The following is an excerpt from our BuyCincy Opening Day Guide. Click here to check out the complete guide.

Don't have a ticket to the game? Here are 6 places we recommend you check out to catch the game over food and drinks with other Reds fans.

1. Fountain Square

Sure to be packed with Reds Fans, a jumbo screen and lots of entertainment, Fountain Square is a great place to watch the game. Give Back Cincinnati is putting on an Opening Day event, with food, drinks, live music, and of course the Game on the Jumbotron. The schedule for events is:

2:00- 6:00 Food, drink and the game
6:00 The Flight Station
7:00 Ellison
8:00 Heroes and Madmen
9:00 TBA

2. Gabby's Cafe

Owner Dino DiStasi is a huge Reds fan. Gabby's is not a sports bar, but it is a great restaraunt with lots of great flat screen TVs, and really good food. Located in Wyoming on Wyoming Ave, it is the perfect spot for people in the north/central region to watch the game. Visit www.gabbyswyoming.com for directions and a menu.

3. Tickets

A good locally owned sports bar in Covington with lots of TVs and a happy hour from 2pm to 7pm. Visit www.ticketssportscafe.com

4. Champions Grille

Champions on the westside has over 40 TVs and they also have a happy hour from 1pm to 7pm. Visit www.championsgrille.com

5. The Holy Grail

With two locations, one in Clifton and one on the westside, the Holy Grail is a great place to watch a game. Visit www.holygrailclifton.com

6. Hyde Park Tavern

Like Gabby's, not a sports bar per se, but a great restaraunt with a lot of great TVs (and awesome burgers).
Located on Erie Avenue in Hyde Park.
