Barley’s Brewing Company is Columbus’ oldest operating Brewpub. Established in 1992, we offer a variety of award-winning ales paired with elevated pub fare. We are located in the heart of it all. Right across from the convention center a short walk from the neighboring districts: Short North, Downtown, Arena District.

Ravenwood Castle is a unique get-a-way. Their beautiful remote location is surrounded by half a dozen state and national forests, providing them with absolutely amazing hiking. It also means we’re one of the few places left where cell phones, television, and internet service aren’t all-pervasive. The disconnected nature of our location provides an ideal opportunity to enjoy some quality time with your family and friends, free of electronic interruptions. But don’t forget about all the board game fun as well!
