A rooftop over Yoctangee Park. Igloos and cornhole in the courtyard downstairs. Mozzarella sticks people write entire reviews about. It has been here the whole time, one block off Paint Street.
Most places give you a table. This one gives you a choice, and the choice changes with the weather, the crowd you brought, and how loud you feel like being.
Get above Water Street and the evening slows all the way down. Open air, bulbs strung end to end, and a view over Yoctangee Park you are never getting from a booth. People come up here for one drink at five and are somehow still here at ten. That is not an accident, that is the roof.
A whole yard behind the building: cornhole, a basketball hoop, picnic tables, TVs on the wall and a walk up window so nobody is stuck inside waiting on a round. When it turns cold, the igloos go up and you get your own lit dome with the game on. Bring six people. Bring sixteen.
Pressed tin, gold frames, low red light and whatever the bartender chalked up tonight. Reviewers keep landing on the same comparison without being asked for it, and it is the reason this page opens the way it does. Bartenders here are fast, and they will make you just about anything.
Then work your way out. Shareables, five flatbreads, three kinds of wings, five kinds of tots, and a salad big enough to be dinner. A few of the regulars are below, and the whole menu is one tap away.
"The best mozzarella sticks I've ever ate."
Ashtyn Vollmar, Google review
Served with a side of red sauce or ranch. Order them first. Everybody does.
Tortilla chips, seasoned taco beef, shredded colby jack, queso, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and banana peppers. Salsa and sour cream on the side. Small size $8.
Big enough for the table. The small still isn't small.
Six slow braised mini pork shanks. All the fun of wings, with way more meat. Served with a side of BBQ sauce.
"pork wings fell off the bone"
Cheesy flatbread with mayo, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. Exactly like your favorite BLT, only pizza style. Five flatbreads on the menu, this is the one that raises eyebrows.
Ham, turkey, pepperoni, mozzarella and provolone, tomatoes, red onions, eggs and croutons. Named after the street, built like a full dinner.
Vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped topping, walnuts, cherry on top. Under three dollars. There is no good reason to skip it.
"The best and cutest bar in Chillicothe. Reminds me of a Columbus bar."Alexis Farley, Google review
"This is the best place in Chillicothe to get a drink and relax! Tons of seating and space. The doors are open and the rooftop is beautiful! The bartenders are fast!"
"A really nice place to grab some food and a drink with the family. They have corn hole, basketball, and a really nice rooftop view of Yoctangee Park."
"Always a fun time! The food is great, the outdoor area is perfect for summer days. Nice basketball hoop, service window outside to get drinks fast, the rooftop area is awesome. 10/10 on everything:)"
A bar that families actually plan around. There is a play house out back, a basketball hoop, and music that will not make you wince. Parents keep saying the same thing in their reviews, so we may as well say it here: it is very kid friendly.
Every one comes with fruit, kettle cooked chips, and a juice box or a water.
