Zac Taylor and Co.’s epic Super Bowl charge has revitalized a city of long-suffering fans, and in turn, Mount Lookout Tavern has thrived.
CINCINNATI — Josh Clyde is not comfortable with 400 Jell-O shots. At $1 apiece, the pre-prepared stockpile here at Mount Lookout Tavern stands little chance up against a Bengals fan base that, over the last month, has waited outside this establishment for hours just trying to get in. Some have tried to climb through side doors and other openings before being dutifully brushed back by Clyde’s assistant manager, Lauren Jenney. Others drank well into the night on Saturday hoping they could extend their tab into Sunday as a shortcut to valuable bar space during a Bengals game.
