This is a beautiful place for beginners to gain experience in what ever their poison is. It was a very nice atmosphere everyone was very respectful and supportive to each to each other. Hopefully everyone is still around next time I want to jump on stage.

Was here for a stand up comedy night. We arrived a little later in the evening and the way it was set up made it difficult to enter without feeling in the way. And even more difficult to get a drink since we had to walk in front of the stage and around the audience to get to the opening in the bar w...

Played a show at the Shrunken Head last week and have nothing but the highest regards for the venue and staff. Service was excellent and the venue is both intimate and spacious for performers and attendees. Big shout out to Nick Magoteaux who handled all the audio for the show as he took the time ...

I play in a band all around town, and for the size that it is, the shrunken head has the best sound by far. Before we even started, we could tell the sound guy, Nick Magoteaux, already did a fantastic job setting up. He was very involved and his attention to detail made the overall sound for us, and...

Open mics here are a hell of a way to spend your Wednesday night. Great music (as good as an open mic can be) with a wide variety of acts and performances.

Beer and liquor have a good selection.

Certainly has a trendy dive bar interior but surely a place with a lot of character (decor and patr...

My favorite venue for local and various national acts. The audio engineer is very professional and the sound quality is top notch. The bartenders were polite, quick, and precise. All around excellent experience and I suggest all to visit this place.

AttentionTouring bands! THIS IS THE SPOT. This venue was insanely legit . Best Sound we have had on our entire 2 week tour, Nick who runs this place is a total sweetheart and sound gangster. His attention to detail on what you need to hear on stage is insane !- Local bands drew a great crowd here , ...

Prices are a little steep. Two basic beers set me back $9. However, they also have new PBR hard coffee, which is amazing.
Sound guy (Nick) is a perfectionist, which makes it great for the audience, but I personally think it removes are the rawness of coming to a live punk/rock show.
Biggest gripe ...

The best thing about The Shrunken Head is Nick Magoteaux, the audio engineer (i.e., "sound guy"). I've played in many bars around Columbus and Nick is in a league of his own. He not only adds his own personal touch to each instument's sound, he is very helpful and makes sure everyone in the band is ...

Been here for a couple open mics. Great sound system with staff on site, which is surprising for a venue that size. Cozy place that has a pretty good selection of beer. Has an interesting selection of food. Will definitely be back.

the best drink specials in Victorian Village, a unique, old, beautiful space, and live shows that will take you down an alternative path (I went on a rockabilly night)

it's a fun local haunt, and everyone in Vic Village should check it out at least once

Bar staff was extremely efficient. (Saw me standing @ the bar, had me refueled without me asking).
Went to see a band with a friend. The resident sound guru, needs a raise!

My band performed here tonight to a crowd of around forty brave souls. The venue was exceptionally clean and the women working were among the best and toughest in the service industry; also the sound engineer is one of the best I've worked with.

Well Pillorian slayed and the bartenders were super cool so, awesome. The venue is intimate and has several sections that afford different standing or sitting options. I highly recommend this venue if you want to see a band in an intimate setting with very cool white staff.

I love these guys. Ze Head is definitely my bar of choice for lmost anything. They have a lot going on, every night, and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. The bar owner is a riot, and they are able to bring in some killer bands. Everyone should visit them at least once.
