DJ Roonie G opening Columbus club


DJ Roonie G, an entertainer who hails from Columbus and regularly performs in places like Las Vegas and New Orleans, will open a nightclub in downtown Columbus.

He confirmed the news in a phone interview with the Ledger-Enquirer this afternoon, noting the hot spot will open in the Broadway venue that's previously housed clubs like Savana's, Rumors and most recently The Oasis.

Roonie's club, Mix Nightclub and Lounge, will be an upscale dance bar that he expects will open in the next 45 days. It's the first nightclub he's solely owned.

The DJ said he'll continue performing on a national level while the nightclub is open. Roonie G, who has been recognized by trade publications like DJ Times and Club World Magazine, boasts a unique show that mixes video with music.
