MAKERS SPACE: OHIO VALLEY BARN SALVAGE
from 614 December 2021
Interior of The Daily Bar ↑
Also the owner of the popular craft beer haven The Daily Growler, Blakely is letting his hair down at The Daily Bar.
“The Daily Growler is a family business and established brand; that isn't always the right place for my eccentricities and my love of vintage and my tendency toward non sequiturs,” he said.
These eccentricities are most apparent in what Blakely refers to as the bar’s “wall of denim.” This several-foot width of wall is coated in seemingly endless layers of the fabric, torn into strips and roughly patched back together.

While the new Italian Village bar, which opened early last month, is a spot for everyone (not just Blakely) to let their weird flags fly, it might also just become your new favorite spot to grab a drink.
With Columbus craft beer veteran Ryan Williams serving as manager, the bar offers a lengthy cocktail and wine menu, plus more than 40 taps serving up a rotating selection of craft beer, cider, and seltzer. Patrons can even expect to find more unusual offerings like spritzes, and what Blakely deems “the best port menu in Columbus.”
Port, a type of sweet, fortified wine from Portugal doesn’t usually top most drinkers’ lists. But true to form, Blakely goes in on what he loves, offering between six and eight port options to pick from at any given time.
And when he describes his fondness for the often overlooked drink—with excitement written clearly across his face—you might think for a second he’s describing The Daily Bar, or maybe even himself.
“It’s a wonderful and complex drink,” Blakely said. “With a little pomp and circumstance.”
