Did you know that some Ohio restaurants have stood the test of time? Several eateries have welcomed hungry diners since the 1800s, and their delicious meals and friendly service have kept everyone returning for generations. Here are a few places that have survived everything from Prohibition to the Great Depression:
Spread Eagle Tavern & Inn (10150 Plymouth Street, Hanoverton)
Finished in 1837, the Spread Eagle Tavern & Inn is now one of the finest examples of Federal period architecture in the Hanoverton area. It’s full of history and is believed to have been a frequent stagecoach stop for President Lincoln.
Entrees include seared Bay of Fundy salmon, flame-grilled filet mignon, and roasted rack of lamb.
Arnold’s Bar & Grill (210 East 8th Street, Cincinnati)
Boasting 163 years of history, Arnold’s Bar & Grill is the oldest tavern in Cincinnati. It opened in 1861, and is known for its great food, strong drinks, and live musical entertainment.
Dinner offerings include spaghetti and meatballs, fried green BLTs, and short ribs served with grits. While waiting for your meal, enjoy some Cinci poutine. You won’t be disappointed.
