Organization Description

Waterfront Hall is a micro food hall, bar, live performance venue, event venue, nightly residence, coworking
space, and production company. We are committed to improving community well- being and enriching the social
experience of the Ohio Valley (Wheeling, WV).

Waterfront Hall will become a one-of-a-kind city amenity that strives to answer to a simple question: Do I have somewhere other than home or work where I feel like I belong?

This mixed-use commercial development began in 2018, when the building was purchased and a plan to apply for Historic Tax Credits was pursued. Since then, the building has undergone an intense rehabilitation and modernization so that it fully utilizes its waterfront/downtown location.

Waterfront Hall will provide our patrons and clients with an energetic, historic, naturally beautiful, and welldesigned
environment that makes them feel at home, free to be themselves, and inclined to have fun.
