About this place Southbend Tavern

Southbend Tavern, 126 East Moler Street, is a low‑key gay bar on Columbus’s south side, a few blocks south of German Village. The bar feels like a neighborhood watering hole. Regulars linger over cheap drinks, and the staff are friendly without the polish of a club. If you’re hunting a dance floor, you’re out of luck. Hours run from noon to 2:30 am Monday through Saturday, and noon to midnight on Sunday. It sits outside the Short North, so a short drive or rideshare will get you there. No website is listed; call +1 614‑444‑3386 for show info or events.

Omg such a beautiful and welcoming place. We came for R&B night and it was spectacular. I danced most of the time and probably spilled my drinks. The manager, is a sweetheart and so friendly and warm.
