50 Best Sports Bars in Columbus

“Josey was an absolute delight!! So attentive, friendly, and helpful - great recommendations and advice! Would request to be seated in her section again. Thank you so much for the attention you paid to my wife and I. You made our honeymoon very special. We couldn't have asked for a better server. :)“

“We hosted our son’s rehearsal dinner at Stone tonight and it was fantastic! The food was excellent, the service was great, and we loved the atmosphere on the patio. I highly recommend this restaurant for events!“

“Had a great experience at Parlay! The entire staff was friendly and attentive, but Angie and Meghan truly stood out; they were amazing. Professional, personable, and made the whole visit even better. Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“Good food, good people, good fun!

Great place to have a few drinks and enjoy life!

Nikki and Sarah and Becca among others are amazing and will take good care of you!

Love this place!!!“

“Best wings around! Love coming here for power hour.“

“The food and atmosphere was amazing. I would eat here every day if I lived in Ohio just for the incredible value.
Marie was my bartender and waitress and I could not have gotten better service. Whatever they are paying her is too little, so noce and attentive to every detail/need.
16 wings, fries, and two beers for $23 can not be beat!“

“The drinks are reasonably priced, the bartenders are friendly, and there's a nice patio section with plenty of TVs for watching the games. The pizza place in the building is quite good. However, it does get a bit crowded and rowdy on the weekends. It would be better if they had security during those times. During the day, it's a completely different vibe. Nonetheless, I still enjoy the place.“

“Huge Thanks to Bernard’s Tavern & the Amazing Breanna!

First and foremost, we want to sincerely thank Bernard’s Tavern for welcoming us and allowing us to host our wedding party at your fantastic establishment. We had such a great time, and it was the perfect spot to celebrate such a special moment . A special and heartfelt shoutout goes to our incredible bartender, Breanna. She was absolutely amazing quick, efficient, and always one step ahead. She went above and beyond for our group, even handing out waters without us asking and making sure we had everything we needed all night long.Not only is she stunning, but her personality shines even brighter. Breanna made everyone feel welcome and cared for, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of us. Everyone in our party loved her!From Chicago to Ohio, we thank you so much, Breanna. If we’re ever back in town, you can count on us stopping by to see you again, girlie!“

“Nightly specials and sports on TV. It’s great.“

“We are from out of town and needed to feed 16 people after our original plan fell through. I called and spoke to Jeremy and he was quick to accommodate. I have to say the service was impeccable and so was the food. Every one of our orders was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server ( I’m sorry i don’t remember her name, but I’m sure she knows who we are talking about) was amazing and professional and never missed a beat! I would highly recommend this establishment !! Thank you all so much ❤️“

“Awesome place for �“

“Having a great time! Amazing Bartenders, good drinks, and a great karaoke host! Makes me regret being from Connecticut and not being able to make it my local water hole. Hailey, Kaitlyn, Aria, and Lauren are absolutely amazing“

“Been a regular for years now. Best friendly bar in the area if you want aow key laid back atmosphere. Pool tables and music. Pull tabs and keno. Not a big crowded sports bar perfect for people just looking for a low key chill experience feels like hanging out with friends not like a campus party bar. More of a seasoned drinker bar not a throw up on the floor kinda place lol love every bar tender. Awsome place !!!“

“I love this bar it's awesome and I highly recommend it. The customers and staff are very friendly. me and my mom have only been there twice and definitely plan on going again.“

“Re. the Grandview location - Great food. But, building is just fair. It is freezing in there this time of year (late Fall/Winter). With the high ceilings, any heat never makes it to the patrons inside (please learn to use your ceiling fans to help with this). Also, having doors that open straight to the outside doesn't help. Each time they are opened, it is a blast of cold air for half the establishment.“

“My band, 270 Famous, played there on 4/27/2023. The staff and management were phenomenal, not to mention the food and atmosphere. This place is awesome even when they don’t have scheduled entertainment. Thanks for a great evening.“

“Love this place, but really? Kitchen closes at 9pm during Ohio State and Notre Dame Championship game that started at 730. It’s 9pm, the house is packed, not an empty seat, not even halftime and the kitchen is closed. And they call themselves the number one place to watch the Buckeyes…kitchen would be opened if I ran this place.“

“Cheeseburger and Fries was so amazing! ❤️ Would like to be back again sometimes!“

“Great restaurant and wonderful staff.“

“the blonde bartender Kat will nickle and dime you $1.10 for a tomato on a sandwich. She's padding her register with your money while she's sneaking shots. Sad was a great place to go“

“Stopped in for pizza...it was amazing. We will definitely be back“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

“Food is from the pizza place next door and is OK, but subs were tiny and expensive. Go to India Oak for great subs and get double meat, take half home. The Oak has good bands every weekend night. Bands outside at Gabby's and in August, Iron Cross is having a 40th reunion gig on Gabby's patio. THE BROTHERS GRIMM will open and graying Northland High School alums will ROCK! I can't find the date on the Iron Cross website! Stupid hippies. And Gabby's website doesnt list entertainment or dates? Come on people! Get it together!? The characters who are regulars ARE entertaining though! Watch your car and park by the patio entrance...... cars have been stolen in front of Gabby's and the old Northland hood is sketchy!“

“Really great bar/pub experience. Bartenders are attentive and very friendly to newcomers as well as the regulars. Food is great. Karaoke with John the KJ is very on point. My favorite Monday spot for drinks and karoake. Good atmosphere, good space indoors and outdoors. Always a great time and thankful to all those behind the bar and kitchen for a wonderful experience!“

