Char bar looks sweet from the outside, which was ultimately what brought us in, and it was right next to the helpton where we stayed. it's easy.

This is THE place to drink in downtown Columbus. We visit everytime we go. Me and the Mrs get completely sh!t faced and are hard pressed to spend more than $20-$25. The whiskey is poured to near the rim of the glass and the mixed drinks are not shy on spirits. This one is an A+ for a night out drinking and bullsh!ting with folk.

Stick to the inside where the atmosphere is cool. Patio has a dumpster really close so it smells.

Love Char Bar. My buddies and I go once a month for a Long Island night. Can hang with the ghosts in the basement.
