'Upscale' sports bar opens inside former central Ohio pizzeria

POWELL, Ohio (WCMH) -- A tavern boasted as an upscale sports bar has opened inside the former home of a central Ohio pizzeria.

1801 Tavern is now welcoming guests at 9721 Sawmill Road after opening earlier this month, the restaurant shared on social media. The bar is taking over the space where Shorty's Pizza and Growl operated until late last year, closing the location to prioritize the pizzeria's other eateries in Delaware, Lewis Center and Columbus.
