The accolades for Cobra just keep rolling in.

“We are so honored that Cobra has been selected for a 2026 Spirited Awards Regional Top Ten Honoree for the U.S. Central Region for both Best Bar Team and Best Restaurant Bar,” a social media post from the concept reads. “A big shout out to our staff for making this possible, and a huge thank you to the community, both in Columbus and abroad, for continuing to embrace us. We are truly grateful to share this list with so many teams we admire.”

While prestigious, the laurels are nothing new for the popular Columbus bar and restaurant, which received top 10 recognition in the same two categories of the 2025 Spirited Awards. Cobra was also named a top 4 finalist for Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar by the Spirited Awards in 2024.
