Lost Co

We are building a different kind of hospitality company with a trailblazing culture. We design and build dramatic venues entirely ourselves, creating not just beautiful venues, but ones imbued with a sense of meaning that we seek to inject into even the tiniest details. We believe the old ways of doing this are coming to and end, and we aim to be first to show you why. In 2021 we opened our first bar, Somerset. Built with materials from around the world collected over more than 5 years of boots-on-the-ground travel, now set in a sprawling, vibrant garden and conservatory in the heart of Over-the-Rhine. In 2022 we opened Somerhaus, a sister private event space to meet the intense demand Somerset sees for private events (Somerset is a bar and a community gathering spot. We built it for everybody, so it's open every day). Later in 2022 we opened Alice, a nightlife spot featuring an entirely projection mapped dance floor with mind bending visuals. Inspired by the early early days of Northern Soul then Acid House in the UK, followed by too many hazy weekends in Berlin. Most recently we opened Second Story, a cocktail bar and patio in Covington that embraces many of the fierce independent art and literary movements that have inspired us. Next up we have one more bar to open in Cincinnati in 2023- and trust us, we are really going for it with this one. Then we move onto our true goal, to build a series of design hotels for the next generation. We've spent two years learning, shaping our culture, sharpening our skills, and building our processes. We can't wait for what comes next.
