Live music

Welcome to the web site of the Rumba Café, Columbus's hottest live music club.

We feature jazz, Latin, alt country, funk, rock, and soul — seven nights a week. The Hoo Doo Soul Band and The Spikedrivers are regular favorites. Check out our band schedule on the Music Schedule page.

In addition to our regular late show, we also have an early show several nights a week. Read about our early shows on the About Us page.

We're open Monday thru Sunday 'til 2:30am. Happy hour is 5-9pm weekdays. You'll find us north of the OSU campus area at Hudson and Summit. See the Contact Us page for directions.

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.
