The Brewery District is a lively Columbus neighborhood

Once the center of Columbus ’ beer manufacturing industry, the Brewery District is now a vibrant neighborhood in the heart of the city. The community’s history is still on display, from the colorful statue of Gambrinus, the King of Beer in historic legends, to the 19th-century breweries renovated into condos. Within minutes, locals can walk to High Street, a hub of bars and restaurants. For some fresh air, you can head to the sprawling Scioto Audubon Park and the Scioto River. Downtown Columbus is just over a mile away, and is reachable by foot, bus or car.

Historic buildings turned into condos and rental units

Many of the red-brick breweries and factories have long since been converted into condos and apartments, with a large population of renters in the neighborhood. There are also contemporary complexes, built since the early 2000s. Some units come with amenities like a fitness center and in-unit laundry. One- and two-bedroom condos can cost between the low $200,000s and the mid-$700,000s. “There’s not a ton of single-family homes, but if they are, they are typically brick, very similar to what you’d find in German Village,” says Brandon Prewitt, Realtor with Re/Max Metro Plus, who has worked in the area for over 20 years. Like German Village, there are Italianate houses and other Victorian-era homes from the early 1900s. Prices for houses and townhouses typically range from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$600,000s. “The Brewery District is less expensive than German Village by a pretty decent margin,” Prewitt says.

The Brewery District is filled with refurbished factory and warehouse buildings that housed breweries at the height of Columbus's beer manufacturing.

Locals dine at restaurants and bars along High Street

The traditional breweries in the neighborhood closed decades ago, but now there are plenty of bars and restaurants along High Street, including:

  • Local Cantina, with a new taco introduced every Tuesday.
  • Cobra, a local bar with Asian fusion food and drinks.
  • Agni, a fine-dining restaurant with a set price for a multicourse menu.
  • Antiques on High, a modern brewery that also serves wine and cocktails.

Scioto Audubon Park is an oasis in this urban neighborhood

Scioto Audubon Metro Park spans 119 acres and is a natural escape in an otherwise urban setting. The park goes along the Scioto River and has a boat launch that kayakers use to get on the water. You can bring your pets to the dog park or take them on a hike down the Scioto Greenway Trail. You can also go rock-climbing on one of the many structures. The park is popular with bird watchers, who take advantage of the Grange Insurance Audubon Center’s outdoor observation deck. The center also hosts programming like guided birding hikes and educational sessions on migration.

Lots of locals love birdwatching off the Scioto River.
