About The Party Source

Welcome to The Party Source, your one-stop destination for all things celebration. Founded in 1993 by Ken Lewis, we’ve grown into one of the largest stand-alone liquor stores in the country, proudly serving the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky communities for over three decades. Our dedication to selection, service, and an unparalleled shopping experience has made us a beloved institution among party planners, beverage enthusiasts, and casual shoppers alike.

In 2014, we took a bold step forward by becoming 100% employee-owned, ensuring that every member of our team is personally invested in delivering the best possible experience for our customers. This commitment to excellence has been recognized time and time again, as we’ve been voted Best Liquor Store for an incredible 28 years in a row in CityBeat’s Best of Cincinnati awards.

Spanning over 113,000 square footage, The Party Source offers an unrivaled selection of nearly 50,000 products, catering to every taste and occasion. Whether you're searching for a rare bourbon, a bold craft beer, or a fine vintage wine, you'll find it in our expansive aisles. Our 300-square-foot walk-in wine room is a haven for wine aficionados, while our 800-square-foot walk-in humidor is stocked for the discerning shopper.

More than just a store, The Party Source is a destination. We welcome over 500,000 customers annually, many of whom return time and again for our engaging events and tastings. Multiple times a week, we host beer, wine, spirits, inviting our customers to explore new flavors and refine their palates. Our front patio becomes a lively gathering place during seasonal tasting events, where friends and neighbors come together to enjoy great drinks in a relaxed setting.

We’re also proud to be home to some truly unique experiences. Mama Pompilio’s, a new concept restaurant from the team behind the legendary Pompilios, offers authentic Italian cuisine right on our premises. Meanwhile, our Merchants Club bar provides an exquisite lounge and patio space, perfect for unwinding with a finely crafted cocktail or a rare pour.

Beyond our doors, we are fortunate to be adjacent to the award-winning New Riff Distilling, a craft distillery that has made waves in the spirits industry and welcomes over 30,000 visitors each year. Together, we create an epicenter for fine drinks, great food, and unforgettable experiences.

At The Party Source, we don’t just sell beverages—we help create memories. Whether you're planning a wedding, hosting a backyard barbecue, or simply looking to stock your home bar with the finest selections, our team of passionate, knowledgeable employee-owners is here to assist. With 55,000+ email subscribers and a thriving community of customers, we continue to evolve while staying true to our core mission: providing the best selection, the best service, and the best shopping experience around.
