( Cincinnati ) Jefferson Social, described as a neighborhood bar and restaurant serving Mexican street food, will open at The Banks in April of this year. The restaurant will occupy about 4,000 square feet at the corner of Freedom Way and Walnut Street.

Developers say Jefferson Social will have "unique seating for small and large groups as well as party-friendly communal tables with a bar featuring more than 25 bourbons and 16 taps rotating domestic and craft beers."

Founder and owner Tony Cafeo says the focus will be on fresh ingredients. Cafeo is also the owner of Jefferson Hall at Newport on the Levee and Incline Public House in Price Hill, that broke ground last year.
