Here is a full list of Short North Bars and Restaurants.

OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT | ROOH

685 N. HIGH STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO 43215 | (614) 972-8678

Oh. My. Goodness. Columbus fortunate to have Rooh in town, where we join Chef Sujan Sarkar’s concepts from major international cities like New Delhi, San Francisco, Chicago and London.

Where do we even begin with the food? If you are into small plates, and you should be at Rooh, we recommend the Tuna Bhel (pictured). This dish is perfectly seasoned with just a tad bit of heat. How anyone was able to pair ingredients so perfectly is mind boggling. Get a couple plates to share because we guarantee you will want more than just a bite. Another favorite is the Cauliflower Koliwada, which turns nature’s most basic vegetable into something extraordinary. For your main plate, the Butter Chicken, Rooh’s signature dish, is a no fail option. The meat is amazingly tender and the collection of flavors are other worldly. The Beef Short Ribs Curry are also a great main plate. No Indian inspired meal would be complete without naan. Our favorite is Chili Cheese, which is rubbed with spices and features a hint of cheese (move out of the way Taco Bell). And alas, save room for Salted Jaggery Ice Cream. YUM!!!!

BEST COCKTAILS | MOUTON

954 N. HIGH STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO 43201 | 614 732 4660

Mouton ain’t yo’ mama’s or papa’s cocktail bar. The atmosphere is quaint (not a lot of tables) and we describe the vibe as sophisticated hipster. Mixologists are on hand to create a wide selection of drinks meant to be savored with friends and the menu is creatively designed to help point you towards a concoction of your liking. Try the “Thyme after Thyme” featuring Middle West Spirits wheat whiskey or the Midwest Escape with Honey Vanilla Vodka, Bacardi Cuatro, lemon, ginger, passion fruit, pineapple, grapefruit and bitters.

BEST MEN’S SHOPPING | SAMSON

772 N. HIGH STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO 43201 | (614) 504-8038

Parlor, meets apothecary, meets style shop for men. That’s Samson in a nutshell, but beyond the surface you’ll notice a distinct knack for style and quality. Friendly, knowledgeable staff help select favorites or can help remake your look altogether. Designs are classic and rustic, but what makes Samson great is the combination of staples and accessories. They also offer sleek barware for celebrating or relaxing at home, jewelry sunglasses and much more.

BEST WOMEN’S SHOPPING | JOLIE OCCASSIONS

867 N. HIGH STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO 43201 | 614 907 6367

Jolie’s is the French word for pretty, and the store is true to their brand. From the window decorations to to the racks, the esthetic surrounding everything Jolie is light, bright and stylish to the max. The store has been a Short North staple for a little over three years, but its feminine flair and affordable prices draw people to the area from around Columbus and beyond. In addition to making you look and feel good, Jolie is committed to supporting the community and environment by has partnering with over a dozen non-profits such as In Christy’s Shoes, the American Heart Association, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, CarbonClick and the Salvation Army of Central Columbus.
