Looking for the place to entertain yourself, a date, a group of friends, or the whole family? The conveniently located Arena District knocks it out of the park. Here, among pedestrian-friendly brick streets and relaxing green space, you can catch a game or match, enjoy many restaurants, and experience name brand musical acts doing their things on marquee stages.
When you’re in the mood for some top-tier tunes, head to Nationwide Arena, KEMBA Live!, and the A&R Music Bar. When spectator sports are calling, see Triple-A baseball’s Columbus Clippers at Huntington Park, watch the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets face off at Nationwide Arena, and get your Major League Soccer kicks with the Columbus Crew at Lower.com Field.
Downtown Columbus has four professional sports teams, all playing in the Arena District. Grab a group or fly solo and head to our venues Lower.com field (we highly recommend the Nordecke), Huntington Park and Nationwide Arena to cheer on the home team!
Home to venues ranging from Nationwide Arena and KEMBA! Live to intimate venues like The Basement (which is, you guessed it, a basement), come to the Arena District to find big-name tours, local bands and indie artists alike taking the stage.
The Arena District is home to a host of delicious and iconic restaurants and bars. Grab some of the best (and biggest) sandwiches at Wario’s Beef and Pork. Explore over 30 local vendors in the historic North Market. Grab a pre-game drink at the legendary Betty’s Bar. Enjoy a casual meal at local favorites like Creole 2 Geaux, Si Senor, and Flatiron Tavern, or a fancier meal at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse, Nada, or Buca di Beppo.
