new downtown bar

Flip Flops will soon be spotted in downtown Columbus -- whether the weather's warm or not.

That's because Flip Flops is the name of the new bar opening at 1111 Broadway, the area near Big City Club and The Oasis.

I stopped inside today and spoke with the owner briefly. The bar is an extension of this chain, and the owner compared it to hot spot Fat Tuesday. It's designed to have a relaxed, Jimmy Buffett-type vibe.

Yes, there will be frozen daiquiri machines on the wall. Score!!!!

They're shooting for a New Year's Eve grand opening, but things are still up in the air.

Stay tuned to The Walk of Shame for updates.

Exciting, huh?
