ColDayMan Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Seventh Son Celebrates Five Years With Opening of Rooftop Patio One of Columbus’ founding breweries is celebrating its fifth birthday today, April 20. Seventh Son, an Italian Village staple known for its welcoming taproom and free-roaming and furry assistant manager, will celebrate five years today with the opening of their brand new rooftop patio. Owners Jen Burton, Travis Spencer and Collin Castore first opened Seventh Son as a bar in December, 2012. They served other local brews, but none of their own yet. Jackie O’s, Rockmill, Zauber, Hoof Hearted — all were kept on tap. April 20, 2013 is when SS’s first flagship brews were introduced to Columbus: the American Strong Ale, the Stone Fort Oat Brown Ale, The Scientist IPA and the Humulous Nimbus Strong Pale Ale.

ColDayMan Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Craft & Vinyl Opening Soon in Grandview Musicians and audiophiles will soon have a new place to congregate. Craft & Vinyl, Grandview’s new vinyl shop, recording studio and bar, will open its doors in mid-August. It’s assumed the residence of the former Alternative Resale shop at 1806 W. Fifth Ave., but it’d be unrecognizable to any former customers. The space was “a total gut job,” says owner Troy Stacy. Rebuilt from the ground up, the old shop gained new electrical work and plumbing, and it’s got about four more feet of headspace. It’s also traded in its casual and business women and menswear for cases of vinyl, each offering a few cup holders for buzzed record browsers. New vinyl is showcased on the wall, along with show posters designed by Mike Martin of local design studio Engine House 13.

ColDayMan Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 New Gaming Bar Concept Replacing World of Beer at the Gateway Gateway shoppers and diners will have a new place to “eat, play, pour and drink” later this month. The District PourHouse, featuring a made-to-order hot dog stand as well as two gaming lounges and an arcade, will replace World of Beer at 1568 N. High St. on Thursday, August 16. The new concept is a rebrand and remains under the same ownership as World of Beer. “While we loved having WOB at the Gateway, we are thrilled at ownership’s decision to re-brand to a new concept that’s more organic to the University District – even the name ties in nicely, ‘The District PourHouse,’ said Christiana Moffa Gateway Property Manager, in a statement. “The University District and the Gateway strive to have the perfect mix of value-added Ohio-based and select national tenants, as guided by to the demands of the customer base and the needs of the greater neighborhood.” More below: https://www.columbusunderground.com/new-gaming-bar-concept-replacing-world-of-beer-at-the-gateway-ls1 https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2018/08/07/here-is-what-is-replacing-world-of-beer-at-gateway.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners remain the same, but along with the new name, the beer and food menus are changing and more student friendly hands-on activities are on tap. “This gives us a bit more flexibility to tweak the business,” co-owner Mark Pottschmidt told me Wednesday morning. “This is about appealing to more students.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2018/08/08/owners-say-now-is-the-time-to-transform-campus.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColDayMan Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 New Business is Opening Soon Inside the Historic Flint Station Building The Flint Station Market in Worthington is now home to a new business that is part market, part bar, and part event space. What has been known as Flint Carry Out and Top of Flint for the past several decades will now be known as The Market at Flint Station. The almost 130-year old building is located at 225 Park Rd. Sisters-in-law LeighAnn Guagenti and Gracie Guagenti purchased the old building earlier this year. Prior to their ownership, the building had a long history in retail. Erected in the 1890s by the Crowner family, the original purpose was a community market, with the upper level being the residence for the family. Although not the original train station, its proximity to the tracks provided lots of traffic. The Crowners also owned a park across the street where travelers and customers would take their fresh market items for a picnic.

It took nearly a year, but now, the basement has been completely transformed into a fabulous and one-of-a-kind tiki bar – truly one of the most unique spaces in Columbus!

Located at 714 S. High St., the new “sour and wild” brewery is sandwiched between the Tremont Lounge and the upcoming restaurant Ambrose & Eve.

As promised when the news first broke, Antiques on High will be serving up a nearly exclusive menu of wood aged sour and wild Belgian-style beers, with the exception of some Seventh Son favorites, including the Humulus Nimbus pale ale and Black Sheep stout.

ColDayMan Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Take a tour of Seventh Son's new German Village/Brewery District bar A good sour beer takes time — so too, it seems, does a good sour beer bar. Antiques on High, the new sour-focused brewery and bar from Seventh Son Brewing Co., expects to open this week at 716 S. High St. nearly two years since it was first announced. The long timeline was somewhat anticipated. The Columbus craft brewery, after all, also had undertaken a rather large expansion of its original brewery in Italian Village. Final permits were expected this week, which would allow the space to open to the public.

ColDayMan Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Duecento Cocktail Lounge Opening in Italian Village Local entrepreneurs Andrew Losinske and Ted Lawson (Bullwinkles Night Club) are injecting a bit of Italian flair into Italian Village. They’ll open up Duecento, Italian for “two-hundred,” on the corner of East Fourth Avenue and North Fourth Street this Saturday, Feb. 2. Losinske and Lawson took over the lease at 200 E. Fourth Ave. three years ago, hoping to transform an abandoned warehouse with no plumbing or electricity into a vibrant restaurant and cocktail lounge. With 3,000 square feet to work with, they carved out a space for a large bar, a DJ station, and a line of big booths along the west wall of the building, leaving an open floor between it all. In the back is a full kitchen, and behind the building a large, enclosed patio. The process came with no shortage of “bureaucratic snafus,” preventing them from installing skylights that would allow live plants to thrive. Losinske has instead filled the place with realistic fake plants, pulpy posters, chandeliers, mood lighting, and antique accents.

