50 Best Bars near Whitehall

“Amazing service and food. We had the lamb burger, flavor burger, and jalapeño popper. All were fresh and delicious. Took home a piece of cheesecake which was too sweet for my palate. Also the kids popcorn chicken was a bit of a disappointment also. I think stick to the main menu and you can’t miss!“

“It's a nice place for ALL ppl of legal drinking age. Bartenders are very nice and know most of us by name, you might hear some country music, some rock, reggae, hip hop....the jukebox is always good. If u haven't seen someone in a while, stop by here??? oh and they open at 5:30am if u feeling reckless! If you are racist, this is NOT the place for you NO BAD VIBES♥️“

“This place was amazing they greet u soon as you come in and the service is great they walk you through everything and Nick was so good at his job and friendly also grant with the drinks is amazing Lol great service and experience overall definitely would recommend to friends and family. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Went to this establishment spur of the moment Saturday night with a group of girlfriends who were all celebrating one of my close friends with her bachelorette party. I have been here previously when it was still operating as SeeSaw. Luckily for us there were some VIP spots open- so I went up to one of the staff to ask them how to reserve one. I just want to say as someone who has been to many clubs/bars in my younger years and interacted with staff and management in the VIP sections, this BY FAR was the best interaction I have had. The man who helped us all night was Max, he was so sweet and helpful and put up with all of our antics and did everything he could to make our night amazing. And while all of the servers were great, Jac went way out of her way to make sure not only the bride had an unforgettable night, but that all of us had a great time. There was also a bouncer in the section behind the DJ where we were at (his name escapes me at this point in time) but he was also wonderful in keeping people out and helping us at the end of the night. Will definitely be back and will definitely recommend!“

“The staff is attentive, friendly and personable. The Draft House is clean and neat. I ordered one of their sub sandwich and a soda which was tastily. I watched ,Poor Thing's last night and enjoyed it immensely, It was funny, twisted and highly entertaining, I highly recommend this movie. I want to give a shout out to Amy who works at the Draft House and put up with me and my antics.“

“This is the 3rd time I've been to RingSide and I love it! The food is always amazingly delicious. The service is great. The staff is super personable, polite, and fun. The am since is fantastic as well. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“Truly amazing. The staff greeted me immediately upon entering the establishment. I spoke with a gentleman named Derrick who treated me like we'd been friends for over 20 years. After leaving I found out he was the owner of the establishment. The food was amazing. The jerk lamb chops may be the best in the state. I may have found my new thing in Columbus.“

“Love this place! A mix between fine dining and comfort food. I’ve been twice and both times I had a fantastic experience. It’s important that I add that I have celiac’s disease and I cannot have gluten or it’s cross contamination. This restaurant and their other concepts come highly recommended by others with celiac and they’re totally right when they say that they take good care of folks with allergies. I feel very safe eating here and haven’t gotten sick after. I also need to add that I’ve had the same server both times, Carlos, and he is incredible! He is very knowledgeable and kind and doesn’t make me feel like my allergy is an inconvenience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone but especially to anyone with allergies.“

“I don't understand why the dj gives up after the caberaet show. It's like they're trying to drive out the crowd so they can pack up early and still get paid a full night. I'm going to assume complacency from being the resident without competition for to many years. Both friday and Saturdays dj's are guilty of this. Ivan (RDJr), I'm told you read comments, pay attention. Your bartenders and VIP hostesses are suffering because of this. Everything else is absolutely amazing. Hate to see Michelle go. Best spot in Columbus period overall. Fix this and get a full nights revenue from that liquor license I'm sure isn't cheap.“

“i didn’t stay long enough for food (my flight was before 4) but i had such a lovely time here! jeremy is soooo nice and friendly. he is also very knowledgeable and i honestly could have stayed all day. definitely will return the next time i’m in town!“

“LOVED every aspect of this incredibly inclusive bar…hope Rumours will expand in the future & open a location in Cleveland, but until then the drive to Columbus was worth it to spend time with old friends & meet/mingle with incredible people. PRO TIP: Check out the phone booth &/or record wall for an amazing photo session after taking a pic of the stunning street side mural“

“beautiful spot for a nice dinner! the ambiance is refined without being snobby; clean, comfy interior with low lighting is perfect for an intimate dinner. service is so nice and recommended great drinks and dishes based on our preferences. i can't remember all we got but the focaccia was a crowd pleaser and my chicken entree was perfect. i would love to visit again!“

“Right as we picked our seats, we were instantly greeted and were able to get our drinks! Then only five minutes in, we took our orders and got our appetizer! This place has amazing service, food and the overall look of the place is really nice. You should definitely come here!Parking: Right as you turn into the parking lot, you should probably see many open parking spaces and it’s all free too!“

“Stopped at pins after a movie over the weekend and was really glad we did. It's such a cool concept overall. Staff were attentive and friendly and the cocktails were delicious. Mine even had a bomb pop in it. Wish they had food and maybe some more games. Little crowded with kids running around but it was early evening, so it's expected.“

