50 Best Bars near Groveport

“Right as we picked our seats, we were instantly greeted and were able to get our drinks! Then only five minutes in, we took our orders and got our appetizer! This place has amazing service, food and the overall look of the place is really nice. You should definitely come here!Parking: Right as you turn into the parking lot, you should probably see many open parking spaces and it’s all free too!“

“Amazing service and food. We had the lamb burger, flavor burger, and jalapeño popper. All were fresh and delicious. Took home a piece of cheesecake which was too sweet for my palate. Also the kids popcorn chicken was a bit of a disappointment also. I think stick to the main menu and you can’t miss!“

“My husband and I frequent highbank very often. We usually go in large groups with co-workers and we always make reservations in advanced. We are always well accommodated, we never wait long for drinks, and the food is always on point. We've been going for about 1.5 years now and we have only ever been disappointed once, and when we brought it up to the waitress she was very quick to fix the problem. My husband has done a few tours, made his own bottle of whiskey, and he has nothing but amazing things to say about that as well. I'm not a straight whiskey girl, more of a cocktail girl, and their cocktails never ever disappoint. This is the perfect location to have high quality food with refreshing, perfect cocktails. We recommend highbank to everyone we talk to when it comes to food and drinks.“

“Atmosphere is awesome, love the dance floor. However drinks are too expensive, I can’t believe a domestic beer was $7 or $8. They could certainly play with the 70s theme more with the music. Can’t wait to go here in the summer, they seem to have a balcony.Parking: Street parking is free after 10pm or 11pm, depending on the area.“

“This is the 3rd time I've been to RingSide and I love it! The food is always amazingly delicious. The service is great. The staff is super personable, polite, and fun. The am since is fantastic as well. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“I really like this place, only thing I don’t like is how this is a jazz bar but they add $20 extra to your tab for them having a band. It’s a JAZZ bar! That’s like going to a water park and they charge you an extra $20 for the use of the water lol tipping the band should be optional for the customers or at least post a sign stating that. I don’t have a problem with paying it just through me off guard. Plus you’re still tipping the waiter.“

“i didn’t stay long enough for food (my flight was before 4) but i had such a lovely time here! jeremy is soooo nice and friendly. he is also very knowledgeable and i honestly could have stayed all day. definitely will return the next time i’m in town!“

“beautiful spot for a nice dinner! the ambiance is refined without being snobby; clean, comfy interior with low lighting is perfect for an intimate dinner. service is so nice and recommended great drinks and dishes based on our preferences. i can't remember all we got but the focaccia was a crowd pleaser and my chicken entree was perfect. i would love to visit again!“

“Nice little spot for dinner. The bartender recommended the meatloaf. (I was dining at the bar). It is BIG... and delicious.Entrees are 20-30, and the Manhattan is pretty darn good!Mike and Wyatt do a terrific job of taking care of the bar.I'll be back.I will definitely be back.“

“Nice bar with a relaxed modern atmosphere. You have to order everything at the bar and then bring it to your seating. I especially liked that there were 2 people playing chess and that the bartender came up with a non alcoholic cocktail I really enjoyed.“

“LOVED every aspect of this incredibly inclusive bar…hope Rumours will expand in the future & open a location in Cleveland, but until then the drive to Columbus was worth it to spend time with old friends & meet/mingle with incredible people. PRO TIP: Check out the phone booth &/or record wall for an amazing photo session after taking a pic of the stunning street side mural“

“The only time we ate from here was in June 2020. It was during the Covid-19 craziness. We ordered through Door Dash. We had told ourselves we would go eat in. That's what we did today. The atmosphere was AMAZING! So was the food and the service!!!WE WILL BE BACK!“

“I have been to Thurmans many times and always had a burger since that's what they are known for but this time I ventured out into unknown territory hoping the rest of the food was just as good and I was not disappointed at all. I tried their crispy chicken sandwich this time and it was crispy on the outside, juicy in the inside and HUGE! Our server provided excellent services and brought out food out when it was fresh of the grill, smoking hot. 10/10 recommend!“

“Always a good time. Only bad part is parking which is out of their hands - the food makes up for it including daily specials, which are always awesome to try. The service is always incredible. And the lighting is always perfect to enjoy your friends or family and not worry about everybody else around you.“

“This place is now part of every visit to Columbus. Live music is on point and the pool table and pinball adds to the fun. Plenty of local beers available as wellWheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately, the restrooms are on the second floor and there is no elevator“

