“We arrived without a reservation about half an hour before the kitchen closed. The staff were wonderful, especially Sophia, who was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient. We placed several orders at different times, and she continued to take great care of us even after the kitchen had closed. A special thank-you to Sophia for her patience and kindness!“

Everything was great, the atmosphere, the food quality, pricing, and the speed of service. Our waitress was Tony, and he was very kind and attentive. His Grateful Dead shirt and his cool mustache made my night“

“Stopped in after volleyball at Backyard. I asked if I could get the Reds game on one of the TVs and the bartender, Colton said yes. Some regulars were watching the soccer matches but we found a tv that worked for everyone. I noticed the $4 draft Monday special and asked Colton who confirmed that included Bodhi. I ordered a Bodhi and Colton changed out the keg and let me know that the closer, Ian was coming in soon. Ian came in with a great attitude and kept a welcoming atmosphere in the bar. 5 out of 5 stars. Will be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Just had their newest addition to the high quality menu. The generous portion could easily be a shareable for two or a great lunch tomorrow. Extremely tasty with the right balance of crumbles and b’fflo sauce. Great w/seasoned fries or house chips. Make sure to have a pint of the Kroenburg 1664 pints to wash it down. Oh and BTW, it’s a great deal. Won’t disappoint your palllet or your wallet! Enjoy.“

“Great place for a drink. Very reasonable prices! The bathrooms are downstairs, and not overly clean, but I didn't mind. The bar tender was really nice and attentive. We packed it in because other places were closed, but it was a great time.“

“Basic Mitch for the win! amazing food, and amazing bourbon selection!!“

“We are from out of town and needed to feed 16 people after our original plan fell through. I called and spoke to Jeremy and he was quick to accommodate. I have to say the service was impeccable and so was the food. Every one of our orders was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server ( I’m sorry i don’t remember her name, but I’m sure she knows who we are talking about) was amazing and professional and never missed a beat! I would highly recommend this establishment !! Thank you all so much ❤️“

“Ordered from the W. 3rd location lastnight. The food was great!! Fast delivery, food was hot on arrival and the price was good as well!! Definitely recommend!“

“upstairs is great for a private party. My son was playing guitar and keyboard. Great staff, very cool interior decor and great place all round.“

“They revamped and opened back up with a good menu and great food! great atmosphere, good people and service. New games and activities, arcade. I had a cheeseburger and fries, it was very good and worth every penny. definitely stop by for a drink or delicious food, friendly folks etc. It's becoming a favorite spot for us and a lot of work went into the kitchen and upgrades etc so dont be afraid to stop in. I dont work there, not family etc just leaving an honest review on the owner, the employees, food and atmosphere. 10 outta 10!“

“This week, we came in as a party of seven, and Faith took great care of us. The service was extremely fast, especially considering the size of our group.
I had the Turkey Club, while someone else had the Cuatro Tacos, another had a hamburger with onion rings, and the rest of the group enjoyed the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinners.
Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. All of our meals were great, and everyone left happy. Great food and great service—what more could you ask for!“

“Eldorado's is one of the best local bars in Northside-Morse road Columbus Ohio.
2 great pool tables and a dart board. The 2 working bartenders are attentive to not only drinks but they're kitchen as well.
It maybe the best bar on Morse road, I've never had a bad time from the Karaoke trivia nights with DJ Timmah!
I recommend checking the place out, not a bad stop on any night.“

“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.“

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

“Johnnie’s Glenn Avenue Grill stands as a true classic among Columbus dive bars, blending small-town charm with a sense of history. Its walls are packed with oddball memorabilia, dusty old bottles, and bowls of free snacks that give the space a cozy, familiar feel. With its no-frills atmosphere and undeniable character, this Grandview spot is a rare find worth seeking out.“

“relaxing,pool table is nice, cool customers“

“Barbie was amazing!! Definitely coming back!!!“

“This is my go to grocery store as they have many plant based specialty foods in addition to normal stuff. Prices for the specialty items can be a touch high, but the "normal" grocery items are reasonably priced. Plus you can get a discount with your Amazon Prime membership. There are also some good vegan options at the cafe to eat in store or take out, like their pizza with tempeh bacon.“
