One-star dive. Two thumbs up. Wouldn't want to rate it any higher so the locals can still enjoy it. Stay away. Run as fast as you can.

Had a great time at Mike's Grill. Brandon, our bar tender, was friendly, knowledgeable, and great under pressure. I know because after a few drinks, I put him to the test. He managed to serve to perfection every drink I ordered. Their selection of beer was admirable as well. Being from Texas, I asked the likelihood of getting a bottle of the national beer of Texas, a Lone Star, and lo and behold it was presented to me. Had a great time meeting young and old alike. Look forward to visiting again.

I absolutely loved the old school atmosphere here at Mike's Grill! I was in town for a concert and stopped in here for a drink or two or three, maybe even four. I dint know it was an all cash establishment so I was about to leave to withdraw some money and come back but luckily the owner was sitting at the bar and said me and my girl can have one on the house. That was so awesome of him to do and me and my partner was very grateful for that. But there was no way I can have just one beer and go so I ended up running to the ATM and got cash so I can enjoy this little gem a bit longer and try some of Columbus' local beer and other beer from around Ohio. Really cool bartender as well. She was on point with service, and the prices are very affordable. Every time I come back to Columbus, I'm definitely stopping in again.

Best bar in Columbus. Everything you want in a small bar.
Dietary restrictions: They have liquor and beer. If you have allergies to those don't go to a bar.

Great friendly cheap in the short north. Love matt the bartender
This is a great cash-only dive bar with very affordable drinks and attentive barkeepers. This kind of bar can be hard to find in the short north these days. My only gripes are that the women's restroom doesn't lock all the time and the pinball machine could definitely use a few repairs.

1star, 5 stars I’m not sure which best describes this fabulous dive. Stumbled upon on while our group was waiting on ice cream. Sooo much character and vibe. It’s the perfect spot for a cheap drink and learning a new Scottish drinking game, if you’re lucky. I love that this place exists and will return any chance I get. MUST VISIT if you’re into cash only spots with old wood floors and a few bars stools. The best!!

Best dive bar I’ve been to in a very long time. A genuine dive bar deserves a 1-star rating, and this one’s genuine. I hope this place never changes.
