The Summit , next to cafe bobo, has a little black metal fence and non assuming entrance . The inside transform into a dive bar complete with missing ceiling tiles, extension cords and power strips hanging from above and box fans for a.c.. Some bars would at least try to pretend they are not a dive bar but The Summit uses this as its aesthetic. They own it and own it well. Where at say other bars you might be assured by the smell of urine or cigar smoke The Summitts dive atmosphere is for show. To make you feel at home in Columbus without the uneasy feeling if possibly contracting an infectious disease. Its like a haunted house for drinkers, a little scary but just for fun. The food from the kitchen looked and smelled delicious and was without the usual grimey spoon or possible cockroach. The beer selection although limited was still better than warm PBRs and Budweiser. The staff was surprisingly friendly and the bartender was on point the entire time . Never once was I found waiting past the five minute mark that makes you question should you tip them or not . The sound for the local bands was extremely good, especially for a dive bar or even most of the bars in town that try to pretend they are not a dive bar. The sound guys deserve props , and the acts like Nerd Table, Odd Vocado, and Church Camp really got to rock out on a stage that seems a little small but provided an intimate even if loud performance. Like having a band in your man cave .

In a city with tons of dive bars, Cafe Bourbon Street is quite possibly the king. This place is dirty, dark, and positively wonderful. You can drink for way cheap all night (PBR tallboys recommended) and hear good local music. Parking is generally fairly easy as street parking is plentiful along Summit and the side-streets. There is also a kitchen that serves food, presently a positively delightful pierogi place called Pierogi Mountain inside that serves great food.

A quintessential dive bar. Dark, damp, and dirty. $1.00 Strohs, $2.00 PBRs, cheap whisky. Loud punk, rock, and metal bands. Excellent times. Parking is a real pain being so near OSU campus. I wouldnt drive anyway, since the drinks are so cheap.

The best dive bar in Columbus. Good people, cheap drinks, shows of almost any genre most nights of the week, and Pierogi Mountain in the kitchen serving incredible pierogi and other excellent food ($1 taco Mondays too).

Cheap drinks, and always a good show on. Pierogi Mountain has some of the best pierogi in Columbus. Tons of vegan options, all of them delicious!

Its a dive and I love it. If you are frightened of colorful folks, punk improv and broken toilets, Applebees is probably more your speed.

Vegan and vegetarian options were cool. Had some perogies. Very satisfying. Music scene was bumping. Will return for sure.

First time eating there, food was different but really good. Small fries could have fed four people. Great experience

Solid dive bar - good for some lo-fi music watching, and the pierogis from the pierogi stand in the bar are great!
