Beer Gardens

 


  If there was space in back or alongside, the saloon would have an outdoor garden shaded by vines or trees. They generally catered to the family trade. The establishments shown here were among the most popular.

  Located on Highland Avenue since 1865, Mecklenburg's Garden was owned and operated by John Neeb as the Mt. Auburn Garden Restaurant and Billiard Saloon. Louis Mecklenburg who bartended for Neeb bought the business in 1886 and, of course, changed the name to his. On some of these postcards it says on the back, "One of the sights of Cincinnati. Take Highland Ave. or Vine-Burnet cars to the door." This place is still in operation today and is located at 302 E. University Ave. Corryville.

Mecklenburg cards are views from the early thirties up to the early sixties.
