50 Best Bars near Grandview Heights

“A good family outing. About $100 all in for a family of three for a movie and good pizzas as well as beverages.
Good beer selection and comfortable seating.
I only wish they would bring your food to you so you don't have to miss part of the movie.“

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

“My friends and I came here for my birthday for brunch and it was nothing but a positive experience. I am new to the area so I am still trying to find where to go for good food and drinks. Our server David was very good and always made sure we were happy. I will be returning-- thank you for an awesome birthday brunch! :)“

“Newer bartenders are such fun! Great meatballs and pizza! A great place to meet friends and clientele are of all ages.“

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

“Food was spectacular, staff was super friendly, lots of food for the cost. Highly recommend.“

“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. 😜 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Just had their newest addition to the high quality menu. The generous portion could easily be a shareable for two or a great lunch tomorrow. Extremely tasty with the right balance of crumbles and b’fflo sauce. Great w/seasoned fries or house chips. Make sure to have a pint of the Kroenburg 1664 pints to wash it down. Oh and BTW, it’s a great deal. Won’t disappoint your palllet or your wallet! Enjoy.“

“Amazing food and desserts!“

“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.“

“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“

“Food is from the pizza place next door and is OK, but subs were tiny and expensive. Go to India Oak for great subs and get double meat, take half home. The Oak has good bands every weekend night. Bands outside at Gabby's and in August, Iron Cross is having a 40th reunion gig on Gabby's patio. THE BROTHERS GRIMM will open and graying Northland High School alums will ROCK! I can't find the date on the Iron Cross website! Stupid hippies. And Gabby's website doesnt list entertainment or dates? Come on people! Get it together!? The characters who are regulars ARE entertaining though! Watch your car and park by the patio entrance...... cars have been stolen in front of Gabby's and the old Northland hood is sketchy!“

“Woodlands is a great place to hangout. The crowd is always great, service is efficient, beer is cold, and good food to boot. Any afterhours work gatherings we plan, it's always at Woodlands. Really like the vibe and crowd often found at Woodlands.“

“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*“

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

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

“I've been going there for years love this spot, Friendly atmosphere“

“We celebrate a friends birthday here. It was great, good drinks, staff is friendly and fun environment.“

“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”.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love the bloody Mary’s with bacon“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

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

“I love this place. Friendly staff and great pizza! Cute patio outside and also indoor dining.“

“It’s the best cocktail bar in Grandview“

“We had so much fun. It was my first time duck pin bowling. I would recommend for all ages.“

“Great people, food and drinks. Run614 Thursday and Saturday is the vibe.“

“This place is the real deal. I'm looking forward to visiting and eating here on my next trip to Columbus. I'm 78 and have enjoyed watching the Lisska kids grow up and into the business their father started at least 78? years ago.“

“found a rare bottle 👍 ✅ 😁“

“This a very old menu!!“

“We ordered the chicken and waffles, a Baileys Irish coffee, and a side of bacon. The waffle was amazing the only thing was it may have been maybe sitting under a light for a while becuase there was a portion of it that was crispy like chips, I didn't care for that at all. The coffee was lukewarm, and my bacon was overcooked. But the reason i gave them 5 stars is because the service was SUPERB! We were visiting and didn't know of any places to go so we asked the waitress and they took their time and gave us a list of a couple places we could visit in the city and to me that in itself was awesome. Also the waitress removed the overcooked bacon and the lukewarm coffee from my tab, when she noticed that I didn't eat it, without me even having to ask, although I wouldn't have, I would've just paid for it. This place was clean and it was absolutely, for us, worth it.“

“Our favorite Spot. Close to Home!“

“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.“

“This establishment is family owned, with live music on the weekend, great happy hour along with very nice service. I have been a customer of the Canabar for a very long time, definitely would recommend meeting your friends there!!!“

“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!!!!“

“Great selection of draft and bottled beers. The place is really big and the bar goes all the way from the entrance to the back of the place. The staff were really friendly.
The short rib nachos were good but the burger was cold and the bread wasn’t toasted it lacked some love.“

“Fun eats and drinks with board games and music! Geek out and roll a d6!“

“After a long work week of mega hrs I didn't want to go too far for a burger and didn't want fast food. I also had to grab some things from Kroger so my husband and I stopped in here for our first time to give it a try.First thing we noticed upon coming in we were pleasantly greeted. Place was a bit worn, but not in a gross way, more like a well lived in house.Menu prices were very good. I just wish my belly was bigger to try more things, but all in due time.Food was delicious, service was wonderful, and this place is now added to our list of places to grab a bite while doing running.We love Mom and pop places and while not a drinker the food will bring us back“

“Service is top-notch 👌 👏
Makayla working the bar is really good at her job. Super friendly and engaging. She knows her stuff and makes the customer feel welcomed.
When you come inside, it's cozy, and it doesn't feel like a bar. It's been here for years but is up to date. Comfortable seating areas by fire, seating at bar, and pool tables, a smoking area outside, and the bathrooms are very clean.“

“Nice neighborhood bar. It reminds me of the show Cheers. There's a new owner, I got to meet her, her name is Edie. She welcomed me in, and made me aware of the things to look forward to through the week. I missed the opportunity to see the Tyson fight there, but I'll definitely be back to the 840 Lounge for sure.“

“Saw Lakeview last night, the bartenders were great! Good vibe, friendly service, I love small independent venues!!“

“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 local venue! Great owners promoting area musicians“

“Miss Marlene and her husband are the best. Even though I no longer visit very often, I will forever come back here. No other bar will welcome you and make you feel apart of their family more than miss marlene and bossman at sky bar?
Miss you!“

“Bartenders were great, food was good. Will be back“
