48 Best Bar & Grill near Upper Arlington

“Food is quite limited, if you’re going, you’re going for the drinks.
I have no idea what it’s like between Thurs-Saturday; however, most of the week it’s pretty slow paced, but they do have the option to play the jukebox through your phone.
Bartenders are great, people are great, atmosphere is chill.“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. The staff is incredible, the prices are great, and the food never disappoints. My friend group frequents the Filler often and even make a point to go there after our holiday parties and other special events. Laura and the rest of the staff are always wonderful and accommodating when we have a large group of people coming in. So lucky to have this place in our community!“

“Someone told me this place had the best Italian Sub in Columbus, and they weren't kidding – I tried it, and I'm officially hooked! Seriously, if you're in the neighborhood, this needs to be your go-to spot for an amazing sub. If you're on the other side of town, it's worth the journey at least once a month. Don't miss out! What really sealed the deal was the incredible atmosphere: the employees were genuinely nice and clearly passionate about their work. Even a couple of regulars were out in the 90-degree heat, cheerfully welcoming me in, mirroring the staff's enthusiasm. This might be a 'hole-in-the-wall,' but it's the kind of hidden gem Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives should feature this place.“

“Great atmosphere with local Ohioans, doing Ohio stuff: Gathering, eating great Ohio pub-style pizza, and communing at a dive bar. We strongly recommend this spot for great pizza and wings. Being in Central Ohio, we're always up for some great pizza, and this place delivers! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

Domestic and craft beers and a decent selection of spirits (with lighter snack options, like chips). There was a party going on when we arrived, so it's at least somewhat child friendly.“

“Cheeseburger and Fries was so amazing! ❤️ Would like to be back again sometimes!“

“Excellent Food, Top Notch Staff... Wonderful place for our Holiday Party... THANK YOU!! 🎄🖖🏻❤️🤍💙☃️❄️🌎🇺🇲“

“Cheeseburger and Fries was so amazing! ❤️ Would like to be back again sometimes!“

“Love this place, but really? Kitchen closes at 9pm during Ohio State and Notre Dame Championship game that started at 730. It’s 9pm, the house is packed, not an empty seat, not even halftime and the kitchen is closed. And they call themselves the number one place to watch the Buckeyes…kitchen would be opened if I ran this place.“

“Food and atmosphere is great! There was one frustrating moment. Don’t waste your money on the juke box as they’ll turn it off if they don’t like the music with no warning, explanation, or any attempts to make it right after informing them that I spent $10 on it. 🤷‍♂️“

“great atmosphere and entertainment good food drink prices are reasonable and new owners our good people“

“Our lunch at Calero's was great! The vegetarian pupusa just slapped, my husband got breakfast and loved it. Don't miss the black beans with crema, and cabbage relish. Papas were fresh and hot. You will not be disappointed.“

“I’ve never had a bad time at Eight and Sand. The food is beyond impressive and it is reasonably priced. You will not catch me missing the $1 wings every Tuesday and the veggie wrap is incredible. Don’t sleep on the weekly food specials they are always a tasty little surprise! Friendly outgoing staff all around, an awesome patio, and a chill vibe inside. It’s my very favorite bar, there isn’t another like it!“

“Good vibes and delicious food tabby will get chu together 💯💯💯not bad for my first time I had been wantin to check it out“

“Food isn’t always consistent, we live close and stop by often. Yesterday bartender seemed new and talked a lot while trying to make an order but usually good consistent service. But the food was GREAT last night better than normally, ordered a steak it was made medium rare perfectly usually they just make it well done no matter what. Great cook also D is a great bartender“

“Nice place with tv's everywhere! I would imagine they could have all the games on... haven't been there during football season so I can't guarantee that. Had the house cheeseburger and it was great! Clearly was a handmade patty. Good selection of beers.“

“Euchre one Monday nights is amazing the people that run it Aaron and Loretta 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet.“

