Nice venue. It gets pretty hot inside at times.There is more standing room than sitting areas inside.The balcony area has additional seating, more seating than the main floor. In some areas of the balcony, you can see the first floor. The balcony area also has bar. There is a small stage and several VIP areas in the first floor. There is parking nearby in the pay parking lot north of the building and pay street parking on the surrounding streetsBathrooms are ok.

Was disappointed date and I went there last at opening stayed an hour left music wasnt our cup of tea wasnt worth 17.00 per person for the cover. Was sticking to floor where I was sitting just a miserable experience. ( when first walking through the door the first booth on the left was where I sat )HOWEVER the club smelled and appeared incredibly clean. I will give them

Olivia was the best bartender at the venue. Great event but Olivia was the bartender that remembered my order. The other ones were confused when I said I had a tab. She was fantastic and made the night enjoyable. She was amazing!!

The void speakers while cool looking and expensive do not pump bass. They are really good for mids and highs but not so much the lows. They need to invest in nice subs so the dancefloor can, not only hear the bass, but feel it as well.

Hey forum, if you’re going to keep throwing edm events, maybe your bartenders and bottle girls should stop acting like they hate the entire fanbase. I’ve witnessed their attitudes/side eyes so many times, even though our group is always respectful and tips well. It’s strange feeling so unwelcome in a space

The owner and employees are amazing! Nice event space with a bar on both floors. Plenty of space to dance and have a good time. The restrooms are maintained throughout events and are very clean. The drinks are priced fair. The only gripe would be parking, but its worth it.

Great atmosphere for The Redo. Drink prices a bit on the high side. $5 for a beer is too much. $24 for a double of Dusse. Loved the Redo, though. So even with the high drink prices, I would go back for the Redo event.

Dont show up late for an event. Atleast not without being able to skip the line..

Review №12

It’s definitely lit. But the dance floor is shoulder to shoulder you have to literally wedge your way through to the bar and the drinks are all like $17 and good luck not spilling that drink with all the people. It’s definitely a black club

I rated it three stars for a few reasons. The parking is beast because you are in downtown Columbus. Additionally, it is located in an alley so your navigation in your vehicle may have a tough time located it. There is limited seating unless you are paying for V.I.P. pricing. The sound system could use an upgrade because you hear background noise. The deejays are awesome. They play a nice mix of R & B and Hip Hop music. If you are looking for the 20 to mid 30 year old crowd its a nice spot. Do not go if you are 40 and over unless there is a special event being held like a First Fridays or you will be the oldest person in there.

Beautiful venue, staff was very nice and the security were on top of their game when Pauly D was playing. They were aware of sketchy characters and asked atleast one that I saw to leave. It’s great knowing they prioritize people’s safety I will for sure be returning. Thank you for creating a fun and safe environment in our city.

Fun club! Went during the Arnold convention and it was lit! Lots of drink options and a bar downstairs and up on the 2nd floor. The music was pretty good. Better than other clubs/bars in the short north, like Axis for example. ALSO this was a good mix of straight and gay folks so all are welcome😁❤.

Bobby and Nate are running a very nice establishment. Dress code on point security and cpd run a smooth line out front. Have to get there early because there is no parking. Oh drinks fabulous 😉if you know what I mean. Money well spent!!!!! Not to mention the upper level with the glass vip.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 its a must visit black establishment!!!!!!!!! Get there if you havent been there.

Scams you out your money. Will say there’s hookah just to get you to buy a ticket when there’s not, will pretend someone is performing knowing they won’t show up, will have a bottle menu but will be all out of your top 4. Girl with the fakest blue contacts a man has seen and tight curly hair trying to invite herself to our place after, we don’t want your “services” outside of the club. The list goes on.

Prior to visiting, I checked their website and Facebook page to see whether or not Id need cash for a cover charge. Upon arrival we discovered we needed $20 cash for two of us to get in. We walked to the closest ATM (about 5 minutes away) and it was was broken. Since it was 20 degrees out, and we werent wearing coats -- we opted to head home. I cant really rate the club other than to say, the staff at the front door seemed nice.

When you think PRIDE event, what is the first thing you think of. I think of acceptance, I think of drag, I think of illusion, I think of rainbows, drink specials, a step up, fun. To anyone who knew the original space WallStreet Night Club, if you are going to try and use this name and call it a Wall Street Reunion, you better bring it or face the music from all of us who remember WallStreet, the drag, the illusion, the techno and the rock, and bring what WALL STREET represented for so many LGBTQUIA community which was safety, fun, and thee best times of our lives, amazing live acts, a fun atmosphere, the BEST OF THE BEST cocktails created by CHRISTINA B (the best mixologist in Columbus) and amazing second level. To Call it a WallStreet Reunion is a slap in the face, its a play on a nostalgic era, that you knew nothing about. You didnt bring it, you didnt study the history of the WallStreet Night Club, if you did you would have encompassed more of the WallStreet vibe and less the FORUM vibe; you would have transformed your club to be that safe, fun & exciting place, that we all remember. WallStreet was not velvet coaches and roped off areas, WallStreet was not bottle-service, Wallstreet was not $10 cocktails served in 4 ounce plastic cups, that are subpar and nothing like what the should be. WallStreet was covered in everything Rainbow and for a Fall Pride Event you did not have one Rainbow anything, to embrace the PRIDE culture, you must be able to find its unique diversity and not be embarrassed to embrace it. Charging a $10 cover, with subpar sippy cup drinks, no drag, no talent, roped off areas, no where to sit your drink now where to hang out, no music from the days of WallStreet, Nothing welcoming, rude staff, that isnt WALL STREET and that isnt PRIDE, step up and do better or dont use the name, because its DISGRACEFUL!!

Saw Cheat codes on a Thursday. The Club is small and kind of dump in my opinion.Bar ran out of certain beer. The Mens restrooms had a ton of water on the floor. I would not go there again.

Do not go to this location they will scam you for your money. Paid two tickets for an event the artist never showed and they still do not want to reimburse me for my tickets. I’ve called multiple times but no one seems to respond worst service ever

Decent event space. Saw Raheem devaughn there and he was 3 hours late. Although I’m sure that is not the venues fault, it was still annoying. The sound system wasn’t that good either, a lot of people sitting in the balcony seats said it sounded muffled.....drinks were good though and reasonably priced.Update:Just found out Raheem was supposed to go on at midnight. So the Forum needs to be clearer on their advertising and tickets as to what time the entertainment is supposed to start. I’m sure half the people in there would not have purchased tickets, knowing the concert was going to start so late. It was clear that the energy in the room was starting to go down after waiting so long for him to come on stage

Sometimes the upstairs is open, other times its not. If the GM sees this, its time to mop the floors. Dancing isnt fun if your feet stick to the ground.