In addition to reducing the number of parking spaces on the property from 79 to 7, UDS property manager Evan Fracasso says they intend to use inspiration from the original building, when it was Lindimore Motor Sales, as they develop it.

ColDayMan Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 This longtime Columbus bar is expanding, in more ways than one The owners of Zeno's, a longtime watering hole on the outskirts of Columbus' Victorian Village, are readying to break ground on a new bar, according to a post on the Zeno's Facebook page. The bar has yet to share specifics on where the new location will be or what concept visitors can expect inside. More details are expected to be released soon, according to an email from Zeno's owner Quinn Allen.

ColDayMan Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Dick’s Dive to Open Inside Zeno’s Basement Thirty-four year old Zeno’s will see a number of changes this year. The Harrison West bar will add an outdoor seating area, and a second bar will open inside of their basement event space.

ColDayMan Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 This old bank is about to become Columbus' newest 'secret' bar It was 3 a.m. when Jassen Holderby woke up and realized what to do with the old Chase branch in downtown Sunbury. "I woke up one night and just said that's what I was gonna do, I was gonna start a bar there," he said. "My wife just said, 'Go back to sleep,' but the idea stuck with me." And so it has. Holderby closed on the former Chase branch at 45 E. Granville St. last Wednesday, although the purchase has not yet been registered on the county auditor's website. Holderby believes the 4,200-square-foot old bank has a good vibe for his new cocktail bar and event venue, District 13. It's a return to the restaurant industry for Holderby, who in a past life worked in bars but today owns J. Holderby Renovations Design & Construction Services, a remodeling contractor for high-end homes.

ColDayMan Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 The Music Room Brings Nashville Style Performances to Central Ohio In January 2019, The Music Room officially opened above The Market at Flint Station in Worthington. When The Market opened last October and owners LeighAnn Guagenti and Gracie Guagenti held a grand opening celebration for the space, Rich Sharick had a look at the space for the first time. He had been wanting to see a place in Columbus where he can simply sit and listen to acoustic music, uninterrupted, on the weekends. While Sharick has experience running businesses and events, including starting and running the Dublin Art Festival in the 2000s, he has no background in the music business; he describes himself simply as a music “super fan.” More below: https://www.columbusunderground.com/the-music-room-brings-nashville-style-performances-to-central-ohio-tm1 "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColDayMan Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Dublin is getting a new wine option this summer At Coast Wine House, the emphasis will be on the house. “We see this as an extension of our home,” owner Dustin Snow said. “We don’t want this to feel like a wine shop. We want it to feel like you’re at our house and you’re sharing a glass of wine with us.” What better way to drive that point home than to set up shop in a former home? Coast expects to open in late summer at 75 S. High St. in Dublin. The space is a historic home built in the 1880s that was a residence for more than 100 years. It has been a retail space for the past few decades, most recently as Ha’penny Bridge Imports of Ireland.

ColDayMan Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 See the indoor roller coaster, laser tag arena and more starting to take shape inside Scene 75 Piece by piece, the old Macy's at Tuttle Crossing is disappearing. Much of the marble flooring and showroom lighting is going away and making room for blacklights, arcade games and some pretty hefty indoor attractions. For the first time, Scene 75 is giving a peek behind the work in progress. Dayton-based entertainment company Scene 75 bought the former Macy’s at the Mall at Tuttle Crossing for $3 million. The company has put in $15 million to transform the two-floor, 225,000-square-foot space into a family entertainment center that will be one of the largest in the United States.

ColDayMan Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 First Look: Dick’s Dive Don’t expect smoked cocktails or the latest craft beer at Dick’s Dive. Instead there’s “beers your dad would drink,” mismatched chairs, zero clocks and zero windows. It’s the kind of place where you could easily loose track of time, just as Owner Quinn Allen intended. The bar is a tribute to Allen’s late father. The patriarch’s decades of bar ownership are memorialized on the walls and behind the bar at Dick’s Dive, representing a collection of neon signs and booze relics found in Allen’s parents’ garage and basement. The bar is situated below Harrison West neighborhood mainstay Zeno’s at 384 W. Third Ave. And Allen says for those that think Zeno’s is a dive, Dick’s Dive is an even “divey-er dive.” More below: https://www.columbusunderground.com/first-look-dicks-dive-sp1 1 "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColDayMan Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Pan Am Layover Lounge popup coming to Franklinton, celebrating 'golden age of aviation' A Cincinnati operator of concept bars brought the golden age of aviation to its Tokyo Kitty karaoke bar this year, and the partnership with one of the biggest names in travel went so well that the creative hospitality company is expanding the popup to Columbus. Gorilla Cinema, the company behind the Overlook Lodge, Lonely Pine Steakhouse, Video Archive and Tokyo Kitty, last month partnered with Pan Am Brands to host the Pan Am Layover Lounge as a limited-time popup. It transformed Tokyo Kitty into an airline terminal from aviation's golden age and a layover lounge in an exotic locale served by Pan Am during its heyday. The experience was ticketed – and sold out within 72 hours. The goal was always to expand the experience if the pilot – pun intended – went well, and it did.