“If and when this closes, the OSU campus as well as the city will lose a true institution. A place that is the true definition of "dive bar". One of nice people (patrons and employees), good pizza, great beer selection and prices. Love this place.“

“The atmosphere, the service, the views!!!! You can't go wrong here! Absolutely amazing and one of my newest favorite places to visit when I come to Columbus!!!! I felt like such a queen when my Son brought me here for a rooftop party ? Can't wait to return!!“

“The environment here is always buzzing and lively, and the staff is always going above and beyond. I go with my friends for casual dinners and drinks at least twice a month, and I've never had a bad experience. I absolutely love the grilled cheese bites with tomato soup, and I love how much the drink menu changes.“

“We went in for our anniversary dinner as we heard that their sushi is amazing. Its not the place to go, if you want to have a quiet dinner, with some romatic music but it is lively and happening. It has very nice view, as its name suggests. And the service is top class. Our waitress did a wonderful job in attending to our needs. They accomodated us really well and I would most definately go back to try rest of the food and drinks soon. Great place to go with group of friends.Only thing I did not like was Martinis but our waitress helped out with something else I like.“

“The place is full of nostalgia. I really enjoyed playing video games from my childhood. There were a handful of games that were down (not sure how long they've been down), but there were others to play. The environment is fun and friendly.“

“We were passing by here on a Friday evening after grabbing a bite to eat next door. It was our first time in here. The vibe and music was chill. We had a few drinks that were on point. A live band was setting up but we had somewhere else to be. I highly recommend this place for a nice chill spot. We didn't get a chance to try the food though.“

“Great tacos and a super fun atmosphere! We had a great server and the manager Dawn was very enthusiastic about welcoming us into the restaurant when I brought my friends for their first visit. After today it will definitely not be their last!“

“Great selection of beer and a nice outdoor area. They offer outdoor igloos along with curling and ice bumper cars.The beer choices ranged from pilsners to stouts. Buckeye Donuts is a must try!They have 2 food trucks onsite- RayRay's BBQ and Mikey's Late Night Slice pizza. Great place for dinner and a beer!“

“Me and a friend went here for dinner and drinks, and it did not disappoint!! We shared the Margherita pizza, the arugula salad with the amish grilled chicken added on, and truffle fries. Each and every dish was SO YUMMY!!! And it was more than enough food for us to split among the two of us. The Amish chicken was divine, so tender & flavorful. Not only that, but our server was so kind and helpful with recommendations. Their drinks were 10/10 as well and strong! I ordered the why is it spicy and my friend ordered a mule. We were both pleased with them! The ambiance is lively and the inside is a great balance of rustic and cute. Great option for a girls night & date night. I will be coming again!“

“Shout out to this spot for real - love a great dive/local bar.. and what's crazy is a grew up in this town and NEVER heard of it until recently moving back into the state . Service was awesome, the folks mad friendly and good beer selection, that's all I need.“

“Love the variety and taste of the hot dogs. Tater Tots are the best! Crispy and hot. Service is great, polite, professional, and friendly. Food came out quickly. Was just a great time and atmosphere. I suggest the Buckaroo Banzai for a refreshing drink with your favorite dog and tots. Orange soda and whiskey ? ?!“

“The place is small but great for watching sports. There are multiple tvs. Dart boards and a pool table. Friendly staff, but on busy nights there is a long wait for drinks. They do not serve food, but you can bring outside food in. There is a small patio in the rear. Parking in the front and rear of the building. Women's restroom has 2 stalls. Some days, they have a dj. I've been here before it was called Bradshaws. They have made some improvements since then. It's a comfortable place overall. I've been on weekends, weekends, afternoons, and evenings and never had an issue.Parking: Parking in front and rear of the building.“

“Interesting drive bar ... Was there around 1pm on a Thursday afternoon. Not many people there at this time. It was sort of like stepping back in time to the places my grandpa brought me to all the time when I was a kid... Brought back great memories! Patty behind the bar was VERY friendly! The roast beef sandwich was delicious. Will for sure stop back in when in the area.“

