The title of this Yelp listing is a little deceiving. Yes, there is a gift shop here. But Wheeling…read moreArtisan Center is also a venue with a little gallery upstairs and a restaurant downstairs. The gift shop is great. There are lots of Wheeling- and West Virginia-related items to purchase. I was looking for some kind of Mothman something-or-other, and I found a few cool cryptid knickknacks. I've said it before and I'll say it again: West Virginians love their cryptids and myths, and I love it. The gift shop also had lots of clothing, soaps, durable edible goods, art and other things. There's a restaurant inside the Wheeling Artisan Center, but it looked closed when we visited. Upstairs, there's a gallery with historic Wheeling items on display. You can learn about things that were made or originated in Wheeling, like Bayer aspirin, Mail Pouch Tobacco signs, and even a type of cigar. It's fun to peruse while you're in the area, and it's also free to visit.

I stopped by East Wheeling Clayworks on my own during an extended lunch and coffee pit stop in…read moremid-June 2025 (driving from Columbus, OH to northern Virginia). This place is fantastic with a lovely collection of high-quality handmade pottery which are made by artists in Wheeling. First, the studio and shop is only a 2 minute drive north of the main downtown area with nearby street parking available. Second, you'll see their inventory displayed as you enter the store and can ask about the different glazed colors on the pottery. Third, it's a little pricey but I think the high-quality of products made by local artisans is worth it. Fourth, you'll be supporting the local community with your purchase! Overall, it's worth a visit here in you're in town for a lunch stop during regular business hours on weekdays. I found Wheeling, WV to be full of historical gems (walk on the Suspension Bridge if you can and stop by the Heritage Port Park). Don't be fooled by first impressions - yes, it's easy to see that many dilapidated buildings need TLC. But there's also a positive sense of community in Wheeling.

Wheeling is poppin' off with the food halls all around town. Centre Market is probably the biggest…read moremarket in the area, but it ain't even the only one. Do West Virginians love their food halls? Maybe so. Centre Market has the famous Coleman's Fish Market, plus a second location of Tito's Sloppy Doggs (called Tito's in the Market House), a cheese shop and Michael's Beef House, home of the original roast beef sandwich. There's a building that's not physically connected but still part of Centre Market, and it houses a coffee shop, a hand-pie bakery, an ice cream shop and an art gallery. This part of Centre Market also has comfy couches and games to play, so if you're looking for an area to hang out and stay a while, this part of Centre Market is your spot. I love a good food hall, and Centre Market is a good place to visit if you're looking to find something to eat but don't know what you want. There's something for everyone here, and it's all local, which is great.

On a Thursday afternoon the market area was mostly empty and desolate, but the vendors who were operating were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Makes me sad that Wheeling used to be THE city in which to see and be seen. We bought a few sweets and sausages from local vendors and I am sure I could have spent WAY more money here. The building reminds me of the marketplace in Charleston SC on a much smaller scale. I hope these vendors can make it and I wish them a major boost of life and vitality. Everything about Wheeling: the number of Victorian homes, the historic businesses, and the centre market have so much offer, if only a little love continues to go into downtown.

Our last visit was June 30-July 8 of this year. Linda, Bruce and Tracy are all so warm and welcoming and the office/country store is so cute and inviting. I bought a beautiful candle which smells delightful and a cute sign for my bathroom. Whenever I look at them, they just conjure up such fond memories of our wonderful time there. The rooms are cozy and romantic and have a full kitchen. One thing I will never forget is when a fellow guest told Bruce that he could make a killing if he raised the rates and he responded, "No way! We want it to be affordable for everyone." How often do you find business people like that? That's probably why they are always booked. We love you out here in California.