“Recently visited this establishment for a small MGK pop up concert. The venue provided us with ice cold water bottles and water jugs that had cold water in it. they were some of the sweetest and most kind people I've came across. 10/10 will have to come back and try their food!“

“First time coming to this 2 in 1 place also Black Owned Ridiculous Eatz. Excellent service. Our waitress was Melissa G. She was very nice and pleasant. The wings was Excellent. We had Buffalo, BBQ, and Hot Garlic (that wasn’t mentioned on the menu, but our waitress told us about it ). Also had the cabbage and collard greens blend. Very good. Had some Cajun fries. They were delicious. Food came out hot. Will definitely be returning.“

“the food was amazing I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. my server was awsome“

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

“Randy was our bartender yesterday for dsy drinking. Had a great time!!!“

“We went through the drink menu and you should too🥳“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“I had good experience at Hydeout and the food is amazing. The staff was nice and friendly and very useful and it’s one bartender that was on point I believe her name was JB she did a good job keeping us company and making sure we enjoy are stay thank u very much😊“

“Went to the Sunday Brunch and it was awesome. Rene the Bartender was very nice and efficient. The manger checked on us twice. Had the Coldest beer in town after. I recommend it.“

“A friend and I stopped here for dinner before Impact Wrestling's TV tapings. They were able to find us a seat despite a festival of some kind going on, our food was ready very quickly, and it was both delicious and fairly priced!“

“Great place to see a live band up close, the bar staff is awesome“

“Had such a fun time with the hubby here! Fun atmosphere, the girls were so pretty and had some amazing tricks! I loved Lexi, she was sooo gorgeous & nice! I loved the dancer who asked if it was okay to touch my hubby, even tho of course I didn't care. It was very considerate! Hubby paid 10 for his entry fee but mine was free so that was a nice surprise. Would give a 5 star if they had some more drink selections! For our first all nude experience I was Definitely nervous but it was a great time ?“

“The grill portion is closed currently due to COVID-19. Bartender was about one of the best I’ve seen. Very friendly and upbeat, asked my name when I sat down then called me by name the rest of my time there. Did not get to try the food, maybe on a future visit, if I’m in town I will definitely stay at this hotel and visit this bar.“

“Love the staff and how friendly they are“

“Laid back atmosphere. Enclosed, ‘outdoor’ seating (smoking). Lot’s of room.“

“The food & drinks are always great. Crack Wings & Sparkles signature drink (something about Rain... i forgot the name but it's great 😂)👌🏽.... 10 out of 10, would recommend.“

“First, the service is awesome. The food is pretty cheap but surprisingly it is not frozen crap, or it doesn't taste like it anyway. It's basically normal bar food and the menu was pretty small but everything we had was good, for what it was and what you would expect at a bar. The atmosphere was laid back and friendly. We were there for karaoke night and everybody had a blast. The food did take a little bit of time but we had 14 people and a bunch of appetizers and there was a full bar with one bartender and one guy I think who was the cook and helping serve at the bar. All of the patrons inside were friendly and chill, no trouble makers, no belligerent drunks. Most sang or watched the game on one of their many TVs. There is a pool table also, but just one.

Overall it is a really nice little place with a corner bar kind of feel to it. They have things to do like trivia on Mondays and karaoke on saturday. The food is not Gourmet but it's good for a bar and the price is good. And it's the best service I've had anywhere in a long time, with a staff who seem like genuinely nice people, not just getting paid to be polite“

“The server we had was incredible. His name was Jason and he made our experience at the restaurant/bar very enjoyable. The place was pretty busy and he was only server behind bar as well as waiting tables and running food to customers. He was so pleasant and genuine and didn't appear to be frazzled or stressed at all about being pulled in many different directions.
The food was also very good. The burgers to salads and dessert were excellent.

