The article said “Hidden in a nondescript basement in Columbus’ bustling Short North Arts District, Ginger Rabbit transports you to another time with its low lighting and plush velvet settees. The cocktail and jazz lounge opened in April 2022 and throws off serious La La Land vibes (remember that last scene?). At Ginger Rabbit, there’s nightly live jazz, sinful cocktails and a decadent menu featuring dishes like lobster roll sliders and house-made gravlax.”

Ginger Rabbit is open Tuesday-Saturday with live jazz every night. Walk-ins are welcome but tickets go fast, we recommend reserving them ahead of time.
