Open earlier in game day! We sat outside waiting and many groups were disappointed not open yet. You're losing business!

Went here last night, it had been a looong time. I love the new decor and vibe. Had a blast! They redid the interior recently, looked much more like an old school campus bar. The staff were very friendly as well

New ownership has driven prices completely overboard. We were at the bar during the NFlL Outdoor series and the pricing for a PBR and other can beer was insulting. This classic old school watering hole might have hit its plateau. We were told the prices were purposely more because of the event. Spending nearly $185.00 for drinks is a lot steep.

I started coming on Thursdays with friends for trivia and this place quickly became a main stay for us. Greatly priced drinks and food, amazing bartenders who get to know you, and an inviting atmosphere. As far as dive bars go, I am very happy with this place and would highly recommend!

Stopped in today with some friends and was met with a very generous and understanding bartender who handled our big group rolling in right after opening with ease. We’ll be back next time we’re in Columbus!

Small joint but outstanding, friendly service. (Review made on a weekend when college children were not present at all).
