Used to go quite a bit before Covid. It was always the most welcoming place! Very quirky and charming.Since theyve reopened, Ive been a couple times. They are doing a really impressive job of creating a safe environment. And they have new drinks, which are bomb. Plus, they renovated during the closure and its even more fun and gorgeous inside.There are not many places Ive ever gone to a bar by myself and felt safe as a female person, but Bossys is one of them.

Amazing places. Definitely a go-to spot for fun with groups. Any occasion being celebrated is guaranteed to be a delight!

Great bartenders, a little pricy on the drinks, but I dont drink much anyway so I probably am not the best judge on that front. Have had a great time at many different types of events here, from poetry readings to burlesque to drag shows! Highly recommended as a fun place to go on a night out!

This amazing inclusive location is the small business we should all hope to patronize or work for. The owner is a strong, intelligent lady that obviously cares about her employees and patrons.I have yet to hear a friend that has visited this establishment have anything negative to say. Everyone keeps raving about how wonderful an experience they have had. Keep up the good work Bossy Grrls!

Good drinks, lots of fun...cant wait to try trivia night!

Always a great time. So many beautiful faces and hilarious conversations between wild entertainment....Love this place

What a cool place i love the owner especially, shes such a cool lady!

Horrible experience. Terrible serviceEdit: I’ve been there multiple times and I’ve got horrible service both times.

If I could give less than 1 star I wouldEdit: I’ve been there multiple times and I’ve got horrible service both times.

Great service, amazing entertainment, and wonderful, inclusive atmosphere!

This was our first visit, we recently moved to Columbus and was invited to a show! Everyone was very friendly and the bar had a good atmosphere. Laid back vibes and lots of laughs. The Emcee was very entertaining and the Bartender was attentive and fast. Will definitely be visiting again.

Cora is amazing, as is her crew.

Could there be a better bar in Columbus? No probably not. Always filled with welcoming and fabulous people. Come here if you are bringing good vibes.

Amazing staff! Super nice and friendly. Good selection of drinks and non alcoholic drinks

Nice folks. We went to see the show, Snake oil and Shenanigans, with Fire dancing. Good fun. all of the preformers were very good. Its a small bar, its a little risque $5.00 cover, great cheap entertainment.

This is my favorite bar. Open mic on tuesdays is great

This place is magical in how open and welcoming it is. I went for a burlesque show, and they were taking canned good donations or seven dollars to watch the show. And the show was marvelous! The performers all had their own styles and none of the performances were like the last. Some were sensual, others funny, a few were romantic and the only similarity was that they were all beautiful. This place is most definitely LGBT+ friendly and I will be coming back.

My favorite bar, without a doubt. Amazing staff, amazing patrons, amazing performers.

This spot is great. Quality open mic. Fair prices.

I love this place! Geat campy fun. The drinks are decent and people are great. I am a big person so I do want to point out that the place is Narrow. You are going to walk directly next to the stage, if you come in after a show begins that may feel awkward for you if you are anxious about such things, and most of their tables are bar height and there was no foot rest for leverage. Having said that, the shows and fun and people do more than enough to make up for all of that! Definitely go, bring cash to tip the performers, and have a fantastic time!!

One of my favorite places in Columbus to see a burlesque or drag show! Amazing entertainers even on open stage nights and a fun and friendly staff that wont tolerate discrimination of any kind. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

Excellent service... Our bartender was fantastic

Was visiting from out of town... this place is awesome. Had a blast !!

This place is very intimate and small. It makes you engage with other people. Its good to meet new people and experience new things.

Love the people, great atmosphere. Cant wait to go back!

Great drinks from an awesome bartender, and good times with open mic comedy

What an AWESOME place!! Our first time & certainly wont be our last! They were just alot of fun people to hang with, great drinks, environment & place! Check this place out!!The night was on fire with their featured drinks with BLAST ENERGY!! Love the new mixer!! Yummy in my tummy!!

This is an amazingly inclusive bar, truly a safe place for everyone

Great place fun atmosphere all inclusive, makes me want to do burlesque. Very body positive.

Always a great place that cares about its customers.

This is a little bar not to pass up. And if you do it is your mistake. With nightly entertainment great cocktails awesome selection of craft beers you dont want to pass it up.the entertainment ranges anywhere from live music which can be acoustic to even karaoke but they also have live cabaret on certain nights you need to call and ask for the lineup. This little bar just minutes north of OSU campus is a diamond in a rough and you need to go check it out

Most of the bartenders are great but thats about it. I used to love going because of how opening and welcoming it was until i was nearly constantly harassed and assaulted and nothing was being done about it. I had to stop going for my own sake. The abuse was too much. The bar owner favours money over the protection and safety of its patrons and performers.

