Parade North Side Join the Parade. ALL are WELCOME. ALL are WELCOME and CELEBRATED at Tillie's.

Tillie's Lounge is named for a larger than life beloved Cincinnati entertainer, Tillie the Elephant. As one of the most famous of many exotic animals in John Robinson’s Circus, she traveled the country and paraded the streets of Northside in the early 20th century. In 1932, the Enquirer’s front page news lauded her for a career “marked with records of heroic deeds, service to humanity and outstanding achievements in her role as an entertainer…”

In the heart of Northside, you’ll find us located at 4042 Hamilton Ave. Originally built in 1881 as Droege Shoes, the building remained a Cobbler for over 77 years among other businesses before becoming an anchor for the Cincinnati LGBTQIA Community. Over the past three decades, our location has served the Northside, LGBTQIA, and Ally Communities as the home of Colors and The Serpent prior to transforming into Tillie's Lounge.

Special Thanks to Cincinnati Leather for hosting their annual Monsterf*ucker Ball at Parade. The weekend continues with some other monsterf*uckers (or so the bathroom wall says). After Judith, it’s Four Horsemen of the Dragocalypse with your Host Eve Kennedy.

PLEASE READ TO THE BOTTOM. PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP.

Tickets are LIVE for the first production in our evolution from legacy bar to an LGBTQ+ Entertainment Venue. The cast of Matt and Ben have been hard at work rehearsing and we're all excited to welcome you for the play. Yes, Matt and Ben is about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

It's a 2 WEEK RUN Only.
Friday 11/20 - 7:30pm
Saturday 11/21 - 7:30pm
Sunday 11/22 - 2:00pm
Friday 11/27 - 7:30pm
Saturday 11/28 - 7:30pm
Sunday 11/29 2:00pm

Advance Tickets are $15.00 but only until 11/7.
After 11/7: $20.00

NOTE: Ticket proceeds benefit the cast and crew of Matt and Ben. PARADE manages the ticketing process but does not retain proceeds. This will help us bring you a wider variety of entertainment while simultaneously ensuring artists have the means to further their craft.

If your first thought is, I'm not paying $15.00 to go to a bar, PARADE is no longer a bar. Yes, we still serve tasty bevies but the focus and the viewing environment are completely different. If you haven't visited, you are in for a real treat. Give it a shot. Grab a ticket. Join the Parade and march on down to Northside's new LGBTQ+ Centric Entertainment Commons.

PARADE is Where We Band Together.
