A ton of fun restaurants, bars, shopping, music venues. Some recommendations are Del Mar SoCal Kitchen, The Pearl, Forno, El Segundo, Rooh, The Guild House, Townhall, The Rossi, Bakersfield. The Mandrake and Lincoln Social are rooftops. Ginger Rabbit is a jazz club with fun cocktails but you need to make reservations.
Columbus has a ton of breweries. Land Grant is the address listed above and is a favorite. Across the street is one of the BrewDog locations. Also recommend Wolf's Ridge Brewing, Jackie O's On Fourth, Columbus Brewing Company, Saucy Brew Works, Zaftig, Hofbrauhaus, High Bank Distillery.
This is where the main hotel block is. This is an area of tons of shopping indoor and outdoor (pretty much any store you can think of), restaurants, bars. There is a movie theater, escape room, comedy club, sometimes live music, and pedal wagon tours. Pins Mechanical Company is a fun spot for drinks and foosball, pinball, duckpin bowling, ping pong, and bocce. We haven't been to even half of the restaurants but always love Northstar Cafe, Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant, Condado Tacos, True Food Kitchen and so many more! There a lot more fast food type places too.
COLUMBUS IS THE HOME FOR THE BUCKEYES (OSU FOOTBALL), COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS (NHL HOCKEY), COLUMBUS CREW (SOCCER), COLUMBUS CLIPPERS (MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL). Check out if these teams have any games while you are in town or the stadiums.
We often bike or walk our dog on the Scioto Mile Riverfront. This area is across from the Cosi museum.
Cute area in Dublin, Ohio with streets of restaurants, bars, shops.
