For our money, get a Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail for $5, the Braised & Blue pizza featuring BBQ Brisket, Cambozola, and Carmelized Onions, and finish it with a warm chocolate chip cookie for $1!

Everything is beautiful at Forno, including the people, the ambiance, and the food and drinks. Monday-Friday from 4-6 PM Enjoy half-off an extensive happy hour menu, including cocktails, bar snacks, shared items, and pizzas (cooked in their stone-fired oven)!
Everything is good so we recommend going hungry and getting a ton of items for the table. Ahi Tuna Tacos in Wonton Shells are sublime, and you have to try the Crispy Rice; fried risotto, spicy ahi tuna, sweet soy, jalapeno, and pickled ginger. Don’t forget a Forno Chicken Pizza (Roasted Red Pepper Coulis, Mozz, Asparagus, Red Onion, Goat Cheese) to share.
Get a Spicy Cucumber Margarita or a Berry Burst (Belvedere Blackberry & Lemongrass, Lemon juice, Simple Syrup, Muddled Blueberries, Lemon & Lime Soda, Mini Starbursts) for $6 during happy hour!

A true tavern in every sense, you’re guaranteed a satisfying bite and a good time at Arch City. Happy Hour runs 3-6 PM Monday-Friday and the offerings are sure to please.
Enjoy half-off drafts, $4 wells, and $6 wines. In our opinion though, the food is where it’s at. Southwest Spring Rolls are delightful (as are Bratwurst Corn Dogs) at only $6, Pork Slider at $8, and Pizzas for $9. You won’t leave hungry!

Pint House is something special. If you’re a beer connoisseur, this is the place you’ve been looking for. Happy Hour is live 3-6 PM Monday-Friday with $3 domestics and $6 craft and import drafts. The Half-Priced Apps and Pizzas always hit the spot while you enjoy the vibes of this Biergarten with a retractable roof just minutes from campus. There’s also a full liquor bar for those unimpressed with ales and lagers.

High Bank has won Best Cocktails in Columbus for four years running, so you know you’re in the right place for something fancy. Keeping with the theme, Happy Hour runs from 3-6 PM Monday through Friday. Enjoy half-off cocktails and spirits and $2 off all shareables. Beer and Wine are discounted by $1, but you want a cocktail. For our money, you want an “Apri-Caught You Lookin’ – high bank vodka, apricot-mint reduction, lime. If you’re feeling particularly fashionable, get a Seasonal Espresso Martini with flavors that are constantly changing. Get the Bison Potstickers (sesame-seasoned bison, cucumber-mint slaw, mango-Thai chili sauce) or the Crispy Brussels!
