The game ball was given to the fans at the bar.
The bar was packed with fans after the team's playoff win over the Raiders. It was 0: 43.

After the team won its first playoff game in 31 years, the coach wanted to give the ball to the city.
Taylor made sure that he personally received that honor. The third-year coach popped into a local bar and gave a white and brown football with the team's logo as a symbol of thanks for the city's support after Saturday's 26-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The day after Cincinnati's historic win, Taylor said it was great. It was kind of how you picture it when you want it to happen.
Taylor said he had thought of the idea when he was hired as the team's head coach. He said that after the team's first playoff win in more than two decades, he would think about the gesture he wanted to make.
Mt. is the bar he drives past. The Lookout Tavern is often filled with fans of the Cincinnati Reds. He went to the bar after the game with Kevin to give a speech and a game ball.
In a video that went viral Saturday night, Taylor said that this is the first of many playoff games.
Taylor said his two sons and a couple of childhood friends were in the car with him and offered to film the interaction. Taylor didn't want that to happen.
Taylor said at the news conference that he got in and there were a thousand cell phones. I don't know what I was thinking.
Taylor said he tried to keep his interactions under two minutes and stayed on the stage at Mt. The tavern is called Lookout. He said that he was also in and out quickly.
It was part of a celebration that Cincinnati hasn't experienced in more than three decades. The new game-ball tradition was announced by Taylor during the team's postgame celebrations in the locker room, and the tight end stopped by the Hitching Post in Fort Wright, Kentucky.
Taylor was one of the people that the safety was surprised by. The gesture from the coach speaks about how special this year's team is, according to the player.
It was a perfect day to honor the fans of the team. The largest crowd to watch a football game at home was on Saturday.
He could have given the game balls to the guys in the locker room. I'm pretty sure that the fans stepped up yesterday and it was as loud as it's been in my years here.
Taylor said he had never seen another coach do that. He was able to fulfill his vision at the end of a historic night for the city and its fans.
"We give out a lot of game balls to the teams in the league," Taylor said.
