“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.“

“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.“

“CoHatch has been by far the best coworking community ive been a member of, the value you get with a membership is most excellent. for someone like myself that is a roaming worker, I never like to work the same place every day, cohatch is perfect as there are many locations.. not only that, but each location has its own vibe, its own decor, and personality.. Having local roasted espresso is another plus as i get craft coffee-shop quality espresso as much as i want.. the staff has been nothing less than fantastic in helping me find things, answer questions and the like, wifi is always nice n fast, all locations use the same credentials so its easy to get connected. each membership level includes 24x7 access which is perfect for the ikes of myself who tends to work at odd hours. it really feels more like hanging out in a trendy coffee shop than it does in an office.“

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.“

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 !!

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!“

2 great pool tables and a dart board. The 2 working bartenders are attentive to not only drinks but they're kitchen as well.

I recommend checking the place out, not a bad stop on any night.“

St James Tavern Bar • $
1057 North 4th Street, Columbus - 10.46 miles

“As frequent visitors, 1-2 times a year, this bar is a MUST, go-to stop when we get to town. Pool table, dive-y, good vibes. (5 stars on food for the overall score...even though they don't service food, just great drinks :) )

On previous visits (last year and years prior), the bartenders were a tad off-putting at the beginning. It just took some work for them to warm-up to us over their locals, but no matter what they always eventually got a point that the bartenders working broke down and opened up.

On this most recent visit (Feb'2026/just last week), we had Autumn helping us on all three visits to St.James. She was the amazing! Not only was she extremely welcoming, but she was super engaging and made a point to make us feel welcome the was great at suggesting places for food or fun things to see as tourists. We had a great time, which was nice because we had some family with us as Columbus first-timers. Seriously going to ask about her every time we get to town going forward.

We always highly recommend this bar to friends visiting Columbus, and we will always make St. James a must-stop when we get to town.“

“Had our birthday dinner last night with 18 people and we were treated like royalty!!! Got a reservation no problem. We sat outside and it was going to begin storming so they closed the canopy around us. They turned on fun twinkly lights, swept up. Most importantly, when it began raining so hard, we couldn’t hear and it started to come through the canopy, they didn’t care at all that we took our large group inside!!!! Most of all, there are not enough words to say about our waitress, Robin. The best service we have EVER had anywhere. She treated everyone like family, no one ever waited for a thing!!! Not for food, not water, not drinks, not napkins, not anything. No one even had issues with their bills even though this large group was all separate and moved all over the place. Everyone in our group expressed how amazing she was and how not a thing went wrong or unnoticed or not taken care of. She is a wonderful person and a master of her job. Thank you Robin and the rest of the staff!!!“
