As someone who is late 20s and looking to start cruising on a skateboard, they were very patient and helpful to point me to a board that'd work for me. read more

DO NOT BUY YOUR BOARD FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO RECEIVE YOUR STUFF DAMAGED! It was shipped in a long bubble mailer bag. Not in a box, a bag! When it arrived and i opened up the bag and the plastic wrap on the board was ripped and there were scratches on the board. Either they shipped me a scratched board or it was damaged during shipping due to the ridiculous packaging. Emailed Embassy Boardshop to tell them how the board arrived with pics attached and how displeased i was on how it was packaged for shipping from the midwest to the west coast. They might as well just slap a shipping label on the board and skip the cheap bag. NO RESPONSE. read more

Great small business to support. They've got tons of awesome clothes and footwear as well as everything you need for skateboarding. Great prices and sales on footwear, as well as a knowledgeable staff. read more

Swung by here when we were in town to check out a local shop (and if you skate, you can always use another deck) and am glad we did. Eric was super cool, shop had a great selection...what more could you ask for? Come here and spend money! read more

After doing a double take when I passed it for the first time while driving north on High Street some time back in February, I decided to stop Embassy and give it a look. A skate shop? In Clintonville? Can it be true? It was indeed true, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the layout and the wide variety of skateboards, hardware, and clothing that Embassy has to offer. Although I hadn't been in a skate shop since I gave up on the sport shortly after I turned 21, the boldly designed decks and colorful selection of wheels and trucks quickly made me question why I ever gave this past time up in the first place. Shelling out $120+ for a new complete setup seemed like an impossibility when I was 17 years old, but my stop in Embassy made that investment seem more than worthwhile. The selection of decks was colorful and inviting, and featured over 50 designs from all the big names like Alien Workshop, Enjoi, Stereo, and Habitat to name a few. I ended up with a newer7-ply Enjoi model that started the base for my complete setup at around $55- not too shabby. With a pair of independent trucks, Bones bearings, and Pig wheels and hardware, the whole setup ended up costing around $130 out the door. Compared to the cost of having a complete built and shipped by one of the mail order heavyweights, this is an excellent alternative if you just want to get out and skate like I did. Embassy also gets bonus points for having a friendly and knowledgeable staff, a decent selection of sale goods towards the back, and a soundsystem that sets a perfect vibe for browsing the high-quality goods they offer. This is not your little brother's suburban strip mall skate shop- Embassy is the real deal. read more

See all

I came here to pick up a new deck, the guy working was super friendly. He put on my grip tape for me and my friend even had her whole board put together for her here. They have a good variety of decks and clothes. Super friendly local skate shop. Definitely shop here for your skating needs. read more

Locally owned and operated, Embassy is a destination point for Columbus skateboarders of all stripes. They have a huge selection of boards for a mid-sized shop, and a quality selection of clothes, gear, and shoes. Plus you can get your very own pair of scarlet and gray pot leaf socks, so, there's that. Everyone at the shop is extremely knowledgeable and can help you build it, find it, or figure it out. Eric is a gentleman and a scholar, shop here. read more

Ok so I dont skate, much less "thrash". So what am I doing in this skate shop? Cause they have awesome sneakers!If your into street wear, don't hesitate to go to Embassy. Obviously they have the latest Nike SBs but also Vans, Converse, DVS and a couple other brands. The store also carries Nixon and Gshock watches along with brands like Diamond Supply Co and the Hundreds. While the store seemed to be pretty dedicated to the skating culture, the owner was just as chill for those just looking for sneakers. *Tip, under the tables are clearance/last size shoes. I coppped some great deals so def check it out. read more

This place makes me long for my skate boarding past. They have such a great selection of boards. The bread and butter of a skate shop is often its apparel, and Embassy gets it right. They carry lots of shirts, jeans and shoes. The help is friendly as well. They don't hover like at so many other places. Check it out. read more

Great local skate shop. Everyone is always super chill. There is a nice selection of decks that you can build up. Additionally, there are shoes, apparel, etc. if they don't have something in stock, they can usually get it in just a few days. Shop Local! read more

Ok. I'm totally biased, but this place rules. Seriously. Every respectable skateboard brand is represented. The owner Eric and his few employees are (all core skaters), approachable and knowledgeable. The selection of shoes they offer can't be beat in Columbus. The shop's very laid back and has a simple layout. If you have a question about the local skate scene or need to know the spots...they have the answer. read more

The owner Eric (hope I spelled his name right) was super helpful. I know it's a skateboard shop but I brought in my snowboard to see if he could put my new bindings on and he went down to the basement, took some hardware off his other board, and took the time to set up my bird for me... and didn't charge me a thing. I will definitely come back to this shop if I need anything in the related field, and they have super cool clothes there too. Very great business I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! Thanks again Eric! read more

Awesome selection of equipment and gear, very helpful staff. Can't really ask for much more lol.
