Search hotels in Nelsonville, OH

We went to the Rocky Outlet (which has tons of boots!). We also stopped by the coffee shop in town. Great smells were emanating from Star Brick Barbecue. We ate dinner in town at Rhapsody, which is affiliated with Hocking College. Our dinners were delicious! The servings were generous, the beer was really good (a local Russian Imperial Stout from Jackie O's in Athens). They also had an acoustic guitar artist who provided just the right amount of background ambiance. We were celebrating a birthday and it was perfect! (BTW, Rhapsody accepts reservations through Open Table.) We were disappointed that so many of the Nelsonville shops were closed. We hope to return later in the spring and possibly take the scenic rail tour (it was also closed on the weekend we were there). We also enjoyed the art gallery that features works from area students. Some of the pieces were so creative.

We stayed for the New Year’s Eve train. But was very disappointed when we checked in and had to go to Athens for dinner because with the exception of pizza all restaurants were closed. Even the bar at our lodge was closed for the holiday. If we plan on doing the train again next year, we will just stay in Athens at least we’ll have dinner choices.
