Victory Lap Columbus is the new home base for Buckeye fans who bleed Scarlet & Gray year-round.

We’re bringing the game-day spirit and late-night energy that made Victory Lap a tradition to Ohio State in the heart of Columbus. Wall-to-wall TVs, ice-cold beers, DJ-fueled weekends, and the kind of crowd that turns every “O-H” into a full-throttle “I-O.”

From the roar of the Shoe to the madness of March, Buckeye Nation runs through Victory Lap. It’s where the Buckeyes rally, alumni return, and every win feels like a championship.​ The kind of pregame energy that keeps going long after the final whistle. Victory Lap is your new home base for football Saturdays, late-night hangs, and everything in between.

Every campus has a sports bar, but only Columbus gets a Victory Lap.