“I got my usual pecan encrusted pork chops, chipotle mashed potatoes and carrots; wedge salad with Thousand Island dressing and chocolate cake to go. Delicious!! Our server, Austin, was spectacular. Great service--attentive and accommodating. Thanks for hiring him! He's an excellent example of the best of servers.“

“Nice bar with a relaxed modern atmosphere. You have to order everything at the bar and then bring it to your seating. I especially liked that there were 2 people playing chess and that the bartender came up with a non alcoholic cocktail I really enjoyed.“

“If and when this closes, the OSU campus as well as the city will lose a true institution. A place that is the true definition of "dive bar". One of nice people (patrons and employees), good pizza, great beer selection and prices. Love this place.“

“This was our first time going to this establishment. We were a party of 4, with my husband in a wheelchair. We were greeted by CJ, most kind, wonderful individual with a great smile! Our server Sophia was very patient, kind and offered many wonderful food recommendations. Which I might add, we loved everything! If I could suggest one thing if you’re in the area, or just wanting some great tacos, nachos, guacamole, salsa, and chips this is the spot to go to! THANK YOU ALL!!Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area is kind of tight, but what I will say when we arrived there, CJ made every accommodation for my husband in a wheelchair to feel most comfortable.“

“The only time we ate from here was in June 2020. It was during the Covid-19 craziness. We ordered through Door Dash. We had told ourselves we would go eat in. That's what we did today. The atmosphere was AMAZING! So was the food and the service!!!WE WILL BE BACK!“

“I have been to Thurmans many times and always had a burger since that's what they are known for but this time I ventured out into unknown territory hoping the rest of the food was just as good and I was not disappointed at all. I tried their crispy chicken sandwich this time and it was crispy on the outside, juicy in the inside and HUGE! Our server provided excellent services and brought out food out when it was fresh of the grill, smoking hot. 10/10 recommend!“

“Always a good time. Only bad part is parking which is out of their hands - the food makes up for it including daily specials, which are always awesome to try. The service is always incredible. And the lighting is always perfect to enjoy your friends or family and not worry about everybody else around you.“

“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 atmosphere, the service, the views!!!! You can't go wrong here! Absolutely amazing and one of my newest favorite places to visit when I come to Columbus!!!! I felt like such a queen when my Son brought me here for a rooftop party ? Can't wait to return!!“

“Definitively this will be Columbus first Michelin rated restaurant! The food and presentation was mouth watering. The cocktails were unmatched! When you enter you feel like you are in a very special space that you can rarely find around the world. i have ate at some of the most exclusive restaurants around the world and 24 Main is there!“

“The environment here is always buzzing and lively, and the staff is always going above and beyond. I go with my friends for casual dinners and drinks at least twice a month, and I've never had a bad experience. I absolutely love the grilled cheese bites with tomato soup, and I love how much the drink menu changes.“

“We were passing by here on a Friday evening after grabbing a bite to eat next door. It was our first time in here. The vibe and music was chill. We had a few drinks that were on point. A live band was setting up but we had somewhere else to be. I highly recommend this place for a nice chill spot. We didn't get a chance to try the food though.“

“The place is full of nostalgia. I really enjoyed playing video games from my childhood. There were a handful of games that were down (not sure how long they've been down), but there were others to play. The environment is fun and friendly.“

“We went in for our anniversary dinner as we heard that their sushi is amazing. Its not the place to go, if you want to have a quiet dinner, with some romatic music but it is lively and happening. It has very nice view, as its name suggests. And the service is top class. Our waitress did a wonderful job in attending to our needs. They accomodated us really well and I would most definately go back to try rest of the food and drinks soon. Great place to go with group of friends.Only thing I did not like was Martinis but our waitress helped out with something else I like.“

“Very clean. Great staff. Owners make you feel at home! And Food is AMAZING! I almost miss pushing beer for Superior Beverage "Miller Lite" to eat the food on my route middle of delivery you just have to stop what you're doing sometimes I appreciate something in front of you that is fantastic! I truly Miss these cats!!!“

“Great tacos and a super fun atmosphere! We had a great server and the manager Dawn was very enthusiastic about welcoming us into the restaurant when I brought my friends for their first visit. After today it will definitely not be their last!“

“It's Small Neighborhood Establishment (clean & it might deserve 5 stars) & I've Only Been There On Sunday Evenings for Jazz Musicians Entertainment ... The Music Is ? Good ?? ... No Food But You Can Order Pizza From Near By N. OSU “

“Great selection of beer and a nice outdoor area. They offer outdoor igloos along with curling and ice bumper cars.The beer choices ranged from pilsners to stouts. Buckeye Donuts is a must try!They have 2 food trucks onsite- RayRay's BBQ and Mikey's Late Night Slice pizza. Great place for dinner and a beer!“

“Me and a friend went here for dinner and drinks, and it did not disappoint!! We shared the Margherita pizza, the arugula salad with the amish grilled chicken added on, and truffle fries. Each and every dish was SO YUMMY!!! And it was more than enough food for us to split among the two of us. The Amish chicken was divine, so tender & flavorful. Not only that, but our server was so kind and helpful with recommendations. Their drinks were 10/10 as well and strong! I ordered the why is it spicy and my friend ordered a mule. We were both pleased with them! The ambiance is lively and the inside is a great balance of rustic and cute. Great option for a girls night & date night. I will be coming again!“

