About Big Room Bar

Big Room Bar was an intimate live-music venue located at 1036 S Front St in Columbus, Ohio. Known for its connection to CD102.5/CD102.5, the venue hosted standout local and touring acts in a roughly 200-person setting. While the building is now slated for demolition and redevelopment, this page preserves essential details about its location, accessibility, and the surrounding hospitality options for visitors exploring the Columbus downtown scene.

Geographically, the venue sits along the Scioto River corridor, in the Marsh District area near downtown Columbus. While no longer operational for events, the site’s history remains a notable chapter in Columbus’ live-music tapestry, including CD102.5 opening Big Room Bar in 2015 and the CD92.9 Farewell Fest in January 2024.
