32 Best Pubs in Columbus

“On a stop from Ohio to Washington DC for dinner,we experienced a great treat.Service by Sara and the athmospher of the restaurant reminded us a lot like being in Europe.The veal schnitzel easily was one the best I ever had.Keep up the great work and thanks for being there.“

“Not able to make it to Deutschland? Don't sweat it, Valter's is the stateside equivalent. The tentative staff will make you feel like you were in a restaurant right in the heart of Berlin. Valter himself came to the table and made sure the food and beer were perfect. Great staff, beer and food!“

“Atmosphere is very laid back. I came here looking for Blackbird Kitchen, thinking it was a restaurant, and was surprised to find that it’s the name of the food sold in the bar. So Blackbird Kitchen is not its own separate restaurant. You order food at the bar and they bring it to your table. Service was quick and the food was good overall. Parking was a bit confusing. Do not park in the parking lot before 6:30pm! You will need to find street parking, which was not hard. Outdoor seating area. They have live bands.Parking: Don’t park in the parking lot before 6:30pm. Free street parking down the side streets.“

“What a great experience! In a time that we lazily choose a chain eatery, it’s high time to reflect on what gave us our chains ⛓️Old-school eatery with wood and fixtures older than myself feels like home to me. Add a friendly family and capable staff and some cool trivia and you get a singular experience that was all to common just a couple of decades ago. We had bangers and mash, shepherds pie ?, and ribs. All were outstanding and despite their ample and intimidating proportions nary a take-away box was needed. Hail Columbus, Hail Eire ?? and many thanks!“

“Plain and simple, it's a real nice and friendly sports bar with lots of really good food and many beers.Eat in or carry out. Lots of TV 's & No kids! The staff seems to love working there.Kind of loud, but what do you expect... It's a sports bar.Using Google Map takes you the long way and gets you lost in the rear of a mall, but don't feak because you're there (only yards away, next to a bubble tea bakery. We ordered and ate a lot (all was good).Parking: Park in the mall once you find the place.“

“This place is now part of every visit to Columbus. Live music is on point and the pool table and pinball adds to the fun. Plenty of local beers available as wellWheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately, the restrooms are on the second floor and there is no elevator“

“The food was amazing. Portions were not overwhelming, which i feel is a good thing. The atmosphere was good, but not amazing. Lighting was dim, but not dark. We had a party of 6 and got right in. The hostess was very helpful. There is some outdoor seating available. The bar itself had about 8 seats. It had a decent amount of local craft brews on tap.“

“My husband and I came here on a whim and were really shocked! The food was amazing. I had the Shepard's pie and my husband had the traditional Irish breakfast. We also had an appetizer of the cabbage rolls. The cabbage rolls were so good I didn't even get a photo. It's a bit pricey but one of the most underrated restaurants.“

“Thank you Kate, Morgan and the entire COhatch family! You are amazing people! Thank you for having a truly beautiful place for our non-profit to meet. Everyone involved loved the space where we met in the Pavilion and the large hexagon table was perfect for us to talk as a group. We had a wonderful meeting. What a blessing you are to our community!“

“Wow! Food is amazing! Irish spring rolls a must! Also soup taste home made and burgers so good and nachos! That is just the food! The best burbon whisky and scotch selection hands down! Servive is even better than the amazing food and drinks! Can't say enough good things!“

“This is a great place to meet up withFriends and enjoy an evening, the staff are very nice and attentive, bartender Cassie is amazing every week.. the cook Chris does a great job with any food on their menu. Great menu and I have never had a bad experience.. thank you for being great at your professions..“

“Shout out to this spot for real - love a great dive/local bar.. and what's crazy is a grew up in this town and NEVER heard of it until recently moving back into the state . Service was awesome, the folks mad friendly and good beer selection, that's all I need.“

“This is a neighborhood bar. The drinks are inexpensive and the food was good. I got a cheeseburger with fries. Both were hot and tasty. This is obviously not fine dining but for bar food it was really good. Live music by Wednesday Wine when we came to enjoy the advertised entertainment. Of course, the music was loud as it is a bar. The service was good even though it was really crowded. We will be back!“

“Okay, I honestly love this bar. I went for the first time to visit a friend for his birthday. This is his regular bar and it was honestly like Cheers or something. The bartender knew them all and was just the sweetest guy. (He also was an older straight man, as far as I know, but was totally comfortable flirting back and forth with my male friend all night. It was really just . . . comforting.) They have a patio that's pretty large and open air. Yes, there will be people outside smoking, but it's not enclosed so you may be able to sit further away from people and not be too bothered. The inside seemed to have plenty of seating. Were there pool tables? I can't honestly remember. I was drinking. The drinks! They had a lot of liquor varieties. I don't know what their beer menu looked like, but I was able to have a few rounds of a mid-level reposado tequila (not Cuervo) and buy my friend a drink for about $20. I was floooooored and left a good tip. The bartender also had come out several times to bring us drinks on the patio (!) and empty everyone's ashtrays. He had a good rapport with many of the customers, I could tell. It's a dive bar in the best way--where the drinks are cheap but good, the atmosphere is chill, and everyone will eventually know your name.“

“1/2/24... Back for lunch today absolutely delicious food and great service!!9/8/22.... Here for lunch I got the special for today beef stroganoff and a roll yum!!

