LucyGate was founded in 2013 as a place where everyone is welcome, and you don't have to bring anything. We provide the food, drink and entertainment. You just bring yourself, family and friends. We do accept donations to cover the cost of the tailgate.
Lucy was the name of the bearcat at the Cincinnati Zoo when LucyGate was established in 2013.
LucyGate is a family friendly atmosphere. There is no age requirement, you need only be 21 to partake in the consumption of alcohol.
The week before each home game (and away games we're attending) we'll post an event to the website with details about the tailgate. Each game is something different, but we always have something good to eat, a selection of draft beer for those of age, and soda and water as well. Make sure you subscribe so we can keep you up to date.
We will provide a selection of food and drink, but feel free to bring a favorite dish to share or beverage to drink. We're always looking for desserts!
Absolutely! We welcome everyone and encourage the visiting team fans to attend. We'll challenge you to a game of corn hole or a round of flip cup!
We have two sets of corn hole, flip cup and beer pong. Mostly though we hope you have fun hanging out and meeting new people.
We have three tv's w/ satellite and local feeds. Our goal is to put on the games everyone wants to see, but we're open to recommendations on game day. If we're short on live games, we have a large selection of pre-recorded games to play as well.
We have a 1000-watt sound system running a playlist with something for everyone. The music is always upbeat, family friendly and designed to get you ready for football!
We only ask for a reasonable donation each tailgate you attend, whatever you feel is fair. The donations we collect go toward future tailgates.
You can drop cash in the donation bin, but we also accept Venmo.
Yes, the trailer is available to rent for your event within the Cincinnati Metro area in the off season. We'll bring the trailer, set everything up, show you how to use the features and return after your event to pack it all back up. Reach out to us directly for more information.