I also spoke with a supervisor on the phone by the name of Megan who was lovely.
It is refreshing to encounter people who are so kind actually care.
Highly recommend.“

“Had a great dinner before the Penguins and Blue Jacket game. The staff all hustled and the food was good, but when we got back to our hotel after the game we realized we left our toddlers blanket. Donovan stayed an extra 20 minutes after closing to wait for us!!! Seriously thank you so much!! Top notch service!!“

“Huge Patio Private Event Rooms“

“Overall good experience here some little hang-ups but maybe because they were busy that day.... I will try to come back and see if I can give another star or not.... I do understand they have lots of awesome jazz players in the evening trying to come back for that...“

“Review is not a recommendation-just our experience. Waiter was friendly. Food was decent but not hot. We were there for Sunday brunch-not many customers so not sure why our food wasn’t hot. Our main concern was the cleanliness. The pictures on the wall had a lot of dirt and food splatters that seem to have been there a while. Perhaps a monthly deep clean would help. (Floor and tables were clean) It wasn’t the experience I read about on their website though.“

“Very nice place!!! the staff are great and very attentive. Ms. Mary fixes up some great tacos. The band Fya&Sol are so good, they are professional. The place, staff, bands, DJ'S and people are all welcoming. A nice good place to hang out.“

“i really want to visit one day because of the disappearance of brian shaffer i'm hooked. place center of great theories and mysteries.... the question that does not want to remain silent: where is brian shaffer? anyway, it seems like a good place to have fun. hugs from Brazil :)“

“Staff is kind (above&beyond), food tastes great, and a place where you can have a birthday section or just a drink at the bar to watch the game. If you get a section, you can order bottles & food from the menu. My cons would be: Regular drinks will have to be ordered at the bar. Clearing drinks or food in our section wasn't available. I didn't mind clearing, but there wasn't a place to take our plates. There's a trash can by the exit for cups. If you do plan to get a section, make sure to have enough room for your party comfortably. If you dont have enough seating, there may be open seating at the bar for your overflow guest. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would go again.“

“Wow - I’m here for a conference and found PJ’s. Awesome sandwiches - first night had the bread roll with buffalo chicken fries mozzarella sticks and queso - couldn’t only eat half - this night - gyro meat and fixns in a wrap - don’t pass this place up“

“Rehab Tavern in Columbus is just an awesome spot to kick back and have a good time. The vibe hits right as soon as you walk in – it’s cozy, chill, and has this cool mix of old-school charm with a modern feel. The staff is super friendly, too; they make you feel right at home and are always happy to help with drink recommendations or just chat for a bit.

Speaking of drinks, they’ve got a fantastic selection! From craft beers to unique cocktails, there’s something for everyone, and the bartenders seriously know their stuff. Plus, the live music nights are a blast. They bring in some great local talent, and it really adds a fun, energetic feel to the place.

Overall, Rehab Tavern is just a great, laid-back spot to hang with friends or meet new people. It’s the kind of bar that makes you want to come back, whether you're from around here or just in town for a visit. If you're looking for a place with good drinks, good vibes, and a friendly crowd, this is it!“

“Place was clean and good decor. Two pool tables. Had the J*** Cuban. Enjoyed the sandwich but could taste grease in fries. No Keno but they are in the process of obtaining the rights. A person doesn't live on alcohol alone. Friendly bartender and attentive to the point i had to say "I'm good". Lol. Keep in mind this was a Monday evening. Wasn't very busy.“

“We threw a surprise party for 2 of our favorite people at Oties, in their Event Room. It was absolutely AMAZING! The room was so lovey and the food was great and came out quickly from the kitchen. We had such a wonderful time and the staff was very nice and helpful. Truly a great experience! We still have friends talking about what a wonderful time it was.“

“I stopped in brothers after a baseball game and had an absolutely amazing time. Tyler made it special by giving my friends and I 110% service. he made our get together with friends feel like the celebration of the century. I will definitely be back with all my friends to see him.“