“Top notch dive bar in Columbus if not the best. -incredibly nice people that work here -best "bar" food I've ever eaten. Can't go wrong with fried pickles, wings, buffalo chicken sandwich, or any of their wraps. For the impression you have walking into the place the food knocks your boots off -incredibly affordable across the board. Whether it's a deal they're running or just the general local kind pricing of them they're always incredibly reasonable (especially when comparing to a ~$13 vodka soda at a Standard Hall type of place) -lastly a great atmosphere. Relatively lowkey people all around and great spot to go to for a prime time sports game“

“"Be Nice To Each Other" -Sheila Ann SteuberHometown atmosphere with down to earth people. Relaxing and entertaining, known to many as the local Cheers! Everyone knows your name and are happy to see you! My mother loved this place and its owner until the day she died. May the wind always be at your back, may the sun always shine down upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you off to see the stars.“

“Cave is one of the best clubs in town, I also like the fact how from time to time they provide free dance lesson and drink specials. I have met a lot of wonderful people who I became friends with at the club. The bartenders the bottle girls all the staff starting from the owner and his wife and some family members that work there also wonderful people and they greet you every single time I celebrate my birthday there last year and I will do it again this year they truly know how to run a business. Thank you for all your hard work.“

“This bar is a hidden gem! It's Small, intimate and very welcoming. The decor is trendy comfortable. We had a charcuterie board which was excellent and sampled some of their custom cocktails. The service was first class. They have a smaller wine by the glass selection but you can pick out a bottle from the attached wine shop and take it with you if you don't finish it. And the shop has a huge selection of wines that you don't usually find in stores. The attached wine shop is the largest boutique wine shop in the city! They change their menus every two months. What a great way to keep things fresh and interesting! We will return!“

“Excellent food, reasonable prices. The manager Zoe was our server, it was such a busy night so she was helping out. She made great suggestions, was warm and welcoming. The cocktails were tasty, and we each enjoyed a few tacos. Honestly, all of it was good! The restaurant was packed and a bit loud, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, I'd say look elsewhere. But, if you want a fun and night out, this is the place!“

“Disappointed that we had to sit at high top table...I have arthritis in my hip and it was tough getting up or down.Wife ordered steak and asparagus salad and Oreo pie and enjoyed it all.I ordered a mushroom burger and a house salad with Bleu cheese dressing and corned beef on it.I got the burger, which was okay. But my salad has no dressing and the corned beef looked more like bacon bits.I asked about my salad dressing and was told that it came on the side. I said there is no Bleu cheese dressing near the salad. So the staff went back, returned with 2 tablespoons of what tasted like an Italian dressing and said they told her they had mixed the dressing in with the corned beef.. I said there was no Bleu cheese with the corned beef, .. spread the bits and dressing on the salad and settled for what I didn't order.“

“This to me is an absolute hidden gem in plain sight. A 200 year old bar located in downtown Columbus with sandwiches and pizza. Pool table and darts with a great vibe. Lisa was an awesome bartender who delivered great times and service. It's laid back with great food. The pizza was perfect with a thin crust and spicy sauce. Next stop in downtown, don't miss this spot!“

“I stopped by Species X on a Tuesday evening after work, mostly due to the Google ratings but also intrigued by the concept/vibe. I ended up being the only one at the brewery which was a blessing in disguise as it allowed me to have about a 2 hour chat with the owner, Bo.I went from my typical skepticism of anything branded AI to fully convinced this was a unique, fun, and ultimately successful approach to brewing beer - not to mention its clear Bo has done his homework and then some.I ended up trying 6 beers and I would honestly say all of them were above average - standouts being the maple blueberry sour and Fluff001.Whether you live in Columbus or are just in time for a short while I'd highly recommend stopping by here to see what Bo and his team are doing as it's truly incredible. While the AI models are fascinating, the decor and vibe are on point, and the staff is very friendly (we covered everything from viral marketing to PC gaming), I firmly believe any brewery is only as good as its beer - and Species X has REALLY good beer!!“

“We had a nice time at Canabar last night. Our friends live in the neighborhood so we stopped in for a drink. The band was going strong and everyone had a good time. This is a neighborhood hangout but the bartender was friendly and invited us to come back.“

“I highly recommend Darshan to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. The combination of flavors, textures, and creativity in the dishes truly sets this restaurant apart. One of My favorite is chicken curry. A truly delightful culinary experience!“

