The Forum

Stopped here during a road trip on Interstate 70. Every parking space was taken, and the inside was bustling. Thankfully we ordered online for pickup. After a very short wait we got everything exactly as we ordered. Both the pork chops and the meatball pasta was quite tasty. We'd definitely stop next time in the area.

I want to like this place but the sound system is just not tuned right and really takes away from the experience. Void makes some of the best speakers in the world and I’m happy to see them here. But I just feel like they’re set up lazily. Hiring a sound engineer to dial this place in would really make it a staple club in the midwest. There needs to be more direct bass that you can feel, because right now it’s just a bunch of echoes around the space. Lastly, the vip booths need to be moved away from the middle of the dance floor. People keep falling into them and with them being in the middle of the club is ridiculous. Looking forward to this place improving over the next few years.

Its missing lasers , co2 spray and more lighting, it is a vibe in here on its way to hold prominent positioning in EDM. It. Needs more for the vibe to hit just right. Im not disappointed

Place was way too packed!! You could barely move!

The venue is great and consistently brings in amazing artists, but my only complaint is the sound system. For EDM shows the speakers just don’t deliver which is a shame.

The floor was so sticky people were stepping out of their shoes and pulling up floor tiles. Bar seems a little limited. Sound was pretty good.

Nice venue. It gets pretty hot inside at times. There is more standing room than sitting areas inside. The balcony area has additional seating, more seating than the main floor. In some areas of the balcony, you can see the first floor. The balcony area also has bar. There is a small stage and several VIP areas in the first floor. There is parking nearby in the pay parking lot north of the building and pay street parking on the surrounding streets Bathrooms are ok.

Nobody passed the vibe check including the DJ music was dookie the beer alone was 6 for a can of beer I seen someone else get everyone was too coo to dances group went too the parking after and drunk and played music and it was way better music

Forum is a relatively new-to-me venue in Columbus. I've been twice, both for music. One was for a house show and the other was for a monthly R&B night with local DJs. Both times, I had a great time! The entrance is in the ally and when you walk through the doors the space looks much bigger than it does from outside. Right away you see a giant dance floor, and that there are two levels. There's a bar on the balcony and downstairs. Both have been easy to access and the bartenders were quick to serve. The music was on point during both of my visits as well. I really liked that I could go from being in the middle of the dance floor to chilling on the balcony overlooking the show from giant comfy chairs. I definitely know I'll be back for the monthly R&B night (HIPS) and I'll keep an eye out for other artists.

This is a super cool place! I went for Smoked in Ohio awhile back, and it was my first visit to The Forum, though I feel like every city has a venue with that name. There is an elevated DJ booth with visuals projected on a back wall, an ample dance floor, and a bar downstairs. There are two staircases that lead to an overhanging balcony which provides a pretty epic view of the downstairs--- perfect for a breaking battle. I didn't drink while I was there during this day time event so I can't confirm how they are or how it feels for a show at night, but I really enjoyed my visit and I would definitely come back.
