Who we are

The Bottom Shelf Society is a distinguished order devoted to the time-honored tradition of gathering in Columbus’ most gloriously unpolished establishments. Founded on the belief that real connection isn’t forged in polished boardrooms but under neon beer signs and over the hum of jukebox classics, our society brings together people of ambition, wit, and intentionally questionable taste.

We meet monthly in these sanctuaries of character—where the floors are sticky, the drinks are cheap, and the conversations are anything but. Participation is unofficial, invitations are unspoken, and membership is reserved only for those bold enough to embrace the prestige of the unpretentious.

In a world obsessed with appearances, we proudly raise a glass to the bottom shelf.

Pinkies up.
