A new restaurant is preparing to revive this space in downtown Columbus

A new restaurant is coming to downtown Columbus.

Full Tilt Noodle Bar is replacing the former Simple Greek, which closed last year, at 1228 Broadway.

Signage for Full Tilt is on the building. Renovation was ongoing when the Ledger-Enquirer visited Monday.

An application for an alcoholic beverage license has been filed for the location. The applicant is Garrett Lawrence, according to city records.

Lawrence, alongside business partners Robert Battle, Miles Greathouse and Chad Scrimpshire, also owns Columbus restaurants Jarfly, Malititude, Ray’s Quickstop, Nonic and, most recently, Super Regular.

An opening date has not been announced as of publication. Representatives from Full Tilt Noodle Bar did not respond to the Ledger-Enquirer’s request for comment
