Uptown employees now have a new way to eat, drink, shop, exercise, stay and have fun—Uptown Perks!
With Uptown Perks, employees at five Uptown anchor institutions—University of Cincinnati, UC Health, TriHealth, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden—can receive a discount or free goodies at participating businesses in Uptown Cincinnati.
Uptown Perks was launched by Uptown Consortium Inc. (UCI) in conjunction with Uptown’s five business associations to support Uptown businesses and the estimated 90,000 employees who work in Uptown.
To enjoy the perks, employees can either show their employee badge while they’re out and about or use an exclusive digital code at checkout. Some of the 20+ businesses where the discounts are applicable include:
Restaurants like the Upside Brew, Good Plates Eatery, Domino’s Pizza on Short Vine, Gaslight Bar & Grill and Chicago Gyros and Dogs.
Shopping and fitness destinations like Pause, Duttenhofer’s Books, Bishops and World Peace Yoga.
Entertainment like Bogart’s, Esquire Theatre and the Clifton Cultural Arts Center.
Hotels like The Graduate Cincinnati, Comfort Suites Cincinnati University-Downtown and Hampton Inn & Suites Cincinnati/Uptown-University Area.

“Uptown is home to some of the most diverse establishments in the region. We are excited to support the thriving business community in Uptown,” says Brooke Rapp, Director of Community Development at UCI. “With Uptown Perks, we know that everyone will benefit—businesses will grow and expand with new customers and employees at five anchor institutions will be able to experience everything Uptown has to offer—and perhaps try something new at the same time. It’s a win-win!”
