Land-Grant Brewing Company
A proudly Columbus craft brewery in the up-and-coming Franklinton neighborhood, Land-Grant's spacious taproom and patio are a favorite gathering point for Crew and Blue Jackets fans. Their Stiff-Arm IPA and Glory American Lager are local staples. The brewery frequently hosts watch parties and collaborates with Columbus sports teams on limited-edition releases.
Pins Mechanical Company
Retro entertainment bar in the Short North with duckpin bowling, pinball, and craft cocktails. Ohio State Buckeyes fans extend the game-day party here with competitive fun and a lively social atmosphere after matches at the Horseshoe.
Seventh Son Brewing
An Italian Village craft brewery that helped launch Columbus's now-thriving beer scene, known for its Humulus Nimbus super pale ale and welcoming taproom. Buckeye fans make it a pre-game ritual on Ohio State football Saturdays, just a short ride from the Horseshoe on High Street.
Seventh Son Brewing Co.
Seventh Son Brewing in the Short North is Columbus' most celebrated independent craft brewery — a taproom where Ohio State Buckeyes fans and Blue Jackets hockey supporters coexist peacefully over some of Ohio's finest hop-forward ales. The Short North location puts it squarely in the heart of Columbus' fan cultural district, and on OSU home football Saturdays the patio and taproom become a beergarden overflow of scarlet-and-gray. The seasonal releases — especially the winter dark ales — have built a following across the Midwest.
