Nat’s Place in Chillicothe is a must-faceted business. There’s a lot going on under their roof and one of the things that they have is a full service bar.
And that bar will become our 198th stop on this 365 tour as soon as we get there, so let’s make tracks to Chillicothe and get over there already!

Bar Number 198: Nat’s Place, Sunday, August 23, 2026
Here we are at Nat’s Place and as you can see from the sign, there’s a lot going on in there! Let’s go in and check it out!
The bar is right over there and I think I see a familiar face seated over there…
It’s my friend, Nancy who’s our special guest star of the evening!
Nancy’s looking fabulous and it’s always fun to have her along for the evening!
Tammy was the pretty and friendly bartender in here and she’s been on the blog a few times in the past. She’s the General Manager of the place and it’s great to see her again! She said business has been great in here and that’s always wonderful to hear.
She took our dinner order and told me to feel free to take photos, and so that’s exactly what I’m going to do!
There’s the back of the bar, a shot from the other end of the bar and there’s the cooler that houses the beer, seltzer and other beverages in here.
Dining tables are set up opposite the bar, a communal table sits at the end of the room and the sign on the wall reminds everyone that this must be the place! David Byrne, please take note of this!
There’s menus on the brick wall over here and that squirrel art was done by chalk artist, Devin McGlone, who’s art has been featured on several of the bars we’ve been to already.
Opposite the bar and dining area is a large gift shop, filled with a fun ineventory of items.
They have a gaming room back here behind the gift shop, I told you there was a lot going on in here!
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Our Sunday dinner is served!
Nancy got a cheese, sausage and black olive pizza and I got the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with fries. Everything looks delicious, let’s dig in!
Nancy said her pizza was superb and very tasty!
The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich was unbelievable!
It’s a large chicken breast with crispy batter on the outside and it’s tender, flavorful and juicy on the inside. It’s topped with hot honey sauce that’s equal parts sweet and spicy, there’s crispy slaw beneath it and it’s housed in a toasted, bakery fresh bun.
This is one of the most delicious and satisfying sandwiches I have ever had!
After dinner, Tammy suggested we check out the back patio, which we did and it was beautiful out there!
Thanks to Tammy and everyone at Nat’s Place for a wonderful evening of food, drinks and fun and thanks to Nancy for driving and being the special guest star of the evening!
