Yogi's Bar & Grill will open its fifth location Oct. 15 in new territory for the local chain.
It's expanding eastward with its latest sports bar, into the renovated former home of Turtle Creek Tavern, 5571 N. Hamilton Road, which closed in December. Until now, Yogi's has had a western focus in central Ohio, with two bars in Dublin and others near Grandview Heights and Upper Arlington.
On North Hamilton Road, between Gahanna and New Albany on Columbus' Northeast Side, Yogi's will have 4,000 square feet of space inside and a year-round outdoor patio with its own bar. Sixty TVs are viewable throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The bar's food menu, revamped for fall, includes sports bar standards such as chicken wings, burgers, pizzas, salads
and sandwiches. Among the more unique options are pepperoni eggrolls, a buffalo mac and cheese bowl topped with spicy chicken tenders and blue cheese crumbles, and a hoagie with beef tenderloin tips and sautéed mushrooms and onions.
Yogi's is owned by Columbus Tavern Group, the company that's also behind Novak's Tavern & Patio in downtown Columbus and The Filling Station Bar & Grill on the Far Northwest Side.
