10 Best Beer Bars in Columbus

“This place hands down has the best cocktails. It’s where I would go if I’m looking to just have one really good drink. The service gets 3 stars only because it’s a super popular place and they could do with more bartenders! But the folks who have served me and my friends have always been very nice and knowledgeable!! 100% recommend this place if you haven’t been!!“

“First time being here, had an absolute blast! The staff are so friendly and inviting! The inside is decorated to feel like you’re in a dungeon, very medieval. There are so many board games to play here, the selection is impeccable! You can also bring your own board games in which is great. Drinks were awesome and so was the food. Definitely will be back!Vegetarian options: There were some veggie options! Pretzel bites, pizza, etc.Parking: There are maybe 30 parking spots but was pretty full when we were thereKid-friendliness: Great for kids! Fun for whole familyWheelchair accessibility: Yes, welcome to all“

“Went around dinner time and was happy to see this location wasn’t busy at all! Everything was super clean and we were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress was sooo friendly, funny, and helpful. We got a couple speciality pizzas. The Nashville hot chicken pizza was the best for sure, but all their specialties are good. Had a couple drinks and watched some basketball games on the tv. Would love to come back to this location!Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie and fruit pizza toppings, as well as different cheesesDietary restrictions: There are gluten free optionsParking: Lots of parking in a shared spaceKid-friendliness: Kids are definitely welcome here, bring the whole familyWheelchair accessibility: Lots of tables available for wheelchair seating“

“Have always been a fan of SOH-specifically the mac and cheese. But recently we had SOH cater our wedding reception. The food was DELICIOUS, just as good as in the restaurant, if not better, and everybody loved it!! To top it off, we worked with Danny who was super nice and answered all of my silly questions leading up to the event. 10/10 would recommend.“

“One Red Door Burger is awesome!!! Delicious... I'm sure any burger there is good though. The service was good, fast, and it was clean. Nice atmosphere. It was the first time in a while that I have had a tasty burger. Definitely recommend Flip Side!“

“Great setting to host metal bands. Had no issues booking and playing here. Very chill and welcoming…for sure will be going back.Also, parking isn’t bad and loading in as a band isn’t bad. Both of which tend to be usually rare with these types of places so that was a major plus for sure.“

“Fitting place for the Columbus Ale Trail's home base. Great selection of brews on tap from local Central Ohio breweries. Small and cozy taproom. I feel like I'm in someone's basement. Surprisingly busy on a Sunday afternoon. Felt like a lot of locals in the bar. One small TV; so it's not the best place to watch the game. The bartender was cranking out drinks keeping everyone's glass full. They've been open for 9 years, surprisingly. I'll be back as I still have friends attempting to complete the Ale Trail.“

“Where to begin, well I know where: our beautiful server: Angela. She’s been compared to an effervescent light in this dark and gloomy world which we are subjected to reside in. She carries herself with grace and elegance, floating over the thin-planked oak flooring with an angelic presence - fitting that her name is just one letter away from Angel! She took the time to understand our palates, the combinations of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami that we preferred and recommended the basket of zucchini. I had no words, it was simply divine. I cannot recommend this establishment enough and it shall be decreed a crime to visit the OSU area without a visit to this glorious brewpub. At the end of the day, no material items can quite compare to the way that relationships are fostered and nurtured in these 4 walls. You may walk strangers, maybe even enemies, but you will leave friends (or maybe lovers).“

“had so many options!! my husband and i went to the bruce springsteen concert on sunday and had so much fun i couldn’t even remember the name until i started looking on google maps lol! The staff is super friendly and we sang (and drank) all night! awesome place and you can calculate how much you’re spending kind of like a gas station pump!“

“Great neighborhood spot with one of the best spicy margaritas around! The patio is small, but a great place to hang out, there’s space to stand if you can’t find a table. Inside has a pool table and shuffleboard type game, they also have tons of table games to borrow. There’s no food, but they let you bring food in. Has never been too crowded when I’ve goneParking: Parking on side streets around the bar, can be difficult to find depending on the time of day. We choose to walk or bike since we’re in the neighborhood.“
