Tufted chairs, the clink of glasses, murmur of guests, and walls with 100 years of stories surround you when you’re a member of Good Night Investments’ private clubs around Columbus. Access to both clubs (with a new one opening soon) provides you with “a home for the world’s doers to gather and belong”.
Both 80 East Powell and 114 West Main, owned and operated by Gretchen Bonasera, boast unique cocktails, custom dishes, and an atmosphere that stands in direct opposition to our often lonely digital world. “The importance of in-person experiences,” explains Gretchen, “will never be replaced by technology.”
Unlike posh restaurants, where the model is to turn over as many customers as possible, these clubs are “based on the experience rather than the transaction,” which explains why their mantra is “relax and stay as long as you like.”
So relax into this signature cocktail of theirs and imagine what a membership to these clubs might offer you.
80 East & 114 West Buckeye Old Fashioned
- 2oz scratch-made peanut butter infused bourbon (see recipe)

Peanut Butter Bourbon recipe
- 1 bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon (750mL)
- 1/2 cup of natural salted peanut butter (the runny stuff)
Mix the peanut butter into the bourbon and let sit for 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
Let the peanut butter settle and then place it in the freezer overnight.
Gravity strain through a coffee filter when you're ready for your Old Fashioned treat.
