Want to go out to eat on New Years Eve or New Years Day? There are plenty of restaurants open for New Years in Columbus. You’ll find that most restaurants are open for New Year’s Eve, but many require reservations are have special menus during dinner service.
New Years Eve is one of the busiest nights in the industry, so I’ve included some suggestions for celebrating the night. Many will book up by mid-December, and may require a reservation hold with a credit card for New Years Eve. We also have a list of over 30 New Years Eve Parties and Celebrations for all budgets – starting at FREE, and including a few family-friendly options!
I’d love to know which places are your favorite to dine on New Years Eve!
