28 Best Dive Bars near Gahanna

“I'm Big on Patios. Today was my first time here & I was greeted with a wonderful smile.“

“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 dive bar, very welcoming and warm. Covered patio with a heated section! One of the gals made me an amazing margarita for only $3.50! Nice, clean bathroom. Simple, good food too.

I'd say overall one of the best dive bars I've been to!“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere 👌“

“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. 😜 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“I would like to see the bartenders to be able to control or at least have some type of control over patrons that come in they’re arguing and making threats to the person they’re arguing with. Last night there was two people in there and they were in the middle isles when you come closer to the front door. One of the two people that were arguing was making threats to the other person, saying that he will kill him. He will shoot him. The bartender does nothing at all nothing. The bartender called out the wrong person loudly thought that called the police. Police came in and everybody got quiet. Safety should be number one at all times if somebody’s gonna argue, making threats and threatens to shoot the person that they are arguing with in the bar be put out and or the police called . The bartender has a responsibility to the bar and protect the patrons. This did not happen, there should be some type of protocol in place that all the bartenders need to adhere to when something of this nature happens. There was also two killings last year at two close bars we don’t need to have it at The Rock!!!!“

“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!!“

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

“Cute place staff was nice. I wasn’t impressed with their signature sandwich, the HURON ST. MELT. We are not local so the group gave the common viewpoint that the food was “okay”. Fair pricing and the live entertainment was good.“

“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 ❤️“

“If you want a place where you and your friends can go out, have reasonably priced drinks, be in a lively environment with some characters, and actually hear each other speak without massive TVs plastered on every wall, this is your spot. Some friends and I were in town for a Blue Jackets game a few weeks back, and we found ourselves coming back here each night we were there. Good times.“

“I really liked this place. It has a good atmosphere and good music. I recommend it if you're looking for a quiet, non-fancy place to hang out. The drinks are reasonably priced, and it has pool tables and darts. It's ideal for after work.“

“My wife and I are well above your average age of clientele. I must say your staff as well as customer base has always been nothing but respectful to us. THANKS“

“Easily the best bar on campus! My friends and I were so sad to see Toos go but Thr3es lived up to all our expectations. They have a free bus to pick you up (which is great when you live on the opposite side of campus lol) & a free party room with its own bar! We held a surprise party here for our roommate and it was so much fun & so easy to book the room. The staff is great & there’s always good drink deals!“

“Great owner great food great place“

“This place pours the strongest, most dangerously good Long Islands in town. The vibe at Char Bar is unbeatable—no frills, no fuss, just the perfect dive bar

Many people aren't aware that Abraham Lincoln spent the night there once many years ago! Historical!“

“Bar keeper was excellent! Food was spot on“

“The best bartenders and a mixed crowd love it <3 Stephanie, and RJ are the dynamic duo!!!“

“Recently visited this establishment for a small MGK pop up concert. The venue provided us with ice cold water bottles and water jugs that had cold water in it. they were some of the sweetest and most kind people I've came across. 10/10 will have to come back and try their food!“

“Just started attending this local friendly comfortable relaxed.Non judgmental atmosphere. Congratulations to the owner who just celebrated?I believe his thirtieth anniversary or more with his wife. Been attending weekly sometimes twice a week.The closed in patio is awesome.You never knew it was cold“

“amazing staff that are on top of things awesome karaoke and fantastic drink prices“

“Just a straight up fantastic dive dream. Beers, bands and badazzz awesome people all the time. As Columbus is rapidly loosing it's edge becoming an almost YouTuber rich kid "establishment" overpolished bowl of glitter-vom, places like these keep it no-nonsense and I love it! Bar staff is always awesome, crowds are good, drinks are cheap!“

“Rehab Tavern in Columbus is just an awesome spot to kick back and have a good time. The vibe hits right as soon as you walk in – it’s cozy, chill, and has this cool mix of old-school charm with a modern feel. The staff is super friendly, too; they make you feel right at home and are always happy to help with drink recommendations or just chat for a bit.

Speaking of drinks, they’ve got a fantastic selection! From craft beers to unique cocktails, there’s something for everyone, and the bartenders seriously know their stuff. Plus, the live music nights are a blast. They bring in some great local talent, and it really adds a fun, energetic feel to the place.

Overall, Rehab Tavern is just a great, laid-back spot to hang with friends or meet new people. It’s the kind of bar that makes you want to come back, whether you're from around here or just in town for a visit. If you're looking for a place with good drinks, good vibes, and a friendly crowd, this is it!“

“Our whole experience was awesome because of our bartender Mike. We had a crappy night and it happened to be our anniversary, and ended up picking this place to have some Drinks. Mike took great care of us and celebrated with us with a shot. He always made sure we had a drink and had great conversation. Awesome experience!“

“Fun Patio! Love the Hugs!“
