✨💜 A HUGE Thank You to Tasha Salad & Mr. Salad! 💜✨

Take a look at our newly remodeled dressing room! We couldn’t be more excited to share this beautiful transformation with everyone.

From the moment you walk in, the room feels brighter, more welcoming, and truly worthy of the incredible entertainers who use it. The stunning illuminated vanity mirrors provide the perfect lighting for performers to prepare and shine before taking the stage. The elegant ivy accents add a touch of charm and personality, bringing life and warmth to the space. And let’s talk about that gorgeous purple paint—bold, vibrant, and absolutely fitting for the creativity, glamour, and energy that make our community so special.

None of this would have been possible without the hard work, dedication, and vision of Tasha Salad and Mr. Salad. They generously gave their time, talent, resources and effort to help create a space that our entertainers can be proud of for years to come.

Please join us in thanking these two amazing individuals for everything they did to make this project a reality. Their hard work has truly made a lasting impact on Southbend Tavern and our entertainment family.

💜 Thank you, Tasha Salad.
💜 Thank you, Mr. Salad.
💜 Thank you for helping make Southbend shine a little brighter.

15 years ago today we took over Southbend Tavern. We have seen much over these years both high and low times. We have met some really great people and unfortunately lost some wonderful friends over the years. Through it all we are very grateful to our patrons for your continued support. We have strived to bring you the best place possible. We still feel we have without a doubt the best staff in Columbus. Our wonderful employees always go a step above and beyond to help make Southbend the most welcoming place we can. We continue to try to bring you the best in entertainment and hospitality. Thank you all for your support and please continue to come and enjoy our warm and friendly atmosphere. Much love to you all.
