Martini Bars In Ohio

Martini bars are plentiful in Ohio.


The Midwestern state of Ohio is home to great natural beauty, thanks in part to the presence of Lake Erie's coastline, the Ohio River and the glaciated Allegheny Plateau. Visitors to Columbus, the capital of Ohio, will find plenty of cultural attractions and nighttime activities. Night owls visiting the city will have little trouble finding a unique martini bar to spend an evening in. Martini bars can also be found in other Ohio cities.

Designed for adults 30 and up, drinks are on the pricier side and the bar has a strict dress code of "stylish attire"--no sneakers or baseball caps allowed. Cocktails are divided into three categories: martinis, champagne cocktails and specialty cocktails. Drinks include the Black Cherry Fizz, made with Smirnoff black cherry vodka, Chambord, sweet and sour mix and soda. The food menu consists of appetizers like Crab Cake Corn Dogs and Kobe Beef Sliders. Martini Park is closed on Sundays.
