The Ringside Cafe is the oldest restaurant that has been operating under the same name in Columbus. This boxing-themes burger joint located right in the center of downtown offers a fun, cozy, and delicious nook to hide from the hustle and bustle of the city and have a truly mind-blowing dinner.

The Ringside Cafe opened in 1837 and is located at 19 N Pearl St., Columbus, OH 43215. It's small place, sitting in the middle of the block between East Gay, East Broad, and North High. While cozy, the place is charming, with wonderful details and historic memorabilia.
The place underwent some renovation in 2008, but it's kept its charm.

The dining area was improved with some fresh paint and new tables and chairs. The downstairs party and meeting area was renovated as well. The famous delicious burgers got some remaking as well. They still have the same great names, and now they're even more delicious.
The menu is divided into Lightweights, Welterweights, and Heavyweights.
