Oldfield's North Fourth Tavern

This place may have the best pizza ever; sober or not. If you value the Portnoy scale whatsoever, THIS IS YOUR PIZZA!!!! Plus karaoke Thursdays are extremely fun, wonderful service from bartenders, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Perfect balance between artsy dive bar and your generic sports bar–feels incredibly alive.

Great little dive bar. Awesome Happy Hour prices!! Nice place to watch sports. Lots of TVs.

Doubling down on what a friend wrote, because it really needs to be said. I’ve been here twice, and I’ve had really negative experiences both times. I’m not a hard person to please. All I ask for at a bar is a selection of drinkable beers and respectable service.

My first experience here was several months ago on a karaoke night. The guy running it made repeated (unprompted) comments about sexual harassment allegations against a football player. There was seriously nothing that prompted it. I’ve now seen another review stating he’d be openly creepy around female patrons, and I can’t imagine they were isolated incidents.

The service at this place is fine. No complaints about the bartenders. Haven’t had the food, so I can’t speak on it.

But as my friend mentioned, they ran out of Guinness ON ST PATTY’S quite early into the night. There wasn’t a single safe alternative on the entire tap list. We ended up going to a non Irish bar, and after their Guinness tap was empty, they had a full fridge full of cans. That’s how you prepare for St Patty’s.

I get that this place is trying to be a bit more “grown up” than other campus bars, but you need to have SOME of the usual beer options for people who don’t like funky IPAs and such. The beer I did end up getting is one I’ve had before and liked, but it tasted noticeably watered down or perhaps it’d somehow gotten skunked. Regardless of what the issue was, my beer was disgusting.

I acknowledge that craft beer bars just may not always be for me, and that’s okay. But when the product is noticeably worse than it should be, that’s a problem. And again, the karaoke MC on Thursday’s (heavy set guy) is a total creep and shouldn’t be anywhere near a campus bar.

Based on your responses to other reviews, I know you don’t care that I’ll never patronize this place again. But I think this could be a really great bar for everyone if certain things changed.

Decent bar..decent ZZA....just need to chill out bit but it's expected with popular spots....

Oldfield’s North Fourth Tavern is an absolute gem of a local bar located just a stone’s throw from my apartment. This cozy spot has quickly become my favorite hangout, thanks to its competitively priced drinks, delicious food, and unbeatable atmosphere. The menu is packed with mouthwatering options, but the true standout is their tavern-style pizza, which is crispy, flavorful, and always hits the spot. My personal favorite, though, is the buffalo chicken dip—it’s creamy, spicy, and downright addictive.

What makes Oldfield’s even more special is its outdoor patio area, which is enclosed and heated during colder months. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a drink or meal year-round, no matter the weather. The friendly and fun environment makes it an ideal spot to watch UFC fights or football games with friends. The staff is welcoming, the crowd is lively, and the vibe is always upbeat.

Whether you’re looking for a casual night out, a place to catch the big game, or just a great meal and drink, Oldfield’s North Fourth Tavern delivers on all fronts. It’s a must-visit for anyone in the area, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Watched an Ohio State playoff game here and it was just as fun as being at a game! The music was on point, plenty of TVs at all angles, the bar staff was fun, and owners occasional announcements over the PA were super funny, and when we won he sprayed a bottle of champagne to celebrate the big win! The drinks were affordable and the happy hour & daily deals have some pretty great prices, parking was much easier to find than trying to go somewhere on high st. I would definitely recommend going to Oldfields to watch a Buckeye game sometime! What a blast!

Tyler is amazing!!! Give him a raise :)) he was so nice and knows how to handle a big crowd while giving amazing service!!!

Great place to watch sports and enjoy some local ohio draft beers

Not much food to choose from...basically pizza. It would be nice for an Irish bar to have an Irish beer. All the beer on tap were IPAs or flavored. Not my thing

Helpful and Friendly bar staff. Kitchen open late.
