Bexley is home to several churches and synagogues, several historic sites and pieces of outdoor sculpture, the famous Rubino's pizzeria, the Drexel art house movie theater[1], and several miles of National Road Route 40.

Rubino's Pizzeria, mentioned in "Be True to your School," has become famous for barely changing since its opening in the early 50's. Rubino's does not deliver and only accepts cash or checks. The Main Street address is the only location and has always been independently run. Known for its thin crust pizza, carryout pizzas are packaged in paper, rather than cardboard boxes.

Founded in 1981, The Drexel Theater in Bexley is the original in an area chain of independently run theaters. Locations also exist in Grandview Heights, Ohio, Arena District and the newly-developed South Campus Gateway.

Bexley is also the site of a number of sculptor Alfred Tibor's work, including at the Trinity Lutheran Seminary and Congregation Agudas Achim. Adjoining Bexley is the Franklin Park Conservatory.
