A Cleveland restaurateur is expanding both of his concepts to Columbus.

Rebol, a create-your-own-bowl restaurant, will open at 6605 Longshore St. in Dublin the week of June 24th. TownHall, a cafe, sit-down restaurant and lounge, is expected to open in September at 800 N. High. St. in the Short North.

Bobby George, founder and owner of both Rebol and TownHall, said he chose to expand to Columbus because he loves Ohio.

“Columbus and Cleveland share similarities,” George said. “It’s not too far away, where I can’t keep an eye on it.”

Rebol will serve “fast casual healthy” food, said Kayla Barnes, communication director for the restaurant.

It will have live moss growing along the walls to help with air filtration.

Barnes said customers can create a bowl with a base protein such as falafel, shrimp, chicken or steak and then pick toppings. Bowls range from $9 to $11. The restaurant will offer plant-based and vegan options with 100% organic produce and no genetically modified organisms in its food.

The restaurant also will serve coffee and bone broth soup. It will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

“You can come in, grab coffee or breakfast, come in for a business meeting for lunch or order on the app and grab your order and go,” Barnes said.

Both Rebol and Townhall use the same app, which allows customers to order ahead of time. Customers also can order from kiosks within the stores for speedier service.

TownHall will feature a cafe and sit-down restaurant on the first floor that will feature American-style, vegan and vegetarian options. It is also 100% non-GMO.

Crawford Hoying will own and develop a hotel as part of the complex, George said.

The complex will have a 6,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge that will serve cocktails and craft beer. The name of the lounge is still to be determined. Three-quarters of the walls can open up to offer a view of the city.

“People want to feel outside and enjoy the fresh air in the Midwest,” George said.

TownHall will be open from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

George said he’s more nervous than excited for his restaurants to open because he considers himself a perfectionist.

“We looked at a lot of Midwest cities, but the reason I came here was because of the developers. They did a good job wanting to focus on an independent restaurant rather than a chain,” George said. “Columbus has a lot of great restaurants, and I hope the market accepts us.”
