Recommended Posts

I haven't done this list for a couple of years, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Most of the frenzy of places starting bike nights has died off.

A few favorites still exist, with almost no new start-ups around.

Bike Nights that are well established

2nd & 4th Tuesdays/month - Euro Bike Night, Grandview

Wednesdays - Quaker Steak n Lube, Polaris

Wednesdays - KickStand Pub, Polaris – looks like they closed and re-opened

Wednesdays - RoadHouse66, Worthington

Thursdays - RoadHouse66, Worthington

Thursdays - Motohio Dinner Rides, Columbus – still good for 2012

Fridays - Hooters, Hillard (West Columbus)

Saturday - Gatsby's, Gahanna - 5pm-9pm live band – mostly Harley sponsored

Bike Nights that still exist

Biker Friendly Bar List (all of Ohio)

Very nice list! We really enjoyed GasWerks Bike Night. It was a lot of fun! But, I just want to confirm on your list of may or may not exist, The Bluestone 3rd Thursdays Bike Rally does exist! This Thursday (6/21 at 6pm) stop out and enter our raffle for only $1 to win a Harley Davidson, It's pink-but it's new- and it's $1 :) Live Music, Great Patio and fantastic people! If you haven't been to The Bluestone, it's worth your time to stop in and just check out the venue! Hope to see you there and Thanks for the list again!

Understood. Bike nights that are in their first year and sometimes a second year, don't elevate on the list until successful. There's been way too many bike night startups the last few years. I also like for myself or one of the others to visit and confirm operations. Good luck with yours. I'll make changes most of the Summer. New ones might appear, and some might be gone. Just look at the bottom list of goners and you'll see what is happening to most.

I probably should move GasWerks and Grandville Tavern up a notch...

Who wants to go and check them out?
