50 Best Sports Bars near Grandview Heights

“Best in town , cheap drinks great food great service fun people“

“Had a date night this evening in Grandview and decided to stop by for couple drinks. We had a blast sitting at the bar striking conversations with the wonderful Saturday night bartender. Seems to be a great asset to the Derby team!“

“Food is great however educate your staff on wines and cocktails. Also $63 for a hamburger fries, drink, and appetizers tip is getting ridiculous.“

“We were in town for the night and The Revelry Tavern was highly recommended from a doctor I was seeing. He was spot on ,the service was absolutely incredible starting with our server, explaining the menu and what was good. Then many employees from bartenders and others checked on us if we needed anything. Visit this wonderful restaurant,you will be glad you did.“

“Five stars aren’t enough. An experience I can only describe as spiritual. The staff didn’t just serve drinks, they served purpose. And Danny? A mix between a saint, a bar back, and a life coach. Gentle, lively, and slightly too good at his job. I’m a changed man.“

“Yana is by far the best server at Parlay. She helped us get a game on TV that we wanted to watch and even moved our table to the boardroom so we could watch with audio. She checked in frequently and kept our glasses full. 10 out of 10. Would come again and ask for her.“

“Great sports bar! The atmosphere was lively, the TVs were everywhere, and the staff kept the drinks coming without a long wait. I went in to catch a game and ended up staying longer because the energy was so good. Definitely a fun spot to watch sports and hang out !“

“Awesome place for �“

“Nightly specials and sports on TV. It’s great.“

“They serve a chipotle sauce with their chicken quesadillas that I swear is literal liquid crack. Freaking amazing!“

“We are from out of town and needed to feed 16 people after our original plan fell through. I called and spoke to Jeremy and he was quick to accommodate. I have to say the service was impeccable and so was the food. Every one of our orders was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server ( I’m sorry i don’t remember her name, but I’m sure she knows who we are talking about) was amazing and professional and never missed a beat! I would highly recommend this establishment !! Thank you all so much ❤️“

“Best chicken wings I have in my entire life hands down. I love my chicken wings and am from Wisconsin, I would happily drive that far for a wing dinner that tastes that good. The amount of people I have given 1 wing to only for them to turn around and go buy an order is insane. I always order extra and inform the uninformed of the wings every time I am in town.“

“Went here on a whim when we got hungry and a bunch of other places were closed. We had Becca as a server, and she was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Extremely attentive without being overbearing, positive without being fake, quick with refills and checking on us. And props to the cooks and bartenders, my drink was flawless and the food was seriously out of this world, I'm tempted to go back for the cheese curds alone. Zero complaints, can't recommend this place enough.“

“Amaaaazing food, great ownership! Very happy this place opened and hope to see it succeed! Definitely recommend Sunday brunch! And Weds $1 wings!!! I hope they do one get some mimosa specials! And look forward to having a fun birthday party!“

“Great food! We had pizza, subs, meatballs, and pasta. All was good! Great place for an early Sunday get together!“

“Cheeseburger and Fries was so amazing! ❤️ Would like to be back again sometimes!“

“Ive never been in this place but my sons father brought chicken home last night & it was delicious. Im on my way here now for 25 wings on my way to work. Whoever the cook is needs a food truck with just wings. I would buy them everyday.“

“Nancy is the absolute best! And Thursday night trivia is awesome!“

“went for a bourbon tasting really liked the decor of the bar. Nice fire on patio! management and waitresses were nice and accommodating. I will be back“

“The best and crunchiest pizza I have ever had! First time having it and it will definitely be number one on my list! The sub was loaded with meat and super good too!“

“I love this bar it's awesome and I highly recommend it. The customers and staff are very friendly. me and my mom have only been there twice and definitely plan on going again.“

“Solid sports bar. Wing sauces were pretty good. Sarache Bourbon not overly spicy but enough of a kick to make it interesting. Creamy Parm Garlic was the best sauce to go with it. Chicken sandwhich crispy and juicy. Lots of Tv's and clean enviornment

4.6/5“

“Friendly, small, and welcoming atmosphere. These bartenders will greet you by name and have your usual ready if you are a regular.
If you’re a new face, someone will ask for your life story in a genuinely interested way.
You’ll leave feeling like family if you give it long enough.
You won’t feel out of place. Unless you’re intolerant. Be kind and you’re in the right place.“

“Good food good service the burgers are amazing the pizza is good too“

“We came here for a watch party that was advertised by the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was awesome! Sharon was our server, and she was very attentive throughout the evening. The food was good. I had the gyro and my partner had the chicken sandwich with hot honey. Both were delicious.

The restaurant is very nice and has the biggest TV’s I’ve seen in a sports bar. Aside from the bar, there are also kiosks/teller area for those who wish to place bets on the games.

The watch party was also well organized and fun. They had a raffle and the arena host from the Blue Jackets was walking around making sure everyone had a good time. The goal patrol was also around, along with a former player who was signing items and taking photos.

