Location and Transportation

Venue Address

A&R Music Bar

391 Neil Avenue

Columbus, Ohio 43215

Located in downtown Columbus within the lively Arena District, the venue sits amid restaurants, bars, and other major entertainment destinations.

• Parking: Multiple parking garages and surface lots are available throughout the Arena District; rates vary by event and location.
• Public Transit: Accessible via COTA bus lines serving downtown Columbus.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup/dropoff is available along Neil Avenue and in designated Arena District areas.

Arrival Recommendations

Arrive 30–60 minutes before showtime to secure your preferred spot for general admission and allow time for parking, entry, and a pre-show drink. This window also helps you beat peak lines if you’re aiming for the front-of-stage rail.

Weather won’t affect your night—A&R Music Bar is an indoor venue—but it’s smart to account for downtown traffic and popular Arena District events. If you’re using public transit via COTA or a rideshare drop-off on Neil Avenue, build in a few extra minutes to navigate the bustling neighborhood.

Parking garages and lots are nearby, and the district is highly walkable with minimal elevation. If you plan to grab food before the show, arrive a bit earlier to enjoy one of the many nearby restaurants and still make it to the room in time for the opening act. For A and R Music Bar events that draw larger crowds, arriving on the earlier side of the window is your best move.

Venue Navigation

The venue’s straightforward, open floorplan makes it easy to navigate between the stage, bar, and merchandise areas. You’ll find bar service for drinks and typical music bar concessions, plus merch tables for most shows.

Because it’s primarily standing room, comfortable footwear is a smart call—especially if you plan to stand near the stage. Restrooms and exits are clearly marked, and the Arena District setting makes post-show meetups simple just outside the venue.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check the official venue website prior to your event for the most current bag policy.
• Prohibited Items: Check the official venue website for a complete, up-to-date list of prohibited items.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 30–60 minutes early for the best GA viewing spots near the stage.
• If you want easy access to drinks, choose a viewing area closer to the bar along the perimeter.

Pre-Event Planning

Make an evening of it in the Arena District—arrive early to dine nearby and stroll the neighborhood before doors. With KEMBA Live! and The Basement next door, you’re steps from a concentrated hub of Columbus live music, which keeps the streets lively and the pre-show energy high.

Coordinate with friends by choosing a clear meetup point on Neil Avenue or outside the venue entrance, especially if you’re aiming for a coveted rail spot. For A and R Music Bar events, a quick plan about where to stand—front rail, center floor, or near the bar—helps your group stick together once the room fills.

Accessibility

A&R Music Bar is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in nearby Arena District garages and lots. For accessible seating or accommodations inside the venue, contact the venue directly in advance to discuss available options.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options
