Where to Party in Columbus-Light
On the far north side of Columbus, just off Rt. 23, you’ll find the Crosswoods Center. This is where you can find one of Columbus’ 3 IMAX theaters, great restaurants like J. Alexander’s, and one of Columbus’ newest nightclubs–Columbus Light.
I went to Light last Saturday with two friends and had a really good time. We arrived about 10:30, which was perfect; because it wasn’t yet extremely busy and we were able to lay claim to a table. If you arrive after 11, good luck if you want to sit down. (At least Columbus clubs haven’t gone to a pay for a table system like clubs in Vegas, NYC or Miami.) We hung out, talked, danced (and drank) until closing without ever getting that “I’m getting bored and tired” feeling.
Good to Know Before You Go
The music was a very danceable mix, with songs from the 70s to today. It was mostly modern dance and light hip hop, with songs from the last three decades slipped in where they would fit and be fun.
The drinks were good, but a little pricey for the Columbus area, with attentive (and very pretty) servers.
Light has also opened a very nice patio bar. This is the only place you can smoke, so if you are a non smoker, you will want to sit upwind from everyone else.
There is a $5 cover charge.
The crowd was older than most Columbus nightclubs, which tend to be very young. If you are mid 30s, you are the average age at Light. I’ve been told the club is 25 and over.
Finally, gentlemen, please act like one at Light. A fellow was rude and touchy (uninvited) with my friend. It didn’t take long for security to “help” him out.
