43 Best Sports Bars near Grandview Heights

“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.“

“Honestly I’m mad I just found out about JT’s! I’ve tried the calzone and Italian sub so far and both were excellent! Definitely will be going back for pizza soon. The calzone was crispy and topped with lots of butter & Parmesan cheese. You can tell the veggies are fresh (not those canned mushrooms ?) and the sausage quality is top notch. The sub was delicious, whatever ham they use has some serious flavor. The only thing that I would change would be the sauce. It has great flavor, but it’s not sweet how I like. But that’s just my personal preference! Also, noticed they have daily deals and monthly specials on their website. Definitely will have to stop in for a margarita sometime! 10/10 would recommend ?Parking: It can be challenging getting out of the parking lot…but there’s not much they can do about that issue“

“GREAT Youngstown-style pizza. Cool atmosphere. Nice beer selection.“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

“Amazing staff and food!!“

“Server was fun! Food was great!“

“Although I'm from out of state and only staying in Columbus one night, this place was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing, the food was incredible and at a very reasonable price. The atmosphere well I'll put like this, is I lived here (Columbus) I would be the Norm of the bar. If I am ever going through Columbus again, this will be a must stop for me. Thank you, Flatiron, for the amazing experience.“

“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“

“Yall give Trinity a raise! We have been several times to the new location and she is easily the best server we have had. She was attentive even though she was busy. Even when she didn't stop at the table I could see her looking to check on our table. she was freindly,prompt and kept the drinks full which is hard to do when you are so busy! She was super quick to handle a hair in the appetizer and replaced it immediately. As always we will be back and hopefully get Trinity again! Great food,Great drinks and now Great service!!!!“

“A nice place. Seemed clean and had friendly people working. The place seems to attract locals for their trivia games. My daughter ordered the bbq wings, while her husband had the buffalo wings. I had a 1/4 sub called the pistol without the bun. Everything was good. If you are in the area and want a relaxed, fun place, this is it.“

“patrons,bar tenders, people,juke box,food,n best bar/people I've ever had pleasure of finding. Stube is a little secret bar frm 1966!! (✷‿✷)(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤“

“I went because of some friends invited me to come watch the playoffs. I couldn't hear the game because of course everyone was yelling and drinking but I can the bartender was nice and fast! He was on it with the drinks!!! I didn't like how he was taking a shot here and there but he was very attentive to the customers! Everyone was generous when tipping him and he knew every single last person in the bar! That tells u a lot about his customer service and bartender skills! There's a big hug he smoking patio that's half covered and uncovered with little umbrellas to sit under. AND FLIPPING DONATOS SHARE THE SAME KITCHEN AND THEY WAS OVER AND GIVE THE BARTENDER THE ORDER AND HE HANDS IT TO YOU!!! BIG PLUS BOI!!!! pizza and beer! Lol I don't live up north so probably won't come Back but this place was definitely a good time!!!“

“This bar epitomizes the home town old school vibe(this bar has been in business since the 1930's)! Punky and Aggie behind the bar are pure awesomeness! I am from Cleveland and always look for old school bars when I travel. This bar is one of the best I ever stopped into. Aggie today (has been here 13+ years) had homemade deviled eggs and pickled eggs with beets. Amazing! Literally one of the best bars I have ever been into during the day! Holler!!!“

“Great place to watch the game“

“We had a I love seeing the Christmas tree and I like there was a door that we could close and we all had room to walk around and even the baby that was 2 years old she loved running back and forth to that Christmas tree we will be there next year thank you so much all the people that Merry Christmas Happy New Year's Ferguson familyParking: It was nice I have trouble walking very easy getting to the front door I love how it's laid out food was excellent plenty of room to move around specially for 2 year oldKid-friendliness: There was 20 of us and with a 2-year-old it was a great place for her to run around“

“This was my first visit to Roosters. Customer service was great! Ordered 10 traditional wings and tots, fruit punch. Everything was good except unfortunately they use chicken that has clearly been pumped with growth hormones and because of that reason I really couldn't enjoy the chicken wings.“

“It is a 5 star little bar when Mandy, Ray, Chad, or John is behind the bar. All are very personable and do an excellent job! Great group of "regulars". When Letty is behind the bar, you might or might not get served, as playing on her laptop or talking to someone is far more important to her versus serving someone a drink. She is loud, foul-mouthed, and obnoxious!“

“We recently had a surprise birthday party for my wife and I cannot say enough great things about this Yogi's location. The entire staff was attentive, friendly and accommodating... but would like to specifically mention Ryan and Kennedy. Ryan is the manager who helped setup the party and was very communicative making sure we had everything needed leading up to the event. Kennedy was the bartender/server who helped us with drinks and food all night during the event... they were both beyond amazing.Highly recommend this Yogi's location for anyone just trying to catch a game with good food/cold beer or looking to plan their next party.“

“It's very loud at times, and it's a family bar, so often there are kids running between tables screaming at each other.Vegetarian options: I have a friend who is pescatarian, and the cooks always modify existing dishes to fit his dietary restrictions, without complaint.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Parlay. The atmosphere was incredible. The perfect spot to watch March Madness. My bartenders were super attentive and friendly, and gave recommendations for other things to do while in town. Food was delicious. 5/5 stars and would absolutely come back if in the area again.“

“Found this place just by driving around my first time in the area. The drinks stayed full and the food was a pleasant surprise. My lady and I saw so many people getting pizzas we knew there was no way we could leave without one. Supreme Pizza, Wings with a Spicy Honey Garlic sauce, and some Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks with Marinara were all fantastic for us both. Not to mention the Old Fashioned that Betty H. served up was better than many that I have had back home in Northern Kentucky. This will be a place I recommend for friends and family simply because on top of the great service, fantastic food, and quality drinks, the overall atmosphere of this laid back little dive bar is my kind of vibe.“

