The Dopest Dive Bars Part 2 is here... 😎🍺

Sponsored by Columbus Arts Festival: June 7-9th at the riverfront. 150 live performances on 5 stages, 270+ artists, and so much more. Check out all the details here. 🎨🖼🎭

Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

I've read your emails, I've heard your begging, and I've finally decided to give y'all what you want. The hilarious Zoey Miller is back with more dope dive bars, by popular demand! There are some Columbus classics that didn't make it into Part 1, so be sure to let your Dive Bar passion out and hit up these new additions. If your dive didn't get mentioned, don't stop emailing me. There's always a chance for Dopest Dives Part 3: (Funny Subtitle is yet to be determined). 🍻
