“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.“

Antiques on High Brewery • $$

“Ryan Shazier loves this place. Saw him a few weeks ago with some lady (not his wife) and he said it’s a perfect spot for first dates. He was absolutely right! Took my girl there for a first date and ended the night at her place! The vibe is amazing. Shazier recommended I try the Tessera drink andMy oh my, it was paralyzingly good! Wish Shazier would show some loyalty, but it led me to find this gem. Thank you Ryan Shazier!“

Pretentious Barrel House Brewery • $$

“*Dog Friendly* Kind of hard to find but what a gem! Staff was extremely friendly, they went out of their way to go over their different drinks and other places to check out. They brought out the dogs a water bowl with ice cubes. The beers were incredible, never had anything like them…. The fact that they are all barrel aged is all that needs to be said. Definitely will be back! Thanks for such a warm welcome to your city/breweryCheers“

Spires Social Brewing Co. Brewery • $
8757 Sancus Blvd, Columbus

“A group of 9 of us went to Spire Social recently to brew our own beer as part of a bachelor party. The owner Alex was awesome - he let us start early before the brewery opened and made sure we all had a drink before we got started. He provided a lot of instruction and explanation throughout the process which we all enjoyed. We all got to participate in the brewing and the bachelor was able to smell and select which types of hops we used. The process took about 3 hours so that gave us plenty of time to hang out and drink at the bar (good beer!). I would definitely recommend Spire Social to anyone who’s interested in brewing their own beer or just grabbing a drink!“

“I wish I could give our server more stars!!! She went above and beyond. My kiddo got his head banged by a truck hood and she saved the day with some advil.The food was great. The large house salad is huge.The scratch made blue cheese is excellent, as was the tenders and fries.The vibe is loud and bustling, but the booths helped filter the noise. The location is excellent and just across the street from the convention center.Vegetarian options: Definitely veggie friendlyDietary restrictions: Lots of different optionsParking: Parking in that area can be tight and costly.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu availableWheelchair accessibility: Could be a little tight when they are packed.“

Combustion Brewery & Taproom (Clintonville) Brewery • $$
2971 N High St, Columbus

“Got some great brews and great vibes. There was a lot of seating on the afternoon that we went but I could see it getting busy during peak hours.There were a lot of fun seasonal options to choose from so that made things interesting. We grabbed a round of drinks before hopping to the next spot so it was a great stop for that.Not sure if it was just too early or what for our server though he seemed really stoic and disinterested while we were ordering. But eh that's okay I know we all have our bad days too lol“

Species X Beer Project Beer & Ale • $
408 N 6th St, Columbus

“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!!“

Taft's Brewpourium Columbus Brewery • $$

“This was my first time at Taft’s and it was really fun! The toasted rav was sooo good! The pizza was not my favorite but I would go back for the toasted rav alone. Their playlist was absolute fire (a la early 2000s) and the vibes were great.“

Endeavor Brewing and Spirits Brewery • $$

“Hubby and I stopped at Endeavor Saturday shortly after they opened. It was only a ten minute walk from our hotel! Tried many of the beers and enjoyed just about all of them. Drinks looked fabulous, but it was too early for liquor. Bartender was super friendly and engaging. I recommend visiting this place. I know we will go back !“

“Wedge salad was a bit small for the price - but delicious. The burger was delicious and cooked to the temperature I requested - not something that always happens. Desserts were amazing. The only negative feedback I have is that fries should be STANDARD - not an add-on for burgers and sandwiches, particularly given the price of the item. The burger was already $17 without fries. And the fries were greasy. I don't like to complain, so I didn't say anything to the server. However - I paid $6 for greasy potatoes.“
