03/21/2026 - First time visiting The Oracle for a birthday party with some acquaintances and friends for a friend. Nice elongated bar that is visible when you enter that provides a nice variety of top of the shelf liquor, and same mixed cocktails, and drafts. There is some seating available, on the other side of the bar there is a dance space that comes alive as the evening progresses. Thank you DJ. Tight and free street parking nearby. Enjoy.

I’m from out of town and stopped into Oracle Bar for a couple drinks—such a great find. The space is absolutely lovely, with a cozy, speakeasy feel and the cutest details (the plants in the windows really make it feel warm and inviting).
The bartenders were incredibly attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience feel effortless and relaxed. It’s the kind of place you stumble into and immediately wish you had back home. Sam, Henry, Ben,...read full review
Amazing must visit spot when in Columbus. The drinks are on point and has a dark speakeasy vibe. We will be back next time we’re in Columbus!!

The Oracle is a unique cocktail bar in Old Town East, known for its one-of-a-kind atmosphere. The staff is praised for their exceptional service, and the establishment is known for its occult atmosphere, where it smells like old books. The backyard and fire pit are popular features, and the Old Fashioned is a top-notch drink. The bar can get loud, but the overall energy is fantastic. During warmer months, the backyard is a must-visit.
Customers love the variety of drinks and the large outdoor patio area. The bar features a DJ spinning tunes, although the dancing area can be small. The atmosphere and service are great, with bartenders mixing up creative cocktails. The bar has a dive bar feel but is also known for hosting live music events. Customers have described the place as a "complete gem" with an above-average drink menu and a comfortable, artsy vibe.
