YouTubeI don't think it was inevitable, just owned by the wrong guy. I would never have thought to admit it, but there was something to the bar there. The restaurant just had a poor renovation and lacked any sense of style. The owner really lacked any connection beyond the WW2 generation which sadly was passing on. I think in the right hands the Clarmont would do fine. There are several places that have icon status in Columbus and the Clarmont was one of them. I think some of the young turks in the restaurant business have been handed an opportunity.

I've sat at the bar for happy hour a few times, and it would usually be full, no matter what night of the week. It was always the same crew of people, who'd clearly been going there for decades.My first thought was where will all the regulars go? They were a cool crew, lots of old Hungarians. We talked Hungarian recipes last time I was there.
