I hit up the Columbus Clippers game last night and on the way home my brother in law suggested a beer on the way home at a new place that just opened this week. My arm doesn't need to be twisted for another beer. So off we went.
Columbus has quite a few culinary gems, but the location we were going is a small boutique shopping area stuck in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Many spaces have sat vacant for a long while, and we actually kicked around the idea of opening a small pub there.
We arrived around 11pm to find the chairs up and the lights low. The closing time read 10pm, but the door was open. Behind the bar we met the owner and chef, Jeff Headley.
Chef Jeff was extremely accommodating. He told us the story of Park Creek, where he had come from, where he was going, his struggles to open a restaurant with a liquor license in a residential community with just a 5% commercial base.
He demonstrated genuine hospitality. We sampled from among his large craft beer list and salivated over the eclectic menu consisting of organic and local ingredients. Though I have not tasted from the menu just yet, I will return based on the experience. Even if its just for another beer.
Here are a couple of link to the website and Facebook pages.
