Short North music venue and restaurant changes name, adds arcade space and new bar concept

Standard Hall and Standard Live have become Standard Complex.

The popular Short North spots for live music and food have undergone a name change, and they’ve also seen the addition of an arcade, plus a new upscale venue and bar.

According to One Hospitality Group Executive Director Justin Kintz, last month the indoor space linking the concepts in Standard Complex were converted to a new space that features a variety of games and additional fun touches.

“We’ve always had that space, but it was just a walkthrough before,” Kintz said. “We wanted to give it its own energy, with shuffleboard, a dart board and Whiteclaw Claw machine.”

Additionally, Standard Complex also includes the recently-opened Standard Annex, an upscale music venue and bar. Located in a former cigar shop connected to Standard Complex on the 1100 block of N. High Street, Standard Annex previously served as a semi-private space, but was opened fully to the public several weeks ago.
