“Great local, laid-back place, with good prices and friendly people. love Friday night karaoke“

“Great bar! Clean bathrooms, nice atmosphere, outdoor patio, and outstanding service! Rilley is amazing!!!! I feel like like a lot of people don’t about the lower level which has 2 pool tables and cornhole! This place checks all the boxes for me. I was having such a good time, I forgot my favorite jacket. Guess I’ll be seeing Rilley again soon!“

“Absolute top shelf. Great Tapas. The happy hour menu was right priced as well.“

“We visited The 698 for the first time a couple weeks ago. We had a large party and were celebrating two birthdays. The service we received from the staff was out of this world! A special shoutout to our server, Riley and the bartender, who took such great care of us! The food was phenomenal and they were so thoughtful to try and time the sushi orders with the cooked orders.

Without a doubt, we will be returning!“

“Extremely late post (2024)

Had a great time at happy hour. Nothing like being rooftop on a great weather day. I thoroughly enjoyed my oysters and the pizza. Good music, nice bar area. Pretty big crowd after a while. That's a good sign that you guys do good work here. Keep it up. I will be back.“

“its a nice place and there's a cool little patio thats perfect for smoking a lil weed“

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

“Love this place. What a hidden gem. Tracked in down on a recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. Bohemian with a hip, homey vibe. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my hangout.“

“Nike Sports Lounge is a joke, they literally let a 54 year old guy back in that punched me square in my face. Went there after work thinking I was completely safe, because he was "barred" and he was sitting 5 feet from me. They're Saying they petitioned to let him come back in. He was barred for only 60days apparently, double what they normally do she says🙄 Imagine if that was your daughter/sister etc.... Edit: I was completely sober that night, I came there after work to pick up my intoxicated friends, I remember everything and videotape doesn't lie.“

“A nice clean place Live Bands weekends and karaoke on Thursday so stop in and enjoy your self thank you !!“

“Great staff. Good food. Always come when I’m Columbus.“

“Great spot for shows and the staff there are incredible at what they do!“

“Bowling here is fantastic. If the lanes are full, they'll give you a free card for the arcade while you wait.

That's not even counting the generosity they'll show if something goes wrong with your lane. Free food and a time extension.

I can't think of a better place to bowl.“

“always a great place to enjoy pool with friends.“

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

“I visited this location on 8/10/2023 to help celebrate my brother's birthday with family and friends! This place is so amazing with friendly employees and a great atmosphere 👏 Although there's no kitchen but a food truck is conveniently located right outside in the back of the building! I must say the chicken and fries were very delicious and nicely seasoned! I also tried the surf tacos..this is a must try!! Drink specials were going on all evening with 1/2 off! If you're looking for a new place to hangout with friends and family in the downtown area, this is definitely the place to be! I'll definitely be back soon! Great job Michael Towns and your partners!“

“Ten Pin is a phenomenal venue. Even before the massive renovation, they were great for bowling. Now, the bowling is bigger and better. The arcade is nice, but could use a few more classic arcade games (in my opinion). The big shocker with Ten Pin is the food. Do not think this is bar or bowling alley food; I keep being wowed when I try different items each time. Talking to the staff, they said everything is scratch-made. It's all great!“

“Came in after a 12 hour shift and made it in for happy hour. Shots are 1/2 price at the time. My bartender was excellent! Now to what I came for, the Tyler's grippo sticky wings. I am not a lover of chicken wings so if I say the wings are fantastic, they are just that! They serve whole wings, they're fresh and the wings legit taste like Grippo chips! They're phenomenal. They did not disappoint. Definitely a must try!“

“The Bourbon house is a gem in Columbus that I don’t think many people know about and it has the biggest whiskey collection in Columbus! It is a crafty place with crafty bartenders serving the brightest spirits all year round. Located downtown in a protected historic building called The Buckeye Building it offers enough space for all types of occasions and gatherings. Great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere!“

“Chicken and Waffles were delicious!“

“Good atmosphere, good food, good drinks.“

“This place is absolutely charming, and the view is unbeatable! The two women working up front were amazing. We were seated right away, and our server went above and beyond to accommodate my food restrictions. She was so friendly with my son and made sure we had everything we needed. He absolutely loves dining out, and it was such a pleasant experience. Thanks for a fantastic evening!“
