Brothers Drake Meadery

26 E. 5th Avenue

Columbus, Ohio 43201

Hosted by Waves de Ache! 8:30-10pm every Wednesday.

Brothers Drake is Columbus’ first Meadery located at 26 E. 5th Avenue in Weinland Park, a neighborhood of the University District and the Short North Arts District. If you’re not familiar, mead is wine made from honey. More poetically, mead is the drink of the gods, cherished from the time of the Pharaohs to the Emperors of China. Woody and Eric Drake started making mead in 1994 and after winning numerous home-brew awards, the idea of forming a business took hold. Brothers Drake opened in 2008 and moved to 26 E. 5th Avenue to increase production and connect more people together around mead, art, music, and community!

Brothers Drake is open seven days a week for tasting flights, glasses of mead, mead bottle sales, and a gourmet honeywine adventure. The space includes an art gallery with music, video and art shows. Food trucks will park outside the building on most evenings for those that get hungry.

Brothers Drake is a proud supporter of local and traveling musicians to their venue. Jazz performances are a regular occurrence here along with a wide variety of other musical styles. The cozy interior and hip ambiance along side great local music, art and people, make a visit to Brothers Drake a must.

Vaughn Wiester’s Famous Jazz Orchestra is made up of 21 of central Ohio’s finest musicians who have come together every Monday evening on a semi-informal basis since 1997. They share their love of jazz playing their favorite big band charts. For fans, this is an opportunity to hear the sounds of Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Count Basie, and other great bands. Occasionally there are guest instrumental or vocal artists, or guest arrangers conducting their own arrangements. Many nationally known arrangers have been commissioned to write for the Famous Jazz Orchestra, including Bill Holman, Herb Harrison, Slide Hampton, Lennie Niehaus, Bill Dobbins, Paul Ferguson and Al Kiger.

Members of the orchestra have played with orchestras of Glenn Miller, Guy Lombardo, Woody Herman, Mel Lewis, Tommy Dorsey, Ralph Marterie, and Buddy Rich, as well as with Columbus bands including those of Al Waslohn, Doc Everhart, Bruno Masdea, Chuck Selby, Rick Brunetto, and with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. Many members have been on local university jazz faculties.

For twelve years the orchestra played at the Columbus Music Hall downtown on Oak St., and then for three years at The Maennerchor on S. High St. Since the summer of 2011 they have been playing at The Clintonville Woman’s Club, 3951 North High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43214 (just north of the Park of Roses), 614-268-5525, every Monday night from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Come and go as you wish. Cost is just $10 for adults and $5 for students, with ample parking. Snacks and setups are sold, and you may BYOB. There is both table seating and row chairs.

The orchestra’s website is FamousJazzOrchestra.com.

Vaughn is a former university jazz instructor, a jazz arranger, and former trombonist with the Woody Herman orchestra. He has arranged for Woody, for the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, and for Terry Waldo’s Ragtime Orchestra. His voluminous library of jazz charts and CDs is one of the largest in the United States. In February 2012 he was selected to give the pre-concert lecture for Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra’s Stan Kenton Centennial Concert. Monday nights are not an event to dance with the orchestra, but rather a chance to enjoy wonderful jazz listening in a congenial setting. (The orchestra is, however, available for social events for an exorbitant fee! Call 614-263-4014 anytime.)

"The One and Only" Dick's Den is one of the oldest and most famous jazz bars in Columbus.

Long regarded as one of the top destinations for fine dining in Central Ohio, The Refectory Restaurant & Bistro celebrated 40 years in business in 2016. In 2012, The Refectory began to host music events in its upstairs private Choir Room. They began with a Jazz Dinner Club format with a front and center performance, rather than “background music.” The restaurant only hosted six events that first year, but now has grown to include many types of musical performances including the Jazz Dinner Club, Chamber Music Series, Opera Columbus and more. They now host an average of six jazz events per month in what many call Columbus’ most intimate jazz dinner club! Their jazz series regularly features Columbus greats like Tony Monaco and Bobby Floyd, and on occasion Byron Stripling, Phil Clark, SpeakEasy, and many more, as well as up-and-coming touring acts.

Each jazz event features a special four-course dinner served with the live performance. With the special nature of these concerts, there are guidelines that the audience should be aware of. Seating is limited, so please call 614-451-9774 for reservations. Guests may arrive between 5:30 to 5:45. The first two or three courses will be served between 6:00 and 7:00, and the concert performance begins at 7:00.
