Just a heads up. Arnold's has taken an extended break for Labor Day. We will return this Thursday at 11:30am. Have a great one and hope to see you soon!

Just wanted to put out a friendly heads up that Molly Wellman will not be at Arnold's tonight. She returns next Tuesday! Thanks!

Our print series continues this Saturday August 24 at 8pm. This month is a big one! For this New Orleans Voodoo inspired print we teamed up one of Cincinnati's most popular bands, The Hot Magnolias with world famous street artist L'amour Supreme! You would most likely recognize the giant Mushroom girls mural in Over the Rhine that he installed for Blink or maybe from the mural of Czarface that he did in our alley. He has been commissioned to paint murals all over the world and we couldn't be more honored that he is doing a print with us! This paper for these prints was hand painted by Arnold's owner Chris Breeden and they were printed at DIY Printing. These hand painted multiples are 18x24 come in an edition of 50 and L'amour is flying in Friday to individually hand sign and number each one. Be sure to say hi to him at the show!

The famed Wings of Death return next week for Cincinnati Wing Week! Do you have what it takes to win this free t-shirt by downing 12 of the hottest wings you will ever eat? T-shirt by the local design legend Jason Snell!

This month's Gig Poster Series continues on July 6th with one of Cincinnati's most well known artists and one of Arnold's most popular bands! We teamed up at Keith Neltner of Neltner Small Batch and Moonshine Drive Bluegrass and threw in a little help from Arnold's owner Chris Breeden hand painting the paper. These aren't just regular old screen prints. They are actually hand painted multiples. No two prints are the same. The paper was painted with up to 6 coats of paint and then screen printed at DIY Printing with metallic silver ink! They come in an edition of 50, are hand signed by the artist and are 18x24 which is a common size so that you can frame them yourself! Prints are $45. Pick yours up this Saturday at 8pm when Moonshine Drive plays at Arnold's!

Hi everyone! Arnold's is closed until Friday July 5th in celebration of Independence Day! Have a great Holiday!
