5% Cash Back at Bodega

Situated at the corner of High Street and 3rd Avenue, Bodega is right in the heart of the Short North Arts District. It's a perfect match putting this lively modern spot in such a vibrant city neighborhood, and guests will be quick to feel the exciting possibilities of spending an afternoon or evening at Bodega. The relaxed but professional vibe is just the backdrop for enjoying the constantly evolving menu. All of the ingredients are prepared fresh daily, and Bodega makes a concerted effort to work with local food purveyors as often as possible. Not only that, but Bodega really keeps it local by giving a percentage of their proceeds to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank and other charity organizations. From the weekly specials to the rotating cheese plates and the selection house-made soups, the kitchen at Bodega is always cooking up something comfortingly grandiose and seasonal -- whether it's quail one night or sea scallops the next. Of course nothing goes with great food and art-adorned walls like a good drink, and Bodega excels in that area, too. For beer fans, this place will become a temple of brewing adoration with the selection of 50 craft beers on draft and another 100 or more Belgian and specialty imports by the bottle. Even with such an extensive beer selection, Bodega still packs a full bar featuring handcrafted cocktails as well as an eclectic and carefully chosen wine list. Happy Hour runs Monday-Friday from 4-8 p.m. for anyone wanting to take advantage of great drinks specials. Bodega is consistently lauded by numerous local and independent publications for their stellar happy hours, unrivaled beer selection, and atmosphere. With a kitchen open until 1 a.m. every night of the week and plenty of drinks to keep the good times rolling, Bodega is not to be missed. NOTEWORTHY: Stop by before, during, or after the Gallery Hop, which happens the first Saturday of every month.
