50 Best Bars near Gahanna

“Good lighting at the bar for the nomad artist in me.“

“The Dolphin Lounge is keeping live blues relevant in Columbus. Please keep it up. I recently saw a negative review for the bar’s refusal to offer tap water to patrons. While that may seem like a turn off, it is not the bar’s nor the server’s fault. Public eating/drinking establishments can only lawfully offer tap water if it has been filtered. Instead of breaking the law and offering unfiltered tap water, the bar offers bottles of water. Hopefully, the reviewer just didn’t have all the facts.“

“I play in a pool league and cornerstone is my teams home bar. The food comes from Angie's pizza and I have always been satisfied with their food quality. The bar has reasonable prices and is fairly clean. The restrooms are decently clean and not run down. The pool tables are not the worst. Not the best. They're acceptable bar tables. I prefer this bar to most other ones we play at in the league. the main thing that separates this bar from a lot of other bars we play at is the bartender Carrie, her level of service and attention is phenomenal and I don't think there's another bartender in Gahanna I like nearly as much for the quality of service I get.“

“Great long time hot spot in the area... They now have STEEL TIP !!! Dart boards and pool tables the karaoke isn't my thing but the friendly custys and singers were fun.... I highly recommend this place for a after dinner spot or even before and after a movie...“

“My husband ordered take-out a few days ago and included a slice of apple pie for me. I don't usually have room for dessert, so usually skip it, but this pie was the best I have had in YEARS!! HIGHLY recommend! Delicious, and that was the next day! :)“

“First time here and I can say I will be back! Absolutely amazing food! The waiter rocked it out, can tell he actually genuinely loves his job and it shows! Regardless if you live in Lancaster or not make the drive!“

“Blue Agave Mexican Restaurant! Don Rolando el jefe de tortillas! .... this Chef makes fresh tortillas for his guest. He told me the story of how his grandma would make fresh tortillas and slide him one or two before dinner as a kid. He would add a little water and salt roll it into a ball and eat it before anyone would notice. This act of love and family traditions has now made it to your table. One of the best lunches I have had in a hot min. Thank you Don Rolando! Great patio too. #freshtortillas #mexicanfood #columbusohio“

“Love this place. Great food“

“Great service and Top notch quality food served consistently 🤗“

“Dueling Axes made for an awesome double date night! It was our first time throwing axes and knives but John gave us a great intro and coached us girls through it! He was hilarious and so approachable, willing to give more tips when I was struggling miserably LOL. We loved the variety of games, including a cornhole-style scoring game (1st to 21 or 51). The bar is very nice, and they serve an excellent peach mint mule- great work, Dan. We will definitely be going back!“

“Fantastic new spot in Short North. Exceptional staff, great food and great vibes for dancing all night!“

“Awesome atmosphere! Service at the patio bar was exceptional. comfortable, friendly and just an all around great time.“

“Enjoyed the “Daily Double” - two cheeseburgers and fries. Delish!“

“pros and cons. CONS.. If you were to base your visit on first checking out the cleanliness of the bathrooms before you eat, you'd turn around and leave. The men's room in the basement needs so much work and the multiple colonies of gnats was like visiting the basement of college kids from a party and cans and spilled beer have never been cleaned up. Horrible condition. The ladies refused to even look at theirs. Booths are small and tight. Definitely an old building, but it's kind of cool with its history. PROS... Those were some really really good burgers. Wife got the Ali and I got the Old School. Burgers are huge and easily splitable. We tried this after friends suggested the burgers and we were not disappointed. Onion rings were too greasy for us, but the fries and homemade chips were great. Alll and all, it's definitely an option to eat again when in town.“

“Me and my friends experience was so nice in here! Such friendly vibes and great customer service! The bartender was so nice and explained so much to us and had such a great attitude! Such a vibe! 🫶🏻 The drink was amazing but this place should be called Full Baked because after a drink and a half I was gone. 😜 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Only been here once. Enjoyed the beer I had.“

