Great local sports bar. Food is very good and prices are reasonable. The fact that you can watch your kids play at the park across the street while you finish your meal on the patio really puts this place over the top.Parking: Plenty of on street parking on 1st Ave and several parking spots in front of the restaurant as well.Kid-friendliness: Good options on the kids menu plus right across from a great park. Easy to see your kids play at the park while you are on the patio of the restaurant.

My girlfriend and I moved into the neighborhood recently. Wanted to find a place we could regular at and Bobcat is now our go-to. Great food, great drinks, and the staff is wonderful. They have fun trivia on wednesdays, daily specials, and a great happy hour.Parking: Great parking lot behind the strip.Kid-friendliness: A full arcade.
A great neighborhood bar for gathering with friends and fellow alumni. Good beer selection and apps. We had wings, pretzels, chicken fingers and fried pickles - everything tasted great! Loved the atmosphere - we’ll be back!

WAY over priced! Went on a Wednesday during half price appetizer hours, shared 2 appetizers, shared 5 beers, and Bill was well over $40 before tip. NEVER again.

We tried this place tonight and it was a hellscape of children. No one wants to go to a bar with kids programming….the service was fine but so many

Had a great experience today at Bobcat! Arrived an hour before the Browns/Texans playoff game and the place was packed, but they were so accommodating, rearranging the space to add additional seating, including our party of five. And despite the capacity crowd, service was just incredible! Food and beverages came out quickly and always served with a smile. And speaking of the food, it was some of the best bar bites I've had in Columbus. Chicken tenders were great, smash burger was outstanding, and the salads fresh and delicious. So happy to have a great sports bar in the neighborhood!!

need real lettuce and slice of onion not diced onions real lettuce not chopped up on burger that falls off 1 st bite, disappointment,great set up for watching games cold beer,doesn't take much to make a great smash burger.

I never knew that a place where Bobcats could gather around and share the common love of being a Bobcat existed, especially in Columbus Ohio. It was well worth the drive from Dayton Ohio to find a little piece of paradise.
The food was great and quick. Loved the atmosphere and the crowd was welcoming and fun?

I did not try the food…yet so hence why I didn’t rate. The place was packed! Everybody was in a good mood, and the vibe was fun and positive. Will definitely be going back and love that this is an Ohio University alumni spot!

Ordered chicken quesadillas. Asked for pepper jack instead of American. Got quesadillas with American cheese. Easy oversight but why did the waitress had to lie about the pepper-jack mixed in with American. I didn't want any American cheese to begin with. Nice attempt. Never going back.

I went here on two occasions in the last couple weeks. On a weeknight the service was excellent and food was excellent as well. No complaints! Also went on the following Sunday at about 6pm. Service was poor, our server just watched football the entire time. The drinks all of the sudden became "self serve" and the food felt rushed. My burger was cooked at medium rare, I was way less impressed. Overall the atmosphere is nice but the consistency of the service was concerning!
