The St. James Tavern is nestled in the short north's Italian Village. The downstairs is a humble pub with 11 micros on tap, 50+ bottled beers, as well as a fine selection of champagne, wine and liquors. To date, the upstairs (The St. James Hideaway Lounge) hosts live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Not only is the atmosphere aesthetically pleasing, it is also one of the better sounding live music venues in the city. Unlike many venues in Columbus, the definition of each instrument is clear. No ear plugs necessary. The Hideaway Lounge also hosts an Open Mic Comedy Night every Wednesday. I have caught quite a few national acts, but most comics are local up and coming comedians. Admission is free. The St. James always has friendly patrons, a friendly staff and is a great place to to see live music, comedy, fine art or have a drink.
Pros: inexpensive, great sound, great jukebox
