Inventive cocktails, rotating themes, and playful bar snacks
"December brings out the bar’s full holiday-tropical personality as it decks itself in festive décor, serves cocktails in outrageous mugs, and encourages Hawaiian shirts as though Columbus suddenly had a beach, with cheeky drinks like a carrot-cardamom Mai Tai, Christmas at La Casona, and Santa’s Go Go Juice providing brightly flavored fun against the snowy backdrop outside." - Carrie Honaker
"A few blocks from Cobra, Law Bird is a playful, welcoming bar (a 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar) with imaginative, rotating cocktail menus — currently one inspired by Goosebumps — and an energy that keeps every bar seat filled." - Katie Chang
"A James Beard–recognized restaurant combining inventive cocktails with elevated comfort dishes, led by a celebrated bartender and known for creative, memorable drinks." - Regan Stephens
"Law Bird is part neighborhood cocktail bar and part restaurant hospitality industry hang, with plenty of delicious bar snacks, a color palette that will remind you of Miami Vice, and some extremely rad Prince-themed bathroom wallpaper. There’s even a pink neon sign that reads “Not Governed By Reason” right when you walk in. Start your visit with the excellent $5 mini martini, which buys you time to look through the rest of the well-organized menu. We’ve already made their hot dog Wednesdays a regular tradition.

"Upon walking into Law Bird, your eyes immediately fix on a pink neon sign that reads “Not Governed By Reason.” This is the sign that confirms you’re in the right place, whether you’re meeting friends for Happy Hour or grabbing a negroni after a long day. Law Bird is part neighborhood cocktail bar and part restaurant hospitality industry hang, with plenty of delicious bar snacks, a color palette that will definitely remind you of Miami Vice, and some extremely rad Prince-themed bathroom wallpaper. They opened four months before the pandemic shut down bars in Ohio and did to-go cocktails for a while, but now they’re one of the best new bars not just in Columbus, but the country. Start your visit with the excellent $5 mini martini, which buys you time to look through the rest of the well-organized menu. We’ve already made their “bougie” hot dog Wednesdays a regular tradition." - Erin Edwards