Highly recommend attending a watch party. Even when hockey isn’t in season, this is an awesome place to spot in to watch a game or grab a bite to eat!“

“Cheeseburger and Fries was so amazing! ❤️ Would like to be back again sometimes!“

“Stopped in for pizza...it was amazing. We will definitely be back“

“Love this place, but really? Kitchen closes at 9pm during Ohio State and Notre Dame Championship game that started at 730. It’s 9pm, the house is packed, not an empty seat, not even halftime and the kitchen is closed. And they call themselves the number one place to watch the Buckeyes…kitchen would be opened if I ran this place.“

“Delicious pizzas, friendly bar staff and just the right amount of small town feel that you want in a bar.“

“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“

“First time I ever eat here, I was passing through. They were super busy but we only waited 30mins and appetizers came out within 5 mins or so. Food was out within about 20 mins. We did not order a single thing that didn't taste phenomenal!

I was worried their pizza would be too thin of crust since they don't make anything other than that, but it tasted so good I forgot it was thin crust. It wasn't a crunchy thin crust either, it was soft dough.

Their boneless wings were absolutely amazing. We will absolutely be going back.“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

“Great food, super friendly staff that actually get to know me, good drinks, and fun events.“

“Awesome interesting clientele! Everyone is super friendly, especially the staff! It’s small, clean, laid back with a decent menu of mostly fried fare That is the only negative, the whole place smells like a fryolator, you will need to wash your entire outfit, down to your skivies. It’s worth it though!“

“My friend and I are regulars at this Roosters location. The food is always fresh and made-to-order, and you really can’t beat their prices these days! We did have one experience where the service was very poor, which was frustrating, but I decided to give them another try. I’m glad I did because the service is now back to the high standard I expect. I highly recommend this spot for a consistent and affordable meal.“

“Great spot with good vibes“

“We were in town for a volleyball tournament and stumbled upon Flatiron Tavern on Friday afternoon. After one visit, it quickly became our go-to spot for the entire weekend.

What immediately stood out was the welcoming, neighborhood feel. The front door was wide open on a beautiful summer afternoon, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax after a long day. The staff made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. Gunner, Drayven, Katie, Emma, and Brent were all incredibly friendly, personable, and attentive. Their genuine hospitality is what kept bringing us back throughout our three-day stay.

We were traveling with kids, and the staff was very accommodating when our kids sat at a separate table. It’s those little touches that make visitors feel comfortable and appreciated.

The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were consistently enjoyable, but what really sets Flatiron Tavern apart is the people. Every visit felt relaxed, welcoming, and authentic.

The one exception was a staff member who came on shift during one of our visits and again on Sunday. The energy of the room noticeably changed. She seemed overwhelmed and scattered, and the warm, easygoing vibe that had defined our previous experiences disappeared. On Friday, she immediately closed the front door, cutting off the fresh air and open atmosphere that had made the space so inviting. While everyone has off days and busy shifts, the contrast between her approach and the rest of the staff was significant.

That said, one employee doesn’t define a place. The overwhelmingly positive experiences we had with the rest of the team are the reason we’ll remember Flatiron Tavern so fondly. If we’re back in the area for another tournament, we’ll definitely be returning. It’s the kind of local spot every town hopes to have—a place where good food, good drinks, and genuinely good people make you feel right at home.“

“Great restaurant and wonderful staff.“

“Little place with friendly locals“

“We were in town for a Buckeyes game. Our AirBnb was about two blocks away so this was so convenient. We loved everything about it. The atmosphere as soon as we walked in, we knew we’d love it. The owner greeted us at the door and welcomed us. We had the pizza which was great! The pretzels were also amazing!!! Would definitely recommend!“

“Basic Mitch for the win! amazing food, and amazing bourbon selection!!“

“Super fun chill place where I’ve seen a lot of friendships grow through the years!“

“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!“

“Every good business starts at the top. The ownership is impeccable, unequaled knowledge of an establishment of this locations capabilities. Management is the cream of the crop. The service staff is an all-star team that is best friends with the locals but extremely hospital with 1st timers helping with food and drink specials. The perfect bar for the Memorial tournament.“

“I hadn't been here in a while, but stopped in today because I was early for lunch with a buddy.

I have been here before and will be back. Friendly staff, reasonable prices on drinks, and just a great atmosphere. What more can you ask for out of a pub?

I've never had the food mind you. I should probably try it out next time I stop in.“

“A great place to watch a game! The beer was cold, plenty of TVs and I enjoyed the crowd! We had the wings and they were delicious! The service was fast and efficient. The staff seemed super happy and it showed! We also found Renie’s to be very clean! This will be my new hangout for Sunday football! A hidden gem!“

“The food is delicious and the customer service is probably one of the best I’ve experienced.“

“We happened to see O'Manny's Pub while we were at Half Price Books and decided to stop in. Kyle, the bartender, greeted us like friends and we chatted as we drank our beverages. It is a relaxing place to enjoy a beer with friends. I recommend it to anyone.“

“Updated atmosphere! Clean, inviting. Our server, Holly, was top notch! She took great care of us. We ordered from the lunch menu. Cheeseburger and fries and the oriental salad. The cheeseburger and fries were hot and tasty. The oriental salad was HUGE (for a “lunch” portion). It was loaded with crispy chicken on top. The whole experience was very enjoyable! I recommend trying them out for sure.“
