Bristol Bar

- Price range: $ (Under $9)
A piece of New York City in one of Columbus' transitional neighborhoods, Bristol pulls in a diverse crowd with its specialty drinks, talented DJs, and a popular happy hour that boasts $3 martinis. The simply chic hangout in a historic structure features hardwood floors, walls, and even a wooden sink. The owners designed the floorplan, built the furniture, and created the bar's signature wall that divides the bar and lounge area. The bar stands alone in its atnmopshere and environment, but it's grown in popularity over the years thanks to "Saturday Nights at Bristol Bar," which features guest DJs and practically mandatory dancing.

Bristol Bar serves a sharp champagne! I love the signature cocktails! The best patio in Columbus -- it's very intimate ;)
