Rooftop Powell $$$
Lani Rooftop Lounge
Beef skewers on a Powell rooftop, labeled as a stretch pick for nights when downtown is too far.

Why Lani Rooftop Lounge why was this picked
We ordered the beef skewers upstairs and treated Lani as a Powell night out, not a plated steakhouse dinner. The rooftop works when Powell is home and downtown is a drive too far. Stretch pick, said out loud: you come for beef and a view, not a classic ribeye service.

Know before you go
We order the beef skewers at Lani Rooftop Lounge when Powell is home and downtown is a drive too far. The third-floor room is shareable plates and cocktails with a skyline view, not a white-tablecloth steakhouse dinner. Plan for $$$ pricing and a night-out pace rather than a quick family meal after 7:00 p.m.
Public hours run Wednesday through Thursday 4:00 to 10:00 p.m. and Friday through Saturday until 11:00 p.m.; Tuesday is closed and Sunday to Monday are events only. After 7:00 p.m. the rooftop is 21 and older. Use valet or the posted auxiliary lots while construction limits the main lot. Start with our Powell page for the surrounding blocks. Then compare beef options on our best steaks in Columbus list.
- Parking
- The 50 E. Olentangy lot is limited during construction; use Premier valet Wednesday to Saturday 5:00 to 10:00 p.m., COhatch lots at 80 E. Olentangy or 35 N. Liberty ($10), or the public lot at 44 N. Liberty; do not park in the Local Roots lot across Olentangy.
