8 Places for Chili, Cincinnati Style
If you've never had a bowl of iconic Cincinnati-style chili, you don't know what you're missing. This city has been known as the chili capital of the world since the early 1900s when Macedonian immigrants Tom and John Kiradjieff founded the city's first of many chili restaurants. Today, there are dozens of great local dining establishments where you can order a bowl of Cincinnati chili any way you like it.
If you're new to Cincinnati chili, you'll find it's unlike any other chili you've had. It's often sweet and able to be customized just to your liking. When it comes to Cincinnati-style chili, you typically order it multiple ways: 1-way is chili only, 2-way adds spaghetti, 3-way adds cheese, 4-way adds onions or beans, or 5-way adds onions and beans.
If you're in the mood for a warm bowl of chili this fall, here are eight places where you can order it Cincinnati-style:
Price Hill Chili Family Restaurant
4920 Glenway Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45238
One of the most popular restaurants in Cincinnati, Price Hill Chili is a family-owned and operated establishment on the west side. This comfortable, neighborhood-style restaurant serves some of the best 5-way chili in the city. Order it in a bowl (any number of ways), a Coney dog, or a chili cheese sandwich. Plus, add a side or a salad to go with it. The restaurant is also attached to Golden Fleece Lounge, a nice cocktail bar where you can have a drink and watch the game.
Camp Washington Chili
3005 Colerain Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45225

A '40s-style diner serving some of the best Cincinnati-style chili around, Camp Washington Chili is worth checking out for both the food and decor.

The restaurant has become a local landmark with both the interior and exterior resembling a 1940s-style diner. The 5-way chili has been featured on numerous food television series. Plus, the diner is open 24 hours a day except Sunday, so you can enjoy a bowl of chili almost any time you'd like.
The Silver Ladle
580 Walnut St. S700, Cincinnati, OH 45202

8 Repurposed Buildings Around Ohio for Drinks or Dinner
As time marches on, many beautiful old buildings often end up destroyed or forgotten. Thankfully, not all of them meet this fate. Many businesses around Columbus, Cincinnati, and Northeast Ohio have turned historic buildings into thriving new bars and restaurants. Check out our list below for a few we know you'll want to check out.
Baltic Mill Winery
111 E. Main St., Baltic, OH 43804
The Baltic Mill Winery operates inside an old Amish flour mill from the early 20th century. Formerly repurposed as a gift shop and bulk goods store, the mill was finally converted into a winery in 2013. Many of the original chutes and machinery components are still intact and can be observed in the seating and tasting room, adding some extra historical interest to the guest experience.
The Baltic Mill is best known for their sweet wines, including their Little Daisy and Just Peachy varieties. Their best-selling variety is their blackberry wine, a local delicacy that sells out almost as quickly as it's produced. Be sure to ask if they have any in stock when you stop by.
Father John's Microbrewery
301 W. Butler St., Bryan, OH 43506
View this post on Instagram
Father John's Microbrewery was founded in 2013 in the remains of a stunning 19th-century parsonage. The new owners have taken advantage of the gorgeous high ceilings, distinctive windows, and wide-open spaces, turning the building into a bar and restaurant with AirBnB rooms available for guests who want to stay the night.
In their spacious bar and dining room, you can try one-of-a-kind brews like their Eye for an Eye Pale Ale, Garden of Eden Cream Ale, and brand-new Black Buffalo Vodka made from fresh Ohio corn. Stop by for lunch or dinner to enjoy dishes like mac and cheese, ribeye steaks, and deluxe charcuterie boards brimming with finger-food favorites.
Bell Tower Brewing Co.
Bell Tower Brewing Co. was founded by two hopeful entrepreneurs who wanted an exceptional building to house their exceptional brews. When they came across an old church in Kent, they knew they had found the right place. Whether you'd like to sit under the vaulted ceilings and old-fashioned chandeliers inside or enjoy the fresh air in the brewery's beer garden, this bar offers plenty of ambiance on top of its artisan stouts, ales, and lagers.
From the bright, slightly sweet tang of their Answered Prayers blackberry ale to the toasty caramel notes of their Pufferbelly steam beer, these brewers have something for everyone. Some of their brews are also available in gluten-reduced versions to help more people enjoy them. Hungry? Their soups, salads, sandwiches, and appetizers are sure to please your palate.
The Olde Jaol Steakhouse and Tavern
215 N. Walnut St., Wooster, OH 44691

The Wayne County Sheriff's Office and Jaol was completed in 1865 and operated as a working police station and jail until 1977. After that, it was designated a Northeast Ohio historical site and was used to house several businesses, including the Olde Jaol Tavern and Steakhouse starting in 1995.
Many paranormal enthusiasts enjoy visiting the restaurant in hopes of spotting the ghosts that are rumored to haunt the premises. However, the excellent food is a big part of what's kept people coming back all this time. Diners can order gourmet salads, delectable sandwiches, and all kinds of grilled steaks and fish for a delicious and satisfying meal. If you only have time for a drink, the Olde Jaol's bar also offers a basic selection of beer, wine, and other beverages you can enjoy while spending time in this fascinating historical space.
Berea Depot Bar and Restaurant
The Berea Depot Bar and Restaurant was built inside an old sandstone train depot from 1876. Guests eat facing the tracks, and even though the trains no longer pass through here, it's still a hauntingly novel experience. The restaurant even offers catering and special reservations in the Pullman Car, an old train car that has been retrofitted to accommodate diners.
The restaurant's food is just as good as its atmosphere. Choose from dishes like their Baby Back Ribs and Hungarian Paprika Chicken, sandwiches like their Triple Stack Grilled Cheese and Turkey and Ham Club, or their specialty flatbreads; they're all delicious. There's also plenty of wine and beer on tap for you to enjoy alone or with a meal.

Originally a grocery store known as Hummel's Market from 1938-1945, Boyd and Wurthmann Restaurant has retained its quaint, old-fashioned charm since then. Many of the city's older residents love to stop in for one of the restaurant's locally famous 99c coffees every single morning.

Check out the menu online to see when your favorite dish is coming up next.
Ghost Baby
1314 Republic St., Cincinnati, OH 45202
Ghost Baby lounge was built in the underground tunnels that a local brewing company used to use to brew and age their beer back in the early 19th century. It takes its name from the sound of the workmen installing new lighting in the tunnels when the space was first repurposed several years ago. Now, it's one of the most trendy bars in the city, its luxurious yet eerie atmosphere setting the mood for many a night of fun.
The lounge features nightly live music from local jazz performers and lounge singers to entertain you while you mingle. You can order a variety of wines, spirits, and specialty cocktails. Whether you're in the mood for the bright and bubbly flavor of Tickled Pink or the smooth richness of Lifestyles of the Famous, there's something here you'll love sipping on throughout the night. Guests who come hungry can indulge in some handmade chocolates or nibble from a charcuterie board.

311 Delta Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45226

In 1981, chef Jeff Ruby opened The Precinct in the building that used to serve as Cincinnati Patrol House 6. It has since become a major culinary attraction and was recently named one of America's Top 10 Steakhouses by USA Today.
This fine-dining restaurant uses nothing but the best ingredients in all of its dishes. As a top-tier steakhouse, they are best known for their savory U.S.D.A. prime steaks, premium filet mignon, and Japanese A5 wagyu beef. Other entrée options include roast chicken, lobster, and king crab. Pair each dish with one of their signature cocktails or fine wines, and cap off the experience with a delectable dessert.
