Beer Thirty in Columbus OH
Since moving to the Columbus area, I’ve practically been a hermit, rarely venturing out. I live and work on the outskirts of Columbus, rarely needing to travel inside the I270 circular. There are a number of really great neighborhoods within the I270 ring, like Upper Arlington, Clintonville and the Short North, but to me and my limited travels, I jokingly call anything within I270 “downtown”. On the occasion that I have driven through “downtown” I’ve noticed a number of bars that would be quite interesting to visit:
Betty’s Bar
435 W Nationwide Boulevard
Phil & Young’s Tavern
1455 Harrisburg Pike
Amicon Grill
1168 Chambers Road
Claddagh Pubs Of Polaris, LLC
8745 Sancus Boulevard
Ok so the last one is not downtown, but I pass by it all the time and yet have never gone inside, which is really quite odd, since I used to frequent an Irish bar in London (a lot!) before moving here.
There are so many really cool bars and taverns in Columbus. I probably won’t get to sample them all, but I’d love to step into a few of them, sample their food and beverages and perhaps record my visit with a photo.
What other bars and taverns in Columbus should be on my list?




Looks like you covered the big ones. If I ever need to come to Columbus, I’ll know where to start and end my weekend bender.
