Gay Guide to Columbus
Columbus concentrates its gay nightlife in the Short North, the High Street arts district running from downtown toward Goodale Park. Axis is the multi-room dance club, with the city's longest-running gay bar, Union Cafe, and the casual Local Bar all within a short walk, plus Stonewall Columbus nearby. Columbus Pride in June is one of the largest in the Midwest, drawing huge crowds to Goodale Park and a march past the Statehouse. Ohio's capital pairs a fast-growing, arts-driven downtown with a compact, walkable scene.
