Theo Lentz - Shifter of Shapes

Hi I’m Theo! Longtime bartender and mastermind behind the Shapeshifter.

We have been running themed pop-ups around the Columbus bar and restaurant scene for years while working on opening the brick and mortar spot you’ll see today.

Shapeshifter pop-ups were known (and loved) for their commitment to the theme— we’ve done Waffle House, Christmas in July, Eat Cheese & Sin, and Tea Party themed events just to name a few. 

Located at 129 Mc Dowell St. in Franklinton, The Shapeshifter is a queer, artists’ collective space that features gallery space, occasional live music, and the finest craft cocktails in Columbus!
