Local Bar

I guess I would call this place "divey," if I had to pick a label. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

I usually end up here at the end of the night, so I haven't had the chance to see what the happy hour/weekly events are like (I gotta catch those crab races one day!)  but when I do come, it's always been fun.

Drinks: decent beer selection for a small place, and they have a heavy hand with the mixed drink pours. Definitely a winner

Food: there's a free popcorn machine, so eat before or after if you're planning a full meal.

Music: jukebox has pretty good choices, and should keep your feet happy all night. (can be too loud to gave quiet conversation - but it's a bar, What'd you expect?)

The biggest downside for me is the single person bathrooms, that is just too small for a busy weekend night.

Third bar of the night...  I'm not too familiar with Columbus but this is the best one thus far.  Super cheap drinks during happy hour, interesting people, loud and current music, and cool decorations.  I hear its a gay bar but I don't feel uncomfortable here at all...  and its not super obvious if it is.  Definately would return!

Pretty annoying spot. Plus, going to a bar in a strip mall in the Short North just doesn't seem kosher. Dunno what it is about this place that puts a burr in my saddle - as others have said, the layout is dumbfounding as all get out - I didn't know there was an entire "other" side of the bar until I went wandering trying to find the shitter - and the decor is stuck somewhere between ironic and hideous. I've also attempted to play the jukebox but it seems like people put $20s in the thing all night and about 300 songs are in the queue, so good luck hearing something you want if it's busy.

My gay friends seem to love it, which doesn't jive with me, since the clientele is mainly overflow from the worst of the ShoNo bars like Bernards, and stoners who stumbled in from the parking lot after smoking a bowl in their Cutlass.

They have a decent selection of beers, but truth be told I'm usually just drinking gin straight up by the time I end up here, and the service seems to usually be pretty A-OK. I guess this might be an acceptable spot for a nightcap or to make out in the parking lot, and there's a White Castle nearby, so I guess it's got that going for it.
