“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 ❤️“

“Jonis provided top tier service. He was very attentive and made sure I was taken care of the whole night. Even gave me a fresh ice cold water to have with my tequila. 10/10 hospitality, highly recommend!! Make sure you ask for him if you ever stop by Bernie’s <3“

“I went to Classics for the Day Party they hosted along with Magnum Opus Group MOG!! It was a good vibe! Live DJ playing the latest Hip Hop music, good drinks , hookah and a beautiful crowd!
The pizza was EXCELLENT!! Made fresh to order or and you have the option of just ordering slices as well! I can’t wait to go back!

Parking: There is plenty of free street parking and a free lot in back.

Kid-friendliness: Not very kids friendly. More of an adult bar scene. They have hookah smoking, etc.“

“Our company held an event at Flannagan's last week, and it was amazing! The staff was very accommodating, and worked with us every step of the way! I couldn't speak higher of their customer service and flexibility! Highly recommend using them for your next event or party!

Shoutout to Serena for being the best too! <3“

“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“

“Great place for a night out !“

“Great pizza and excellent service!“

“My favorite pizza in Columbus! Service is always great. They work together as a team there to ensure your needs are met. Try the Big Al with parmesan garlic crust. You won't be disappointed! They also have monthly specials for pizzas,drinks and appetizers. Homemade dressings and giant draft beers for $3.50! The only downside is parking. Park at the bookstore and walk over.

Parking: Park two doors down at the book loft.“

“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 !!!“

“Server was fun! Food was great!“

“The food was delicious. We had a couple of fried things that tasted like the oil it cooked in was burnt but our entrees were great. I got the Philly cheesesteak which you can build to your liking. The bread was toasted and sandwich was stuffed full! I could only eat half. We also had the smash burger. It was good but the patties weren’t very smashed so it ended up being a huge burger. Onion petals were great and fries were so so. The service was prompt. We had our orders in and food served very quickly. The atmosphere is what you would expect from a tavern. Bar set up, high top tables, and lots of TVs for the sports fans. Our table felt really sticky though and there was a strange smell in the air. I would definitely still return if traveling to Columbus again.“

“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! Super sweet and attentive! She checked on me numerous times! The service here is the best I've seen anywhere! Trent and Mason checked on me numerous times! All 3 of them were friendly and helpful! I definitely recommend this place! Live music on Saturday nights! Pool table and darts!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

“I was a bartender from 75 - 78; great friends, memories“

“Great place to go. Good food and always friendly awesome service. They even remember my name when I come in.“

“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.“

“Food is pretty good could argue that it's a little what is how I'll describe it I've only ever had the vegetarian stuff in the thin crust pizza because they do not have beef pepperoni and I do not eat pork. Pretty good though never came across any rude people/workers“

“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!!!“

“The food was unbelievable! So much flavor and the chicken was so moist and delicious. I got the Chori Pollo it's chicken breast topped with chorizo and cheese with a tortilla on the side , I also had a top shelf maragrita. Alex my server was incredibly attentive and a delightful human.“

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

They just need to add more parking to be perfect.“

“Amazing people staff and locals. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Locals full of conversation and drinks were made right. Strong. I recommend this place to anyone, and to think that I was just passing through on a Tuesday night!

Parking: I came with a 40' trailer and had a place to park“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“Best wings we've ever had! Came here 4 years ago on a concert trip then came back for another concert and stayed at the same hotel so we could come next door to throw down on some wings and they didn't skip a beat! Probably better than the first time! Well played, Ohio/ Pastimes. Dallas salutes you!“

“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“

“Great restaurant and wonderful staff.“

“Stopped in for lunch today. First time here and didn't know whether to seat ourselves or wait (no signage). There was a young girl tending bar and she didn't say anything to us while we just stood there waiting (she only had one customer). Finally I walked over to the bar and asked her if we should seat ourselves, and she just "nodded yes". She did come over and take her order and she was friendly enough. Got a barbecue wrap which was very big, but very dry. Tasted like canned chicken. I only had a little bit of barbecue sauce on one side of the wrap. Had the chicken been tossed in it, it probably would have been better. Tater tots are very good. My husband got the pub and fries and said they both were good, although the pub sub had very little meat on it.“

“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.“

“Loved my first visit today got a Torta mexican sandwich , it was great !“

“Huge Patio Private Event Rooms“

“Easily one of the best campus area bars. Fun for current students especially for mug nights. But also one of the few remaining nostalgic bars for alumni to revisit. Great location, great layout with pool and darts and outdoor space. Will be back for sure.“

“Great place to shoot pool, eat and relax“

“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.“

“Extremely Close to my home“

“Came here for Karaoke, in from out of town [Pittsburgh]. Looked up Saturday Karaoke and this place came up so we went. So glad we did! There was a Bday party, ended up being the owners friends Bday. It was crowded but not overwhelming at all. The atmosphere was great, chill but upbeat and everyone was having fun, we'll, because, Karaoke! But even without that you could tell this was a great place to come for a drink, or for a drink and some good food. We didn't eat there but the menu looked excellent. The bartender was great, she was slinging drinks and talking to people, super nice. The owner, Neil, was so hospitable and went out of his way to talk to us and thank us for coming. He knows how to treat his customers for sure. From the outside it looks just like a regular everyday bar, but go in, you will be happy you did! We hope to make it back to try the food next time!“

“Drinks here are niiice and they keep the bathroom clean which is definitely a PLUS!! Only downfall is they need to tighten up the patio area. The seats/stools are all broken.It would be nice if they sold food daily also.Cool spot otherwise.“

“Great place to unwine and chill“

“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!“
