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 a multi-million-dollar 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 well-designed environment that makes them feel at home, free to be themselves, and inclined
to have fun.
