It is not the cold and snowy Cincinnati January that has kept us from dive adventures, it's actually volleyball, basketball and indoor soccer seasons. We both coach volleyball teams, have daughters playing indoor soccer and Tracy has two others playing basketball and volleyball too. Until a new dive adventure can get scheduled we decided to begin blogging our favorite, regular dives.
During this hectic time our regular place remains JB's in Brentwood Bowl. (Officially name changed to Steak Nina but nobody calls it that!) Technically it is at Brentwood Bowl (Winton Road in Springfield Twsp) but you cannot see or hear the bowling alley while inside the restaurant. We depend on JBs for great service, great reasonably priced food, being 'team friendly' and full of plenty local friends. It is fun to surprise 'newbies' with the idea of taking them to a bowling alley for dinner. The next surprise is the menu. A full menu which includes pork chops, sirloin steak, tilapia, wings and massive burgers is usually not expected. Our favorite items are: the hot italian sub (!!!), sirloin steak and the loaded potato rags. We could go on about the potato pancakes, potato soup or hot slaw. We cannot omit the awesome green beans or the side salads loaded with eggs, cheese, and tomatoes. Gotta check out their Sun - Thurs dinner specials for $9.99 too.
Of course my Mick is disappointed by the on-tap beer selection. They recently added American Red which seems to satisfy him for now. They do have a full bottle beer selection if you want something besides the usual Anheuser Busch brews.
JBs is a great place for us to unwind with our families and spend time with awesome friends. The kids have a few games to play and always seem to run into a teammate, classmate or neighbor. Our most recent visit was on Sunday of MLK weekend celebrating wins by Tracy's volleyball team. Cajun tilipia, sirloin steaks, buckets of beer and bestest of friends made a spontaneous evening out priceless.
We are hoping to dive to a new place soon but until then JBs totally satisfies.
