Didnt order food, but the atmosphere was superb! The drag show was outstanding and fun! The owner was a blast, responsible man and respectful as well. I really recommend checking out their drag show, super, super hype, fun, outrageous and I loved it!

Awesome place to go for Karaoke and drinks. The bartender Melinda is wonderful to talk to and she is absolutely hilarious.

I was at Toolbox for the Wednesday show and had so much fun I came back for Thursday karaoke. Jonathon took good care of me at the bar and Larry is an excellent karaoke host...if you can take the outrageousness. (Funny as anything!)The regulars are a good crowd. Id come back to Columbus just to hang out here.Update Oct. 2022. I came back to Columbus just to hang out here. Jasons karaoke night was such fun. Bingo is not for the prudish. I had fun anyway, but my virgin ears are in shock. Jerry at the bar is superb.Update Mar. 2023. I still love this place. Chona hosts karaoke well!

Great little bar! Feels like cheers but for gays. Very welcome of anyone and perfect tot meet your friends and have some drinks. They have some cool events as well. Prices are good and its a clean bar and thats hard to find.

Bartenders were super nice , started to have fun but then .... the guy at the music booth , for karaoke was standing behind me and my friends . Not a problem but he pulled down his pants and starts moving his private area around while I was in front well the side of him . I felt that was not professional at all , especially if that’s our first time going . After I seen that when my friend recorded the video I will not return I am grossed out and discussed bu what I saw .

My boyfriend and I went there last night and we had a overall good time at first it was a lil awkward because we never went to a gay bar before but the staff and some members were friendly. I felt welcome after a lil bit ^^

The best bar on the south side they treat you like family it’s just like the tv show Cheers.

Typically dead. Most nights youll find 2-3 patrons here with nothing else going on. Occasionally there are shows but the quality is not what youll find elsewhere. This place used to be pretty fun, especially in the summer when there were cookouts on the back patio, but of late there is just nothing to draw a crowd.

I was nervous coming at first but the owner was super nice and one of the patrons encouraged me to make a fool of myself at karaoke so its all good. Hahah.

Small, homey. Strippers get a bit handsy. Dressing room is small for performers (smaller than the stage haha). Has a pool table and friendly bar staff. Parking is limited.

When I go out, I go to The Toolbox because of the fun and great memories that are made there. The staff is friendly, as well as the guests. The Toolbox has spectacular entertainment every night that I go out and never dissapoints. There is something for everyone from male entertainers to top name female impersonators, they have it all!!! Oh, they also have reasonsble drink prices that will knock your d*** in the dirt lol.

Interesting atmosphere. It was almost empty when I went in a Saturday night. The neighborhood is a little iffy. I prefer their sister bar, Southbend, down the street.

This place went so far downhill since the quarantine shut down it looks new because they painted but the service is horrible the drinks arent good anymore and they dont care about social distancing or safety the karaoke is way to loud and drags out way to long and the host is awful tries to hug all on you kiss you and is straight up obnoxious.
