What makes our Lounge so great? Is the amazing bar staff? Is the amazing new fall cocktails? Or is it the fact you order from our new fall menu while sipping on your favorite drink… the one that hits JUST right.

We can’t answer that for you… you’ll just have to lounge around and find out for yourself. 😎🥂

Shaken. Not stirred. And can I also get the salad?

Sure. Our Lounge may be one of the premier places in Columbus to grab a cocktail, but did you know you can order from a full dinner menu when you do?

Take your pick from our delicious new starter, entree, and dessert options while you watch the leaves gently glide downward toward the Olentangy.

Our Lounge is as cozy as wearing your most time-honored sweater while putting on your favorite record on a chill autumn’s day. It’s the perfect place to spark attraction, close on business, conjure tales of the glory days of yore, or simply to spend a little time with yourself.

And the you can also order food while one of our incredible bartenders concocts the perfect drink.

So raise a glass to the turning of the seasons, we’ll be here for all the long and chilly nights ahead.

The leaves are starting to turn and the air has a pleasant chill to it. There’s nothing better on days like these than taking a walk out in nature and looking for birds.

Our friends at The Wilma H. Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park are graciously joining with us again to share their birding expertise. And the best part? This happy hour is absolutely free.

So come to Understory, warm up with your favorite cocktail(s), and join some of your new best friends an a birding quest down the Olentangy Trail.

🇫🇷 “Tomber amoureux” with our the Understory French Dip, which has become a breakout star of our new fall menu.

We pair 4oz of braised roast beef, caramelized onion, Swiss, garlic aioli and beef au jus between a pretzel bun. The result? A savory autumnal classic at the intersection of comfort food and a little bit of fanciness.

Try it with the new Midwest Goodbye from Wolf's Ridge Brewing for a perfect early-October pairing.

Brunch like royalty this weekend with our churro-flavored doughnut holes. They’re golden and crisp on the outside with a creamy cinnamon-style dipping sauce.

It pairs perfectly with a mimosa, coffee, or Slice pumpkin ale.

Brunch like you mean it this weekend at Wolf’s Ridge. Treat yourself. You deserve it!
