Photos of The Light of Seven Matchsticks Columbus

The Light of Seven Matchsticks is a 1920s-themed subterranean speakeasy inspired by Wes Anderson that serves handmade drinks and small appetizers. What we like about it: The Light of Seven Matchsticks has the atmosphere of a bygone period. This speakeasy takes it to a new level, from the luxurious velvet décor to the hidden menu you must locate before ordering. What to get at this bar: Nor in my circus, not with my monkeys. Yes, it is the actual name of the drink! It contains Overproof Rum, Smith & Cross, lemon, cinnamon, and demerara sugar. In Great Mythologies, the Heroes’ adventures begin with a summons to experience, and they must leave their usual surroundings. Dr. Joseph Campbell describes this other realm as a Kingdom Underground, a Profound Dream State. 

Tonight, they want you to run away with them, escape the commonplace, defy convention, leave your inhibitions at the door, and explore that other realm by the Light of Seven Matchsticks. “Cocktail for a Cause” is available. Among them are tequila, lychee, Blue Curacao, citrus, and spice. To promote reproductive choice, $3 from each drink sold is contributed to Planned Parenthood. They hold an Industry Night regularly. Every Sunday, if you’re in the business, which includes artists, you receive free popcorn all night, 10% off, and $2 snaquiris. Standup From the Waist Up has returned! You are cordially welcomed to The Light of Seven Matchsticks for an exclusive drink and comedy event! Host Travis Hoewischer and his guests Mary Santora and Pat Deering sling drinks and quips from behind the bar.
