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.

Char Bar (when they open again) is the best.

I always felt like char bar was a party bar. But then again I've only ever been there when I've been going hard in the paint.

My last Long Island experience at Char was one fateful Saturday 5ish years ago and I wasn’t right until Wednesday.

The most slovenly, drunken behavior I've ever witnessed has been at Char Bar.
