26 Best Wine Bars in Columbus

“I took my 22-year-old son to the meadery for his birthday. Not only did we get special tastings we got the history and knowledge of how this small business came to be. Our bartender was incredibly knowledgeable, had a very inviting personality and to top it all off he makes amazing mead!!! Be careful everyone it's got more alcohol content than I'm used to and it's crap up on me pretty quick LOL!!!!“

“Great experience! We had a couple of glasses of wine and a charcuterie board ! Brandon was awesome, his customer service, knowledge and willingness to share wine experience! Great asset to the company !“

“Chicken and Waffles were delicious!“

“We would like to thank the restaurant for giving us happy memories during our short trip to Ohio with top-notch taste and service. I think the steaks here are really good, especially the filet mignon and Seared Tenderloin. For appetizers, I had Pan-fried Calamari and Tuna Tartare, which were also very satisfying. Although the service is slow when there are a lot of people, they are very friendly, and everything including table spacing, interior design, and lighting was comfortable. Although the prices are not very friendly, this is a steakhouse I would definitely come back to when I visit Ohio.“

“Wonderful food in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend the kale chaat appetizer. My wife's chicken tikka and my lamb rogan josh were perfect, complex, and flavorful. Much love and thanks to Jennifer, our friendly and kind server.“

“I ordered a gift card as a birthday present and there was a mix up (my end) in which they went over and above to correct for me. We don't live in Columbus but I can certainly see why my kids LOVE LawBird and their staff. We'll certainly make it a point to stop in on our next visit down.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“This place was a highlight of our trip. The food hit all the right spots and we loved everything we had — most of which was recommended by our server, Carl, who truly defined the experience for us. He spoke so highly of the restaurant, the menu, the company, and the city — this man sold everything about the experience. We were left with an indelible impression that we’re convinced will bring us back here the next time we’re in Columbus. Absolute perfection.“

“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.“

“I had an awesome time coming to Alibi, the bartenders are very nice and want to explain drinks and the menu to you, I got to talk with the owner and he is such a good person who truly cares about his employees and his business. Can’t wait to go again!“

“Fine Italian dining, with an excellent, reasonably priced menu and gracious owners, Rick and Jackie. They have been a consistently high quality venue in Grandview Heights for 22 years!“

“A really cute spot we just stumbled up a few months ago and just recently went back. They make some really awesome cocktails and have pretty much all the classics you would expect along with a solid selection of beer. Honestly its just a hella cute bar, nice little patio with a fire pit and really awesome inside with exposed bricks and a lot of plants and retro decor everywhere. Wish I found this spot sooner!“

“Love this place. What a hidden gem. Tracked in down on a recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. Bohemian with a hip, homey vibe. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my hangout.“

“Eight of us went there for lunch and ordered just about the whole lunch menu to create a tasting menu that we could all share. None of us had been to Speck before and we all loved the food, service, and space and all want to go back with our significant others for dinner. We came in from the outskirts of town and was concerned about finding parking but street parking near the restaurant was actually relatively easy. Highly recommend Speck.“

“Love the bloody Mary’s with bacon“

“Wine on High was the perfect spot for our company ladies night. Leading up to the event, Tina made the process seamless & easy. Her communication was great. The evening of our event, Eric took the best care of us. We did a wine tasting before dinner & he was so knowledgeable about the wines he was serving us. Dinner & drinks were loved by all. They even personalized the menus with our company logo which I thought was a sweet touch.“

“Love Grain + Grape! Great local shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of craft beers and wine. My favorite place to pick up a bottle or two for the weekend.“

“It's been a while since we've been to The Rossi and we are so glad we dined there yesterday. First, they have one heck of a Happy Hour both for their food and beverage offerings were fantastic, I mean how often do you see French 75s and Palomas on a Happy Hour menu. Second, their staff, front of the house, bartenders and servers all have the impeccable timing as far as knowing when to check-in which made the whole experience relaxing & leaving us truly happy! Finally, the restaurant itself has character in a good way... the rays of sunlight dancing thru the windows and the sparkle off of the lighting fixtures leaves patrons with the impression the owners of this bar care about the ambience! We'll be back for sure!“

“This place makes the gold standard best crabcake away from a coast. If it was ONLY crabcake, I would give it five stars. My dining companions have also enjoyed their meals. The cheesecake or key lime pie is a perfect little treat to share at the end of the meal. What else can I say? I haven't ordered anything but crabcakes since my long search for perfection has finally come true. Take a person who loves seafood. From fried sandwiches to fancy steaks, I've heard this place serves other stuff besides crabcakes, too.“

“On a whim we went to Hunan Lion tonight for dinner - it was excellent! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was very delicious. I honestly cannot wait until we go again, I want to try everything on the menu!“

“I dined here for the first time yesterday and order the Fettuccine Alfredo w/chicken and a Caesar salad…both were absolutely delicious, the flavor was amazing and so was the Moscato wine which had the perfect amount of sweetness that I like! The breadsticks were amazing, they melt in your mouth. My server Aaron, was excellent, great personality with a wonderful sense of humor! I will definitely be back and will be making Milanos a regular place to have dinner! If you’ve never been here, I totally recommend giving Milano’s a try!!!“

“My husband and I recently visited Dos Hermanos (in Easton) for our weekly date night, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long, long time. After living in Columbus for over 3 years (and searching high & low), I had come to the sad conclusion that there were no good authentic Mexican restaurants in thus city — that was, until I stepped foot into Dos Hermanos. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with hot chips and fresh, flavorful salsa that set the tone for the rest of our meal. The menu features a wide range of authentic Mexican dishes at reasonable prices. My husband and I tried the queso blanco, street tacos, Birria tacos, and churros. Each dish was flavourful, hot, and super fresh. My personal favorite were the Birria tacos — every bite was packed with the right balance of spices and tenderness. I am very picky when it comes to restaurants, especially Mexican, and let me tell you; if you like flavor (not just salt…), this is the place for you! The food wasn’t all that impressed us — the wait staff was equally fantastic. Our waitress, Megan, was an absolute superstar. She was attentive, friendly, and made our experience very enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and well staffed— a true hidden gem. After our first visit, we couldn’t resist going back again (only 2 weeks later), and I’m happy to report that the experience was just as perfect as before. No doubt about it, Dos Hermanos deserves a solid 5 out of 5 stars. My search for a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Columbus is officially over! If you also have been tirelessly searching for a truly good Mexican restaurant, this is the place!“

“Our waitress Kendra was amazing! The food and drinks were fabulous! Our extremely picky child said they have the best pizza she’s ever had. We had to order an entire pizza to go! Thanks for a great time! We will absolutely be back!“

“Great food. The service is impeccable.“

“We had a great experience with Shay (sp?) as our server. Food was excellent. It was a birthday celebration as well as a 25th anniversary. I had noted these events on the Open Table app when making the reservation, but that message didn't get to the restaurant. We had to tell Shay.“

“The food was so good and the service was literally top tier. I've been to Ruth Chris several times but this was the best service I've had thus far. Jeremy was our waiter and he took very good care of us. I will definitely be returning soon.“
