Bossy Grrl's Pin Up Joint

So much fun! So many good drinks! So many confident, strong, beautiful, and fabulous entertainers!My friend is getting married and she wanted to see a drag/burlesque show for her bachelorette party. We went here for their Barbie burlesque night.OMG!!! So much YAAASSSS!!!I love that they had Jell-O shots. We had such a great time. I cannot wait to go back. All the LOVE to the Queens and Kings of burlesque!

This place is very much open. I just went to a Burlesque show last week and it was wonderful. So affirming. I cannot recommend this place or this troupe more highly. Such a lovely experience.

One of the few places that retains the former spirit of the off-campus streetscape, Bossy Grrl's slender space in the Hudson, High radius fills the niche of novelty nicely. Dressed as a Victorian brothel--the bay windows flanking the door are shrouded by white lacy curtains-- the hangout acts as a coffeehouse and gamer room as well as a bar. It seems to be everything but an actual brothel. Cabaret-ish ( they don't serve food), burlesque ( of which have parties periodically) is the feel here. Combined with the vintage interior of the old North Columbus buildings and the place has a offbeat charm. The space features uneven exposed bricks alternating randomly in different shades of red, faux chandeliers with bra after bra--red, black, cotton white-- intermixed with Mardi Gras beads hanging from them. Add the poster-art adorned with classic woman of the night in red lusty lace, garters, fishnet stockings, and underwire cups and you have a sexy possitive atmosphere that I really enjoy. In there is also a stage where they have open mike nights. And a back room with a long wall sofa, some cool lamps, and a darker, punkish feel. I came on a Sunday and it was a lazy, toned down afternoon. There was just a gaggle of regulars playong vintage computer games. The bartender ( owner) was very open and talkative and served me well even though he was in the games with the regs. They had several cool crafts on tap. Their cafe mocha was decent. I think this is more a bar than a coffeehouse ttytt. Though the mocha wasn't bad at all.I'll certainly return for open mic or other creative deal.

I like what Bossy Grrl's is trying. It's an interesting concept, a combination of a bar and coffeehouse. There's also lots of entertainment, from burlesque to karaoke to poetry. It's bar is great but it's kitchen service needs a lot of improvement. They have the potential to be great but there can be some bad service especially when busy. I would say come for one of the shows, because it's a lot better time. It's burlesque shows are Mondays. There's also other fun events like comedy and open mic. It has Straub drafts for $1 at happy hour. The cocktails are what they do the best, but I also like the food menu. It's better than regular bar food. There's a lot of funky choices, if they're not out of certain items, which they usually will be. It's vegan friendly with a few good choices. I had a black bean burger, and it was pretty good. The Elvis Impersonator sandwich comes with fake bacon strips and peanut butter. I would come in here earlier if you want food. The kitchen service is slow, even when it's not busy. I overall like this and will return. The food is good when they have it together, but eat when it's not busy. You will have a good time at the shows whether it's burlesque or whatever.

I've been to Bossy's dozens of times since I moved to Columbus. I like to go on Mondays and Fridays for their burlesque and variety shows. The bar was recently renovated, but hasn't changed in spirit! It remains a fun and inclusive place to find entertainment or grab a drink after work. I'm looking forward to being able to spend time regularly here again.

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and had a nice time. The bartender was friendly and welcoming to us first-timers. She told us a little bit of the history of the bar and couldn't believe it had been here for five years. She suggested a raspberry mojito and boy can she make a great mojito. So good I ended up having two more. They have different events throughout the week. It has a really vintage, cool vibe and I can see how it can become a regular hangout for someone.

What do people expect from this place? They expect every new joint to blow them and shower them with free shit for being new. This is a casual joint that is about the shows - that's what I got from everything before I ever stepped in.A buddy an I popped in here on a Friday night - the decor must fit in different in the ambient lighting, as yes, it's kitschy. They had a belly dancer and a backup band. The bartender made us a hummus plate and serve us beer. The crowd was in to the dancer. Will this be a go to bar? When they have performances, yeah. Not insanely loud. Intimate. The bartender was awesome-but I think they do need to figure out a better way to do the food. I can't imagine this place busy.Will we come here for food? Only if we are here and hungry. It sounds cool, but food doesn't seem their forte. Stop comparing them to Betty's. they ain't. They also aren't trying to be.I'll be back.

I've only been here once! I came with a bachelorette party and we had a ball! The energy is welcoming, the staff is fantastic they went the extra mile to make sure the bachelorette enjoyed herself. The drinks were great and before the show we enjoyed some good ol' karaoke. The burlesque show was great and we found ourselves enjoying it all. It's not fancy it's a relaxed environment with entertainment.

Wow - I had a blast at this bar! The bartender was friendly, fast and really had the hustle down.My girlfriends and I decided to dress up in pin-up attire and had happy hour prices all night. We drank $1 glasses of Draft beers. AWESOME!The 2 owners are the ying and yang. Amber is friendly, super sweet. Sandy is wild and flirty. Perfect. I will be back as often as possible :)

Bossy's girls is an awesome Old North stable. It is the only bar where burlesque is consistently performed in Columbus and is a very safe place for openly queer folks. It's a fun tiny retro bar filled with great entertainment and great people. From drag to karaoke to burlesque there's always some thing great going on here! I can't recommend it enough!!!