The beautiful women there are so darn confident, that its sexy! It was my first time at Burlesque show & I was definitely entertained. I am so excited to see future shows. Also, drinks were reasonable & the bartender(s) were attentive.

Good music. The drinks were strong and good!

Fair entertainment at a fair price. Awesome location.

A very lgbtq body friendly open place for people to express them self on stage

Love love love! Great atmosphere and friendly people all around. The shows are a great time and the bar is awesome.

Intimate setting, very cute details. Came for a poetry reading, will come back for the service and atmosphere

Shows are great, staff is great! It was my first time and the only thing I would warn is be aware the space is fairly small, (not necessarily a bad thing,) and parking is difficult on a Saturday night. Their coffee and tea selection is wonderful! :)

We had a fantastic time in the space, and the show was amazing, but the bar is very small and linear. Getting through the crowd not only disrupts the shows that happen there, but push people out of viewing range. It isnt terribly easy for people to navigate, when full.We saw a mixed drag event hosted by Rowan St James, and left with sore throats from all of the yelling and cheering we did! There was a really solid line up, and Rowan did a great job of keeping the crowd motivated and entertained between sets. The show started with a flute quartet, and it was really cool.

Amazing and interesting performances and great laughs! Such a cool little classy/trashy place. Bartenders were awesome! I travel a ton for work and always love coming back to a place like no other! Fun, sexy and interesting.

Cute place. Everyone super friendly! LGBTQ Welcome!!! ️ Definitely will be back. First place in a long time where I felt very comfortable and welcome since becoming a upper bilateral amputee in January 2016. Thank you Bossy Grrls!!

Such a good crowd. So many different types of people. They serve good alcohol and good coffee

So Bossy is not going to be a place for everyone. Just know that going in. It is very dive bar-ish. BUT they are a staple in the community and do some really wonderful things with their space I have only had positive experiences here.

Coffee, cocktails, and a whole lotta atmosphere!

What an experience!! They have different shows depending on the night you visit and I wish I could go every night. Great atmosphere and great drinks.

Total dive bar, and wears it proudly. Friendly staff and great tunes.

Bossy is a great local bar to have a nice drink at. The atmosphere is comfortable, the space small, and the crowd familiar. It is usually quiet, and the frequently changing house cocktails are a perfect blend of crafty and affordable. The beer selection is always interesting and satisfying as well. Occasionally the place hosts loud shows and burlesque, which depending on what you are into is a perk or an annoyance, but the majority of the time it is a friendly place for a low-key drink. There is never a risk in checking it out, as even when it has a stage show popping off there are no shortage of neighboring bars. For those looking for some entertainment, their shows are typically well planned and performed while maintaining a casual, familiar feel.

Had a wonderful time and everyone was great! Loved the shows!

All-inclusive atmosphere that is loving and supportive. The staff, owner, and bartenders are the best! Love going there for a nice burlesque or drag show, or just to chill out and hang out with friends.

Awesome little joint. Great bartender and chill atmosphere. What more can ya ask for :)

It was awesome had a great time and everyone was very nice and friendly definitely will be back.

Went to this bar to meet a friend for her birthday. The bartenders were friendly and the music was excellent after karaoke ended. Its a narrow bar, so when they host events like burlesque, its not the best but Id hang here on a normal night. The bathrooms are a little questionable on cleanliness. The bars clientele seems mainly gender queer, so if you are comfortable with that youll really enjoy yourself. Otherwise Id recommend another bar.My biggest complaint was even though I had been at the bar drinking for at least two hours to before the burlesque started, they still came up to us and charged us cover for the show. Ive never heard of any bar doing this. Wasnt happy. Also, not happy when the bartender took my drink away which was sitting on the bar while I watched the show and I still had half a drink left. Also, my drink was definitely not as strong once the show started Thats why I didnt give the place a higher rating.

Its small and a very friendly place to be! Will be going back!

Great Bartenders, Good Drinks and Amazing Performers

Enjoyed the unique atmosphere. The seating is very awkward and uncomfortable though. :/

Dragshows are pretty damn cool

Had a fun comedy night at a dive bar.

Ive never gone here and had a bad time.

Great small bar with live performances!

Love this place, great times whether you are seeing a show, hanging with friends, or as one of the best karaoke on Thursday and Friday evenings. It is quite small and challenging to move around when busy otherwise its a great place where everyone acts as friends.

Love this place and enjoyed performing here - fun environment and affordable prices for drinks !!!+

Great place. Burlesque shows every Monday. Small stage, nice smoking patio. Regular crowd is friendly & welcoming.

