Bachelor: Guys Weekend

Columbus offers a vibrant mix of arts and culture, great live music and craft beer scenes and exciting collegiate and professional sports.

Here is just a sampling of what Ohio’s capital city has in store for your guys weekend.

Day One

Late Afternoon | Check in at Hilton Columbus Downtown which puts you just steps from Barley’s Brewing Company, one of the many stops on the Columbus Ale Trail, and has Brewcadia, a game bar, upstairs.

Dinner | Head out for dinner and drinks at Smoked on High, a top-notch barbeque restaurant located in the historic Brewery District just south of downtown.

Spend your evening bar hopping in Grandview Heights or German Village where you can find a wide array of nightlife.

Day Two

Late Morning | Grab brunch at Standard Hall, an industrial-chic spot offering American classics and an extensive build-your-own Bloody Mary bar.

Afternoon | Head out on a brewery tour with Columbus Food Adventures or take a distillery tour at Watershed Distillery, whose whiskey was ranked one of the top 50 in the world by Men’s Journal.

Need a break from drinking? Go paintballing at LVL UP Sports, axe throwing at Columbus Axe Throwing or test your golf swing at TopGolf. During the warmer months, you can also soar through treetops at ZipZone Outdoor Adventures. 

Evening | Check out Columbus’ home teams (varying by season) — Columbus Clippers, Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets or MLS’ Columbus Crew SC. If you’re not into sports, head to the Funny Bone Comedy Club for a show or shoot some dice at Hollywood Casino Columbus or Eldorado Scioto Downs.

Day Three

Before heading home, stop in the North Market for a quick bite, then discover the charm and history of Columbus on a SegAway Tour.
