Franklinton does an amazing job of staying relevant for an outdoor Biergarten in the winter months. A must go for any young professional looking for a casual fun time with friends in Columbus.

Great place, good for kids.

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!

Was a great experience! Came here in early March on a warm day, and the beer garden was the place to be. Had a couple of fresh draft beers and they really hit the spot. The barkeeps were also friendly, and after having a credit card problem with a machine, they just comp'd it so I wouldn't have to wait

Nice place with great beers. If you need a place to watch a crew game, this is it!

$4 for a child's Shirley Temple is ridiculous. Mote importantly. The kids wouldn't even drink them because there was minimal grenadine or cherry juice in them. Plus, $30 for 2 hours to rent an igloo is highway robbery. Definitely will not be back.

Ice bumper cars, curling, warmed igloo, and drinks for date night. Fun and cozy

Jig Erin and the whole staff at Land Grant went above and beyond! Definitely will be back!

The new Wintergarden is so much fun! Equipped with ice bumper cars, ice curling, food trucks, heated igloos and tents ready to serve beer on tap—it is an awesome addition, providing unique outdoor entertaining. Great beer, great company, great time!
Cool place with great beer (coco chili coffee milk stout was my favorite) . Despite it being a slow night when we were there it was extremely loud between the music and a nearby table of screaming people. Can’t wait to come back when it isn’t raining to check out the outdoor areas.

The Winter Garden igloos are amazing.
Angie Canepa
Don't waste your money on the igloos! Ours was awful. We had a reservation so not like we were unexpected. The igloo had a moldy musky smell probably due to the ghetto furniture they had in it. Looked like broken down patio furniture they stole off someones porch. Visible stains, just GROSS. And when the guy led us to our igloo, he told us that they had problems with the previous heater, but it would warm up in no time. Wrong. It was freezing. We gave up and just went inside after about 20 mins. Super disappointing. It's a great idea and had hoped for a somewhat romantic experience, but not executed well at all! Would not recommend!

Land grant is the best place to celebrate occasions! We had a birthday to celebrate and the staff was top tier. The wintergarten is amazing and their staff is so kind! Shoutout to Chris!

This review is mostly regarding the winter igloo rentals. We went yesterday and had a pretty disappointing experience despite it being a special occasion.They say they seat up to 8. Comfortably, they do not, as each bench is just two patio chairs pushed together and we were really struggling to accommodate our party along with the cake we brought and Mikeys pizza boxes.The check in process was also not as described on the site. We arrived 5 minutes early, as it states to do on the reservation confirmation. It says you can check in at the bar but the bar sent us outside, and so since we assumed we could get drinks in the igloo we did not purchase drinks in the bar. However, outside they told us that they had booked the igloos back to back (despite there being a bunch of empty ones on site) and so we should go inside and purchase drinks as the igloo was not ready yet.Keep in mind, that we were carrying a cake and a bunch of other stuff because it was a birthday celebration. We went back inside got drinks and then it was time to actually be in the igloo. They came and bussed it, but whoever was there previously had a dog which had clearly jumped on the cushions and so we were seated in it an igloo where there were dirty paw prints everywhere.Finally the last issue was that they were out of cider ( they only typically carry one which is kind of annoying anyway) but had not removed it from the online menu. My sister who pretty much only likes ciders and is not a hard liquor person tried to order it and then they came out and told her that it wasn't in stock but they would take it out from her bill. At the end of the evening they still had not removed it from her bill so she had to go back in and request it be taken off.In summary I think it's a good idea, but definitely not something that you should do for a special occasion. The igloos themselves I feel like could have then set up a bit nicer, as they are pretty bare bones, crowded and again, kind of dirty inside. The weekday price to rent them isn't bad, but if I had paid a weekend price I definitely would have resented the cost considering what we got. I've seen other venues in town that have igloos that just do it so much better and do make it kind of a special thing (blankets, Bluetooth speakers, etc) whereas these I feel like were just a warm place to have some beers with buddies.
