a must for the South Side tour

A friendly blue-collar, filthy dive bar with the greatest mix of ages, races, classes, and types in Columbus. No draft beers and avoid the mixed cocktails. Southbend's hallmark is its remarkable drag shows - mostly because the queens are old and not particularly "good," but that is part of the appeal. Come with no expectations and you'll have a great time.

DUMP

The owner is a drunk and a coke freak. The place is dirty. The people are so ugly and the drag are all over 50! Hideous!!!!!!