“Interesting drive bar ... Was there around 1pm on a Thursday afternoon. Not many people there at this time. It was sort of like stepping back in time to the places my grandpa brought me to all the time when I was a kid... Brought back great memories! Patty behind the bar was VERY friendly! The roast beef sandwich was delicious. Will for sure stop back in when in the area.“

“The place is small but great for watching sports. There are multiple tvs. Dart boards and a pool table. Friendly staff, but on busy nights there is a long wait for drinks. They do not serve food, but you can bring outside food in. There is a small patio in the rear. Parking in the front and rear of the building. Women's restroom has 2 stalls. Some days, they have a dj. I've been here before it was called Bradshaws. They have made some improvements since then. It's a comfortable place overall. I've been on weekends, weekends, afternoons, and evenings and never had an issue.Parking: Parking in front and rear of the building.“

“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.“

“Love the variety and taste of the hot dogs. Tater Tots are the best! Crispy and hot. Service is great, polite, professional, and friendly. Food came out quickly. Was just a great time and atmosphere. I suggest the Buckaroo Banzai for a refreshing drink with your favorite dog and tots. Orange soda and whiskey ? ?!“

“This is the first Nepali restaurant that offers a of momo sampler! Perfect for me and my spouse!I like steamed and he likes chili momo and bonus is a fried momo! So good and the employees are so accommodating and friendly. We'll be back!!“

“Top notch dive bar in Columbus if not the best. -incredibly nice people that work here -best "bar" food I've ever eaten. Can't go wrong with fried pickles, wings, buffalo chicken sandwich, or any of their wraps. For the impression you have walking into the place the food knocks your boots off -incredibly affordable across the board. Whether it's a deal they're running or just the general local kind pricing of them they're always incredibly reasonable (especially when comparing to a ~$13 vodka soda at a Standard Hall type of place) -lastly a great atmosphere. Relatively lowkey people all around and great spot to go to for a prime time sports game“

“I stopped by Species X on a Tuesday evening after work, mostly due to the Google ratings but also intrigued by the concept/vibe. I ended up being the only one at the brewery which was a blessing in disguise as it allowed me to have about a 2 hour chat with the owner, Bo.I went from my typical skepticism of anything branded AI to fully convinced this was a unique, fun, and ultimately successful approach to brewing beer - not to mention its clear Bo has done his homework and then some.I ended up trying 6 beers and I would honestly say all of them were above average - standouts being the maple blueberry sour and Fluff001.Whether you live in Columbus or are just in time for a short while I'd highly recommend stopping by here to see what Bo and his team are doing as it's truly incredible. While the AI models are fascinating, the decor and vibe are on point, and the staff is very friendly (we covered everything from viral marketing to PC gaming), I firmly believe any brewery is only as good as its beer - and Species X has REALLY good beer!!“

“bartenders know their drinks always have great food recommendations, atmospheres always awesome very friendly staff things to say about this place. Just wish they had a little bit more staffing on their busy days. Other than that they do an excellent job food as always great weekly destination for us.“

“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!“

“Nice place. Very nice employees here. They have a separate section for darts with a few pool tables. The section on the right has primarily pool tables in it. There is a menu. Pizza, a few sandwich options as well as finger foods here. The pizza was surprisingly good. If you go during a league night, just remember there will be limited tables but still should have room to accommodate smaller parties.“

“Zaftig staff were super inviting and helpful explaining the beer option. This is located near Anheuser-Busch plant and there is intimate seating inside with nice wall art and TVs. They have IPAs, ales, and stouts, with guest sours from Dankhouse. I had a work happy hour here and it was great to get everybody together for a drink.Vegetarian options: Rotating number of foot trucks with lots of vegetarian optionsParking: Some spots are reserved for other companies so be carefulKid-friendliness: Lots of families were here with their kids. Everyone’s welcome!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs have space to get through doors“

“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..“

“"Be Nice To Each Other" -Sheila Ann SteuberHometown atmosphere with down to earth people. Relaxing and entertaining, known to many as the local Cheers! Everyone knows your name and are happy to see you! My mother loved this place and its owner until the day she died. May the wind always be at your back, may the sun always shine down upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you off to see the stars.“

“This bar is a hidden gem! It's Small, intimate and very welcoming. The decor is trendy comfortable. We had a charcuterie board which was excellent and sampled some of their custom cocktails. The service was first class. They have a smaller wine by the glass selection but you can pick out a bottle from the attached wine shop and take it with you if you don't finish it. And the shop has a huge selection of wines that you don't usually find in stores. The attached wine shop is the largest boutique wine shop in the city! They change their menus every two months. What a great way to keep things fresh and interesting! We will return!“

“Cave is one of the best clubs in town, I also like the fact how from time to time they provide free dance lesson and drink specials. I have met a lot of wonderful people who I became friends with at the club. The bartenders the bottle girls all the staff starting from the owner and his wife and some family members that work there also wonderful people and they greet you every single time I celebrate my birthday there last year and I will do it again this year they truly know how to run a business. Thank you for all your hard work.“
