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.

Came in last weekend for hips and was pleasantly surprised at how nice this place was! It was a bit packed but that didn't slow the service up at all our bartenders name was Liv and her customer service was definitely top tier very knowledgeable, nice, and fast made sure to continuously check on us throughout the night. I’d definitely come back.

Went for an EDM event and had mixed thoughts. The club spent dough on a Void Air system but there was very little bass. I'm pretty sure the only bass I felt was from the 15" woofer on the 4 Voids. Void makes proper subs, Stasys Xair. Y'all NEED to get these subs if you want to continue EDM events. If you don't fix the bass, head bangers will not come back. I can help you fix this.

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!

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.

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.

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.
