50 Best Bars near Whitehall

“amazing staff that are on top of things awesome karaoke and fantastic drink prices“

“An absolutely amazing experience — and that’s just the people who work there. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like a valued guest. Then, there’s the food! Every dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. It’s without question some of the most incredible food I’ve ever had. From start to finish, 91 Bistro delivers on every level. I can’t recommend it enough! This was my second time eating here and it certainly won’t be the last.“

“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!“

“Fantastic new spot in Short North. Exceptional staff, great food and great vibes for dancing all night!“

“Awesome atmosphere! Service at the patio bar was exceptional. comfortable, friendly and just an all around great time.“

“Enjoyed the “Daily Double” - two cheeseburgers and fries. Delish!“

“pros and cons. CONS.. If you were to base your visit on first checking out the cleanliness of the bathrooms before you eat, you'd turn around and leave. The men's room in the basement needs so much work and the multiple colonies of gnats was like visiting the basement of college kids from a party and cans and spilled beer have never been cleaned up. Horrible condition. The ladies refused to even look at theirs. Booths are small and tight. Definitely an old building, but it's kind of cool with its history. PROS... Those were some really really good burgers. Wife got the Ali and I got the Old School. Burgers are huge and easily splitable. We tried this after friends suggested the burgers and we were not disappointed. Onion rings were too greasy for us, but the fries and homemade chips were great. Alll and all, it's definitely an option to eat again when in town.“

“After taking our pet to the vet, we stopped into Birch Tavern for dinner. We sat on the patio since it was a nice day. The food was delivered fast and was delicious. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was good. My wife had the birch club sandwich, and I had the boneless chicken wings. They were comparable in size to Roosters. I enjoyed our experience there.“

“Only been here once. Enjoyed the beer I had.“

“Me and my friends experience was so nice in here! Such friendly vibes and great customer service! The bartender was so nice and explained so much to us and had such a great attitude! Such a vibe! 🫶🏻 The drink was amazing but this place should be called Full Baked because after a drink and a half I was gone. 😜 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Went to the Blu Note for the first time for my birthday in August. One of the waitresses was being trained by another waitress so we had two waitresses waiting on us (: and they did a great job!!! The live music was lively and the food was excellent , lamb chops were off the chain and the chicken wings were seasoned just right! They gave me complimentary New York Style Cheese Cake for my birthday as well ! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression “I’ll be back”.“

“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.“

“They don't sell food so I didn't rate them on that. This is an excellent, dark, small, sticky, homey, old, jazz club dive bar. Great music, lots of local history, cheep beer. Would recommend, but only if you are polite and like music.“

“One of the greatest storytellers in Columbus runs this spot. Frequented by kind people with weird hobbies. Bring a friend or make one.“

“I don’t want to remove a star because your pickle pizza is dreamy but you made me waste money on those stupid for profit parking lots that don’t even use the funds to repair the lots. The parking is like 11 dollars we found another one for 6 bucks for two hours walk up to Slammers and it’s locked. Everything says it’s open, the web site, Google, the door sign itself… we’re not rich, just wanted to have a beer and pizza after a really bad day and tried To call but there’s no way to leave a message… just boo that wasn’t cool. Next time make a sign when you don’t feel like opening up during your normal hours, think of your customers. *waaah*“

“Great place for drinks and dogs!“

“We love this place! But didn't check my order before we left tonight and it was wrong. Bad me. Didn't get the sub I ordered and all was cold. Just check your order before you leave.“

“Great lunch spot- really reasonably priced, friendly service and great food! I’m glad we stopped in to try it“

“One time I had a little too much fun here. Bartender politely cut me off and gave me coffee for free. He also made sure I had a ride home. I’ve only been here a few times but every time ive been the atmosphere was very lax and entertaining. If I were to start drinking again… I would be here every night. Amazing service!“

“Great place to spend time with friends. Friendly staff and creative drinks!“

“A classic neighborhood bar, that people come to from all over. The TouchTunes is always an eclectic mix just the like the patrons, who are drawn by the friendly and welcoming-to-all attitude and vibe of the great bar staff.“

“A really cute spot we just stumbled up a few months ago and just recently went back. They make some really awesome cocktails and have pretty much all the classics you would expect along with a solid selection of beer. Honestly its just a hella cute bar, nice little patio with a fire pit and really awesome inside with exposed bricks and a lot of plants and retro decor everywhere. Wish I found this spot sooner!“

“Nicole, Jonah and Matt are my absolute favorites!!! amazing vibes, great service!! the best dive bar in the brewery district 🙌🏽!! Kitchen open till 1am always a plus 🤌🏽 and if you can catch Tommy he's best gem of the whole place ❤️“

“Great spot with good vibes“

“Good band tonight. Small crowd. But great atmosphere“

“I love everything about this place. I see sometimes they struggle with consistency and I attribute that to it being short staffed and having such large volumes of orders. This place stays crazy busy in my opinion. But the food is so good. The wings are by the far the best I have had in town, even on their bad days. No matter what happens, lovells is always on the dinner menu atleast once a week. We are life long customers here in Reynoldsburg.“

“Great spot for shows and the staff there are incredible at what they do!“

“This place is wonderful. Buddy and I had a great experience here. We came in from out of town and went to this location 4 times over the course of 4 days. Ambiance, environment, food, service, drinks were all top tier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun time. Emily our server was amazing and took care of us. We will surely stop back here if we ever return to Columbus.“

“Great atmosphere and service bartenders are great. I had them mix me up something cute. I don’t remember what it was but it was good. Whatever makes drink it was it cost me $14 and then Tito‘s and something my friends drink so like quickly $24 and two drinks which I guess it’s fine. You know we went to go listen to the reggae with Pete Funkso good times.“

“awesome place. owner friendly and welcoming. he supports veterans!“

“We came in from Cleveland, looking for a more "local" stop for a few drinks before the night started. Bartenders were super friendly and attentive, even the customers made the place very welcoming!“

“Great time gathering to send my boss off!! Small but very clean and great atmosphere!!The bartender was so nice and friendly! The crowd was fun as well and karaoke was a blast!!“

“Really great bar/pub experience. Bartenders are attentive and very friendly to newcomers as well as the regulars. Food is great. Karaoke with John the KJ is very on point. My favorite Monday spot for drinks and karoake. Good atmosphere, good space indoors and outdoors. Always a great time and thankful to all those behind the bar and kitchen for a wonderful experience!“

“If you want a place where you and your friends can go out, have reasonably priced drinks, be in a lively environment with some characters, and actually hear each other speak without massive TVs plastered on every wall, this is your spot. Some friends and I were in town for a Blue Jackets game a few weeks back, and we found ourselves coming back here each night we were there. Good times.“

“Great food and amazing service. Highly recommend- great environment ❤️“

“very elegant, stunning views, reasonable prices for the luxury you get“

“This place pours the strongest, most dangerously good Long Islands in town. The vibe at Char Bar is unbeatable—no frills, no fuss, just the perfect dive bar

Many people aren't aware that Abraham Lincoln spent the night there once many years ago! Historical!“