Check them out if you haven't, it'll be worth your while... We'll be back for sure!!“

“Fun, easygoing place to hang out on a Friday night! Lots of locals and a welcoming vibe for sure! Drinks are on point and food was delish! Only bummer was our very simple burger order was messed up, it was walked around the restaurant on a tray several times by different confused staff before being returned to us, now cold...basically the attitude from servers was "well we kinda got it right and were so busy so could you just take these off our tray?"..burgers were ok, but not the actual orders we made. 4 stars for friendly and fun place, would have been 5 if they just fired up some fresh burgers for us.“

“Ooh weee this food was so good. First time here and I loved it! Our waitress Jennifer was amazing and so quick with the food and drinks (and those that helped her)! the food was amazing and I’ll definitely be back here again and on a side note… he wasn’t our waiter but they do have a waiter here who is fine as thee fawk! Whew lol give him a raise just for existing lol but anyways great place and the vibe is nice too! The decor is cool too!“

“An awesome pub! A lot of people were here for lunch and there were only two servers during lunch time, but they were efficient and friendly. The food was served fast and tasted juicy and fresh. They also had daily specials. I was here for the taco deal on Wednesday. The taco tasted fresh and juicy with amazing coney sauce.Vegetarian options: Salads“

“Ordered carry out on a crappy and super snowy Friday. Pizza was VERY good. Sauce is just right, pepperoni was spicy and delicious, and the crust was flaky, crispy, and cooked to perfection. Italian sub that I ordered was equally excellent! That bread is so good! Finally, I ordered an open face pizza sub. This was the absolute best that I’ve had! Again, bread is awesome, red sauce is fire, and that spicy old world pepperoni was just like it should be! VERY, VERY good! Six out of five stars!!!“

“We showed up around 4pm on a weekday. Later that night, they had trivia (so it gets pretty busy). Our server was awesome. Quick service and great drinks. After a couple of beers, I decided to get a pizza. The pizza was awesome. Just beware. This is a bar first, a restaurant second. I was told their oven could only bake limited things (limited pies). So, depending on how crowded it is and what is ordered, the time it takes to get your pie may be long. I got my pizza (well done), it was great.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by Meister's. I recall reading other Yelp reviews from a few years ago that mentioned rude service. If that's still the case, I didn't experience it or see it with other patrons. I went during an Ohio State men's basketball B1G tournament game, and the sound was on which was appreciated. I also saw that they were a Browns backer bar, so it seems like they have local sports fans covered. Their six draft beers were priced well, but the main event for me was the deep dish pizza. I'm no stranger to this Chicago classic, and I (again) was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The bottom crust was a little thinner than you might find at some places, but to me this was an advantage. My one critique is that the Meat Lovers pizza seemed light on the meat, but there was ample sauce and cheese to satisfy. There were also daily drink specials, a pool table and dart boards, the latter located in a semi-private area with its own TV. I'd go back, and I'd even try their regular crust pizza which looked tasty from afar.“

“We rented the party room for my brother’s 50th birthday party. I highly recommend Flint Station party room! The decor was amazing. There was a ton of space and lots of things to do. The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were great! Worth every penny!“

“South High School held their annual picnic there, after a two year hiatus. It was held outside, as it has been in previous years. There were 3 food trucks, a pay bar, a shelter house, a huge tent farther out in the lawn area & a stage where a DJ played songs from the 60's & 70's. PLENTY of outdoor beautiful space to reunite with former classmates.If you have a large event you want held outside, inquire for prices & accommodations.“

“A very friendly and non racial atmosphere. The prices are good no hidden charges.You pay for what you buy.Very highly recommended to relax and make friends.Parking: The location is excellent. Located by Dublin - Granville Road in Columbus.They have very large frey parking spaces.“

“This bar is the local bar "in a small town" everyone goes to, where "everyone knows each other". The bartenders know their customers and remember them. I love coming here. I wish they had some money for renovations. If you want a problem free day/night check it out. Oh and the food is pretty ohkay too.“

“We hosted an event here on the 16th and it was perfect. Everything they committed to was followed through and the bartender was great. The space it lovely and we only slightly decorated to personalize it. I would have an event here again anytime. We didn’t actually get food from them, but the drinks were fantastic.“

“This location used to be a favorite of mine but I haven't been in awhile. Overall had a good experience. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was great, the wings were nice & crispy, and I think this time I found a new favorite sauce combo of nukiller + Carolina gold (my always go-to is donkey+ garlic). If I'm ever in the area again I'll def come back to one of my favorite locations.“

“We are from out of town and needed to feed 16 people after our original plan fell through. I called and spoke to Jeremy and he was quick to accommodate. I have to say the service was impeccable and so was the food. Every one of our orders was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server ( I’m sorry i don’t remember her name, but I’m sure she knows who we are talking about) was amazing and professional and never missed a beat! I would highly recommend this establishment !! Thank you all so much ❤️“

“Boosie Bingo on Tuesday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. is my favorite! They always have really me and interesting prizes like beer glasses hot lawn chairs and it's a really great environment with plenty of drink choices and food as well“

“I was visiting Columbus for work and a friend recommended Barley's. I ordered wings as an appetizer and dang they are good. The wings are grilled, and the flavor is very good. I had a burger for my entree and it was quite good as well. Overall good experience and I'd definitely come back again.“

“I live on the property the restaurant is on. The food seems decent. I've ordered about 3-4 times. So I will say this great fries and great sauces. I never tried the pizza but it does smell amazing. Usually stick with the wings and fries. Wasn't fond of the fact that they will charge you for ranch, sauces etc or maybe it was just me that got charged for sauce ?“

“some of the best wings in columbus. the place is very unassuming but don't let that stop you from going on. the staff is great and accommodating; the food is on point; and you get to do a little keno while you wait or eat. must try if you like wings and that is the only thing I have tried so far.“
