The Alleen Company/Lasting Impressions
The Alleen Company/Lasting Impressions is Cincinnati’s original event rental company.
The company began by specializing in renting linens to restaurants, but over the years founder Harold Luehrman expanded to renting tables, chairs and tents. His son, Tim, inherited the business in 1968 and continued the growth of the company with the addition of booths, casino games and other festival equipment.
They have provided tents, tables, chairs, stages, dance floors, china and linens for events of all sizes since 1951. They also have serving equipment, concession machines and supplies, and Monte Carlo games and dealers for any event. Recognizing that every customer is unique, their planning process is individually customized to meet your goals within your budget.
For over 60 years, The Alleen Company/Lasting Impressions has been installing tents at the Tri-State’s largest public events. They are also the name behind the tenting found at Greater Cincinnati’s elegant weddings, private parties, festivals and corporate events. The Alleen Company/Lasting Impressions has the perfect tent size for you.

Dingle House Pub & Grub
A taste of Ireland here in Cincinnati:
The perfect venue for your special event, the Dingle house offers a night to remember.
If you’re looking for an authentic Irish taste or traditional home cooking here in the Queen City, look no further than the Dingle House Irish Pub. Perhaps you are looking for a tasty way to celebrate the upcoming St. Patrick’s day holiday, craving a helping of corned beef and cabbage to combat the winter chill that has settled here in the Ohio River valley. Whatever your reason, Dingle House has just the right selection of food, drink, and atmosphere to please even the most discerning fan of Irish cuisine or a connoisseur of a delicious home cooked meal such as sirloin steak and potatoes, grilled salmon or bacon wrapped meatloaf.
Start off your meal with some tasty appetizers, like pretzel bites and beer, Irish egg rolls, cheese or a veggie flatbread or wings. Selections for main courses are many, and there’s something to please any palate at your table. For those seeking true Irish fare, sink your teeth into a classic Reuben, try a tasty pastrami sandwich, or take a culinary hop across the pond for a steaming plate of bangers and mash or fish and chips.
Of course, no meal is complete without dessert, and Dingle House has even the sweetest tooth covered. Share a molten chocolate dessert with your sweetie, or skip the sharing and savor for yourself a warm, gooey serving of Irish Bread pudding or a wonderful Crème Brûlée. Enjoy the live music on Friday and Saturday evenings between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Prices are always reasonable at Dingle House, so a meal with several courses won’t be a major hit to your wallet.
Named after the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland, Dingle House aims to channel pure Irish authenticity in not only their food, but in the design of the dining room (which boasts an interior bar made in Ireland) and even in their staff’s kilt uniforms. You guessed it, whether it’s a cold Guinness (Dingle House supplies one of Cincy’s largest beer lists), a hot plate of fish and chips, or a Caesar salad, your server will deliver your Irish or American feast to you, clad in a kilt. If you’re looking to take your wedding celebration to the next level, consider hosting your rehearsal dinner at Dingle House. You and your guests will be treated to a comfortable but sophisticated atmosphere with quality dishes, a large selection of beer, and the spirit of Ireland in a richly handsome pub.
You can choose meals from the menu, or you can select a limited menu for your guests. Or you can give your wedding party the gift of seconds or even thirds with the buffet option.
You can reserve a private room any day of the week, and the friendly staff at Dingle House will be happy to make your special event a one of a kind experience. Our spacious yet cozy fireplace room is perfect for parties, formal occasions and business meetings. No matter how you find your version of “craic,” the Gaelic term for fun, Dingle House is ready to serve you. No one else in Cincinnati will serve up the modern spirit of Ireland or the heartiness of home cooking like Dingle House does.
So come on over to the restaurant, located off Union Centre Boulevard on West Chester Towne Center Drive, and tuck into a feast that says “Erin go Bragh” with each and every bite.
Celebrating your special event at Dingle House will make your event even more exciting than you thought it would be. COME JOIN US.
