The restaurant chain shared the closure announcement and a note of gratitude for the community. They said, “Thank you so much for the support over the years at this location, and we hope to see everyone at another OX-B’s location in the future.”

According to a (614) Now, the High Street location of OX-B’s shared the space with BrewDog’s taproom.
In the closure announcement, OX-B’s President Joe Holbrook said the partnership with BrewDog provided an opportunity for the brand to expand.
“It gave us the chance to continue growing the OX-B’s brand with another brick-and-mortar location,” said Joe.
“Just days after OX-B’s shared the opening of a new location in Columbus, the eatery announced it will close its Short North space,” stated the (614) Now report.
Talking about the location, Joe explained that the Short North location played a very significant role. However, after the closure of BrewDog earlier this year, the OX-B’s chain also decided to close its doors.
OX-B’s operates seven other locations across Ohio, including Buckeye Lake, Newark, and Marion, spread across Ohio. Even though High Street’s OX-B’s chapter is closing, customers can still enjoy the same flavors at its other locations.
