Wahlburgers


During our May Cincinnati trip, we went to several restaurants. One in particular that we went to was Wahlburgers. We went before the Reds game. We decided that we wanted to go here since it was within walking distance and because we wanted to see if it was worth the hype. 

We got seated quickly, which we enjoyed. They were decently packed. Both of us ordered burgers and fries. One piece of advice I would give is to definitely read the menu carefully. Wahlburgers charges extra for fries, which is in small print on the menu. (Husband didn’t notice until we were about to leave our table.) They also rushed us on ordering our drinks but they were about to get a rush. 

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance, but it is similar to any other bar restaurant. It is was just a one-time thing for us. Their decor of movie posters and Wahlburgers playing on the television were cool though.




The only picture I took was of the napkin...I should probably remember to take food pictures.



Are there any restaurants that you prefer when in Cincinnati? Are there any reviews you would like to see? Have you been to Cincinnati or a Wahlburgers location? I would love to find more travel ideas!

In This Moment and Halestorm Concert

On May 4, 2018, my husband and I traveled north to Cincinnati to go to an awesome metal/ rock concert. The lineup included In This Moment, Halestorm, New Year’s Day and Stitched Up Heart. This was such a great show! Words alone cannot describe it. It was full of women empowerment and energy!

New Years Day

All of the bands had female lead singers. Even though there were men in the bands, the women stole the show. For example, in Halestorm, Lzzy Hale has her brother to be the drummer. Many of the songs sang by the bands also expressed power, strength, and empowerment. These songs were anthems!

The crowd was so into it as well. We were all singing along and feeling the music. There was dancing. It was a lot to take in as well.

It was not just the music. There was plenty of theatrics and it was more like an experience. Especially when it comes to Maria Brink and In This Moment. There were lights, dancers, and plenty of movement. She is definitely the metal Lady Gaga. The costumes she has are always stunning as well. Hard to believe she is in her 40s.

All of the bands were great. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. We listen to all of the bands now. It is crazy to think that we only went for Halestorm and In This Moment.

We loved seeing the show and will definitely go back to another concert with these bands. We will definitely go back to the PNC Pavillion as well.
Shoutout to @thisbedofroses (Nick of Stitched Up Heart) for liking one of my Instagram posts during the concert.
