Bar Room

Bar Room (2022/2025) transforms a third-floor gallery at The Pizzuti into a space of connection, conviviality, and cultural memory. This permanent installation by Bahamian-born artist Tavares Strachan invites visitors to step through an unmarked door into a fully realized reggae bar—complete with handcrafted cocktails, locally roasted coffee, and light bites.

Inspired by the neighborhood rum bars of Strachan’s youth in the Bahamas, Bar Room links Columbus with the Caribbean, celebrating Afro-Caribbean music and the living legacies of the African diaspora in Central Ohio.
