We ain’t no stink’n sports bar, but we sure do love our Buckeyes. Catch the game on our big screen while slam’n some cold booze + eat’n some bomb ass pizza pie. Pro Tip / snag yourself the $2 ‘lucky shot’ after each touchdown. Come hang, Odd Babes. #OddfellowsLiquorBar #OhioState #GameDay #GoBuckeyes #DrinkUpColumbus #LifeInCbus

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

With a floor and bartop made of century-old recovered hardwood from Louisiana, you know Oddfellows is big on throwbacks.

But though their style borrows heavily from tradition and vintage accoutrements, their style is all their own.

There’s the Beerador, a cask-shaped beer refrigerator from 1916 that was one of the first beer refrigerators in existence.

The ancient, hand-carved bar was brought in from Cincinnati, and has a history all its own.

Then there’s the giant, hypnotic, perfectly round, bared boob of the larger-than-life, wooden carved bust of the lady of the night catches our eye every time (looking at the Lushie machine, we swear).

There’s so much to look at while you’re there for trivia, drunk spelling bees, or just to sip some cocktails with your fellow strange birds.

We take comfort in knowing we’re not the only weirdo there.
