A new spin on an old favorite: Confluence Park
By Kelly Brooks, Events/Marketing Coordinator
Confluence Park Restaurant
While Confluence Park Restaurant may be widely known for it’s stunning, waterfront view of the downtown Columbus skyline, it may soon be known for much more.
After closing for winter on Dec. 26, Confluence Park did an overhaul of the facility, the menu and the events calendar. Their new upscale look and feel will be revealed on Friday, April 17 at a Grand Reopening. Confluence Park will host a free open house from 7-9 p.m. to showcase the new menu and the facility’s vendors. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres, DJ music, ice sculptures, cake displays and a cash bar will round out the night.
Beginning April 18, the Confluence Park Restaurant is officially open for business. While new offerings such as Sautéed Sea Scallops and Crab Cake Benedict are sure to be delicious, I am most excited about the event lineup for 2009.
One of the first events to experience will be the “Wasted in Margaritaville” Murder Mystery Dinner Theater on Saturday, May 16. This interactive production (a flashback to the board game favorite, Clue) will allow guests to guess whodunit based upon clues in a three-act show. For only $45 (includes entertainment, dinner, tax and tip) this is an affordable way to break from the dinner-and-a-movie tradition.
Dinner theater not your thing? No problem. Check out any of these other upcoming events:
- A La Carte Brunch– Every Sunday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
- Friday Entertainment on Patio– Weekly, 5-9 p.m.
- Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch– May 10, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
- Kick-Off BBQ in the Park– May 31
- Pig Roast on Patio– July 10

I think this ‘redo’ of Confluence Park is WAAAYYY overdue! I used to have meetings there and hopefully they’ve brought CP up to date! I am going there in August for an event. It will be interesting to see what they did!

I am glad to hear this got a makeover. I plan to check out the Friday night entertainment. It is such a great view and kind of a special area with the joining of the 2 rivers. Patio here I come.

My first visit to Columbus after we knew we knew we were moving here we ate at the Confluence Park Restaurant (long ago different management.) We went around in circles trying to find it but it was all worth it for the view. I have been back a lot of times, mostly for the view.
