“Barbie was amazing!! Definitely coming back!!!“

“Went there for lunch today and I have to say the food and service were outstanding. It was the wing special today. My daughter polished off a full 12-piece order. My wife and I split a burger and I got a few wings as well. Everything was hot and fresh. Truly good experience.“

“We stopped in tonight, they were busy but only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The hostess was very sweet as was the bartender. Our waitress was Macie and she was SO sweet and so amazing. Also have to note that the manager (I think she said his name was David or Dave) was busting his butt, taking care of everything from seating to bussing tables. EVERY single person working were giving it 110%!!! We were very impressed.... thank you and keep up the great work!!!“

“Great bartenders, I’ll try the food next time.“

“This is without a doubt - The Gem of Columbus.

Everything is perfect all the time here.

If I could buy this place and put it in a trust, only to ensure it would be preserved and remain unchanged throughout the generations, I would without hesitation.“

“Our waiter Dylan was amazing the food was spectacular! The pork schnitzel was enough to feed two. . Great prices and terrific atmosphere! We look forward to coming again“

“Happy 4th anniversary! Fun night. Great crowd“

“Great food good service and ambiance.“

“although tailored for smaller crowds, the atmosphere was great. My wife and I went for the sunday NY Strip special and the shrimp PoBoy. It was phonominal. Excellent steak cooked to perfectrion and the loded mash was superb. PoBoy was on point, and the drinks were great too! Highly recommended. Affordable!!“

“At Old Bag of Nails, where stories pour,
And publight flickers on wood and floor,
You’ll find the fish in golden coat,
A sturdy meal that tries to float.

The chips are thick, the portions bold,
A platter hearty, warm—not cold.
A seaside dream in Midwest guise,
With vinegar hopes and tartar ties.

But though the size brings cheer and pride,
There’s flavor yet that tries to hide.
A dash more love, a brine, a bite—
Would lift the taste to truer height.

Still, gather here, where tankards clink,
Where salt and stories meet at brink.
For simple fare with promise near,
The Old Bag offers honest cheer.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite, before a show at the Shottenstein Center. Was drawn to a wide tap selection, menu, and good reviews. Overall great experience. Ordered at the bar and food was brought to our patio table. Potato wedges were probably the best I’ve had. Would recommend to anyone, and stop in again.“

“Great place to sit outside and watch the game!!“

“Great music and service. Eric poured some great drinks.“

“absolutely best bar around.. 100%“

“Toledo ohio location, FOOD WAS GREAT, WAS MY ANNIVERSARY BUT THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SEEN MY SERVER THREE TIMES, ONCE TO TAKE MY ORDER, NEXT WEN MY FOOD ARRIVES, AND LAST WEN I ASKED FOR THE BILL,NEVER GOT A REFILL FOR MY DRINKS AND WALKED PASSED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT CHECKING“

“Paid $80 for an uber eats order of wings and fish and chips. Ordered extra blue cheese and extra tarter sauce. Both things central to our meal...didn't get any sauce. This is extremely annoying and frankly I'm absolutely sick and tired of basic things like this getting missed on orders. The meal is literally ruined over something so minor...do better.

Edit. While I'm keeping the above message intact, the original "service" 1 star review really was an angry culmination of repeated order delivery errors from a multitude of resturants, not just Barelys. In fact, we still ate our meal the next day (with newly acquired sauces) and I have to admit the food was awesome. Additionally, we received a very friendly and prompt response from Jason the GM who graciously accepted the feedback and pledged to spread my frustration, so it's only right to update the service to 5. Mistakes happen, and yes I was angry, but their immediate and professional response deserves a rescore. We will be giving Barleys another go and I'm confident my future review with be 5 stars across the board, from the start.“

“Great dive bar in an interesting location! They only take cash but all of the drinks are very affordable. Make sure to bring quarters to play pool. There's a touch tunes that was off when we arrived, but the bartender quickly fixed it for us. It smells a bit old and like cigarettes, but that's just part of the charm. The bathroom is surprisingly nice.“

