This classic campus bar was named of ‘USA Today’s’ list of the country’s 29 best bars

If you are or recently were an Ohio State Student, it’s almost a lock you’ve patronized, or at least visited, the popular campus watering hole Threes Above High. And while it’s a Columbus staple, the bar has just received some serious national recognition.

Today, USA Today named Threes as one of the 29 best bars in the country in its annual list.

You can see the full list, which contains everything from dive bars to swanky spots and speakeasies, here.

Here’s what the USA Today feature said about the Campus hotspot:

The off-campus area around Ohio State University has changed dramatically over the past decade. Modern high-rise apartment buildings and national retail and restaurant chains have replaced the old, quirky (and cheap!) local places that were a common thread in the memories of generations of college students at one of the nation’s largest universities. Threes Above High is a survivor, though, along the High Street corridor that runs through Columbus’ University District. When the wrecking ball came in 2017 for its predecessor, an equally divey place called Too’s Spirits Under High, owner Scott Ellsworth opened Threes Above High a few blocks north. And not that anyone’s counting, but he has since opened Fours on High and Fives Up High, too.
