Rooftop Arena District $$$$
Astra
Park Street rooftop dining above the Arena District for skyline nights and shareable spectacle plates with cocktails. Worth planning around.
Awards
Why Astra why was this picked
We ordered shareable plates and cocktails with the Arena District skyline as the backdrop. The room photographs like a destination without reading as a hotel lobby. It suits group nights in the Arena District when the view and the table both have to work. It is a practical Columbus pick we would send a friend to without hedging.
- Rooftop energy with Arena District views
- Cocktails and shareable plates for groups
- Destination room, not a hotel lobby
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.
