During our visit, we encountered an issue with the bartender regarding ID verification. My friend presented a digital copy of her driver’s license, as she was awaiting the physical card after renewing online. The bartender refused to accept this form of ID, which is understandable given that Ohio law requires alcohol retailers to verify age using acceptable forms of identification, such as a driver’s license, Ohio ID card, U.S. passport, or military ID. 

When I presented my government-issued ID, the bartender scrutinized it for an extended period and ultimately expressed discomfort in accepting it. This interaction felt unnecessarily prolonged and gave the impression of discriminatory behavior.

While I understand the importance of adhering to legal ID verification procedures, the manner in which the situation was handled left much to be desired. I hope the management addresses these concerns to ensure a more welcoming environment for all patrons.

Racist white male bartender. He was extremely rude rude to my friends who have valid IDs with pictures. I would avoid this place at all cost in future and encourage others to avoid.

Non-stop country music in an "Irish" joint ain't cutting it. Pataskala or not.