I love this bar. Ive gone on a few different occasions and days. Everyone is always so friendly, happy and they most certainly know how to make you laugh. Perfect for a little night out.

Fun little bar always something going on there.

Great variety of Music and live acts. Nice Layout. They had espresso which was nice (The Americano was descent). Good Ambiance.

This is one of my favorite bars in Columbus! I dont really go out too often, but when I do, I come here for burlesque on Friday nights.Ive taken several friends to burlesque here and all of them have really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is the most female-friendly bar/night life scene Ive been able to experience in a bar. Its divey, but it doesnt feel unclean or disgusting. The bar just has a lot of character and I like a lot of the drafts they typically have on tap.

Cool joint. Check it out!

Fun place. We came for the game night, and had a nice time.

It seems every Monday night they have a very entertaining burlesque show! Highly recommend and the drinks were inexpensive

Chill bar, good energy, open mic comedy and music. Check it out

Great mixed drinks and beer. Coffee is also exceptional. The bartenders and staff are very friendly and are quite conversational. They have weekly burlesque shows and the Thursday night Freq dance party.Parking can be a pain for the area, as there is no off-street parking. The setup is a little janky, as it occupies a turn of the century storefront. Imagine a narrow but long space. It can get very crowded at times, but sometimes thats half the fun.

This is an incredible little bar filled with Open minded individuals just waiting to make a new friend. The bar is small but cozy and the staff and patrons make you feel like family.

Small place. Overpriced drinks. Fun ambiance/outlet for your trashy side.We had gone in for drinks and to cool off around 5pm one evening this summer. Around 9pm when a show was about to start they came around collecting 5 dollar cover charge for the show. We had been there for hours and we all found this to be classless and greedy especially since wed come in and spent WELL over 5 dollars to sit and drink that long. Gimme a break.

This place is hit or miss for me. When its hoppin its always a good time... As long as you find a place to sit. The burlesque shows are some of my favorite in town for sure. Other times youre the only one in there.

Great beer selection, and bartenders. The Shows are outstanding!

Lovely place with strong, great priced drinks. Burlesque and Drag, what more could you ask for?? Maybe parking but we all know how the parking is down there lol.

Super fun dive/burlesque bar. Huge, cheap drinks, friendly patrons and great staff (some of whom perform). Good for people watching and more.

Amazing place thank thank you for the amazing show and had a blast for the nude year show

Ever wonder what ugly people look like naked? Come to burlesque night and find out! (I threw up in my mouth a little.) Plus, you can get a healthy dose of attitude from the repulsive performers. On the positive side, the bartender is very nice, and Soul/Funk every fourth Saturday is pretty cool, and for the most partunpretentious.

I. Love. This. Place. Drinks are great, non-alcoholic options exist, and come see Mary St Jaymes on Wednesdays!

Fantastic night beautiful ladies and gents... shaking it or taking it off. Lovely time great atmosphere

In the couple times Ive been here Ive had a good experience. Fun, dark, cool atmosphere, with nice bartenders. Prices arent great but not terrible. I recommend stopping in and checking it out if you are bar hopping in the area.

Always a great time, especially when they have Burlesque shows. It is close quarters, but that is half the fun of Bossy Grrls!

They put on a really good burlesque show an open mic night is always fun

Best bar around! Come see us perform every Monday! And some Fridays too!

Had a great night here.

Great music! Free wifi and the password is their phone number. Great signature drinks too. Have you ever come on a burlesque night? Think about it. Wont regret it.

Not a great place. Shady little dive with burlesque. Used to frequent the place until I found out how poorly some of the employees and preformers get treated. Decent coffee.

Small, really small, but friendly and inviting. Lots of good draft choices. 1 star lost because the stopped serving sandwiches.

I love it. My Girlfriend and I went on Friday for the burlesque show. Fun place, close quarters, a little loud, but fun atmosphere.

Best dinks I ever got here in Columbus. The entertainment is awesome. Loved Beatles v. Rolling Stones night.

Very special place. One of its kind in the area.

Decent neighborhood bar had a bunch of regulars with some good schtick on open mic.

Fun staff, and the atmosphere and decor are very unique! Everyone should come to this place once...I guarantee you will come back! Check their calendar for a burlesque show or for their variety show every Wednesday night!

Great bar. Loved the Velvet Hearts Wonderlust show

Love the place. Great entertainment. Good times good people. Feels like a second home

Low lighting, small stage, friendly atmosphere. Bathrooms are hilarious.

Dude with a beard in a dress on stage... My group immediately walked out. We did not sign up for that

I went here for a poetry reading, which was great. Pale Ale was like $6 a pint, which is a little much for the poors like myself. Awesome decor though. Seriously loved the brazzier chandelier.
