This place can make a mean cocktail ;)
Overall, a good time, with some exceptions
Some men were oblivious (drunk or just posing?) but the vibe was good in general. We heard some mixed reviews, but all in all, we would go back for a second try. The most fun I had was when one drunk leather puppy, who loudly declared he was a bottom, asked for volunteers to sniff his butt. I obliged, to alot of raucous laughter, although the bartender was not amused.
Great place to hang out
This bar has made some major changes when it came under new management. It's a great place to go grab a drink and hang out. The bar has a fantastic patio that lots of people love to hang out and relax. If you're looking for a good place to hang our I highly recommend this bar.
hook up central
Defintely the cruisiest bar in Columbus. Caters to the bear and leather crowds, but the majority of patrons are average joes. Largest patio of the gay bars here, it usually has double the people on it that are inside. Can easily get overcrowded. The "events" here seem hit or miss.
Order Bottled Drinks
This bar can be busy on Friday and Saturday Nights. Bear and Blue Collar Scene Friendly crowd, nice patio and not a bad atmosphere. Beware, If you order Top Shelf alcohol you're not getting it. They pour their house Alcohol into the Top Shelf bottles, giving you the illusion you're getting what you pay for. If you don't normally drink the house alcohol and order, you will wake up with a nasty hangover. If you're ok with the house drinks, then no problem. If not order whatever they have in a bottle.
