The lifestyle in Columbus · Greater Columbus · Franklin County
The lifestyle scene in Columbus, Ohio.
Columbus is Ohio's capital and its quiet overperformer — state payrolls, the university's fifty thousand students, and a genuinely young, midwestern-progressive social culture that supports more nightlife than the city gets credit for.

What the scene looks like here
Columbus has two on-premise clubs: Club Princeton, the upscale private-membership club with formal-leaning themed events, and Ohana's Social Club on the south side, the three-story house-party club — dance floor, five private rooms, BYOB. Two real rooms with different registers; both run on membership and event calendars.
