Our name gives a nod to the rich history of Columbus and one of it’s most famous nicknames, “The Arch City”. Dozens of wooden arches spanned High Street at the turn of the 20th century, illuminating the thoroughfare and showcasing the vibrancy of Ohio’s capital city.
Located in the thriving Short North Arts District, Arch City Tavern offers a glimpse into the magnificent history of Columbus, serving up fresh, locally-sourced gourmet food and craft beer in a casual setting of exposed brick and finished wood. Our neighborhood guests and friendly staff offer a relaxed, upscale atmosphere beneath a twenty foot pencil mural of Old Columbus and her famous Arches. Our popular local cocktails and diverse American menu promise to give you an authentic taste of Columbus. Rated as one of the best bar food restaurants with the best happy hour prices in town, we invite you to get a taste of Arch City’s best.
