Overview
Skyboxxx Lounge is the name of a nightlife establishment located in the Crossroads Shopping Center in east Columbus, Ohio, United States. It is known publicly primarily through a lawsuit filed by the Columbus City Attorney's office, which in October 2026 announced action against the operators of three illegal bars in east Columbus, naming the operators of establishments known as the Skyboxxx Lounge or The Social Lounge. According to the City Attorney's announcement, the businesses allegedly continued operating after their liquor permits were revoked in August. Over a two-year span, Columbus police reportedly took 66 reports at the properties, ranging from shootings and assaults to complaints about drugs and street takeovers. Police also responded to unruly, underage parties at the premises, large fights in the parking lot, and reports of hundreds of individuals jumping on cars around the property. In late September, the Columbus Division of Police PACT Unit conducted a covert investigation in which officers observed bar staff selling alcohol illegally and cited management and bar staff. City Attorney Zach Klein stated that nightlife is important but that safety is the top priority, and that the City would step in to clean up or shut down establishments whose operators break the law and allow violence and criminal conduct to go unchecked. The office sought a preliminary injunction. The available evidence does not establish the venue's founding date, ownership structure, corporate parent, or current operating status beyond the litigation described. It is treated here as a commercial nightlife venue name rather than a broader brand with a documented product line or corporate history.
