The Tail Gate Club

The Tailgate Club is an Ohio State-themed event center in Heath, Ohio, just outside of Columbus, comfortably fitting up to 225 guests for birthday parties, graduations, wedding receptions, retirement parties, corporate events, and football watch parties. The space includes comfortable seating, retro booths, and bar seating, with a hardwood floor refinished by the venue's owners as part of the original renovation. Rental includes tables, chairs, parking, and Wi-Fi, with no hidden service charges. Hosts are free to bring their own caterers or vendors and can dress the space up or down with their own decorations, or lean into the venue's existing Ohio State decor for a built-in party theme. The Tailgate Club is owned by Phil and Lee Manogg, longtime residents of the Heath and Newark area who purchased and renovated the building themselves.
