Best of the West 2023

Best of the West 2023

Since 2017, the Best of the West has celebrated all that Cincinnati’s West Side has to offer. From fried chicken to auto shops, we love celebrating the businesses of this community. Thousands of people voted in the 2023 Best of the West online competition and at the in-person event March 23 at West Side Brewing. Cincy Magazine readers voted for their favorites in 87 categories, and we are excited to bring you this year’s winners. The competition was sponsored by Visiting Angels Cincinnati West.
