“Traveling through Columbus looking for a spot to wind down with my pup and this was the perfect spot. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, the beer was good, the service great, and the patio better. Turns out it's next door to a lovely restaurant, Commune, which was perfect for takeout. Would definitely recommend.“

Land-Grant Brewing Company Brewery • $
424 West Town Street, Columbus

“Land-Grant is a really solid Columbus spot. Good beer, great outdoor space and probably one of the better places around to hang out for a few hours when the weather is nice. Grab a beer, get something from one of the food trucks and hang out outside. Pretty hard to beat.

One of my favorite things they do is the F1 Sunday mornings. There aren’t a ton of places around Columbus where you can show up early on a Sunday and watch a race with a bunch of other F1 fans, and it makes for a really fun atmosphere. Definitely something I hope they keep doing.

I’ve been here a bunch of times over the years and it’s always a good time. Nothing overly complicated about it, just good beer, a cool space and they do a good job giving people reasons to actually come hang out beyond just being another brewery. Easy five stars for me.“

“Counterbalance is an amazing little micro brewery!
The beers are fresh and full of flavor. Uniquely curated.
If you love Peanut Butter and Jelly, you have to try “Goober” it will satisfy the kid in you that craves good home, packed lunch and the adult in you that still likes to have fun like a kid. The staff is outstanding and provides great service. Love the space! Enjoy the patio or inside. Great cuisine! The perfect neighborhood bar that feels like family! Nick is our favorite bartender and server.“

“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.“

“My husband enjoyed a flight of beers and we all enjoyed our dinners. Food is fresh and tasty. There is a back tap room that is more casual and the front dining room where people seem to dress a little nicer. We are not from the area and sat in the front dining room in shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers and our server was very courteous and didn't bat an eye. I think you can get the same food in either place. In our party we enjoyed the Brussels sprouts appetizer, fish and chips, chicken sandwich, and kale salad with salmon. There is outdoor seating as well. It's not covered, but it's shady from the adjacent buildings (at least in the afternoons).“

When you have some time to grab a drink, this is a great place to hang out. Tried their IPA ?.

There's only one size available and it's a big 20 oz. Too bad you are not allowed to bring it onboard your flight. This beer sure tastes better than the airline options.“