“This establishment has a lovely modern vibe. Patroned by a nice and friendly crowd, with excellent food choices. This guy was certainly impressed by the Carnita Tacos. So good, I couldn't put them down. This place has a fun and welcoming environment. It was staffed by a pretty cool bartender named Chelsea, who had a kind ear, provided some prompt service, and had a great smile to beat.“

“We flew in from Utah. And our first nights dinner was here at the Flat iron and folks this place was awesome. Our appetizers showed up first hot fresh and delicious. Dinner was amazing had the The Blue line Burger double meat made the way i liked it wife had the chefs salad. And the ingredients were fresh crisp and anazing tasting. The service here rocked to our two amazing servers were Taija and Eli. And both were fast happy and brought a great professional service to us. cant thank them both. And the Chef and his crew delivered amazing hot food. I 100% recommend this tavern if you ever stop in Ohio“

“I 💚 their pizza! Have been ordering here for a long time.. The girls in the kitchen are sweet and very helpful. If alcohol is your thing, you can find it here as well, they have a bar. Popular place so parking can be an issue sometimes. Other than that, it's all good!!“

“the food was amazing I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. my server was awsome“

“Friendly, casual atmosphere. Good people on BOTH sides of the bar. Good pours & reasonable prices. Of all the bar owners I know, CHEERS TOO has some of the best. If you enjoy good conversation and a fun time you're doing yourself a disservice by not stopping in.“

“Cool place. People were friendly and prices good. Wish there were more ladies, but I might have gone on an off night. I'll be back regardless“

“Just had one of the best bacon cheeseburgers in my life at The Point on Main!!! Fantastic!! Fresh Cut fries were a bonus!!“

“We happened to see O'Manny's Pub while we were at Half Price Books and decided to stop in. Kyle, the bartender, greeted us like friends and we chatted as we drank our beverages. It is a relaxing place to enjoy a beer with friends. I recommend it to anyone.“

“The hospitality we were shown this weekend was unmatched. It was a cold evening and we were wanting to feed our 6 and 8 year olds before going to a concert. The wait was well over an hour and half for a table. The staff and owner not only gave my children free drinks but they found us a spot out of the way so my children could eat pizza without waiting. I can’t tell you how much that meant to this momma. Thank you so much!“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic food“

“This bar epitomizes the home town old school vibe(this bar has been in business since the 1930's)! Punky and Aggie behind the bar are pure awesomeness! I am from Cleveland and always look for old school bars when I travel. This bar is one of the best I ever stopped into. Aggie today (has been here 13+ years) had homemade deviled eggs and pickled eggs with beets. Amazing! Literally one of the best bars I have ever been into during the day! Holler!!!“

“My wife and I came here for Blackbird Burrito which the food is incredible for the price. Fresh as fresh can be and the burrito was fully loaded like Chipotle used to be.

What surprised me is I went to the bar and ordered a Guinness. I then watched in absolute joy that they knew how to pour a proper Guinness. As they say it was an absolute creamer. 9/10 Guinness pour. I only deduct a point because it was in a standard pint glass and not a Guinness glass.“

“Kassidy is very genuine in every movement/customer she comes in contact with. If I got my own bar today she would be my first pick. She is able to greet a customer and make them feel comfortable = great environment. When I come here I feel like one of the staff more than at my 40 hr a week job.“

“Totally recommend this place!! What a great time we had at Paddy Macs, great music, drinks & exciting atmosphere!!They were featuring this new BLAST ENERGY mix with featured drinks!! Totally awesome!! Gave me a great buzz to keep going all night! Plus WAY healthier than all that other garbage!! Anyhow, my fav.... CLASSI BLAST + BERRY VODKA =???If you know what I mean!!“

“for a bar that, by its name, has only been open 2 months, the aesthetic is perfect. Very appropriatly sized for its location and designed perfectly to fit its area inside and out. This bar does tupac and other late 80s and 90s rap, hip hop and r&b.
This best thing about this place was its bartender BB. From knowing all their beers, they do not have any drafts its all bottles, and knowing all the correct measures and ingredients for mixed drinks, Ms. BB was a phenomenal host and enjoyable personal to speak too.
I would like to see this place at peak capacity or their best nights. I think it should preform well! :)“

“Fun bar. It’s like being with family. ❤️“

“Dropped in for dinner loved the big menu and the margarita list was solid. Tried the birria tacos and the queso dip with chips flavorful and generous portions. Service was friendly, though it took a while to get our food during the dinner rush. The patio was nice, and ambiance was upbeat without being loud. Prices were a bit higher than expected, but overall a fun spot I'd go back to just maybe during happy hour next time.“

“We have made this spot our date night club; the music starts out with our ole school and music we can relate to, once it turns, its our time to leave because the crowd changes. We now have date nights on Friday and Saturday with on a good night we leave around 11pm. We meet new people here and always enjoy ourselves.“

“Will & Kristin were great. Answered all questions and really helped make the experience memorable. We spent most of our time playing darts but the other games they have look so much fun. Being able to go up and use the taps to try dozens of beers was such a fun experience. We will for sure be back.“

“The food was great. Went on a Friday so there was some live music. Service was subpar. She was busy, I'll give her that, but she kept sitting down at a table and talking to some guys. All good, do you, but at least make sure everyone got their stuff first. I had never gotten my drink. Then, it took forever for the check. My friend is a server, and she felt the service was terrible.“

“Great place to shoot pool, eat and relax“

“Definitely check out this local neighborhood bar! Megan the bartender was super polite and courteous! Also Doug was very welcoming! The atmosphere is pretty cool and very organized. They also have reasonably priced drinks & shots! I'll definitely be returning in a few weeks! This might be my new hangout spot!“

“Great place to hang out! Great staff. Always welcoming!“

“relaxing,pool table is nice, cool customers“

“Great place to unwine and chill“
