40 Best Cocktail Bars near Powell

“We loved it! Great food. Our service was amazing. Our waiter was Russell. He made sure we had a great experience.“

“We came to Huli Huli in Powell to celebrate my birthday, and it was everything I hoped for and more! The atmosphere is relaxed yet upscale, with a tropical-chic vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a quick island getaway. We didn’t even need main dishes—our appetizers and drinks stole the show. The Bang Bang Broccoli was crispy, spicy perfection, and the Tiki Fries were so flavorful we cleaned the plate. Every bite was bold, unique, and absolutely delicious. Our server Jacob made the experience even better. He was friendly, professional, and perfectly timed with everything. He made us feel welcome and celebrated from start to finish. Whether you’re stopping in for apps and cocktails or planning a full dinner, Huli Huli is a must. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea. Allison (sp??) was a wonderful server that was patient with all of us as this was our first time. Food was amazing. We will be returning again!“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“Oh how could I NOT recommend?! From creative, always changing cocktails and mocktails, I can choose to drink or stay sober EASILY. There are SO MANY fun events here. From painting, poetry, music, karaoke, trivia, ect. It is a bar that can be completely family friendly if you have children. It's like walking into a magical place where you are immediately accepted and loved.“

“Hosted a Birthday/Retirement Sing Along Karaoke Party for us. Yes it was all of the above, Nebbie and crew made it the most wonderful and memorable night. Everyone had a great time and all I had to do was show up 🥳 Great easy location for people to get to. Food was very good and served quickly, which was great for a large party. 🎉 I highly recommend as a great venue for fun events.“

“A great place to watch a game! The beer was cold, plenty of TVs and I enjoyed the crowd! We had the wings and they were delicious! The service was fast and efficient. The staff seemed super happy and it showed! We also found Renie’s to be very clean! This will be my new hangout for Sunday football! A hidden gem!“

“The ambiance of the pub is nice; things are kept clean and pleasant and the lighting is good. However, based on the name you may be under the impression that there is a DnD theme or a English / Irish / Scots influence. There is none. Rather, it's the most upscale you can get a hole in the wall bar to be before you'd end up scaring off the real down and out alcoholics and instead servicing yuppies who know to stop before a third shot. It's the nicest it can get before it transitions from dive to faux-dive.“

“This is an awesome neighborhood bar with really solid food options. It's mostly bar food but I would say elevated. They have wings and pizza but then lettuce wraps and power bowls. And the staff is incredible. Very friendly and attentive. Don't love that there are times they tie up a bunch of the seating with reserved tables that seem to always be empty, but for the most part we've always been able to find a seat. Great place.“

“My favorite restaurant of all time! Amazing ramen, great staff“

“soft serve margs and fresh chiccaronres with guac, two best things on the menu, and the staff is awesome 👌🏼“

“We love coming here! They have great food, great margaritas, and the staff is wonderful. The service is very quick, but doesn't sacrifice quality meals. Great place for a family dinner or happy hour with friends. They brough back the margarita flight so you don't have to choose just one flavor to try!“

“Great place to have a gathering. We rented the atrium and were very happy with the overall service, friendliness of the staff. Could not have been any better. The fireplace made it extra special. Thanks again! We will be back“

“🌹 Rosebuds in Delaware, Ohio – A Hidden Gem That Delighted Me Beyond My Wildest Dreams! 🌹 ⭐️ 9.2/10 If you’re looking for a dining experience that feels like a hug from your grandmother mixed with the elegance of European-style pacing and service, Rosebuds is your next stop. This charming little spot took me by surprise—from the nostalgia of vintage Pfaltzgraff dishes and familiar silverware patterns, to an eclectic menu full of global inspiration. Italian, Greek, American classics, Nashville hot chicken, fresh Maine-style lobster rolls, and a cheeseburger that could hold its own in any high-end bistro. Here’s what we tried: 🍽 Whipped Feta Dip – Creamy, dreamy , and so flavorful. We ran out of veggies before we ran out of dip, but the incredible staff noticed and brought more without us even asking. THAT is service. 🍽 Chicken Parmesan – Fresh pasta and a spicy vodka sauce that was plated beautifully with fresh basil you tear at the table (very European). A few bites of the chicken were tough and should have been trimmed, but overall the dish was still delicious. 🍽 Nashville Hot Chicken – Crispy, zingy, and on par with what you’d find in Tennessee. They even accommodated my cabbage allergy by putting the slaw on the side—love that flexibility! 🍽 Lobster Roll – Small, yes, but packed with flavor. I could have used a bit more butter and lemon, but it still brought me right back to a beach trip in Maine. 🍽 Lemon Pepper Steak – I was skeptical… now I’m a believer. Each bite had us literally oohing and aahing. So well done! 🍽 The Cheeseburger – Melted white cheese in all its ooey-gooey glory. A showstopper. Seriously, this might set a new bar for burgers. 💫 The cocktails? Expertly crafted. Whether you’re kicking off your evening or winding it down, the drink menu delivers. Most importantly—the pacing and service were flawless. It reminded me of dining in Europe, where you’re not rushed, your meal unfolds intentionally, and the experience matters just as much as the food. It’s something I’ve really missed in the local dining scene lately, and Rosebuds got it 100% right. 🚨 One heads up: the restaurant wasn’t open when I stopped by on a Thursday, so it’s best to check ahead. Also, while the food is divine, a couple of dishes felt slightly overpriced for their portion sizes—especially when listed as “big plates.” But that intimacy, that charm, and that level of service? It made it all worth it. We’ve now been three times—and I can honestly say this place is delightful and charming.“

