The summer issue of ‘Refined’ dives into some of the coolest, exclusive clubs in Columbus

During a photoshoot at the historic Columbus Country Club for the cover of this magazine, we had the unique pleasure of browsing through a 1942 issue of Life Magazine. Most of its pages focused on the global events of the time, filled with news from World War II and practical advice for navigating life during that era. But then, a delightful surprise: four full pages devoted to summer fun at the Columbus Country Club, complete with jubilant, black & white photos of Columbus residents dancing on the terrace, lounging by the pool, and enjoying a Sunday dinner together.

Even in uncertain times, the people of Columbus found joy, connection, and moments of peace, together. And decades later, we still are.

In this issue, we celebrate the clubs, people, and places that keep our community connected—a private cocktail club serving some of the most sought-after spirits around, a local barbershop with billiards and Cameron Mitchell drinks, our very own Chanel reseller here in town, Chef Avishar Barua and his award-winning restaurant Agni, Columbus’ first indoor golf club, and much more. Did we mention there’s even a yacht club here in Central Ohio? You’ll have to read it to believe it.
