The Forum

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.

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

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.

No where to sit down, too small, no Air, you have to pay to get and park. Over priced drinks..

Me encanto el lugar, amazing night with nora en pure good vibes and friendly staff I hope will do more events like this.

Had a blast the only thing that I didn't like was they don't sell buckets of beer

Disappointed. The website said the artist’s show is at 9 pm, we waited until 12 am until they showed up. The venue and the ticket sellers should have clarified/specified that there will be opening artists performing before the main one. Wasted most of our time waiting and we couldn’t leave as we didn’t know when the main talent would perform.

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.
