72. KICK BACK WITH A SHRUB AT TILL DYNAMIC FARE
247 King Ave.. Victorian Village

The inventive food and drinks at Till are unlike any other in Columbus. We're especially fond of the fruit- and herb-spiked shrubs, vinegar-based nonalcoholic beverages that date back to colonial days. Tempered with a little sweetness, these are the perfect refreshers on a hot day.