“Went to the Blu Note for the first time for my birthday in August. One of the waitresses was being trained by another waitress so we had two waitresses waiting on us (: and they did a great job!!! The live music was lively and the food was excellent , lamb chops were off the chain and the chicken wings were seasoned just right! They gave me complimentary New York Style Cheese Cake for my birthday as well ! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression “I’ll be back”.“

“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.“

“They don't sell food so I didn't rate them on that. This is an excellent, dark, small, sticky, homey, old, jazz club dive bar. Great music, lots of local history, cheep beer. Would recommend, but only if you are polite and like music.“

“One of the greatest storytellers in Columbus runs this spot. Frequented by kind people with weird hobbies. Bring a friend or make one.“

“I don’t want to remove a star because your pickle pizza is dreamy but you made me waste money on those stupid for profit parking lots that don’t even use the funds to repair the lots. The parking is like 11 dollars we found another one for 6 bucks for two hours walk up to Slammers and it’s locked. Everything says it’s open, the web site, Google, the door sign itself… we’re not rich, just wanted to have a beer and pizza after a really bad day and tried To call but there’s no way to leave a message… just boo that wasn’t cool. Next time make a sign when you don’t feel like opening up during your normal hours, think of your customers. *waaah*“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

“We love this place! But didn't check my order before we left tonight and it was wrong. Bad me. Didn't get the sub I ordered and all was cold. Just check your order before you leave.“

“One time I had a little too much fun here. Bartender politely cut me off and gave me coffee for free. He also made sure I had a ride home. I’ve only been here a few times but every time ive been the atmosphere was very lax and entertaining. If I were to start drinking again… I would be here every night. Amazing service!“

“Buy a drink and play for free! Great place for Gen X to bring their kids & grandkids“

The prized for bingo and trivia are soooooo worth it and amazing. My favorite bartender is Chloe! So ask for her when you visit!!! Go to fives !!!!!!“

“A classic neighborhood bar, that people come to from all over. The TouchTunes is always an eclectic mix just the like the patrons, who are drawn by the friendly and welcoming-to-all attitude and vibe of the great bar staff.“

“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!“

“Nicole, Jonah and Matt are my absolute favorites!!! amazing vibes, great service!! the best dive bar in the brewery district 🙌🏽!! Kitchen open till 1am always a plus 🤌🏽 and if you can catch Tommy he's best gem of the whole place ❤️“

“Great spot with good vibes“

“I love everything about this place. I see sometimes they struggle with consistency and I attribute that to it being short staffed and having such large volumes of orders. This place stays crazy busy in my opinion. But the food is so good. The wings are by the far the best I have had in town, even on their bad days. No matter what happens, lovells is always on the dinner menu atleast once a week. We are life long customers here in Reynoldsburg.“

“I’ve been coming to this bar for awhile now, the staff is great, the pool tables are VERY well taken care of, and the atmosphere is always friendly. I’m always telling my friends about this place, it’s the best sports bar in the city!“

“Good band tonight. Small crowd. But great atmosphere“

“Great spot for shows and the staff there are incredible at what they do!“

“This place is wonderful. Buddy and I had a great experience here. We came in from out of town and went to this location 4 times over the course of 4 days. Ambiance, environment, food, service, drinks were all top tier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun time. Emily our server was amazing and took care of us. We will surely stop back here if we ever return to Columbus.“

“Great atmosphere and service bartenders are great. I had them mix me up something cute. I don’t remember what it was but it was good. Whatever makes drink it was it cost me $14 and then Tito‘s and something my friends drink so like quickly $24 and two drinks which I guess it’s fine. You know we went to go listen to the reggae with Pete Funkso good times.“

“awesome place. owner friendly and welcoming. he supports veterans!“

“We came in from Cleveland, looking for a more "local" stop for a few drinks before the night started. Bartenders were super friendly and attentive, even the customers made the place very welcoming!“
