Brewery District map

Brewery District Neighborhood Overview

Brick-Loft Lagers, Parking Unicorns

🧭Bordered by: I-70 north, Scioto River and Scioto Audubon Metro Park west where there's a giant climbing wall visible from the highway, Greenlawn Avenue south, Pearl Street and South Third Street east

📌Widely recognized as the place for: revived brick breweries, boozy patios, and preposterously giant pretzels, Milestone 229 serves them the size of your head

👕You can spot a Brewery District local by: weeknight steins, Saturday spin class at the studios that moved into old warehouses, and suspiciously well behaved doodles on every patio

👍Locals live here because: downtown adjacency without downtown drama, plus parking like suburban royalty, most buildings have actual lots or garages, rare for urban Columbus

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: game day traffic when everyone cuts through to avoid campus, train whistles, and patio FOMO every sunset because every brewery patio looks better than yours

The general vibe is: brick glam, sudsy, surprisingly serene except when trains blow through at 2am
