47 Best Cocktail Bars near Westerville

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Had the best time at the downtown Columbus location last weekend for Valentine’s Day! Highly recommend, Kiiya and Savanna and crew made our night special. 10 out of 10, no notes!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Visited to kick off my birthday weekend celebrations and started with the distillery tour. It was a great time and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and hilarious! Our group enjoyed her so much!!! The bartenders made some great drinks and the vibe was very chill. This place is definitely a hidden gem.“

“We are from Kentucky and were in Columbus for a concert. I’ve always wanted to try a place that has been featured on Triple D, and this was the best decision ever! High Bank exceeded all expectations! We left with a full belly and A bottle of whiskey to remember them by. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. From now on, every trip to Columbus will include a stop at High Bank Distillery!“

“Traditional phillys in Ohio, I'm on it. 5*“

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

“Went to Taj on Fifth last night and OMG — the service, the atmosphere & the food were spectacular! The Lamb Chops, Kale Chaat, and Spicy Margaritas were next level and don’t get me started on the dessert. Truly exceptional! 🔥 🍸“

“Amazing service and staff. Love the setting.“

“Explain, maybe i'm not sure.Burger is is amazing.You gotta put this in your mouth and the fishing chips.And my wife has is absolutely delicious.But the brussels sprout appetizer is spectacular also“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Amazing birthday dinner.. I ordered twin lobster tails. We split a wedge salad and bread basket. Husband had teriyaki salmon which was melt in your mouth perfection. Free birthday dessert was warm butter cake with fresh fruit, ice cream and raspberry sauce. Absolute perfection and amazing service. Thank you for a great celebration.“

“Always a great time at The Avenue, but Brady really set the bar tonight. Constantly checking on us, very attentive to us and everyone around us, and never skipped a beat when it came to explaining specials and answering our questions. Can’t wait to come back!“

“There was amazing service, it was fast and the waiter was amazing. They were pretty busy when we got here but got seated right away as well as our food was fast and tasted amazing. Definitely a favorite and will come agin“

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

“Great Bourbon and Great Food!“

“Wonderful experience and great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Bodega is one of those places that knows exactly what it is and leans into it. A low-key, no-frills neighborhood dive with just enough charm to make you want to hang out longer than you planned.

The funnel cake fries are the real surprise hit. Crispy, fluffy, perfectly dusted with sugar and dangerously easy to keep eating. I honestly came in for a drink and left thinking about those fries.

Huge shoutout to Salim behind the bar. Super friendly, attentive, and bringing just the right mix of smooth and playful energy that makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. He made the whole experience better.

Bodega may not be trying to be fancy, and that’s part of its appeal. It’s a relaxed, easygoing spot with good vibes, great service, and snacks that punch way above their weight.

Would come back, especially for those funnel cake fries and Salim’s hospitality.“

“Beautiful dining area! Having a great evening.“

“Amaaaazing food, great ownership! Very happy this place opened and hope to see it succeed! Definitely recommend Sunday brunch! And Weds $1 wings!!! I hope they do one get some mimosa specials! And look forward to having a fun birthday party!“

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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Staff was incredible! So so nice, extremely welcoming, beautiful decorated environment. They gave each mom a rose today, for Mother’s Day. As well as half off plates! 🥹 food was delicious, plan on going every time I’m back in Columbus!“

“My girlfriend and I come here all the time. We love all the unique draft options to choose from, and we’ve always had the kindest and sincerest bartenders. We also love the pretzel knots and it’s our go to every time if we’re feeling a snack!! Absolutely recommend Nostalgia for the energy and wonderful food and drinks.“

“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!!“

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

“I’ve eaten at every Indian joint in Columbus and hands down this is the best spot for flavor and environment, I’ve tried stuff I’ve never eaten before (yummy) I’ve tried food I loved back home (delicious) and they always deliver, I’ve ordered out here over 15 times according to DoorDash and sat in 3 times this place is THEEEEEE spot“

“It’s been maybe 5-6 years since I visited Service Bar and it’s still an underrated hidden gem in the Short North. I wish there were more gluten free options on the menu, but it’s a great value happy hour with incredible quality food and drinks. Specially, our server Grace was so friendly and professional. We loved our experience and will look forward to coming back!“

“Loved this place completely until today. I've been here probably 40-50 times in the last 2 years. It's always been pretty good and good service. Today I met a friend there for dinner and we got Ismaelas a server. He got mad at us because our drinks weren't right. All we did was ask for something different. He did not like that. We got our new drinks after about 10 minutes. We ordered our food and he even repeated back to us what we were ordering as he was writing it down. Once our food came mine had onions and pico. Neither of which I eat. We waited a few minutes for him to come back around and I told him about my issue. He looked mad that I did not want the onions on my food. Literal just gave me a dirty look.I told him to just take it back and I do not need a replacement. My friend did eat his tacos. He didn't come back over to our table for a while. My buddy ran out of his drink for maybe 15-20 minutes. We told the lady at the counter but she didn't seem to care. Hopefully someone does. I've brought a lot of people to this establishment and I myself have spent a ton of money there bringing my family of 5. Ive left good reviews and always spoke highly of this place. I've always bragged about how they have it figured out. Well, today has somewhat ruined it for me. Never once were we rude or out of line. I'm guessing Ismael was having a bad day. Maybe I'll come back later in the future, maybe not. That's sucks because I really like their food.“
