Club Diversity

Dubbed the best piano and martini bar in Columbus, the club is home to a very diverse crowd. GLBT or friendly straights, everyone can feel a warm welcome here.A mostly laid back, easy going hang. A great place for quiet conversation over a cocktail or two. Speaking of which they mix a strong one, so it's no place for a nervous person. lol.Still, line up a DD, learn to nurse a drink or stay home.I tried my first chocolate martini which could be my last. It is very popular so they obviously make them well. Normally a popular spot for musicians from around the country, Wednesday night is karaoke night and us amateurs get our crack at fame. They advertise 2nd Monday is "Munchies" night from 6-8pm. Something I can't wait to check out but have yet to make it here. Perhaps next month? 07/24

Don't go with a big crowd (more than 4) the staff might crumble. That said the environment is great and the back patio is perfect for a Friday night hang out with friends. Just not too many....

Love Club D! I don't come here nearly as often as I'd like because I stress about parking. There's a scant handful of spots behind the bar and some at a nearby bank. If those are full, good luck. The chocolate martini is the best in Columbus and packs a punch! You definitely get your money's worth with that drink. During the milder months, the outside area in the back is especially lovely, with gazebos and festive lighting. Also worth mentioning is that there is a small theatre upstairs and karaoke in the main bar on occasion. When it gets crowded, bar service can be incredibly slow, so be prepared for a long wait at the bar.

Incredibly rude staff. It's feels like a "friends only" bar- if you know the staff, you're treated like a friend, and if you don't know them, you're treated like garbage. They have flat out refused to make food that's on their menu, they're slow, and unwelcoming. I have been several times over the years and I reached my limit.

This reviewer has been going to Club Diversity since he arrived in Columbus 17 years ago. Everyone is always welcome there, and that fact is reflected in this business's name. This reviewer has never witnessed, or heard about, any criminal activity there or nearby, so it is a safe place to go, unlike some of the LGBT-friendly dive bars in the far south end of Columbus.In fact, Club Diversity is a far cry from a dive bar with a grand piano in the main bar area. Also, this business operates within an Italianate (Victorian) house that was originally the home of one of the brew meisters (masters) in the nearby Brewery District, so it offers a cool, historical vibe. In addition to the main bar area, which comprises approximately one-half of the first floor, there is additional seating in a "front parlor" room on the other side of the grand central hallway. However, many patrons choose to sit in one of several gazebos in the backyard, or on the front porch and watch the traffic go by on High Street, during warmer weather. All of the interesting seating options helps make Club Diversity one of the best LGBT-friendly bars in the Columbus south end!Club Diversity is the best LGBT-friendly place to go for karaoke Sunday and/or Wednesday evenings. Jason is the KJ and he always makes sure everyone is having a good time, and that the rotations run smoothly. However, if you venture to Club Diversity for karaoke, be aware that "lyric changes" are a favorite at this location. So, if you would be offended by your favorite song being turned into a raunchy, sexually-explicit rant, you might consider going elsewhere. On the other hand, if you possess no such sensitivities, these songs often prove to be hilarious.

Nice laid back place where the staff doesn't bother too much. If they don't know you, ummmm expect a little hesitancy and stares tho. I don't believe it was because I was black but because they don't know who I was. The drinks are nice and the pretzels are disgusting. Cheese is cold but I was warned it's all microwaved food so don't expect a miracle. I love the back area where you can sit out at and the scenery is beautiful.

We visited Club D on weeknight and it was slow so there's not a lot to say. I did like the looks and feel of the place and hope to visit again.

This is a great place! Wonderful patio to lounge and have a drink. Folks are happy and gracious to their customers. Always a good group of people to mingle with. Highly recommend!!

We visited the bar last night during Karoke. Had a great time. BUT one of your regular bartenders "CRAIG" is a real ASS HOLE when hes a little drunk. Hes a poor representative of your bar. He was off during that night I was told. The other bartenders are OK. But he's a real ass hole.

Club D has really great drinks.... but the service at times left me disappointed.Recently I came here with a group of friends in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. Besides our group, there was only a handful of other customers -- less than 12 people total in the place.Club D has a list of "house" martinis. As we were finishing our first round, we each one-by-one went up to the bar and ordered second drinks. I had the Purple Crack for the first round, so I wanted to try something different on the next round. When it was my turn to order, I asked for a Tropical Martini, but the bartender said they were all out.I responded, "Which Martini would you reccomend?"He quipped back, "I don't know, just hurry up and pick something!"Wow, that rudeness really caught me off guard. I looked back and there was like 2 other people at the bar behind me, and they place was still empty. It's not like I was holding things up. And for a bar known for their martinis, you'd think the bartender would be excited to talk about them, or at least offer a suggestion on his favorite.You guys might want to try being more personable with your customers.
