    See attached for how much fun I had.
    Brenna G.

    I came here for my friend's birthday!! It was such amazing vibes!! I wish the location was more centralized..but it was awesome. I loved the lights, the bartenders, the fun shots. I couldn't have asked for a more great night here. I didn't try the food..but I bet I will next time!!

    Cheese pizza

    I'm so glad I was finally able to give Slammers a try. I was specifically looking for pizza delivery just after midnight. They aren't too far away so it was quick and easy to order. I ordered a medium cheese pizza, plain and simple, and it arrived within about 40 minutes. This made me really happy after a late night thanks to seeing a band at Express Live. I really loved the sauce, it was a little sweet but not overwhelming. It also had the perfect amount of sauce and the crust held up nicely. It was thin, but not crunchy thin. Just a wee bit softer than that. The leftovers were delicious the next day! I am already certain that I will order here again and if I ever get the chance I'll swing by in person. If you didn't know, they are one of the remaining twenty one lesbian bars in the country. It's open all and a safe space for the LGBTQIA community. This makes me so happy and to see that they've navigated COVID and are back open, is amazing.

    Longest standing lesbian owned and operated bar in the heart of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Really chill vibes and family friendly on the weekends (brunch, pet events, etc). The crowd is diverse and chill. They have special music nights and life performances. Drinks are cheap and you can play darts or connect four. Great spot to come after dinner or to chill on the weekend in the outdoor seating area.

    Best pizza in Columbus! Service is always top notch and the place itself couldn't be better. Very welcoming and inclusive. Trivia nights are top tier and everyone there is just happy to be there and have a good time.

    My partner and I came here for a specific reason. She is vegan, and I like trying new places. We're supporters of the LGBTQ community, but that's not why we came. I wanted to try the pizza and vegan nuggets. I thought the pizza was fine, but the crust should've been thicker to support the cheese. It was kind of soggy but tasted well. She loved both the pizza and nuggets. Service was great. We didn't have any drinks, so I can't comment on the alcohol. Ended up going to Holy Trinity Brewing, which is right around the corner.

    Pepperoni Pizza with banana peppers

    My first time into Slammers. We were there for a charity event. Queens Against Cancer. The space was a lot smaller than I was picturing when they said there was a show. Thankfully we got there early and were able to get a table. We ordered drinks. Boy they pour some stiff drinks! You definitely get your money's worth there! My vodka and lemonade was yummy. We ordered food to share since we hadn't been there before. We got an Italian sub and pepperoni and banana pepper pizza. That's our go to for a pizza place when we haven't been there before. The sub was really good. The pizza was decent. Not the best I've had in Columbus (but there are SO many good pizza places around town). I don't think we would go back unless we had an event or were meeting friends there for something. But it was good. They were good hosts for the event and that's all that mattered that night.

    Lavender Spritz

    Honestly this place is the best kind of bar. Super welcoming, great cocktails, and fun weekly events. The Buffalo cauliflower bites are really good and I highly recommend the Lavender Spritz cocktail. It's as good as it sounds.

    This was my first time here and omg I had fun! It was karaoke night from 7pm-11pm and it didn't disappoint! The lady that is over the karaoke can sing baby and I loved her energy!!! I got a chance to sing a few times! The restrooms are small but that's ok! The pizza was delicious! The bartenders were friendly and nice! We kept drinking water and they gave us a pitcher and cups lol. The park king lot beside the building it's $6 but if u park along the building it's free. There's a patio and everything is really clean! I just hate all the cigarette smoke! But I can't wait to go back and enjoy myself!

    Union Café has been a Columbus staple for decades and is well known for strong drinks, brunch,…read morekaraoke, and being a welcoming LGBTQIA+ space in the Short North. It had been years since my last visit, so I was excited to come back. One thing that caught us off guard was the ordering process. We bounced between inside and the patio a couple of times trying to figure out where to check in, get menus, and place an order. Eventually we learned that orders are placed at the bar rather than through traditional table service. Once we figured it out, everything went smoothly, but it wasn't immediately obvious. For drinks, we ordered a Green Tea Shot and a Green Tea Cocktail. Both were strong, well-made, and exactly what I'd expect from Union Café. Food was more hit-or-miss. Years ago, the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla was my go-to order. This version arrived hot, cheesy, and loaded with filling, but the chicken seemed very different from what I remembered. The texture reminded me of canned chicken, and it lacked the seasoning and flavor that made the older version memorable. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the quesadilla I came back hoping for. I also ordered the half Apple Orchard Salad. It looked great and included apples, feta, candied pecans, dried cranberries, and raspberry vinaigrette. The ingredients worked together fine, but I wouldn't personally pay $6 for the half or $12 for the full again. It felt overpriced for what it delivered. The standout item was the Loaded Tots. Crispy, hot, cheesy, topped with bacon and chipotle crema, and easily the best thing we ordered. No complaints there. Overall, Union Café still shines when it comes to atmosphere, drinks, patio seating, and community presence. I just wish the food had lived up to the memories that brought me back in the first place.

    Good vibe, good music, employees are nice. My drink was good (the peach crush). I'm sad I missed…read moredrag night but I'm an out of towner so I didn't know about it but would have looooved to go. Definitely a chill spot where you don't have to worry about too much which is nice. Would totally come back if I lived closer!
