Going to be in Columbus for one night and one night only - tomorrow, Wednesday, July 22. Anyone know of a good place to drink a beer, listen to music, girls-you know, all the good things in life.

Not sure, don't take this the wrong way, because I am not a hater, but I heard Columbus, OH is the new 'best place to live' for Gays.

A lot of people I know from Pittsburgh have moved there.

sound to me like Jax is homophobic a-hole. i will keep make sure not to invite him to any of my parties.
i haven't lived there for couple of years but here is what i recommend
- i would try dick's den - great jazz
- st. james tavern- cheap beer cool crowd
- anywere in the arena discrict and short north
- the newport is okay
- bernies underground is better and a total dive
- Larry's for the educated art crowd plus another total diveenjoy!

I was just in Columbus last weekend. Great place to party..etc. Yes, there are a ton of gay people there, but who cares? The Short North (area on High St. between OSU and downtown, near the Nationwide Arena) has a bunch of bars and art galleries with very nice ladies. The Press Grill is one I especially remember. Also, I hear that some place called Global is a nice night club.
The Newport may have some good shows if you check on them. That is in the heart of OSU campus on High Street. Kind of a ghetto area, and fileld with college kids, but fun nonetheless. All depends on what you're into!
People in Columbus are very friendly from my experience, so feel free to ask people when you get there.
Have fun!

yeah, uhh, ok exactly why I said I wasn't a hater and that the place is becoming a mecca for gays on the east coast, ok sorry maybe I should have said homosexual. pfft, no I am clearly not homophobic man.

DONT COME HERE!
(just kidding...)I agree with Automatic...(mostly)
- dick's den (My favorite bar..neighborhood dive, cheap, Jazz)
- st. james tavern (cool bar, crappy neighborhood, good beer selection, excellent Jukebox, cool crowd)
- anywere in the arena discrict and short north...
(avoid, only if you are into Abercrombie and Fitch...I think you get the picture)- bernies ("Punk" shithole, used to be a landmark for punk/indie-- just pee on the floor and don't touch anything, you'll be alright...)
- Larry's- cool, cool jukebox, occassionally hipper-than-thou, second or third fav. bar)
M. Ward is at Littlebrothers if you are into Tom Waits-y indie stuff

Jaz will be crying in his panties when the Browns kick the Steelers ass this year...

littlebrothers is good! forgot about that place. i remember it
as stashes.i used kids records still around?
great for used cd and records.yes the short north and arena disctrict can be full of A&F meat heads and mall-hair girls.
but would suggest Union Station of the Eagle for Jaz. or if your into leather honey it's the Pugged Nickel.*Wink, Wink Sugar*
- jawbreaker20
Used Kids is still around, It's now in the space formerly occupied by "World Record" (after the basement location burned in a fire)
Staches==good times
The New Bomb Turks, Gaunt, Scrawl, etc... the good old days...
- automaticiam0
cool. used kids rocks. yes stashes was classic, now just a pathetic strip center. so columbus, really. nothing great ever last there. fire exit is another example.
yes! the new bomb turks - scrawl! so good. tim easton seems to be on his way to making it. i have had many drinks with marcy from scrawl, what an amazing person!
i miss the cheap rent and the $1.50 beers at the round bar - before the fancy remodel of course.
- JazX0
yep I am heading straight there, Colombus, Ohio the new Gay Capital, werd!

Are you trying to test my masculinity with the football stuff? Man please don't make me laugh about the Cleveland Clowns, how many years have you lost that series? Including last year when we knocked your ass out of the playoffs with a damaged XFLer T. Maddox, who is a subpar QB at best. Butch Davis has to go, you will not win with him there.
- automaticiam0
wow nothing like a tight end talking football! work it mary.

hassling Steelers fans makes life worth living...

Jaz, If you're ever in town, I'll buy ya a beer...
