Arena District
The Arena District buzzes with electric energy on game nights when hockey fans storm Nationwide Arena. Surrounding the sports complex, you'll find sleek bars and restaurants ready to fuel your pre-concert excitement or post-game celebrations. KEMBA Live! draws music lovers while the Columbus Children's Theatre adds cultural flair to this entertainment hub. Upscale steakhouses and sports bars dominate the food scene, though prices climb when events are happening. Modern hotels and luxury apartments offer stylish places to crash after the action dies down. Everything sits within easy walking distance, but be ready for crowds when the Blue Jackets are playing or a big concert hits town.
University District
Home to Ohio State University, the University District boasts a diverse range of restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the Gateway Film Center. Explore Ohio Stadium and Old North Columbus for a taste of local culture.
