What's up with the Uptown Tap?

In the nightlife world, "closed for renovations" is often a bar's death sentence. But the folks from the Uptown Tap on Broadway maintain they'll re-open after recent renovations are complete.

A spokeswoman for the downtown Columbus hot spot, known for its summer courtyard parties, confirmed the news via phone today.

She said next-door nightclub The Vault, which previously operated under the Tap's umbrella, will also eventually re-open.

For long, The Vault was a dueling pianos bar. Now, a sign outside the bar says the concept didn't work here and the club will re-open with a new theme.

Broadway hot spot The Oasis, which is not associated with the Tap or Vault, also recently closed its doors to partiers.
