There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest news:
- The owners of Community Grounds Coffee & Meeting House announced that they’re transitioning the business from a brick and mortar to a mobile dine-in experience. Their last day at their storefront, located at 1134 Parsons Ave., will be Aug. 5.
- Columbus Monthly broke the news this week that 451 Spirits will close its Clintonville tasting room and distillery, but will live on through a partnership with Echo Spirits Distilling Co., which will create its products.
- SOW Plated has opened its second grab-and-go location, called SOW To Go, at 30 Price Ave. in the Short North.
- Ray Ray’s Hog Pit announced a new location coming soon to 49 1/2 S. Main St. in Johnstown, officially opening on Aug. 15. This site is the former home of Ghostwriter Public House, which closed in February.
- The Happy Little Treats vegan bakery announced that they are extending their stay in their Short North storefront for another month, with a new final day landing on Aug. 24 before they move to a new location in Grandview.
