Star musician opening country-themed Short North entertainment venue and bar

Jack McLaughlin

A little bit of country is heading to Columbus.

Specifically, to the Short North.

Chase Rice, a multi-platinum country artist with sold out international tours and over 3 billion streams to his credit, is welcoming us to his farm. In partnership with Forward Hospitality Group, Welcome to the Farm, a new entertainment venue, is coming to 906 N. High St., taking over the ground floor beneath Good Night John Boy. The concept operates its original location in Cleveland.

Welcome to the Farm (WTF) will boast a rotating lineup of country music-centric DJs, live music, a patio, and an extensive bourbon and whiskey program, plus signature cocktails, and of course, a lively spot to watch the Buckeyes do their thing this fall.

“My dad grew up just outside Columbus in Grove City, so this has always been one of those places I’ve loved coming back to,” shared Rice in a press release. “Bringing The Farm to Short North just feels right, and I can’t wait for everybody to come hang with us this summer.”

Welcome to the Farm opens this August. Stay tuned for an exact opening date. In the meantime, brush off that cowboy hat and those boots.
