Columbus Nightlife
Most of Columbus's hot spots are clustered around the Ohio State University campus (expect crowds when the OSU Buckeye football and basketball teams play) and the downtown neighborhoods around the Short North, the Arena District, and the Brewery District.
Two free weekly newspapers—the Other Paper, and Columbus Alive!—have complete listings of goings-on in the city.
