Welcome to THE COLUMBUS

BAR GUIDE [2012]

aise your glasses, Ohio drinkers! According to the Department of Commerce, Division of Liquor control, sales of spirituous liquor (any alcoholic beverage that contains more than 21 percent alcohol by volume) reached $793.7 million in 2011—$40 million more than the previous record set in 2010. In sheer volume, Ohioans drank 11.4 million gallons—exceeding last year’s total by nearly 4 percent. That means 2011 was the biggest drinking year in Ohio’s history—at least since the powers that be started keeping records on yearly totals. Since liquor tax revenues support a variety of state services, each bar-hopper has done his or her small part to stimulate the economy. What’s more, every time you walk into your favorite live music hall or dance club, tapas bar or dive pub, you help to keep Columbus’s service industry thriving. Last year, retail sales (booze purchased at a restaurant, club or bar) surged 4.7 percent after experiencing a slump for the last four years. That means you’re also doing your part to keep the doors of Central Ohio bars open. Give it up to local bar owners and operators. It’s been a wild ride for everyone, especially those serving the drinks when budgets are tight. But for each of the legendary Columbus bars lost since TOP’s last Bar Guide, there have been new favorites gained. So here’s to the men and women who keep Columbus nightlife ﬂowing. Oh, and thanks for keeping Columbus interesting. Find your old haunts and new favorites inside, for every side of town.

Please keep in mind... All information in this guide was supplied by bars or compiled from websites. A listing does not necessarily imply endorsement from The Other Paper. The bar business can be unpredictable at times—call ahead to be certain of kitchen and bar operating hours and specials.
