Papa Joe's Patch Hat

Were you stumbling around High Street back in the day? Before they burned down the most epic, beloved Columbus/O.S.U. watering hole…Papa Joe’s? If you were a patron, you were part of a special era indeed. Before the “improvement” of High Street, there were classic joints like “PJs”, the Oar House, Mean Mr. Mustards, Park Alley, Crazy Mama’s. But Papa Joe’s stands alone in Columbus lore. Maybe it was the Kegs & Eggs on game days, or the goal post that stood inside (after some helpful patrons ushered it back after the epic 1985 OSU/Iowa game. Too many stories to tell about the antics and craziness over the years on High Street…many marriages were started there as well as lifelong friends and some foggy memories, too!
