33 Best Wine Bars near Upper Arlington

“Service - excellent Wine - Black Stallion Chardonnay- good value 9 oz pour. Appetizer - Humus - excellent Salad - Chop Chop - almost devoid of flavor. Would have benefited from a pepper grinder and dressing (parmesan ranch) was very bland. Entree - Chicken Saltimbocca - excellent. Patio seating - cool breezy evening - nice date night.“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“I took my 22-year-old son to the meadery for his birthday. Not only did we get special tastings we got the history and knowledge of how this small business came to be. Our bartender was incredibly knowledgeable, had a very inviting personality and to top it all off he makes amazing mead!!! Be careful everyone it's got more alcohol content than I'm used to and it's crap up on me pretty quick LOL!!!!“

“Wednesday wine tasting - nice!“

“Great wine shop! Patio for warmer weather and free parking!! Wine tastings on Thursday’s. Nice and friendly staff. Super knowledgeable.“

“Posted up at Parable Coffee to work on some personal projects on a Saturday for a few hours. First got a loose leaf black tea, and then later a sour beer they had on draft. Both were competitively priced. Loved the staff, and the ambiance is everything! Giving off the big city vibes I've been missing from my last city. I will say it was a surprise they had automatic gratuity, and it was a bit loud because it was busy. I just threw in airpods, and all was well. Next time I'll try a bite to eat. Would recommend simply to check out the interior design and music selection.“

“Chicken and Waffles were delicious!“

“We would like to thank the restaurant for giving us happy memories during our short trip to Ohio with top-notch taste and service. I think the steaks here are really good, especially the filet mignon and Seared Tenderloin. For appetizers, I had Pan-fried Calamari and Tuna Tartare, which were also very satisfying. Although the service is slow when there are a lot of people, they are very friendly, and everything including table spacing, interior design, and lighting was comfortable. Although the prices are not very friendly, this is a steakhouse I would definitely come back to when I visit Ohio.“

“Very chill lucky place which was exactly what we were looking for to start our evening out even though they don't technically sell flights of bourbon they accompated our desire to taste many different ones and the pricing was fantastic“

“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.“

“🌿 Hillgarten Brewery – Hilliard’s Hidden Gem 🌿7.6 out of 10! What a beautiful surprise tucked away in Hilliard! Hillgarten’s expansive outdoor space was hands down the highlight of the night. With wide-open seating, tree-covered areas, and cozy hanging lights, the vibe was equal parts romantic and relaxed. 💫 The beer selection? Exactly what you want in a neighborhood brewery—a perfect variety of drinkable, staple brews that suit all tastes. On a hot summer evening though, I would’ve loved to see a frosted glass option—the beer warmed up a little too fast for my liking. We ordered the giant pretzel, which definitely delivered on size! The beer cheese was decent, but we were hoping for a bit more creativity or a “mystery dip” option to spice it up. Also… just give us one good cup of cheese with it instead of making everyone upgrade for a second portion. Small thing, but it stood out. As the sun set, the whole place started to feel like something out of a movie. Couples celebrating engagements, friends laughing over cornhole in the corner, and a casual, easy energy. The only thing missing? Some live music, especially for a Saturday night. 🎶 We found ourselves lost in conversation… time honestly stood still. It felt both lively and private, which is a rare combo these days. If I had one other piece of feedback, it’d be for a slightly bigger food menu and maybe a kiddo cut-off time around 7 PM, just so the evening crowd can fully settle into adult mode. All in all… a gem of a night we won’t forget anytime soon. ❤️🍻 #HillgartenHilliard #OhioBreweries #HilliardOhio #CraftBeerLovers #LocalBreweryVibes #SupportLocal #BreweryLife #RomanticNights #OutdoorBeerGarden #ColumbusEats #614Foodies #HiddenGem #BeerAndPretzels #SaturdayNightVibes #CraftBeerScene #HilliardEats #DrinkLocal #OhioBeerTrail #WeekendWanderings“

“I ordered a gift card as a birthday present and there was a mix up (my end) in which they went over and above to correct for me. We don't live in Columbus but I can certainly see why my kids LOVE LawBird and their staff. We'll certainly make it a point to stop in on our next visit down.“

“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.“

“Fine Italian dining, with an excellent, reasonably priced menu and gracious owners, Rick and Jackie. They have been a consistently high quality venue in Grandview Heights for 22 years!“

“Wow - what a wonderful dining experience. It has been hard to find high quality Indian cuisine on the east side of Columbus, until now. Food was spectacular, cocktails were exquisite, and service was attentive and super friendly. We had vegetable and chicken pakora with tasty, fresh assortment of chutneys to start. Enjoyed Khaab's generous Special platter and the Lamb and Shrimp Curry specials as our entrees over a bottle of nice Pinot Noir. Cocktails included a smoked old fashioned and the Patiala Smash - a divine blackberry libation. Would recommend them all. Book a dinner reservation- you won't be disappointed.“

“Moved here over 5 years ago from DC (a foodie city) and in that time I’ve had a hand full of meals that I would consider truly great. This would be one of them! Service matched the food in a cozy atmosphere. Even the home made soda was awesome. Hands down the best food, service and experience I’ve had in the years I’ve lived in CBUS. Do yourself a favor, try it.“