“The most spectacular bar in the entire Pickerington area. This is so much chill that there is not much crowd and vibe is awesome.The bartender Mr. Brian is so much friendly and his customer service is top-notch. We played cornhole, pool, had a lot of drinks and just chilled.you selection of craft beers on the draft and also on the bottles and kings which is super awesome. The bar serves a whole lot of cocktail varieties and definitely a lot of wine as well. You can go wrong here if you want to drink beer wine or any kind of liquor or even some cocktail. If you live in the area this is a go to place. I live pretty far but this has been one of the best ones if I ever come around back in this area again.“

“leo’s has been my favorite bar since I began drinking. the bartenders are personable. the drinks are reasonably priced for what they offer, and the atmosphere is incomparable. i know all the bartenders by name - that should speak for itself!“

“I never believed it works this way,I was very doubtful about Bitcoin mining trading ,I decided to risk $500 with Mrs Kimberly Louis ways, after I saw testimonies of people on how good she is but I was Very skeptical but she prove me wrong with my first trade and I'm so happy today,so I'm recommending her to everyone of you to invest with her and testify like me. You can get in touch with her Contact now on“

“This is a nice quiet little place off the beaten path. The staff are always great and the atmosphere is always nice. The drink selection is good and I know they have food but I've never ordered any. It is definitely a nice place to just relax with friends or even by yourself.“

“The Oracle is one of my favorite bars in the city. I love the occult atmosphere, and when you walk in, it doesn't smell like booze, it smells like old books! I love that! During the warmer months I encourage you to visit the back yard there. The drinks are phenomenal, and I just cant say enough good things about this place.“

“this spot was amazing, my boyfriend and i were visiting from brooklyn and were told by the staff we picked a good spot to stop at for tacos. waitress was the sweetest to us and we chatted a bit about new york. the tacos were phenomenal, i had the lucy's fire and sweet heat. i feel awful though, the table next to us was two gross drunk men who kept harassing the poor waitress every time she came near them, it was so much i was ready to shout at them.“

“Had one of the best bar nights in a long time here at Mike's. Cheap beer, great friendly people, an even better bartender, and Twiggy! Just a great fun place where everyone interacts and just enjoys who and where they are in the moment. Look, it's not a trend rooftop bar, doesn't pretend to be either. It is what it is, a classic, friendly, and cleanish little dive bar. Enjoy!“

“This location used to be a favorite of mine but I haven't been in awhile. Overall had a good experience. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was great, the wings were nice & crispy, and I think this time I found a new favorite sauce combo of nukiller + Carolina gold (my always go-to is donkey+ garlic). If I'm ever in the area again I'll def come back to one of my favorite locations.“

“This place came highly recommended to us by people at both the Book Loft and the botanicals place. We got there and were a little bit nervous about the serve your own salsa and chip bar, since the pandemic I think everyone is a bit more nervous about these things, but we stopped worrying and enjoyed the salsa. It was delicious. We ordered the queso which was also great! Their mango mocktail was delicious, but just not enough drink for the price and I should have just ordered a coke. As a warning to others, their menu needs commas, so we thought certain menu items had these combo like for example if it said "Cilantro lime ranch" I'd assume it was one sauce, but it was actually 3 ingredients. My friend got tripped up ordering because of this so I figured I'd mention it. That was a made up example, I do not recall her actual order. She ended up getting a gigantic burrito. My other friend just beans and rice and said there amazing. I ordered the Asian style taco, it was good, but a bit too saucy for me, just overall a texture, messy thing for me, but flavors were amazing. Next time I come I'd like a bigger appetite to try more. This is a nice little place, dark and cozy, probably great for the college crowd due to their affordable prices. I think it hits it's mark!“

“Live near here for 21 years and was always wondering how it was. Finally decide to go in and we had a great time. Look what we missed over all those years. Everyone was very friendly. Angie the bartender was very nice and pricing was good also. We will be going back.“

“This was a great pub!We sat back, enjoyed several beers, enjoyed an appetizer and had fish and chips, which was spot on for a perfect brewpub experience.The lighting was nicely subdued, which was pleasant and not hard on the eyes.The service was prompt, pleasant and inviting.We enjoyed our experience so much we recommended it to everyone during the Arnold Sports Festival, since we were there for the event.Godspeed.“

“Been awhile since I had been in here, that Italian sub was as excellent as the reviews and of what the regulars said it was. Regulars said that I wasn't kidding about not being in there for awhile cause I asked the bartender to hit the buzzer for the restroom and they done away with it years ago along with the bowling machine.Played me some blues through touchstones and enjoyed meeting and conversatin with a Jenna. Good folks.“