“Great place for some cold beer, good food. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have great wings and the last time I was there I had their fried shrimp appetizer. Was really good. For those sports fans, there are plenty of TV's and seating. Definitely a place to check out.“

“Good food and service except you have to get our own online takeout orders instead of just going to the hostess station to pick them up like call in orders gets to. It's very congested and crowded with staff. It makes me feel in the way and less likely to order.“

“We showed up around 4pm on a weekday. Later that night, they had trivia (so it gets pretty busy). Our server was awesome. Quick service and great drinks. After a couple of beers, I decided to get a pizza. The pizza was awesome. Just beware. This is a bar first, a restaurant second. I was told their oven could only bake limited things (limited pies). So, depending on how crowded it is and what is ordered, the time it takes to get your pie may be long. I got my pizza (well done), it was great.“

“I know dive bars….. I’ve been going to them since I was 7 years old with my Dad. This is a classic dive bar! Pool table… check. Cheap beer…. Check. Bar tender who knows the regulars by name… check. Decor that makes no sense… check. ( see pic of mascot.“

“Coaches is a Bethel Road institution. Is it named after a guy nicknamed Coach? Probably not, because the name would be Coach's. Is it a homage to sports coaches in general? Nobody knows... well somebody probably does, but not this guy. Options. This is what Coaches provides. You can have the standard 21+ belly up to the bar experience. There are tables in the back where you can bring a few kids and not feel completely terrible about your decision making as a parent. You can have a private booth experience separated by plexiglass to catch up with an old friend or maybe a date if money is tight or you are iffy on it. They even have a fire you can sit by if you have a larger group. Those flames are animated on a TV, but will still keep you warm. Options. The hidden gem at Coaches is the outdoor patio. When the weather + your mindset are right, and with enough cocktails, you can feel like you are on vacation. The high fencing that surrounds you will make you completely forget you're sitting in a strip mall parking lot next to a storefront called, "Asian Massage." I can promise you this... the food, drinks and conversation will fill you up. Sometimes that's all you need.“

“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.“

“It is a large place with lots of sand volleyball, outdoor area, bar and dancing area. It was cute, everyone seemed to know how to dance really well and the bar tender was nice. It just was not my cup of tea - per se because I am more of a sit down, chill or play games that do not require athleticism but it was still a cute place nonetheless. If you like dancing (especially line-dancing, country music and volleyball, this place is probably for you!).“

“The hospitality we were shown this weekend was unmatched. It was a cold evening and we were wanting to feed our 6 and 8 year olds before going to a concert. The wait was well over an hour and half for a table. The staff and owner not only gave my children free drinks but they found us a spot out of the way so my children could eat pizza without waiting. I can’t tell you how much that meant to this momma. Thank you so much!“

“This is a great local pub. I'm not interested in high end. I'm looking for a place with friendly service, nice atmosphere and cheap, good beer. Andrea is super friendly and helpful. $5 local IPA, $2 PBR, free soda for designated drivers. They don't serve food (except for free tacos on Tuesday and free food on Saturday (was pizza last time we were here). Great restaurant across the street, The Iron Grill, has takeout that you're welcome to eat at Paddy Mac's. Enjoyed Thursday night football. Will be back often.“

“Today was my first time and I was delighted, two days before I asked them this way if they broadcast a game and they told me it was probable, I thought it was great that they responded to me. Today when I arrived at the place Kira who was at the bar was so kind that she played me the game I wanted to see, super friendly, she was always attentive if we needed anything. I will definitely return.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“First time ordering from here. WS not sure if they delivered to our address, but thought heck I'll give it a try. I think we found our new pizza delivery place. Great tasting food we just order two pepperoni pizza and spaghetti dinner meal. All the food was excellent.“

“Woodland's is a cool place to hang out. Good environment, good drinks, and Blackbird kitchen does a good job with the food. They have volleyball, pool tables, and mini bowling. Good place for all ages. You can set up private events for a good price. It's a little hidden gem.“

“Great place for a party. Great place to play/learn pool. Tables are fast blue diamonds and they have tables at hourly rates or you can pay with quarters. Drinks are moderately priced for the area and there's a private patio with outdoor seating for smoking.“

“Brooke, my server was very attentive. She helped me find an old menu item that I wanted to eat and had the cooks make. She went above and beyond to make sure my service was top of the notch! She deserves all the credit and appreciation and hopefully a raise! Thank you Brooke! From Reese and I <3“

“Bernard’s is a great bar to watch games shoot pool and play darts. The staff is great friendly and always give timely service and make great relationships with regulars. I am a regular there and bartends like Jonis and Kylie know my order and bring it to me when I walk into the door. It’s types of relationships with staff like the one I have with Jonis and Kylie that keeps me coming back to Bernard’s every week.“

“the food was amazing I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. my server was awsome“

“Great place to hang out! Great staff. Always welcoming!“

“Easily one of the best campus area bars. Fun for current students especially for mug nights. But also one of the few remaining nostalgic bars for alumni to revisit. Great location, great layout with pool and darts and outdoor space. Will be back for sure.“

“So I came here for a birthday gathering and didn’t have any pre conceived notions. The outside was very much giving dive but when we walked in I was impressed. A good sized space with room to breathe so to speak and it was very clean. The bartender was friendly and quick to serve. I met a few random people who were friendly and added to fun atmosphere. As far as the food goes, the wings were so delicious! Lemon pepper dry rub was the favorite! Tender and the seasonings were just right. Would definitely come back!“
