What we say
Boys and booze.
Dance, cruise, and grab a guy all in one. Tradewinds is a leather/S&M/daddy/bear bar and one of the oldest gay bars in Columbus that caters to the 40+ crowd with a large dancefloor, two full-service bars and an outdoor smoking patio. Thursdays and Sundays are generally packed due to the club's popular male stripper shows.

This place is straight of out the 70s. Dark, dirty, cruisy and never a huge crowd (or so it seems because of the size). At least you won't feel like you need to dress up to enter. Or dress at all.

Tradewinds is a bar that is fun, you can dance, you can see Maria Garrison host strippers, you can see leather you can see whatever you want, but it lacks the overall interaction bar, def a cruise spot if you are looking for that, good drinks nice staff, but busy staff. decor is very dark so it doesn't matter, it one of "those" kind of gay bars but you can have lots of fun if you are that type of person

You can't set your watch by this place. One night leather, the next night twinks. Next week hunks, then the next night trolls. It's a schizophrenic bar for a strange city full of attitudes. But you can still have a dam good time. Highlight: getting a $25 ticket for parking outside. Way to go, Ohio.

I've been going to Tradewinds for a few years now and there is no other bar in Columbus or anywhere else I would rather be. Friendly Staff, Great Music and a Packed Dance Floor every Saturday Night!! Everyone is welcomed, gay, straight, male, female, bear, leather, twink, young or old, everyone meshes and has a great time. You won't be disappointed at Tradewinds II.
