The Rumba Café (not the Rhumba) is one of Columbus’s newest live music club. They feature a healthy dose jazz and Latin jazz, along with an assortment of alt country, funk, rock, and soul — seven nights a week. Regular favorites include the legendary Hoo Doo Soul Band and The Spikedrivers.
The Rumba mixes it up during the week and weekend with early “matinée” show starting at about 6pm and running until about 9pm. The late show starts an hour later and runs until 2am.
As Nick Chordas of the Columbus Dispatch put it, “The decor is eclectic and the atmosphere warm and inviting — not unlike a friendly local joint you wander into while on vacation.” Come in, kick back, and get away from it all.
Extended reviews and descriptions of the club can be found here and here.
