🕯️ In memoriam
Stache's
1980–1997
“The tiny stage every touring band remembers.”
Music Venues · High St · OSU · 2404 N. High St.
The legendary North Campus club where the touring underground played to a sweaty few hundred — everyone from Sun Ra (1985) to the alt-rock acts that broke big soon after. The room played its final show at the High Street location on March 31, 1997; the name later found new life in the Short North.
Did you catch a show at Stache's? What do you remember?
The drive, the dance, the heartbreak, the summer. Add a memory of Stache's.
