This trendy gay martini video bar mostly caters to fashionable 21+ gay male clientele. The bar can sometimes be a bit snobby but it's still one of my favorites.

Havana is a quaint video bar in the Short North Business District in Columbus. The music and videos are the newest releases. The bartenders are very accommodating and quick to serve you and your friends. the only thing I don't like about this bar is the small, old and tired bathroom with only one stall. Prices are reasonable.
