Toos is filthy, but I like it that way. Â It's the definition of a dive bar, and located in a basement, I could see why some would consider this place sketchy as all get out.
I will agree with Kiarash that this is like a house party, just located in a bar. That can be good or bad depending on you mood, but Too's isn't a bad place at all, and a nice refresher from all the dance clubs in the area.
So come, hang out, and enjoy the grossness that is Too's. The specials are pretty great too: Tues is dollar domestics and Saturday they do Powerhour, just like that freshman year house party you chose to pregame at.
I decided to trust my friends who ushered me to the fantastic Skully's and wonderful Ravari Room when they suggested we hit Too's. I also was too tipsy to argue.
From the second we talked into the basement and I was greeted by a sea of backward baseball caps and men in sandals, I knew we'd have a problem. Basically, it's a bad house party. Nobody is dancing. A few people might be playing pool or darts, and there are far too many men and too few women.
With so many solid bars in Columbus, there's no reason to go here.
Caution nostalgia review:
I spent more time in Toos and Panini's South as an undergrad than I care to admit.
Every Thursday/Friday/Saturday night my roommates and I could be found at Toos, for $1 everything/the wing night/or just the everyday cheap drinks. My best friend and I usually went early to get a booth, going so often we would be greeted by our usual drink of choice before we even made it to our seat as well as a $20 from the register to get the jukebox started. It felt like Cheers until the masses of people came in.
I celebrated two 21st birthdays here, one with my fake id and one with my real one. They knew, but I am pretty sure they didn't care.
This leads to;
We were all there for the "final night" after they were forced to close due to underage sales I still feel a bit sad thinking about the last Billy Joel singing along. When I get a chance I will head back to this bar with my old friends, just seeing the blurry picture on this page brought back a flood of memories; dirty bath rooms, the entire bar singing Piano Man with the jukebox and my friend attempting to do the Pee Wee Herman dance on the bar ending in a disastrous fall. Thanks Too's.
