COPA Lounge

Cincinnati’s premier Black-owned lounge, Copa, is just two minutes away from the casino in OTR. The lounge is a must-visit for those looking for the ultimate nightlife experience.  

COPA prides itself on its inviting atmosphere and appearance. With an open concept, there are party vibes while keeping it intimate with the atmosphere and the layout. A bar seating area and couches are available throughout the lounge to enhance the warm ambiance.  

With reservations available 30 days in advance, COPA offers a bottomless mimosa and brunch buffet-style service. With options like chicken wings, shrimp tacos, Cajun pasta, and fish, there are options for everyone at COPA lounge. Only open Friday through Sunday, this Black-owned bar and lounge is a must-visit during the weekend!  

The owner of COPA is Jay Rodg. The Black-owned lounge opened in 2019 as a restaurant and nightlife venue that offers Latin/American cuisine, live music, and DJ sets. Rodg wanted to create a space encompassing his diverse background and cultural passion.  

COPA Lounge is located just down the street from Ziegler Park, with various Street parking options and garages in the area. The appropriate dress code is dressy casual. Several TVs are also available throughout the lounge, typically showing sporting events such as Bengals games.
