Tiffin, Ohio — After receiving a tour of the city from Mayor Aaron Montz and other local leaders last year, social media influencer and TikTok star Joey Kinsley, known as Sir Yacht, returned to Tiffin on Tuesday.

“Always good being back in Tiffin!” Kinsley tweeted.

The Cleveland-based influencer paid a visit to The Renaissance of Tiffin to grab a whiskey sour, and then headed over to Madison Street Tavern for their famous chicken chunks.

“Madison Street Tavern, Tiffin, OH. Best bar food ever. No comparison,” Kinsley tweeted alongside a picture of MST chunks.

Kinsley, who has over 305,000 followers on video-sharing platform TikTok and 40,500 followers on Twitter, often travels around the state to feature communities like Tiffin.

Montz said Kinsley’s popularity on social media platforms is a great marketing tool for the city.

“Sir Yacht is extremely popular with the younger generation and he’s received hundreds of requests from his followers to do a Tiffin feature video. It will be a good tool for recruitment of young professionals to the Tiffin area and also our two universities as they look to expand enrollment,” Montz said.
