I prefer low key places, dives, anywhere with a decent beer list. I'll check these out.
Map Room on West 9th is the place. Can get a little packed though depending on the night so maybe not "low key". Has been less packed recently with all the construction in the Warehouse District and everyone going to Ohio City. Short walk from the Hyatt. Just cut through the trash in Public Square and then through the beautiful parking lot smack in the middle of downtown where a building should be.
If you want to go over to Ohio City where all the cool kids go nowadays ABC Tavern is a cool dive type bar that is different from the new cosmopolitan scene they're trying to build there. But there's a lot of hipster-types.
If you're interested in getting in a cab to go to some dives;
Harbor Inn in the flats is also the epitome of dive bar and a hop skip and a jump away from Christie's/Larry Flynts if that's your thing.
Hoopples is a sweet Union Dive Bar in an obscure location on Columbus Rd. but tough to get to from where you're staying kind of since they're working on the bridge you need to cross to get to it.
If I were you; Happy Hour/Eat at Nauti Mermaid or Johnny's Little Bar on West 6th...Map Room...Dive Bar later on to try to find some strange at the end of the night. All in walking distance.
