About
Columbus, OH
New Years Eve Pub Crawls
Columbus closes out the year as Ohio’s most dynamic city and one of the most underrated nightlife destinations in the entire Midwest. The Short North Arts District is one of the finest bar and restaurant corridors in America and on New Years Eve it delivers a celebration that consistently surprises people who have not yet experienced what this city can do when it decides to celebrate.
Our Columbus New Years Eve Pub Crawl moves through the Short North and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality and diversity of what this neighborhood has built. Columbus has grown dramatically in bar culture sophistication over the past decade and the Short North is the most visible evidence of that transformation.
December in Columbus is cold, typically ranging from 22 to 35 degrees at night. The Short North is one of those neighborhoods where the cold seems irrelevant because the indoor warmth and energy of the venues makes the season feel right. The walk between stops on High Street is part of the Short North experience and on New Years Eve the whole corridor is alive with people who know exactly how to celebrate.
Our hosts manage the Short North route with the deep local knowledge that this beloved neighborhood deserves. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the midnight countdown happens with the Columbus energy that has made this city one of the most consistently excellent NYE destinations in Ohio.
