What do a disco ball, colorful bar waterfall and "art menu" have in common? They exist, albeit harmoniously, at Light Columbus, a dance club-cum-restaurant that can be a lot of things to many people. By day, it's a full-service eatery with widely spaced tables, two bars and ever-changing art on the walls (you can actually purchase the art). By night, it evolves into a sound-and-light spectacular that packs in folks of all ages looking to strut their stuff. The open, two-story design and supersize floor allow plenty of room to move freely without knocking into people. All this is lubricated by an extensive menu of martinis and specialty libations, as well as several beers on tap for those who'd rather not pony up $8 to $9 for mixed drinks. Expect to dress to impress -- tennis shoes, ripped jeans, "hoodies," and other unspiffy attire may leave you smarting even before you set foot inside. But if you look sloppy, you might end up being a wallflower anyway.

A light in the bathroom
By fngytrss on 05/25/2009
This place was great a few years ago. When it switched to the fine dining establishment it was still decent just had most of the fun sucked out of it. At least there were still attractive people going there. Since it reopened as light it has been spiraling downward. The staff is unfriendly,a few too heavy to be in a "club" and there were no pretty people working or attending. I miss the wild days of Azure and the friendliness of taboo. Light has become a haven for PWT and those not pretty enough to get in at the big league clubs. Avoid this place like it had an ugly disease.

A lot of good memories for me
By Maryearlsgirl41 on 05/17/2009
I've been going there for when it was first Light Columbus. I've met my boyfriend there and we've been going together for 3 years. We've been going there when they were Azura and Taboo and then back to Light. It was really a shame that they are gone for good. But the best thing that came out of Light was meeting my boyfriend. I just don't understand why when there's a new club that it doesn't last that long. What kind of town is Columbus? If I had the money I'd move to Chicago. I heard that the night clubs are better than here. Columbus what a cowtown. People don't know how to have a good time. Where's the next party??????

The Dark and the Boring
By AZ Gator 54 on 04/13/2009
I've been there three times since it came back from the dead -- really, this place doesn't rate any higher than any other zombie flick. I'm not sure it has an identity -- not sure who it's trying to cater to -- other than anyone who'll come in. Evidently it doesn't get busy till late -- I hung out till 11 and that was enough for me. The crowd is sparse for sure and I don't know what they can do to get them back. This is not a happening place. While it's back to being The Light, it's not a beacon for anyone.

No more light
By MILANELLO68 on 03/29/2009
This place is gone 4 good, they made $$$ for a year and half in 2005 then it changed hands 3 times (i happen to know all the owners). Then a new kid with parents' money tried brining it to life again and renamed it Light in Nov 2008 with the help of the few who thought they were up to it, it went bust in a few. True about the unfriendly people in there.