“Wonderful experience and the food was delicious. Our waitress, McKenzie, was delightful and most helpful in giving us input on selection choices. We enjoyed the patio and our whole first experience here. Definitely will return.“

“Fantastic dishes. The quesadilla starter is phenomenal. The wild boar sloppy Joe and the octopus are really well prepared as well. Cannot go wrong!“

“Rita is the best! We had our wedding there last year and we highly recommend it for both large parties and just everyday happy hour and meals.“

“Always a lovely experience. This place provides a place for the community to gather and share their love of a variety of music. I usually go to their monthly hosting of the Central Ohio Hot Jazz Society's jam session where SwingColumbus teaches a dance lesson at the beginning and then the floor is open for dancing. It has been a staple for jazz lovers and certainly for our dance scene. We're hoping the next owners do the business justice. Maybe they can fix up the floor so it can be an even better dance space.“

“Garret was great! Recommend a Gran Classico and I loved it!“

“We had so much fun. It was my first time duck pin bowling. I would recommend for all ages.“

“I bought 5 kg of tortillas for an event last Sunday and everyone love them !!
the best tortillas we ever had!! the texture was perfect
recommended 100%!! we will definitely buy from there from now on! and the location is so easy to find ! GOOD LUCK TORTILLAS LA REYNA !!“

“Amazing fresh and spicy pizza, I had the chorizo pizza and my friend had the al Pastor both were very delicious but mine had some fresh jalapeño peppers that made an extraordinary experience for me. Not super spicy but it had a quick that I really enjoyed.“

“Hands down my family’s favorite place to eat when we go out. The crust and bread is to die for and the staff can’t be beat! Moe, Syd, Des, and G make you feel like family and the vibe is always on-point. The menu is smaller, but every single item is perfection and it’s clear they don’t half-ass anything 🤙🏼“

“I loved everything about this place, service was absolutely great! Food was so good everything was served so fresh! Drinks were amazing, restrooms were clean, the server was so helpful! I’ll definitely be going back, not too mention how affordable it was‼️🥰❤️“

“One pod the best restaurants around! The food and drinks are great and still really reasonably priced. The atmosphere in there is great and it’s so much bigger on the inside than on the outside. It’s decorated very well with lots of fun colors, patterns, and shapes and when you walk in you immediately know you’re somewhere special. The service has also been incredible every time I’ve been and the waitstaff is so attentive and kind. I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“Excellent from start to finish“

“Always an amazing experience at this location. Our server was especially helpful in offering menu options with dietary restrictions and attentive in going above and beyond. Other servers who remembered us came by to say hi as has been our experience in the past and always makes us feel welcome and comfortable. Overall, this is our main go to for all occasions when we are able to step away and get in.“

“Came here to Delaware for a chill night with some drinks, found a fun little dive bar! Close to a OWU so watch out for college kids on the weekends, but still not a bad vibe at all.

CHEAP and Yummy drinks! (They pour decent here!) Not too much to do unless they are hosting an event like karaoke. Really just a good spot to chat and drink! They do have a touch-tunes! (Everyone can pay to queue up music!)

Bringing my friend here for her 21st ;)“

“The food is delicious and the customer service is probably one of the best I’ve experienced.“

“A great place to hangout alone or with a date. The ambience is so nice. You will be relaxed, warm, and cozy. Free 🅿️“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Came here once for a party and didn’t realize how close it was to home! I like to go out alone here and there and the environment at Yellow Springs never fails to make me feel safe. Arthur and Sam are great and always seem make sure to check in on me whenever they’re on shift as I’m a woman sitting alone most nights I’m there, and Carly is incredibly friendly and helpful as well :) It always looks like the crew is having a good time with each other and with the customers, even on nights a rowdy group comes in. Very glad for this neighborhood spot and will continue to come in as long as it’s here!!“

“Absolutely Amazing! Everything we tried was presented so nice!! Loaded with flavor & fresh ingredients !!! Would definitely recommend!!! Total 10!!!❤️“

“Best food and service! So glad they are back.“

“First time my wife and have been able to eat here due to road closures. I will have to say that the experience was amazing. The food was top notch. We walked in and was seated immediately our waitress was busy so it took a few minutes to order drinks and appetizer however that was the only wait there was. Our appetizer came out before we realized it and was delicious. When our food arrived it looked amazing and was piping hot. The waitress was on point the entire time. Will definitely be back to eat again!!!“

“Food was the bomb.com
Queso was on point, salsa was fresh.
The birria tacos were no joke. Coming from Texas my expectations for Mexican food are pretty low but this place blew me away. Service was excellent. This is my new go to spot“

“We had a fun time at VASO. The food was different and creative (in a good way) and reasonably priced for the amount you got. Everything had plenty to share - it was a bit much for 2 but would have been perfect for 3 or 4. A great place for a fancier night out!“

“Great food, great service, and great prices, I’ll be back again!!“

“great food, drinks and love the music“

“Great dinner tonight. Food was very good and our wait staff was friendly and engaging.“
