Opening Soon HR10

A sports bar named after a road
7,500 miles away.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Every game on the wall, a kitchen that grew up somewhere else, and a patio that stays lit.

The story

The name

HR10 is a number plate.

In Haryana, India, every district gets a code. Sonipat's is HR 10 — two letters and two digits stamped on every car, every truck and every scooter that belongs to the place. It is the kind of detail you stop noticing entirely, right up until you leave.

Twenty years ago the owner left Sonipat for the United States and became an American. Now he is putting his hometown's code above a door in Cincinnati.

There is a second reading, and it is a happy accident. On any American scoreboard, HR means home run — and this is the oldest baseball city in the country. For a sports bar, that is not a bad name to land on twice.

Haryana district code 10 — Sonipat. About 7,500 miles from Cincinnati.

What's coming

Two things at once, on purpose.

Every game, every screen

Football Sundays, summer nights at the ballpark, and whatever is still on at closing time.

A kitchen from somewhere else

Bar food with a Haryanvi accent. The spice is not a garnish and it is not an apology.

The patio stays lit

String lights, open air and a long table. Built for the half-hour after the final whistle.

Open late

Because overtime runs long and nobody wants the kitchen to close first.

The building

Dark timber. Warm light.
A patio that stays open.
