Dinner in downtown Parkersburg

The 1889


The 1889 is the lounge off the lobby, in the oldest part of the floor plan, named for the year the doors first opened. The 1889 is where the hotel settles in for the evening. Cocktails, a short plate menu, and the kind of room that makes one drink turn into two.
