The Tree House (formerly "Andyman's Treehouse") is a cozy neighborhood bar/ live music venue just southwest of the Ohio State University campus. It can hold about 125 people comfortably.

It was built around a tree decades ago and has had a long history of providing a great place to have a beer or three and hear some great live music.

The Tree House features live music of all styles (both national and local) four or five nights a week, including the best open mic night in town every Wednesday night (hosted by Joe Peppercorn).

DIRECTIONS:

We are located at 887 Chambers Rd. Columbus, OH From Olentangy River Road, go west on King Avenue. Turn right at Pereco Alley, and follow the alley to the bar. It's on your right in the alley. Heading east on King Avenue, you would turn left onto Pereco Alley (shortly after King Avenue 5). It's hard to find, but it's harder to leave.

Parking: Parking is available along the fence in front of the door, across the alley at Haslett Heating and Cooling's lot, the smaller lot adjacent to that, or in the lot in front of the garages. Please respect our neighbors' property. If you absolutely need to leave your car overnight, ask the staff for directions. Or, you can plan ahead and walk.

"As with everything worth seeing in Ohio, you won't stumble upon it... Somebody will take you to this stack of cinder blocks at the corner of two alleys. You'll think it looks like your drunk uncle's rumpus room -- if your drunk uncle had a fifty-foot, hundred-year-old silver maple growing out of his floor and up through the ceiling. The trunk is ten feet around and strung with Christmas lights. Not one word is carved into the bark. The beer's cheap, so you'll order High Lifes two at a time. Then you'll plant yourself next to the tree. Both of you right at home."
