Lounges in Columbus, OH

“Absolute top shelf. Great Tapas. The happy hour menu was right priced as well.“

“I had an excellent sushi dinner at 698 Restaurant. Although advertised as “Asian fusion” it seems to be primarily Japanese and sushi cuisine, so keep that in mind if you dine here. The staff was very courteous, warm, and welcoming, without feeling wooden or forced. Just friendly and happy folks. The host gave me several options for seating instead of just assigning me a table, which I appreciate. The waiter was relaxed and personable while being friendly. My waiter sat down in my booth while taking my order, which is very unusual but came off as a hard working server and not a rigidly controlled employee. I started with the kani salad which was larger than I expected and full of crisp greens, tasty salad dressing, a generous heap of tempura flakes, and imitation crab tossed in Kupi Mayo. Altogether, a pleasant crispy combination of crispy and creamy flavors. My sushi rolls were fresh, tasty, well seasoned, and coated with a reasonable amount of eel sauce. An excellent combination of savory, salty, creamy, and spicy flavors. Really great sushi. There was no “fishy smell” or stale taste, something people are concerned about when eating sushi in a landlocked area like Columbus Ohio. This is 5 star sushi. I must complain about the menu: is a 12 page booklet. Simply too long, too many options, and takes too long to look through. It reminds me of the grocery store aisle with 95 different types of cereal – the dining experience would be better with a 4 page menu and 1/3 as many options. The ambiance at 698 Restaurant is very tasteful and well done: dark moody atmosphere, comfy booths throughout, orange-yellow lanterns throughout the area, dark wood frames framing each area, a well-lit bar with comfy stools, squeaky clean hardwood floors, and linens made from dark, crisp, clean cloth. I would not hesitate to return here for sushi dinner any time.“

“Enjoyed the “Daily Double” - two cheeseburgers and fries. Delish!“

“its a nice place and there's a cool little patio thats perfect for smoking a lil weed“

“We stopped in just for a dessert and night cap. It was a good ending to our date night. This was our first time there. There was definitely a younger crown than we are (in our 70's) We felt welcomed just fine. Enjoyed the view and the smores skillet. Our waitress was very attentive and cute. She was great.“

“Listen!!! Day Cocktails and Food at Its FINEST!!! The Bonette and Onion Rings SLAPPED!!!!Will definitely RETURN!!! Very Soon!!! Love J.Ross see you soon Boo!“

“Oh how could I NOT recommend?! From creative, always changing cocktails and mocktails, I can choose to drink or stay sober EASILY. There are SO MANY fun events here. From painting, poetry, music, karaoke, trivia, ect. It is a bar that can be completely family friendly if you have children. It's like walking into a magical place where you are immediately accepted and loved.“

“Amazing people, best chicken wings I've ever had. They actually invited me inside... It was one of the greatest honors I have ever experienced. Inside is Ultra cool with great music and drinks and the most beautiful bartender I have ever seen. I still dream of her...

Parking: Huge parking lot. Outside covered patio too!“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“We celebrate a friends birthday here. It was great, good drinks, staff is friendly and fun environment.“

“Love this place. What a hidden gem. Tracked in down on a recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. Bohemian with a hip, homey vibe. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my hangout.“

“A great place to watch a game! The beer was cold, plenty of TVs and I enjoyed the crowd! We had the wings and they were delicious! The service was fast and efficient. The staff seemed super happy and it showed! We also found Renie’s to be very clean! This will be my new hangout for Sunday football! A hidden gem!“

“Great staff. Good food. Always come when I’m Columbus.“

“A nice clean place Live Bands weekends and karaoke on Thursday so stop in and enjoy your self thank you !!“

“I went last Wednesday for the first time.
Parking is not the best. The bartender was very nice. The chicken wings were great drinks are what you expect in a bar. There was a lady at the bar who helped me know what food was good and she was very friendly.
Will come back“

“I visited this location on 8/10/2023 to help celebrate my brother's birthday with family and friends! This place is so amazing with friendly employees and a great atmosphere 👏 Although there's no kitchen but a food truck is conveniently located right outside in the back of the building! I must say the chicken and fries were very delicious and nicely seasoned! I also tried the surf tacos..this is a must try!! Drink specials were going on all evening with 1/2 off! If you're looking for a new place to hangout with friends and family in the downtown area, this is definitely the place to be! I'll definitely be back soon! Great job Michael Towns and your partners!“

“Staff is kind (above&beyond), food tastes great, and a place where you can have a birthday section or just a drink at the bar to watch the game. If you get a section, you can order bottles & food from the menu. My cons would be: Regular drinks will have to be ordered at the bar. Clearing drinks or food in our section wasn't available. I didn't mind clearing, but there wasn't a place to take our plates. There's a trash can by the exit for cups. If you do plan to get a section, make sure to have enough room for your party comfortably. If you dont have enough seating, there may be open seating at the bar for your overflow guest. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would go again.“

“Great spot for shows and the staff there are incredible at what they do!“

“Came in for a drink and stayed for a few! Thursday night crew is amazing. Kristie, James, Bei, Maddie* Whole team is killing it. Was awesome to see so much of their team hanging out and having a good time too, clearly an awesome place to kick it. Love Parlay !! And margaritas!!“

“Istg they have the most flavorful food I've had anywhere and thats not an exaggeration. The whiting, hush puppies and fries. Like what seasoning is put on those fries??? Hands down the best spot to eat for fair prices and great tunes. Shout out to all 4 Chefs in the kitchen. **I dont drink...I KNOW good food**“

“The Bourbon house is a gem in Columbus that I don’t think many people know about and it has the biggest whiskey collection in Columbus! It is a crafty place with crafty bartenders serving the brightest spirits all year round. Located downtown in a protected historic building called The Buckeye Building it offers enough space for all types of occasions and gatherings. Great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere!“

“Chicken and Waffles were delicious!“

“My favorite Columbus Bar!! Feels like home away from home. Safe, enjoyable, fun atmosphere.“

“Good atmosphere, good food, good drinks.“

“This place is absolutely charming, and the view is unbeatable! The two women working up front were amazing. We were seated right away, and our server went above and beyond to accommodate my food restrictions. She was so friendly with my son and made sure we had everything we needed. He absolutely loves dining out, and it was such a pleasant experience. Thanks for a fantastic evening!“