“Everything was excellent! Our server was attentive and checked on us multiple times. I had the press burger, onion rings, and a cup of potato soup. The burger and onion rings were amazing! The soup was thinner than I expected, but the flavor was very good. I very much look forward to going again to try other menu options!“

“So I really come here for the chicken like for yearssss the chicken has always been delicious… BUT the dj TRASHHHHH been trash for years 🤌🏾 but the chicken delicious“

“upstairs is great for a private party. My son was playing guitar and keyboard. Great staff, very cool interior decor and great place all round.“

“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 ❤️“

“They revamped and opened back up with a good menu and great food! great atmosphere, good people and service. New games and activities, arcade. I had a cheeseburger and fries, it was very good and worth every penny. definitely stop by for a drink or delicious food, friendly folks etc. It's becoming a favorite spot for us and a lot of work went into the kitchen and upgrades etc so dont be afraid to stop in. I dont work there, not family etc just leaving an honest review on the owner, the employees, food and atmosphere. 10 outta 10!“

“Nice, friendly place- ideal for a hang out with a group of friends.“

“This a very old menu!!“

“This place pours the strongest, most dangerously good Long Islands in town. The vibe at Char Bar is unbeatable—no frills, no fuss, just the perfect dive bar

Many people aren't aware that Abraham Lincoln spent the night there once many years ago! Historical!“

“I recently visited The Rack in Columbus with a group of friends, and we had a fantastic time! The place has a great, laid-back vibe that made for a perfect last spot out. We played pool and darts, and with three pool tables available, there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The ceilings added a nice touch to the atmosphere! We also enjoyed a few drinks, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it's a chill spot that's perfect for hanging out and having fun with friends Recommend!“

“It's a lot smaller than I thought. The bartender was super friendly and served us fast. There's not much to do besides drink and hang out on the patio. There was a lot of riffraff in the parking lot. But I noticed that people were meeting in the parking lot. I had never seen them inside. Some guys were super rude, throwing candy at females and disrespecting them at the end of the night. We had to leave early because of the situation.“

“relaxing,pool table is nice, cool customers“

“First time to visit with a member for the Irish Fest in July. Very hot day so spent a lot of time inside listening to live music and drinking Smithwicks. Did not try the bar food but there was a food truck nearby. Folks were very friendly and helpful. Good time.

Kid-friendliness: Though a bar inside, kids are absolutely welcomed and safe.“

“Best food around. Everything is amazing ❣️“

“awesome place. owner friendly and welcoming. he supports veterans!“

“Love the staff and clientele! My home bar now! I walked in almost 4 years ago and stop in 5 times a week! ❤️“

“I heard about Mac's a while back and today I finally made a point of dining there mid-afternoon. I judge it to be a place where you can have a cold drink, a good meal, and visit with your friends. Low-volume music is playing in the background but not enough to interfere with normal volume conversation. Very friendly and efficient servers. They kinda keep their eyes on you during your visit so all you have to do is to raise your hand and one of them will be with you in a moment. The food is very good with decent-sized servings at reasonable prices. At the moment, I plan on going there for some "Me Time" once a month.“

“Cool people Great times“

“St. James Tavern is one of those rare places that feels like it’s meant to be there. It’s got that perfect dive-y charm—dim lighting, strong drinks, good people, and a vibe that just feels right. The kind of place where stories get told, regulars become friends, and no one’s trying too hard.

It’s also a space with heart. You can feel it in the way the community shows up here—for causes, for each other, for good nights and bad ones. I happened to catch a recent review that felt wildly out of sync with what this place is all about. You know the kind—vague, dramatic, and more about someone not getting their way than anything real. This bar isn’t built on ego or attitude. It’s built on connection, consistency, and quiet kindness.

If you know, you know. And if you don’t? Pull up a stool, order a drink, and give it a minute. You will. Shout out to “Buddy” —best liquid therapist this side of the Scioto River!“

“had a great time food was awesome“

“Our whole experience was awesome because of our bartender Mike. We had a crappy night and it happened to be our anniversary, and ended up picking this place to have some Drinks. Mike took great care of us and celebrated with us with a shot. He always made sure we had a drink and had great conversation. Awesome experience!“
