Why Astra why was this picked
Astra Rooftop is run by One Hospitality, and its rooms above Park Street can be booked whole for weddings, receptions, corporate dinners and private parties, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the city. The website offers a 3D tour of the space before you book. Event menus let a host choose plated entrees such as shrimp diavolo, cacio e pepe gnocchi, lobster mac and cheese or Chilean sea bass. On Saturdays and Sundays the doors open at 2 p.m., earlier than the 4 p.m. weekday start.
- Whole-room private events above Park Street
- 3D tour of the space online
- Weekend doors open at 2 p.m.
Know before you go
We book Astra when the Arena District skyline is part of the reason for the table. Order shareable plates and a steak from the Spanish-inspired menu, and plan for special-occasion pricing with cocktails. The rooftop suits group nights and date nights that want a view without a hotel-lobby feel.
Hours run Monday through Thursday 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday until 1:00 a.m., Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., and Sunday 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with happy hour Monday through Friday 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Reservations are recommended, and Friday through Sunday expects business casual or golf attire. Use Park Street valet or nearby garages in the Arena District. Compare it on our best steaks in Columbus list if you are weighing rooftop beef against a classic grill room.
