There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:
- The Bubbly Hall food hall celebrated its grand opening yesterday. Located at 6065 Central College Rd. in New Albany, the market includes multiple kiosks from local food businesses, including Seoul Food on the Go, Hoyo’s Kitchen, Just Chicken, Mr. Hummus Grill & Pizza, Faye’s Crepes, and others, as well as two bars, a small retail space, and local artists featured on the walls.
- Today Boston Stoker Coffee Roasters holds the grand opening of its new shop at 6058 Glick Rd. in Shawnee Hills. This is the second location for the Dayton-based coffee shop and roaster; it joins a relatively new shop in Grandview.
- Jackie O’s much-anticipated Columbus brewery, named Jackie O’s on Fourth, finally announced its opening date: Friday, May 5. Located at 171 N. Fourth St. downtown, the new brewery and taproom features 6000 square feet of indoor space with a bar, retail store, and private event space. Outdoors, Jackie O’s will feature 8000 square feet of patios spread over two levels. The opening announcement also included the news of two new eateries. First, Athens’ beloved Bagel Street Deli will open up as a cart on the patio at Jackie O’s on Friday, April 21.
