Great menu and eclectic decor

The menu at Union Bar + Food is wonderful and very diverse. The prices are very reasonable (I didn't think it was terrible like other reviewers.) The decor is awesome with some of the neatest and obscure music videos I have ever seen. I recommend you visit this great establishment before a long night of hedonism. Plus, the waiters are cute.

Unassuming and delightful...

The Tremont is a wonderful place! It is the stereotypical neighborhood bar - no frills, themes, or pretentions. It has the best happy hour in the city. The staff and patrons are friendly and accessible. It is, however, very small and dark, but in most ways only adds to its charm. The only drawback I had was the lack of parking.

A bit stuffy...

If your scene is more refined and worldly, then Club Diversity may be a good fit with you. The environment is very arts oriented - live music, theatre, film, etc. The patrons are professional and older, and from the point of view of an outsider, snobby and exclusive. However, the staff is very friendly and accomodating. If you are looking for excitement or are a stranger in town, I don't suggest you visit.

Great neighborhood bar off the beaten path.

AWOL is located a little off the beaten path when compared with the location of most of the other bars in Columbus. It has a neighborhood bar environment and is not terribly crowded. Well-decorated and clean, the patrons are friendly and the smoking patio is among the nicest of the local bars. The only negative aspect about my visit was the somewhat cold attitude of the staff. If you are looking for a nice place to have a drink before going to the busier dance bars or looking for someone special, AWOL is a good choice.
