Funky Tapas

So, a couple of us went to Bootsy's last Friday to check out Cincy's newest, most cosmopolitan restaurant to open in the past month. The marriage of Bootsy Collins, of P-Funk and Paul Brown Stadium Fame, and Jeff Ruby, of steak, steak and steak fame, led to the city's newest tapas bar.

Overall, I'd have to say, while the company was great, the word that echoed in my head was "overrated." No happy hour specials and fine, but not great, Coca's (Spanish Flatbreads) won't have me rushing back for happy hour. The place was packed with politicians, often not a selling point, who proceeded to take up the whole bar area. Luckily, a member of our group hooked us up with the corner, mirrored table room.

I will have to check out a full meal there and write that up, as the Enquirer seemed to love it

One of the highlights of the menu was the fact that you could buy an entire animal with only 3-days notice.

Cochinillo A La - "Caja China" - Whole Suckling Pig
Slow Roasted Cuban style, carved tableside. Chef selected side dishes and dipping sauces.
Serves 6 or more. 72 Hours Advance Order Required.

Dont' worry, it's a cake, not a real pig, but Bootsy's serves the real deal
