Here is a short (but growing) list of some of my favorite spots in Columbus. I’ve included a description of my experiences at these places. These places all get 5 STARS!
Bar/Night Clubs
Lounge 62
953 East Johstown Rd (614)-245-8595 http://www.lounge62.com/
I visited this place for the first time this past Saturday for a Girl’s Night. I had a blast. There was a large crowd (but not too crowded). The crowd was mature (mostly 30’s -50’s) and friendly. So there is no need to worry about any craziness popping off. The bartenders were friendly, as well, and served up reasonably priced drinks. I am a dancer so I really appreciated the live DJ who was spinning good music all night. I had such a good time. I’d say it was worth the $10 cover. I will definitely be back to party!
Bars/Restaurants
Sushi Ting
2875 Olentangy River Rd (614)-261-8888
This is the place of my first sushi experience a few years back. It could not have happened at a better place. It was truly special. The atmosphere is quite, calm and minimal. The service is extremely friendly and helpful. I consider myself a calamari connoisseur and their calamari tempura is pretty good. They have a variety of specialty rolls. My favorite is the White Dragon Roll. I love this roll so much, I have a hard time picking other items from the menu. The Habachi meals are good too. They serve a very tasty plum wine. It is a bit on the pricey side but it is definitely a worth-while treat.
Roosters
www.Roosterswings.com (All Locations)
So, I have a thing for Rooster’s. Unfortunately, I cannot remember my first Rooster’s experience, but I do know that I love them. They are my go-to place when I want to throw all my eating inhibitions out the window. They do offer healthy choices there, but that is not what I go for. I go for the potato wedges, fried and sauce drenched chicken tenders, and the margaritas. I think they have the best “bar food” in town. I have been consistently pleased by them. Sometimes, I dine in and sometimes I order a pick-me-up. It all depends on how I feel. Hmm…I haven’t had Rooster in a while, now that I think of it. It may be about that time J
Surly Girl Saloon
1126 N. High St (614)294-4900 www.surlygirlsaloon.com
Every time I visit this place is a humming with local folks. It is obviously a popular spot. The first time I dined there, I had the nachos with vegetarian chili and the blue berry lemonade cocktail. They were both SOOO GOOD. My favorite entre is the salmon. And those red velvet cupcakes are TO DIE FOR and they are HUGE. One year, I had half a dozen red velvet cupcakes in place of a birthday cake and it was PERFECT!
Sushi Rock
570 N. Hight St. (614)453-1585 http://www.sushirockohio.com/
First off, I love the atmosphere of this place. The interior is beautiful, upscale and sophistocated. I’ve only dined here on Wednesday nights. This is when they have their Tsunami Nights. Select sushi and rolls are half off with the purchase of any beverage. The calamari and battered shrimp appetizers there are mouth-watering-good! I have yet to check out their happy-hour or Sunday Fundays, but I’m sure I will soon.
I will be adding more to my favorite’s list shortly as well as a separate Sh*t List
