From frozen margs at Local Cantina Creekside to a refreshing beer from Nostalgia Brewing Co., the adult beverages can even be taken into Creekside Park within the designated CORA area. Plus, in the warmer months, enjoy live music and events happening every week in the Creekside District.

Why did you select Gahanna to open your business? I did not choose Gahanna. Gahanna chose me. I was looking for a location in East Columbus when Victor Ecimovich, Head Brewer at Edison Brewing Company, called me about the Kindred space being available and invited us to be his neighbor What are some of the ways you identify with the Gahanna community? I identify with the Gahanna community because I grew up here. My Nana and Papa moved here while I was in middle school. I spent my summer nights playing basketball at Academy Park. What is one thing about Gahanna that people might not realize? It seems to me that a lot of people do not realize how big of a melting pot Gahanna is culturally. Even when I was in high school. Sure, there weren’t many other Black students, but there were a lot of other races, religions and cultures walking those halls. What is one thing about Gahanna that people might not realize? One of the best-kept secrets in the Gahanna community is the number of Black-owned businesses in the area. Not just us, but there’s Stadium, Upper Cup, SuperChef’s, Ice Cream Rollery, The Nail Spa, and I know they just moved to Westerville but Just My Style was one of my favorite places to get shoes. Why do you love Gahanna? I love Gahanna because it’s more like a person than a city. I have watched it grow. I have seen it fail and succeed. It’s constantly evolving. When I was away, it took care of my family and many of my friends too. Where is your favorite place to go in Gahanna? My favorite place to visit is a tie between Nana’s house and Crafted Culture Brewing. Both places feel like family when I walk in.
