This is one of the best local theatres in the Columbus area. My son and I started coming here…read moreregularly several years ago after we were blown away by their production of The Addams Family Musical. Prior to the performance, I had asked several locals about the theatre and was simply told that it was small, hence the name. Thank you, Captain Obvious. So, with not much to go on, my expectations were pretty low. Even so, the ticketing system for this theatre is ridiculously antiquated. To reserve a seat, you have to leave a message on their answering machine. Make sure you have lots of time on your hands when doing so because you will have to sit through a greeting that goes on forever with no way to bypass it. If there is a way, please let me know how. The message will ask you to leave your information and that your call will ONLY be returned if there is a problem with your reservation. I am the type of person who wants confirmation of my reservation. Because this theatre is a good 45 minute drive from my house, I want to feel confident that my reservation is in good order. Not surprisingly, since coming here my reservations have been botched twice. Once, I left my message several days in advance, but It was never received. Last week, my message was received, but my seats were given away to someone else who also (supposedly) had my (very uncommon) last name. Highly unlikely, in my opinion. In both instances, we were accommodated with seats, but I would have been upset had we been turned away. Aside from that hassle, we adore this theatre. Yes it is small and seats less than 100, BUT the productions are spectacular! I was amazed at how much they could do on such a small stage. Choreographed dance numbers, intricate sets, top notch voices and reasonable ticket/concession prices make this historic theatre an absolute treasure in Grove City. I have not seen a bad production yet and I highly recommend the musicals. Tons and tons of talent and not a bad seat in the house!

This theater is right in the middle of the University District and they always have interesting…read moremovies playing, other than just the newest releases. For our visit, they were showing the silent version of The Phantom of the Opera with a live orchestra. This was our first visit to this theater so we got there early to look around. There is a convenient parking garage located directly behind the theater and if you remember to ask, they will validate your parking ticket for $2.00 (we did not remember to do this so we paid $11.50 for three hours!!). They were showing this film on Halloween night, which was also a Friday night, so the University District was hopping! It was fun to walk around and see all of the costumes and various parties going on before heading into see our movie. Since this was a special showing it cost us around $55.00 for our tickets, but we ordered them in advance and were able to pick the seats we wanted. They allowed everyone inside the theater 15 minutes early, so there was quite a long line waiting once we were near the theater door. We saw others carrying soda and popcorn, but couldn't figure out where the concessions stand was! We were barely able to figure out where to find the bathrooms, so we gave up on the popcorn once the door opened for the movie. Once the door was opened, we went in and found our seats. Very comfy seats!!! We sat in the fifth row, so the screen was higher than our seats, but oh so cozy. The show was fantastic, the live orchestra did a smashing job! Very enjoyable visit!!

It was busy on the street prior to doors opening but we got through security quickly. I wish that they had streamlined the lobby area more because we had to wait for every group to be led to their seats. This caused a major backup in the small lobby and it was difficult to get around. Once we got to our seats we were able to clearly see the stage and enjoy the view. The seats were vintage and comfy enough. The gold accents everywhere were beautifully classic. Getting down to the bathrooms was a bit challenging with all of the stairs, and the women's restroom had openings on both sides so it was difficult to tell who was next in line. There was a small medical emergency during the show and the staff handled the entire situation swiftly, calmly, and safely. I was very impressed with this theater and can't wait to come back to see another show!

I really like this place along with all the people that own and are volunteering here, the only few…read morethings I would change are as follows: There is no air flow, the room is extremely HOT and with no AC, and than it gets crammed full of people, but during the cold season it is great inside. Granite AC is VERY expensive, and to fill up a high ceiling brick building will be even more expensive. The bands that play inside are local musicians, sharing their talents through performance art. With the wide variety of music that comes through their it is bound you will find someone you can enjoy. Now on occasion it can be to loud to talk or even hear yourself in their. Besides that, the people are cool that work and keep this place up and running. The artist that are there are talented and fun as well. I am a local artist there that has my art hung up sometimes and sells my clothing in the front room for gallery hop. For the location and the fact that this is a legit gallery the hanging fees and commission are fair. Each month is different, and you can not control the weather or how the economy is. It is hard to sell at galleries in general because of restricted hours usually. I wish there was a way to better view the art that is hung closer to the ceiling. Sometimes the detail of some ones art is missed out because of were it is paced. With such tall walls and so many artist wanting to hang up their art it makes it challenging, almost like a giant game of tetris. There is a wide variety of art/artist to choose from inside and outside of 83 gallery, so what ever you are into I am sure you will find it in there. The art in there has a wide spread of quality and talent as well. So check out 83 Gallery and support a LOCAL ARTIST!

Forum is a relatively new-to-me venue in Columbus. I've been twice, both for music. One was for a…read morehouse show and the other was for a monthly R&B night with local DJs. Both times, I had a great time! The entrance is in the ally and when you walk through the doors the space looks much bigger than it does from outside. Right away you see a giant dance floor, and that there are two levels. There's a bar on the balcony and downstairs. Both have been easy to access and the bartenders were quick to serve. The music was on point during both of my visits as well. I really liked that I could go from being in the middle of the dance floor to chilling on the balcony overlooking the show from giant comfy chairs. I definitely know I'll be back for the monthly R&B night (HIPS) and I'll keep an eye out for other artists.

There is an elevated DJ booth with visuals projected on a back wall, an ample dance floor, and a bar downstairs.

I didn't drink while I was there during this day time event so I can't confirm how they are or how it feels for a show at night, but I really enjoyed my visit and I would definitely come back.

We were attending a 12:45 movie, and the doors didn't open until 12:15. I'm not sure if Sundays always follow the 30-minutes-before-showtime rule, but it's worth noting. The bar area is spacious and open anytime. The theater itself was on the smaller side but still plenty roomy, with very comfortable chairs. Each seat has a narrow table in front for food and drinks, which was a nice touch. The surround sound system was solid. Parking is mostly located behind the building and can be pricey when enforcement is in effect. Unfortunately, the theater can't assist with parking since it's not their lot. The bartender was fantastic--very friendly, explained where the theater was, how ordering works, and answered all of our questions since it was our first time there. We ordered pizza, which came out quickly and was delicious. We tried the Elephant and the Hot Swarm--both excellent. They offer 40 beers on tap, along with cider, wine, and hard liquor. There are also board games scattered throughout the space. I'll definitely be back.

Beer, popcorn, candy and even pizza. I bought a tall beer and popcorn and did not have to mortgage the house. It was $17. Water was free. Thank you! We walked into the theater and they have tables setup so you can sit at and put your drinks and snacks on the table instead of having to hold them on your lap. What a great great idea! The couple a few spaces from us had a large pizza in front of them. The chairs were extremely comfortable and it was the perfect getaway date night.
