Ray Ray’s Hog Pit, Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace and Blackened Coffee Co.

These are the three Columbus concepts joining forces inside Ace of Cups, the popular bar known and dance party spot that’s located at 2619 N. High St.

According to Ace of Cups owner Conor Stratton, Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace and Blackened Coffee Co. both plan to open inside the Old North bar. They will join Ray Ray’s Hog Pit, the legendary Columbus BBQ spot which already operates a food truck at Ace of Cups.

The new additions are slated to open this summer, although an exact date wasn’t named.

According to Stratton, Ray Ray’s will continue to serve from its on-site food truck, while Dirty Frank’s will be located adjacent to the bar’s “living room” space, in a kitchen the eatery is renovating.

Dirty Frank’s owner Miriam Ailabouni told 614Now the collaboration between the three Columbus brands is “truly special.”

Blackened Coffee Co., a pop-up coffee shop serving indulgent breakfast fare and more, will take over Ace of Cup’s patio window space, which served as a former drive-thru window). The Old North bar will be their first brick and mortar home.

“The most enticing piece of this endeavor was when we were considering ways we could expand upon our offerings and how we utilize the space was the ability to unite multiple Columbus businesses under our roof in the Old North,” Stratton said. “We firmly believe in local businesses and strength in numbers.”