“Love the bloody Mary’s with bacon“

“Our service was stellar. We were informed of the specials and given ample time to decide between courses. Evan stopped by our table with a warm greeting and ensured everything was to our liking. Stacey suggested 2 phenomenal wines that complimented our meals perfectly. We love the patio seating was superb!“

“Wine on High was the perfect spot for our company ladies night. Leading up to the event, Tina made the process seamless & easy. Her communication was great. The evening of our event, Eric took the best care of us. We did a wine tasting before dinner & he was so knowledgeable about the wines he was serving us. Dinner & drinks were loved by all. They even personalized the menus with our company logo which I thought was a sweet touch.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“Love this place. What a hidden gem. Tracked in down on a recommendation from a friend, and glad I did. Bohemian with a hip, homey vibe. If I lived in Columbus, this would be my hangout.“

“Rossi Kitchen is a great place to dine on the Short North. Our party of three sat at a high-top and received excellent service. We shared calamari with an excellent pesto aioli. Caesar salads were crispy and briny. Our entrees included the ragu, lamb lollipops and salmon over a mixed green salad. All were nicely prepared and tasty. A good time was had by all.“

“While shooting a segment for the show Out n About Columbus, the owner Colin and the chef Marja took us through a gastronomic journey that left every one of the crew dumbstruck from the flavor and creativity in the dishes that were offered to us today! If you have the opportunity to dine at this incredible establishment, don't walk... RUN in the door! Don't ask for a menu! Let the staff take you on a culinary adventure! You definitely will not regret the decision, not one bit!“

“Love Grain + Grape! Great local shop with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of craft beers and wine. My favorite place to pick up a bottle or two for the weekend.“

“Excelente servicio ♥️me gusta el ambiente y la comida le doy un 10!“

“Eight of us went there for lunch and ordered just about the whole lunch menu to create a tasting menu that we could all share. None of us had been to Speck before and we all loved the food, service, and space and all want to go back with our significant others for dinner. We came in from the outskirts of town and was concerned about finding parking but street parking near the restaurant was actually relatively easy. Highly recommend Speck.“

“My husband & I had the privilege of dining at Z Cucina in Dublin on Valentine’s Day. The concierge’s at the front were wonderful, and our most pleasant experience was not only they food, but our wonderful waiter, Benjamin. He is such a great host at one’s table, but has an expert knowledge of the menu. I will request him again!“

“This place makes the gold standard best crabcake away from a coast. If it was ONLY crabcake, I would give it five stars. My dining companions have also enjoyed their meals. The cheesecake or key lime pie is a perfect little treat to share at the end of the meal. What else can I say? I haven't ordered anything but crabcakes since my long search for perfection has finally come true. Take a person who loves seafood. From fried sandwiches to fancy steaks, I've heard this place serves other stuff besides crabcakes, too.“

“05/24/2025 - First time visiting this Habaneros Fresh Mexican Grill in Hilliard with family and friends. This is the 3rd Habaneros I have visited. The set up is placing your order at a register and then it is brought to your table. They have dining with regular seating tables and partial booths seating. The high top chairs are at the bar. I ordered their house Jumbo Margarita on the rocks with salt; always on point. I ordered the Trio Dip for an appetizer for my party to share, and a Chicken Bowl. For my dessert, I ordered their Choco Flan which was tasty. Our server Corbin was professionally friendly and prompt! Parking out front. Decent prices.“

“Our waitress Kendra was amazing! The food and drinks were fabulous! Our extremely picky child said they have the best pizza she’s ever had. We had to order an entire pizza to go! Thanks for a great time! We will absolutely be back!“

“My husband and I recently visited Dos Hermanos (in Easton) for our weekly date night, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long, long time. After living in Columbus for over 3 years (and searching high & low), I had come to the sad conclusion that there were no good authentic Mexican restaurants in thus city — that was, until I stepped foot into Dos Hermanos. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with hot chips and fresh, flavorful salsa that set the tone for the rest of our meal. The menu features a wide range of authentic Mexican dishes at reasonable prices. My husband and I tried the queso blanco, street tacos, Birria tacos, and churros. Each dish was flavourful, hot, and super fresh. My personal favorite were the Birria tacos — every bite was packed with the right balance of spices and tenderness. I am very picky when it comes to restaurants, especially Mexican, and let me tell you; if you like flavor (not just salt…), this is the place for you! The food wasn’t all that impressed us — the wait staff was equally fantastic. Our waitress, Megan, was an absolute superstar. She was attentive, friendly, and made our experience very enjoyable. The restaurant was clean, and well staffed— a true hidden gem. After our first visit, we couldn’t resist going back again (only 2 weeks later), and I’m happy to report that the experience was just as perfect as before. No doubt about it, Dos Hermanos deserves a solid 5 out of 5 stars. My search for a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Columbus is officially over! If you also have been tirelessly searching for a truly good Mexican restaurant, this is the place!“

“Celebrated 20 days before my son and future daughter in law take the plunge everything was fantastic !“

“Wait staff was very attentive and eager to please. The food was very good. Especially enjoyed the Cremini Mushrooms with my Ribeye. Both mine and my wife's steak were cooked to perfection. The sides of Augratin Potatoes and Brussels sprouts were delicious.“
