Columbus Ohio, and good bars?

[joegrec]

I'll be heading to Columbus OH this coming Saturday.

Are there any good bars/restaurants that we can go to?

Poor man for going to my hometown. There are some good places, depending on what you are interested in.

Good places for dessert:

Pattycake Bakery: http://www.pattycakeveganbakery.com/ (clintonville)

Jen's icecream: http://jenisicecreams.com/ (north market)

Good bar:

Last couple of meals I had there were pretty average. Perhaps it was just the dishes I ordered. Northstar is good. Thurman's for a great burger. G. Michael's in German Village is apparently phenomenal but I haven't been there yet (hopefully in June!). If you like live jazz check out Dick's Den. A divey spot with great local acts almost every night.

My info may be slightly out of date. I know Handke's closed

I believe L'antibes is still in business and quite good.... seriously, it's great, go there... but if you want other ideas: Thurmann's for a long wait and a great burger and some beers. Lindey's M by Cameron Mitchell (or Mitchell's Steak house) My knowledge of the bar scene there consists of parking lots, anymore... and there's no football game, so I can't help you too much.

I had a long post with links and everything, but I accidentally refreshed and erased everything

but here's the short list:

Bars:
-Surly Girl Saloon
-Bodega (50 beers on tap!)
-Betty's
-Tip Top (heard about both this and Betty's from friends, heard good things about both)

Food:
-Thurman's
-Northstar Cafe
-Marcella's (might get flack for this, but I enjoy the fettucine + meatball there)
-Jeni's (excellent ice cream. everyone raves about the salty caramel, but i'm a bigger fan of the honey vanilla bean. some of the flavors you have to taste to believe)

Shopping:
-Milk Bar (streetwear, APCs, Capital E's)
-Tigertree (Fred Perry, toms, etc.)
-Sole Classics (sneakers/t shirts + bomber jackets)
-Brigade (heard good things... like W+H !!)

have fun in columbus!

This Saturday is "O-Gee" a dance party thrown by Milk Bar (our local denim boutique) at Due Amici... old school hip hop, always fun.

Don't bother checking out any clothes stores besides Milk Bar, Tiger Tree and Brigade.

Hope you enjoyed your trip to the heart of Buckeye Country.

Quick report on the trip to Columbus.

The trip was mainly to catch a soccer game. (Columbus Crew vs Tronto FC) Toronto lost

We where going to stay at the Hyatt on Captol. But when we went to check in they had given away every room even though I had prepaid for both the rooms. So they refunded my money and booked me into a suite at the residence inn 2 blocks down for free.

Anyway we where very inpressed by Columbus. It a pretty nice city (not counting the neighbourhood surround Crew stadium). We headed down to Short North and checked out some of the bars/restaurants in the area. We decieded on Bodega. The food was pretty good and the beer selection was amazing. Anyway Columbus is definately a place I would visit again.

I just saw Jeni's featured on a Food Network special about their spicey flavor ice cream. Made me remember this thread.

Did OP check it out?

 

[joegrec]

No unfortunately not. The line up when we drove by was huge. Probably 50 people still standing our side the store.

We drove by later (around 11pm) and the line had died down considerably but we where stuffed from supper and decieded against it.
