Buckeye Bourbon House
Get in the mood for this year’s Kentucky Derby – this Saturday – by sipping on a Mint Julep or two at Buckeye Bourbon House. Located at 36 E. Gay St., this bar also offers an impressive selection of food, from poached pear to Southern sliders.
Chili Verde
Polaris’ Chili Verde Cafe boldly combines Native American, Spanish and Anglo flavors to keep customers on their toes. Wash down a BBQ quesadilla or Mahi Mahi tacos with icy margaritas, all on the restaurant’s brand-new patio.
Dos Hermanos
Dos Hermanos has multiple locations around Columbus, including both North Market locales, meaning its authentic Mexican food is never too far away. Seekers of spice can order the Camarones a La Diabla, which includes grilled shrimp slathered in tomato sauce, rice and corn tortillas.
Watch
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, yet another chapter in Marvel’s ongoing fifth phase, is hitting theaters Friday.

But increasingly high stakes might just implode the group from within.

Read
Described as “a tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder” on its cover, The Wager is David Grann’s latest and possibly greatest work. The book explores a vehement, he-said-she-said conflict between British sailors in the late 1700s; currently, it sits at No. 1 on the New York Times Combined Print & E-book Nonfiction list.
