If you’re a college alum who has graduated from school, but not from enjoying a nostalgic dive, then the new Homage Bar is perfect for you. Being a brand that’s always brought people something to wear on gameday, it’s only appropriate they’re now bringing customers something to drink on it too. Located in the Short North, Homage has partnered with the Graduate Hotel to create a vintage sports bar that has strong drinks and quality food. The bar isn’t just a nighttime hotspot, however, as it’s also open daily for coffee and breakfast from 6 a.m. till noon. With specialized cocktails like the “Captain Clipper” and “Legends Never Die,” Homage Bar will bring you back to the glory days of no hangovers and squeaky bar stools. Its stadium- and after school-inspired menu offers soft pretzels, fried bologna sandwiches, surprisingly good BLTs and more to make you feel the warm nostalgia of growing up in the Buckeye State.
