On a side note, can y’all help me out. I haven’t been back to Ohio since 1996. Me and my two boys are flying in next Thursday for The Game.

Going to dinner at Capitol Grill in UA then i want to go down on High Street. Any recommendations as far as bars? High Street or Short North? Wanna hit a few different ones.
what else to do on Friday day?
 
Basically I would just go to the short north and pick a place that looks good to you. There's a bunch to choose from. What kind of places do you usually go?

1) Bring warm clothes for the game, the high is currently forecasted to be 27°.

2.a) The Ohio State men's basketball team plays Pitt Friday, November 29, 2024 @2:30 PM in the Schottenstein Center. Tickets are available.

2.b) Does your boys like hockey? Friday, November 29, 2024 @ 3 PM the Columbus Blue Jackets take on the Calgary Flames in Nationwide Arena (which is in downtown Columbus). I am sure you can find some tickets on the online ticket sites.

3.a) Bar suggestions would depend on the age of your boys. If they are relatively young like in the picture (or at least under 21) there is a decent Buffalo Wild Wings on the corner of Lane & High that would be more "family friendly" than an adult bar. In addition, BW3 has lots of TVs and is currently running some good (reasonably priced) menu specials. Back when I was in school it was the location of a campus bar called The Thirsty Eye. I think the only campas bar still under the same name and at the same location when I was a student (late 60s/early 70s) is the Varsity Club on Lane avenue.

3.b) There is more of an adult bar/restaurant in Dublin OH called Urban Meyer's Pint House you could check out. You probably have heard of him. It's the bar that he got into "hot water" for visiting after a Jaguar game when he was their coach, see video:

Thanks for the info. Definitely bringing warm clothes. Gonna be slightly colder than California lol.

theyve never been much into hockey but the basketball game would be fun. I got tickets for it.

my boys are 22 and 23, so we’ll probably end up on Short North and hit a couple of spots. Fives Up High looks promising.
