Club Diversity

Join The Club....

Club Diversity is one of those places that feels very familiar. An old Victorian, complete with a porch, piano bar and gazebo in back, it really is like going to someone's house party....a "cool" house party. Friendly staff, live entertainment and themed movie nights are just part of its charm. It could be open later, but it is what it is in the meantime. Great place to be though.

A bit disappointed

I visited the website for Club Diversity, and liked the layout and planned to visit there on my next trip to Columbus. Nice place, but overall, the folks there were not to talkative, including the staff. I do plan to visit there again, though, as I shouldn't write off a place on one visit alone. It is a very interesting place.

an okay place

An okay place, more of a old timer bar, not for the younger crowd who like to really party and dance

awesome patio

A Victorian house converted into a bar with an older, cliquey crowd. It's worth noting their schedule of trashy, themed movie nights. Club Diversity's big draw, though, is its awesome patio: a big backyard with gazebos, perfect for a happy hour pitcher of beer with friends on a sunny day.

Has a lot of potential

It looks like a nice place with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, what mostly ruins it is an overrated Columbus gay community. The gay community is so highly touted here; I’m not impressed. It’s nothing more than a bunch of Appalachian hillbillies that have the pretension that they are part of a major metropolis. (As I like to tell people, Columbus is West Virginia's largest city!) It’s very cliquish and not open or friendly, and it is a low brow crowd. I had much better luck meeting people when I lived on the east coast, and they were people that were more appealing to talk to. In addition, there are problems with a couple of the bartenders: one charges different prices every time you come up to him (raising them in succession....he's the one that smiles at you phony), and another recently spent his time surfing the internet and acted perturbed when I asked him for the wifi password. He spouted it off quickly and unclearly, acting annoyed when I asked him verify. (The password contained a “plus” – is the word spelled out, or is it the “+” sign?) The back patio is overrated too; pretty dirty from all the smokers. Columbusites seem to have a thing about touting up themselves and their city, this bar included. It isn't all that. * * *
