Why Arch City Tavern why was this picked

Arch City Tavern on North High Street grinds short rib, sirloin, chuck and brisket into a house blend for its Arch City Burger, topped with peppered bacon, avocado, Muenster, grilled onion, cilantro and chile aioli for $18. A bison burger uses hand-ground bison with goat cheese. Burger Monday sets a burger special at $10 all day, weekday happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. halves drafts and wine by the glass, and the tavern stays open until 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. A twenty-foot pencil mural shows the old Columbus arches.
