“If you’ve ever hesitated about Twin Peaks, do yourself a favor and just go! The service is always a huge part of what makes the experience great, and Angie, Nhi, and Ivy are the best of the best. They’re attentive, friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular every time you walk in. They know how to keep things running smoothly while making sure everyone feels taken care of. I especially enjoy sitting at the bar because the atmosphere and service make the whole experience that much better. These ladies go above and beyond, and their hard work deserves to be recognized. Great service, great energy, and a great overall experience every time. Angie, Nhi, and Ivy are a big reason I keep coming back to Twin Peaks Polaris! Management, take care of these ladies because they’re an absolute asset to your team. Highly recommend! 🍻”

4 Victory Lap Columbus

“This sport bar near campus always has a crazy game day vibe with many large screens. Service is amazing and WiFi is fast. It could be a great work or study area while quiet hours. The bar only serves alcohol and there are many pizzas and wings available at the side pizza bar. Special events are held. The patio is also lovely with seats and artificial grass.”

5 Coaches Bar & Grill

• Take-Out

“Good food and service. Some things are a little pricey for what you get. Six small cheese sticks are $10, wings are $9 for 5 and it's an extra $1 if you want the wings tossed in a sauce. I've never been to an establishment that charges for wing sauce but maybe it's something new restaurants are doing. The menus need reprinted. The words are faded on certain items and I couldn't read it. Jumbo fried Mushrooms are really good, chicken tenders are delicious, Philly is perfect, and the fries are definitely fresh cut. Overall I would recommend Coaches.”

“Small sports bar. Breakfast/brunch was great and proced right. I ordered a breakfast combo. It included Bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast. Pancakes were also ordered. Everything was great! Plenty of tv's to watch sports on. Clean bathrooms. My drink was standard. Our waiter was about dry and slow but she may just have been having a bad day so I definitely will give it another visit.”

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 !!

“We sat on the patio tonight and had a lovely time. My boyfriend started to feel (unrelated) ill midway through our time. Our server (I’m sorry I forgot her name) was so gracious. She got us boxes and the check so quickly so we could leave. The kitchen made a mistake and were so quick to make it right, but the mistake ended up in my favor so we were all happy. All I can say is the green beans were fresh and great! ;) Thank you for a memorable evening. I can’t wait to return when we’re both feeling up to it.”

“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.”

“Went here on a whim when we got hungry and a bunch of other places were closed. We had Becca as a server, and she was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Extremely attentive without being overbearing, positive without being fake, quick with refills and checking on us. And props to the cooks and bartenders, my drink was flawless and the food was seriously out of this world, I'm tempted to go back for the cheese curds alone. Zero complaints, can't recommend this place enough.”

17 Roosters

3370 Olentangy River Road, Columbus

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“I have not been to this roosters since they have remodeled the facility. I must admit it is very nice inside the new rehabilitated building feels like a larger amount of space. I like how the bar is in the middle. Being centralized is okay for everyone. You know. If you sit the bar you can see all around you and I think it's just good for the environment. Looks great in there. The food has not changed. It's even better. I like the new dry rubs they have. The lemon pepper is really good. The sweet barbecue is really good and also like their Caesar wrap that they have and I had that with fried chicken inside but I got the sweet barbecue rub and I had the sweet barbecue rub on my wings. I had a great server, my son and I after graduation sit on the patio. It's beautiful day in Columbus so Ohio very very good environment on a Saturday afternoon to have a meal at roosters. I still feel roosters has some of the best, if not the best wings in town, especially if you like your wings cooked a certain way. I like mine fried extra crispy but also the customer service is outstanding being met at the door. You know ask where I would like to sit, and didn't have us standing there waiting looking around for a seat. I think that's very important when you come into a restaurant ready to eat and you just standing around 10 minutes. Trying to figure out what's going to happen and you haven't been taken for a seat or let knowing it'll be a few minutes. I do like that. Overall. This roosters has everything you need and the restrooms are clean too. So I can't complain. That's the top. The whole review off is the restrooms were very clean.”

18 Front Row Sports Bar

4.1 Good 66 Reviews

2170 Henderson Road, Columbus

“Friendly, small, and welcoming atmosphere. These bartenders will greet you by name and have your usual ready if you are a regular. If you’re a new face, someone will ask for your life story in a genuinely interested way. You’ll leave feeling like family if you give it long enough. You won’t feel out of place. Unless you’re intolerant. Be kind and you’re in the right place.”

“Dined as a group of five. Unique structure limits large groups at the same table indoors. We ate outside-- road noise, and a open dumpster on the other side of a brick wall detracted from rhe experience a bit. Very friendly servers, food came out relatively quickly and everyone enjoyed what they ordered.”

“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.

“I have visited this place on a Friday evening which is a little bit busy. Even though we know TGIF,they were very friendly and sufficient on getting you seated.I was eating alone too . If there is a group of you, I would call in to see availability. That is just a courtesy. I liked the atmosphere,as far as the views of different T.V's,they also have a bar,and a fontera robot that brings your beers,or margaritas,or cocktails 🍺🍸🍹to you. Which is very 😎 cool and different.When it's warm the patio is nice,but not that huge, but a nice size.”

“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!”

There is food available from a Mexican restaurant run separately from the bar. Saw a lot of customers there just to buy dinner to go. The food was delicious, well priced & generous portions. Free parking is great too. Its easy to pass up. Be sure to pull in the drive separate from the gas station. Its tucked in behind.”

“Really enjoyed the pizza from DawgHouse Pizza & Bar. I only stopped in to pick up an order, but the food was definitely worth it. The place has more of a rough, hole-in-the-wall vibe and didn’t feel like the nicest area at first, but it seemed like a true local spot where regulars feel at home. If you’re just looking for solid pizza and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s worth checking out.”

“This sport bar got a crazy Buckeye game day vibe with great bar food, a comfy patio, some arcade machines, and excellent service. WiFi was available. They got Buckeye game raffle this season for every Buckeye game. Some events and offers were attractive. We loved the chicken fingers the most. The chicken was crispy and juicy. But the breaded wings were a little too thick and salty. The pizza was good but a little hard. The Bloody Mary was great with a thick taste of vegetables. Anyway, this pub was a wonderful game day place at Polaris for Buckeye fans.”
