Lumin Sky Bar

517 Park St, Columbus, OH 43215

Lumin Sky Bar is a major hit due to its stellar rooftop dining with panoramic views of the Columbus skyline. With the temperatures dropping, rooftop dining may not sound like the most appealing or realistic thing. Lucky for us, the igloos at Lumin are space-heated and come with fluffy blankets to keep ya warm. Take your pick between the fire-themed (hosts 8) or ice-themed igloos (hosts 6) and contact Lumin Sky Bar to reserve your spot! Details about pricing will be provided upon contact with Lumin.
