In recent years, Cincinnati has been working hard to restore many of its historic buildings, although there are still many empty, sadly deteriorating structures around the city. However, hope is not lost for these, and proof exists in a new eatery in Walnut Hills. Branch Restaurant is an elegant community dining destination housed inside a former bank, and it’s already exceeding expectations. You’ll definitely want to pay it a visit.
In 1921, Central Trust Bank opened its first branch on this prominent street corner in Walnut Hills. It went on to be a community gathering place, as well as a bank, but is now living a new life as a unique restaurant.

Branch is located on the main floor of the building, which is filled with light and classically beautiful decor. For another experience, head downstairs to the adjoining bar, Night Drop, which is ideal for before or after meal drinks.

Back upstairs at Branch, the food is surprisingly elegant and flavorful, with the perfect touch of creativity. Those looking to expand their palates will love it, but even picky eaters will find simpler dishes to enjoy.

Brunch is served on the weekends and may just be the best time to visit, at least for your first time. Both dinner and brunch menus have items for sharing, but we suggest ordering a variety of options so that everyone can explore these scrumptious dishes.
