39 Best Cocktail Bars near Westerville

“Such a unique and comforting atmosphere with utterly delicious food!!!“

“My husband and I stopped in on our way through Columbus Ohio, and we were thoroughly impressed with our meals! The food was delicious!! They had an atmosphere much like Condado tacos, but the bar was set much higher with Local Cantina- when comparing the two, the tacos were so much more unique and definitely more flavorful, the dips blew competitors out of the water, and the atmosphere was so much more authentic and unique! We loved our experience and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend.“

“We went with friends On 3/29/25 to the Polaris location. First time visiting and it was slammed. Luckily we made reservations ahead of time. All I can tell you is the place is amazing in every way. The food was great and affordable. The service was 5-star. We will return! 👍❤️“

“Dueling Axes made for an awesome double date night! It was our first time throwing axes and knives but John gave us a great intro and coached us girls through it! He was hilarious and so approachable, willing to give more tips when I was struggling miserably LOL. We loved the variety of games, including a cornhole-style scoring game (1st to 21 or 51). The bar is very nice, and they serve an excellent peach mint mule- great work, Dan. We will definitely be going back!“

“A local pub with the same owners for over 30 years. Very friendly and easy to make friends. They are known for their subs. Also, has local bands and other events throughout the week. Great place to watch OSU football. If you have never been there, you are missing out on one of the best local bars in Columbus

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat level entrance. I have seen many wheelchair persons support this pub.“

“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.“

“I only have Wednesdays off and I like coming here because Bahar always takes care of me. She hasn’t worked here long but always gives me great service with a fun smile and I have been in the industry for 15 years. It’s nice to feel like dive Bartener cares and keeps her space organized.“

“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.“

“This is a safe friendly bar. Clean, beautiful atmosphere. Restrooms are very clean. The food is amazing. We got chicken tenders, loaded potatoe skins and pizza. Everything was delicious, reasonable prices. The bartender Jamie was friendly and her drinks were made perfect. The cook tonight Wednesday night did an amazing job with our food.
This is a great bar to come and relax and have drinks and very good food.“

“Such an interesting concept and even more thoughtfully executed. It really is a unique little bar that is built around a fun atmosphere for guests. The staff is also extremely nice and knowledgeable. I got an alcoholic slushies and got to sit next to a porthole I'm not sure many people get to say that's something they've experienced in their life so on experience alone 5/5 and once you add in that the drink I had was also immaculate I wish I could rate them higher ☺️“

“My go-to for decompressing after a hard day at work, they have a wide variety of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic cocktails that tadre great and all the staff are very tolerant and understanding of all walks of life, making it a very inclusive space to be in“

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

“I live in the Dayton area. I made it a point to find Marlow’s when I was in Columbus last week for work. I first learned about it on Facebook. It did not disappoint. It was amazing! It was the best cheesesteak I have had outside of Philadelphia. I will make the drive for future cheese steaks.“

“Late:post:taco Tuesday 🤪😝 If you’re looking for a great dining experience, Agave & Rye Taco restaurant is the place to go. I had the pleasure of trying their peach and fruit passion margaritas, the Alderman taco, and the Grilled Crispy Chicken Burrito. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! Agave & Rye If you are trying to big your back this summer,🗣️do not come to this place❗️your back will get 3x times bigger as you are sitting at the table!😂 In the words of Madea: I was tore the hell up from the floor up. #solodate #goodvibes The LA.

“My friends and I came here for my birthday for brunch and it was nothing but a positive experience. I am new to the area so I am still trying to find where to go for good food and drinks. Our server David was very good and always made sure we were happy. I will be returning-- thank you for an awesome birthday brunch! :)“

“My wife and I very much enjoyed her birthday dinner here, and our server even gave her chocolate cake on the house! We usually eat at more casual restaurants but this place was a good balance of feeling a little more upscale, but not overly so. We split the twin filets with a Caesar Salad and a side of macaroni and cheese, and everything was very tasty. I have a tree nut allergy and felt very comfortable eating here.“

“if you like authentic, fresh Mexican food, you have to run to this place. We are originally from California, and we have struggled finding a great Mexican restaurant in Ohio and we finally found it in Fiesta Del Rio. Not only great food and probably the best Margaritas I've had anywhere. The wait staff is wonderful, especially Rafael who always makes great recommendations from the menu. Try the fajitas, you will not be disappointed!“

“Amazing service and staff. Love the setting.“

“my name is Tony Bussa and I thought the atmosphere was amazing. staff extremely help full. the food was more than good it was exceptional. this place is 5 star.“

“Great food and karaoke Saturdays are so fun!! You have to have a Mezcal shot at casa mezcal lol!!“

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“Service was super quick, staff friendly and the burgers are amazing!“

“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‼️🥰❤️“

“We ordered the chicken and waffles, a Baileys Irish coffee, and a side of bacon. The waffle was amazing the only thing was it may have been maybe sitting under a light for a while becuase there was a portion of it that was crispy like chips, I didn't care for that at all. The coffee was lukewarm, and my bacon was overcooked. But the reason i gave them 5 stars is because the service was SUPERB! We were visiting and didn't know of any places to go so we asked the waitress and they took their time and gave us a list of a couple places we could visit in the city and to me that in itself was awesome. Also the waitress removed the overcooked bacon and the lukewarm coffee from my tab, when she noticed that I didn't eat it, without me even having to ask, although I wouldn't have, I would've just paid for it. This place was clean and it was absolutely, for us, worth it.“

“Not sure how this doesn't have five stars across the board. We drove from almost ten hours away and after scouring places to eat we decided to stop here. The crust is crisp, not soggy or tough with good flavor and thickness. You can't go wrong with fresh ingredients like the mozzarella and mushrooms (fresh not canned, wowee!) either. We also tried Gina's Gem and between the beautiful focaccia and the dip being creamy while also sweet with a small back burn to it, you really can't go wrong. The bar is a great place to sit, no spoilers, but the walls and shelves are filled with awesome and hilarious things that make good conversation. It's a shame this wonderful place is so far from home but we're hoping to make it a yearly tradition. Thanks for the great food, staff, and atmosphere!“

“I bought 5 kg of tortillas for an event last Sunday and everyone love them !!

“It’s the best cocktail bar in Grandview“

“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.“

“This is a terrific small venue for drinks and live music. Theres plenty on tap to please the most uptight IPA’er and several great homemade n/a sodas.

Sound quality and mix is excellent for such a small room. Plus the lighting is amazingly appropriate for the stage size.

Consider the Rambling House for your next gig.“

“Fantastic food and service. Top notch - if your in Columbus this restaurant is a must.“

“So cute! We hadn't ever seen a glow in dark mini golf so when we came on vacation we knew we had to. It is a little small of a course, but we love putt putt golf! Friendly staff and going to have to come back for a pizza that smelled delicious!“

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

“fresh rolls and good service“

“My waiter was super fast and very nice. Food was delicious!“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“love this place Ciara is the best. touch tunes has all the hits.“

“We had a table reserved on 2/15/25 and had a fantastic experience. The service was on point, with a friendly waiter who took very good care of us. There was a small mishap with a drink hitting the floor (party foul!), but everyone jumped right on it and made it a non-issue for us or anyone else around.

The food and drinks were top notch as well, all topped off by a great atmosphere. We will be back.

Parking: The attached lot is somewhat small for the number of cars. It seems like they minimized the parking space sizes to try and maximize the total amount of cars. Carpool if possible.“
