“If you are looking for a fancy place with a big menu full or fine dining foods and pinkies-out cocktails, this is not it.If you are looking for a corner bar where everyone knows each other by name, plays pool and darts together, shares pizza, and does shots until closing time, Twins is definitely worth checking out.“

“There’s a reason the Press Grill has been around forever - good, reasonably priced food on a menu that has barely changed in decades. That’s a good thing - the sandwiches, Mac and cheese, cottage fries, etc. need no improvement. There are daily specials if you’re looking for something different, but most regulars have their thing. Accessibility is an issue at this original location - it’s an old building, so the door is narrow and the tables close together and all high top except a single low top in the back. The Grandview location is easier for large groups or those with mobility challenges, but if those are not barriers for you, you can’t go wrong with the original.“

“Cute place staff was nice. I wasn’t impressed with their signature sandwich, the HURON ST. MELT. We are not local so the group gave the common viewpoint that the food was “okay”. Fair pricing and the live entertainment was good.“

“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.“

“My husband and I really enjoy eating at rusty bucket! Food was great.. Customer service was amazing! We've been definitely go back and recommend. Thanks“

“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.“

“Walking around the convention center area on a Wednesday 9:30pm (no NHL game night) and, while a couple of places already had chairs piled up on tables, the Char Bar bar area was packed and high energy. I had in mind the place caught up on fire, thus the name, but it actually had a drunk driver just crashing into the bar and damaging everything. Now became a story to tell (nobody hurt) and a picturesque place in town.“

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

“Saturday nights can be busy, week nights are less crowded. Great drinks, bartenders do a great job of getting to everyone during busy times, and talking with the folks and making you feel at home during slower times. No frills bar, pool tables, darts, keno, pop a shot, golf game, large bar area, tables. Dj some nights, sports tvs. Good place to watch sports or meet friends.“

“relaxing,pool table is nice, cool customers“

“Just had one of the best bacon cheeseburgers in my life at The Point on Main!!! Fantastic!! Fresh Cut fries were a bonus!!“

Parking: We went about 9:30 and found parking with no problem

Kid-friendliness: We took my 2-year-old granddaughter and she has fun

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair access to get to the door“

“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!“

“Best food around. Everything is amazing ❣️“

“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.“

“Huge Patio Private Event Rooms“

“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!“

“I was visiting town alone and wanted a place to hang out and maybe meet some nice people. Local Bar was it! The bartender, Taylor, was amazing and made me feel like a friend within no time. The other patrons were a good time as well. This place was one of the more enjoyable bars I've been to in a long time. Taylor made a great drink - the "Taylor's Special" - that was perfect! I loved it!“
