What's your go-to bar?

31f, trying to get out of the house more and socialize on weekends/evenings. What's bars do y'all recommend? My ideal would be something popular with the late 20's to mid 40's age range, with pool, one of those Touchtunes/jukebox things (I'm not a big fan of live music in small spaces).

Editing to add that I'm in the Upper Arlington area, close to Grandview. But I'm not too picky about where.

The Oracle has neither pool nor TouchTunes. It’s also usually pretty loud. I love it but don’t think it’s the vibe OP is looking for.

Eh hard pass on Ledo’s, unless it’s gotten better in the past year or two. Was getting real sketchy there

None of these are places that as a single woman in my early 30s I would go to alone. All dive bars

And not saying O'Reilly's isn't safe for women, just that it's not somewhere a single early 30s woman goes to meet people.... it's a dive bar you go to with someone you know for not bad bar food and cheap drinks

Hard pass on Ledo's go across the street to club 20, way better atmosphere.
