WELCOME TO JAPP’S–SINCE 1879

We specialize in craft drinks using the freshest ingredients made in house, and inspired by classic cocktails from the 1700s to the 1950s. Molly Wellmann heads our team of mixologists, who are not only experts at making our delicious cocktails, but are well versed in their history and the history of the spirits that go into them. At Japp’s, you’ll find many unique liquors as we emphasize small, craft distillers in our cocktails. Our selection of liquors is extensive and was hand selected by Molly for quality—not marketing!

What you won’t find at Japp’s are TVs! The environment here was designed so that you can have the authentic Cincinnati cocktail experience. The architecture compliments the over 100 year history of Japp’s as a Hair Store, the unique history of Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, and provides the ideal setting for you to enjoy drinks, as well as a conversation.

To find out more about our history, our friendly and talented mixologists, or to learn how to make some inspired and delicious cocktails, please look around the website. We hope it will convince you to come down and be a part of what makes Cincinnati great. We can’t wait to meet you!
