    Top 10: The Best New Bars in Columbus, Ohio

    2018 was a good year for the local drinking and brewery scene, as Columbus saw the grand openings of several highly anticipated establishments. Our readers and editors were tasked with organizing this year’s top 10 best new bars in Columbus, Ohio and selected the brand new Antiques on High as the number one pick.

    Although it just opened a month ago, Antiques has been a known entity as a spin-off from the well-established Seventh Son Brewing. The new two-story bar features mid-century modern decor with dark wood paneling and plenty of communal seating. The upstairs area is currently a glass-enclosed rooftop patio with walls that will open up during the warmer months to create an airy spot for those who want to hang out in this emerging block of South High Street.

    The drinking selections feature a full cocktail menu designed by Travis Owens — formerly of Curio — in addition to a new line of sour beers produced by Seventh Son, which will soon be brewed on-site once the final pieces of equipment are installed.
