Yet another reason why Columbus is badass? This city is hoppin' with young pros, 10,000 of which…read moretake part in this (not so) little organization - one of the top three young professional networks in the US! Reasons why I love CYP: 1. FREE membership - rather than pay a flat rate per year, you only pay for the events you're interested in attending, many of which only cost $5-$10 dollars and tend to include free food/drinks 2. Variety - CYP events can be seasonal sports leagues, socials, networking breakfasts, movie nights, local cultural events, etc. You name it, CYP's probably got it. They're open to suggestions for new venues and ideas so you never know what will be offered next. 3. Networking - I might be a little biased on this one coming from a PR background, but I LOVE that this group incorporates people from all different professions. Events are a great way to step out of your comfort zone and meet some really interesting people. 4. Leadership and volunteer opportunities - with weekly events and access to hundreds of non-profits, clearly these opportunities will present themselves. They're another great way to access and connect with the community. With so many members, events can be overwhelming at times. The business events can get stuffy sometimes too, but I suppose that's to be expected since I'm probably one of the youngest members in the group (yeah, 22!) Either way, if you're young and looking for fun, networking and sweet experiences in Columbus, you should probably join CYP.

After living in DC and being a part of a very active Young Professionals network, I wished that…read morethere was something similar here in Columbus. Fortunately, the Columbus Young Professionals were just being formed at that time and I hurried to join. Unfortunately, an opportunity opened up for me out of Ohio and I put my membership on hold. Fast-forward 2 years later. I moved back to Columbus and found that the Columbus Young Professionals I had left behind had grown to be one of the premiere young professionals organizations in the country! They hold a nice variety of events so you are bound to find something that you like to do. There are a wide range of members but do be careful of those that see this as a dating club when you are there to network and meet other like minded professionals. I've met many new, wonderful friends in this group...but I've also met some people who restraining orders would be more appropriate. But that's really the case with any group. Just know what you're getting into. Membership is FREE and you only pay for what you do within the group. For example, there is a monthly member dinner which is fee to attend. You just pay for your meal. Other events, such as outings to the Funny Bone, have discounted tickets (normally $30 but $5 for CYP members). They also have volunteer opportunities to help give back to the community. I'm glad to be back and getting back into a group that with over 10,000 members has become the 3rd largest Young Professionals Network in the US!

Do not go here unless you want to belittled or treated unfairly. I told the bartender I don't have…read moremy ID (legal one**, was let in with buckID) and asked for a sprite. She asked for my payment card, and took it to the computer behind the bar to swipe. She kept screaming "it's declined". I checked my bank and even called my mother to make sure my card was not frozen AND it had over $200 on it. I asked her to try again. This time I watched, and saw her repetitively swipe the card but then click something in the top corner that resembled an X and said "order paused/cancelled/ etc whatever). I asked her why it's doing that and what's going on. that I know I have more than enough money on the card, and it should not be "declining". She then screamed in my face and said "NOT U TRYNA COME IN HERE AND GET TS WITHOUT HAVING A REAL ID. IM NOT STUPID I KNOW YOUR NOT 21 GET THE FUCK OUT". Excuse me??? I was left completely baffled and just fucking left. I was getting sprite because my stomach was hurting, was NOT intoxicated, and NEVER asked for alcohol. I then (this year) tried to go again with a couple friends to see if anything has changed. They let me in, then proceeded to tell me I HAVE to pay $5 to get in. I thought it was weird, but walked over to the atm. My other friend (who goes to uno often) said "wtf are you doing, you don't have to do that". the men at the door looked at us with a guilty look after seeing my buckid THAT I USED TO GET IN. Now, i'm fed up but go to the bar to get a coke. The same bartender from last year is there. Immediately I smile and be kind, ask "how are you? can i get a coke please?". She looks at me with a disgusted ass look and rolls her eyes. proceeds to get my coke, and then slam my payment card down with the receipt on the bar counter soaking both of them. I did not leave a tip. I don't even know if this place typically even charges people for a small soda?? I recently found out who this bartender is, her name is Lauren. She has provided absolutely nothing but disrespectful and hostile service. She was never kind, did NOT ask for any type of clarification when SHE misheard me the first time, and proceeded to be so fucking rude, a year later. I doubt she even recognized me or would, which goes to show her character, and the type of people this bar has no problem hiring. If you hate your job that fucking much that you are costing your employer customers and their money, fucking quit. will NEVER be returning, especially after learning of this bar's history of having no sympathy or willing to change/make any mistake right. Then proceeds to embarrass themselves labeling themselves as "High street's #1 bar" yea fuck no. I've seen countless young people roofied, assaulted, laughed at, ignored, and disrespected by staff and they do NOTHING. Something needs to be done about this place, or they need to actually start fucking caring and fixing their mistakes ESPECIALLY the people brave enough to be honest about it online. I would easily put negative or 0 stars if I could, but we all know you have to at least put one.

I've been here a couple of times for planned events where my group has rented out the top floor…read more The bar supplies bartenders and we were able to cater in dinner and bring in our own DJ. This year, the rooftop bar had some expanded seating, which was a nice perk (for a private event at least, I don't know how accessible it might be otherwise). The drink selection is kind of limited if you don't arrange for cocktails, etc, and the bartenders can be hit or miss. This year we had a couple of great people mixing drinks for our event. I'm not much for the bar scene, so I can't give an opinion on a regular night, but they did really well with the event.

I was at a club event on April 20 at Callahan's. Food was promised, as were "featured drinks." The…read morefood was apparently (re-?)heated at the last moment, but not thoroughly, and heating cans were eventually provided, to little avail. The "featured drinks" consisted of one bottle each of Monkey 47 whisky and some no-name very young-tasting bourbon...THAT WAS IT. The bar was open, of course, with a pair of fantastic bartenders, but the prices were ASTRONOMICAL for such an event. The ownership and/or management seemed to be disinterested (at best) in ensuring the quality of the event. I have had some good experiences in the past at Callahan's, and I hope this is not indicative of the place overall, but it was extremely disappointing.

I've come on occasion for Mass and this time to celebrate the departure of my favorite priest, Father Joe. He's so funny and just a great guy overall. He really knows how to open the word and teach in a way that engages you. I'm sad to see him go, but glad that he'll be pastoring a famous church in the heart of Manhattan. There is some diversity in the congregation here. I love seeing students, families, and elderly folks. Their parking lot is small and can get tight. Sometimes you can park at the Baptist ministry's lot next door. Anyway, cool space! It's open and there are always seats open near the front. I love coming here! I'd come more if I lived closer.
