GB is perfect for an event at Nationwide Arena, as it's right next to it, and is always a festive atmosphere during an event at the arena. I saw the Police at Nationwide in 2008, and sat out on the patio before the show at GB and got a nice, nice buzz.

Barley's is another place nearby with good beer and food. There are many options around the arena, and plenty of hotels within an easy walk. The Arena District is THE place to party in Columbus, and this being a Friday night during the summer... it's gonna be crazy. Probably will be some bachelorette parties out and about, which always adds a hint of excitement in the air!

I can't wait! I'm excited for my first DMB indoor show.

I'll have to check it out, thanks

[Screaminreels]

Probably shooting for seats. Would be awesome to get GA thru WH and have the opportunity to be at the front, but I'm not sure I want to endure that.

[IndyDMB]

This show is the biggest question mark for me. Like the date, but not a fan of the inside venue.

[somuchtoplay]

Will be going to this one. New city for me to catch them in, within my home state, and will be the 1st time i catch them indoors. Hoping to do blossom too, but we have a baby due date in early june, so im not sure that one will work out for us. Just driving home round trip after the show.

Anyone coming in from out of town, go to Thurmans and get a burger before the show! (Although give yourself time, they often get on big waits, but it is well worth it!)

The North Market has a wide variety of foreign and local food.

Hot Chicken Takeover is in the North Market but the hours and food are limited.

Barley's for a resturant/bar setting.
http://barleysbrewing.com/

Three Legged Mare isn't bad for Irish food/bar setting.
http://www.threeleggedmare.com/

Bernard's Tavern has pretty good food and a nice bar.
http://www.bernardstavern.com/

UBER DISTANCE TO THE VENUE:
16-Bit Bar + Arcade is a cool bar with free arcade games when you buy a drink. No food but there are a couple places right next to it.

If you can get in the door, and especially get a seat, DEFINITELY Big Bang after the show. Holy crap that place is fun.

I'm requesting GA but won't try to rail.

I don't see it being worth trying to get to the rail due to some of the psycho's you will encounter. It's a shame, really.

[Screaminreels]

Rail would be great, but it would be a constant struggle to maintain your spot. Would feel ass whipped after the show is over.

[DaveMatthews318]

I will definitely be doing this show as it's 10 minutes from my house and I can park at the AEP parking garage for free.

[Klize17]

Went ahead and requested 4 tickets today for Columbus since you were able to opt out of the other tiers of seats. If declined will give the Citi Presale a shot.

[Spell On Me]

So since this is an arena, I'm assuming there is no tailgating before the show?

Tailgating in the arena district will be virtually nonexistent, unfortunately.

R bar, Gordon Biersch, BBR and Brothers are my personal favorites. Fun places to drink and eat for sure.

Holy crap, you coming to this show? Bring me some tacos please.


I am working on a bar crawl now, waiting on some places to get back to me. I will be creating a sheet soon.

What time you thinking this crawl would commence? I need to know what time I need to be arriving in town.

I'm coming in from Baltimore so I'm thinking I'd be in the neighborhood about 2-2:30. Just need to check into the hotel and drop off our stuff and we'd be ready to go.

Never thought I'd catch an indoor show in the summer but since I can only get to shows this weekend for the whole tour there wasn't much choice

Right? It'll be really strange not to be baking in the sun.

3-4:00 depending on bars, 1 set or 2 set, and general opinion.

This isn't the only indoor show this year. Try tailgating by your car, let me know how county is.

I went to Fleetwood Mac in September 2014 at Nationwide. I didn't find it too weird. I've also seen DMB during the winter too so that may be why I don't find it strange. It just doesn't seem all that different once you are in the venue.

These guys said it's 2 sets. Not sure who these people are, I've not heard of the them before.

I will be in town little before that. Should all work out great.

We might be in earlier.
Thinking about driving 1/2 way out Thursday night.
I'll know for sure in a couple weeks.
