Netflix dropped Love Is Blind: Columbus and suddenly our city was the real main character (sorry, contestants). From iconic landmarks to lowkey gems, the show spotlighted some seriously cool places around Central Ohio.

But here’s the real question…

If Columbus itself was competing for love, which of these spots would get the final rose?

I ranked the 10 best places featured on Love Is Blind in Columbus based on vibes, uniqueness, date-night potential, and pure Columbus pride.

Let’s get into it.

Ranking the Best Columbus Locations Featured on Netflix’s Love Is Blind

If you’ve been binge watching Love Is Blind Season 10 and yelling, “WAIT, I KNOW THAT PLACE” or “HOW HAVE I NEVER BEEN THERE,” this one’s for you.

Here are the best Columbus locations featured on Love Is Blind, ranked with love (but not blindly).

10. High Line Car House

📍 550 S High St., Columbus, OH

Is it a spot you casually pop into on a random Tuesday? No.

Is it an absolutely stunning event venue? Yes.

With exposed brick, massive windows, wood ceilings, and industrial charm, High Line Car House feels like someone plucked a Brooklyn warehouse and gently placed it in Columbus. It’s moody. It’s romantic. It’s dramatic in the best way.

It’s not everyday accessible, but when it shows up on screen, it represents Columbus extremely well.

9. Pickle & Chill

📍 880 W Henderson Rd, Columbus, OH

As the largest dedicated indoor and outdoor pickleball facility in the Midwest, Pickle & Chill understood the pickleball boom before half of us knew how to hold a paddle.

The courts are great. The vibe is even better. It’s competitive without being toxic. There’s a bar. There are lounge spaces. You could spend an entire afternoon here and forget you had other responsibilities.

Love may be blind, but pickleball players absolutely see you stepping over that kitchen line.

8. The Golf Room

📍 6615 Dublin Center, Dublin, OH

Full disclosure: I love golf. Deeply. Possibly concerningly.

But even if you don’t, The Golf Room is one of the coolest low pressure ways to get into the sport. High tech simulators. Coaching. A space that makes golf feel accessible instead of intimidating.

If someone took me here on a date, I’d immediately assume they were serious about life. And also about their handicap. Probably more about their handicap now that I think of it…

7. Columbus Glass Art Center

📍 892 Scott St, Columbus, OH

You can literally play with fire here. That’s a strong start.

The Columbus Glass Art Center lets you learn how to blow glass, which feels wildly intimidating until you realize how supportive and cool the instructors are. And if your creation looks like a melted ornament that lost a fight, there’s a gift shop where you can quietly pivot.

Creative. Unique. Unexpected. A very strong “let’s do something different” date spot.

6. Three Creeks Kitchen + Cocktails

📍 258 Granville St., Gahanna, OH

Three Creeks might be the most underrated restaurant on this list.

While everyone fights for reservations in trendier neighborhoods, this Gahanna gem just keeps quietly crushing it. Juicy steaks. Legit seafood. Elevated comfort food that never misses.

Shoutout to Love Is Blind for putting some respect on their name.

5. Brioso Coffee Bar

📍 329 E Long St., Columbus, OH

Brioso is that insanely talented little sibling who never got quite enough attention because the older siblings were louder.

And no shade to Stauf’s or One Line. They’re awesome. But Brioso’s coffee is elite, and their brick and mortar space is one of the coziest downtown. Thoughtful roasting. Beautiful design. Zero ego.

Seeing them featured felt like watching your friend finally get the recognition they deserve.

4. Otherworld

📍 5819 Chantry Dr., Columbus, OH

Otherworld could have easily become gimmicky. It hasn’t.

Every time you step inside, it’s sensory overload in the best way possible. Interactive art. Immersive rooms. Lights and sounds that make you feel like you accidentally entered another dimension.

It’s, like, art… but trippier, man (read that like The Dude from The Big Lebowski and it’ll land correctly).

For a reality dating show built on emotional chaos, this backdrop makes perfect sense.

3. The Mohicans Treehouse Resort

📍 21716 Gessling Rd., Glenmont, OH

If you want secluded, romantic, “let’s escape the world for a minute” energy, this is it.

The Mohicans Treehouse Resort feels like something you’d find deep in the Smoky Mountains, not a quick drive from Columbus. Cozy treehouses tucked into the canopy. Rustic but elevated. Peaceful but memorable.

It’s one of the most unique getaway spots in Ohio, and it absolutely earns its podium spot.

2. Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

📍 4850 W Powell Rd., Powell, OH

What can you even say about the Columbus Zoo that hasn’t already been said?

It’s consistently ranked among the best zoos in the country. The exhibits keep improving. The experiences are immersive year round.

There is something wildly wholesome about a zoo date. It lowers defenses. It sparks conversation. It gives you built in talking points when things get awkward (as long as we all pretend like we don’t see the two goats mating in the corner)…

Plus, if a relationship can survive navigating a crowded zoo on a Saturday, it can survive anything.

1. Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

📍 1777 E Broad St., Columbus, OH

This place just hits.

The Franklin Park Conservatory is one of those spots that makes you proud to live here. Lush gardens. Seasonal exhibits. Chihuly glass installations glowing at night. Blooms and Butterflies that make winter feel far away, even for a moment.

It’s romantic without trying too hard. It’s stunning in every season. It photographs beautifully. It feels intentional.

If Columbus had to hand out a final rose, this is where it would go.

And yes, we know the final rose reference is for The Bachelor. We just don’t care.

Honorable Mentions from Love Is Blind: Columbus

Hocking Valley Scenic Railway

📍 346 Railroad St., Nelsonville, OH

If you love trains, this is your moment. Seasonal rides. Fall foliage. Polar Express vibes in the winter.

You’ll see beautiful nature… and some classic Appalachian industry along the way. That’s just the Rust Belt charm.

The Ohio State University

📍 1739 N High St, Columbus, OH (Ohio Union)

My alma mater. Forever in my heart.

Yes, it’s massive. Yes, it’s iconic. Yes, it shaped a huge part of my life. It lands as an honorable mention here mostly because this ranking is focused on date worthy, experience driven locations. Plus, well, Ohio State’s PR as of late has been questionable to say the least…

But OSU showing up on Love Is Blind? That’s just good television.

Why Love Is Blind Filming in Columbus Is So Cool

Seeing Love Is Blind highlight Columbus locations isn’t just fun for locals who love pointing at the TV.

It showcases that Central Ohio has depth. Culture. Creativity. Romance. Weirdness. Nature. Sports. Food. Art.

We’re not a flyover city. We’re a “wait… this place is actually awesome” city.

And if this season did anything, it proved that Columbus is very, very dateable.

Now I need to know…
