Pretzel

“This is such an awesome brewery! Everyone is so warm and welcoming, and the environment makes you feel right at home. “Come as strangers, leave as friends” is what one of the employees told me, and I truly feel like they treat their customers like an old friend. German style beers are fantastic, my personal favorites being the Goldtop and Wiener. My family and I just love coming here, and always recommend it to anyone in search of a great Columbus brewery!“

“Paid $80 for an uber eats order of wings and fish and chips. Ordered extra blue cheese and extra tarter sauce. Both things central to our meal...didn't get any sauce. This is extremely annoying and frankly I'm absolutely sick and tired of basic things like this getting missed on orders. The meal is literally ruined over something so minor...do better.

Edit. While I'm keeping the above message intact, the original "service" 1 star review really was an angry culmination of repeated order delivery errors from a multitude of resturants, not just Barelys. In fact, we still ate our meal the next day (with newly acquired sauces) and I have to admit the food was awesome. Additionally, we received a very friendly and prompt response from Jason the GM who graciously accepted the feedback and pledged to spread my frustration, so it's only right to update the service to 5. Mistakes happen, and yes I was angry, but their immediate and professional response deserves a rescore. We will be giving Barleys another go and I'm confident my future review with be 5 stars across the board, from the start.“

“We booked the Hickory Room at Wolf's Ridge Brewing for our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome party and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The room was beautiful and their service was great! Their staff leading up to the event were very organized and communicative and the food for both our rehearsal dinner and welcome party was excellent. We had at least 75 people in there at some points and the space felt comfortable. We had a great experience with Wolf's Ridge and would recommend it for anyone looking for a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or other event venue.“

The consistency of their world-class experience is a testament to the outstanding management that keeps everything running like a well-oiled machine. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere buzzes with warmth, authenticity, and that unmistakable Bavarian charm.

Tonight, our servers Kenzie, Leah, and Brady elevated the evening to new heights with their impeccable service. Kenzie, in particular, was on point as always, anticipating our needs with a bright smile and an infectious energy that makes every visit feel like a celebration. Leah and Brady were equally attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our table was perfectly tended to with a level of care that only comes from years of dedication. Their attentiveness is unmatched, and it’s clear they take pride in delivering an unforgettable dining experience. The consistency of their stellar service over the years is a big reason I keep coming back.

And let’s talk about the beer—pure perfection, thanks to the jolly and talented head brewmaster, Jason. His passion for crafting the highest quality brews shines through in every sip. Whether it’s the crisp Helles or the rich Dunkel, Jason’s beers are a masterclass in flavor and tradition, making Hofbräuhaus a true haven for beer lovers.

Tonight felt especially special, with Kenzie’s flawless service setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Hofbräuhaus continues to be a shining example of hospitality, thanks to its remarkable staff, exceptional management, and Jason’s unparalleled brews. Here’s to another decade of unforgettable nights!“
