Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea, here.

I’m a big fan of good news, and anything that gives Central Ohio more Wolf’s Ridge is definitely a good thing. The local brewery and restaurant is officially opening inside the historic Worthington Inn later this month, and it’s blending that old-school charm with a seriously good menu. They’ve got cozy tavern vibes, creative dishes, and plenty of reasons to settle in for a while. It’s so nice to see an older space find a new life.
