Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

I can’t believe we’ve arrived at the final Friday of July. I’m not sure where this month went! There’s so much going on around town this weekend (we’ll get to that below) but if you’re just on the hunt for a great drink and an awesome place to chill, I have a suggestion. Saturn’s is a modern sports bar where you can not only watch a game, but also play some games yourself. I’m talking video games, arcade games, beer pong, and more. It’s a cool new spot with affordable bites, delicious cocktails, and off-street parking that’s actually easy to access in the Short North. Talk about a dream!
