30 Best Craft Breweries near Whitehall

“No matter who is pouring you know you’re in for a real good time at 2 Tones. Always coming up with delicious innovative craft brews. You will want to keep coming back. You can even take some cans home with you.“

“This is such an awesome brewery! Everyone is so warm and welcoming, and the environment makes you feel right at home. “Come as strangers, leave as friends” is what one of the employees told me, and I truly feel like they treat their customers like an old friend. German style beers are fantastic, my personal favorites being the Goldtop and Wiener. My family and I just love coming here, and always recommend it to anyone in search of a great Columbus brewery!“

“Pretty solid beer. Would go again.“

“Had an amazing time. Owner was great. Drinks were fantastic. I brought by my bachelorette party. We did flights. Great atmosphere and great time.“

“First Time It didn't disappoint we definitely will be back . I found out about the place on Instagram the pictures were on point and the Drinks as well as the food was outstanding .“

“Ive been in here twice but bought several brews.

My favorite was a seasonal pecan one, and also the barrel.aged sour I drank today. The seasonal pecan is wonderful, warm and complex ale that tastes of wintertime. The BA sour I had today was fantastic - Almost reads as a simple farmhouse ale but with the BA back. I also had a cinnamon coconut stout which waslike cinnamon toast crunch in a glass without being sickingly sweet. It is dangerously good and crushable.

I really like their pear cider, but I dont know what it is about it but it wreaks digestive havoc on me so I dont drink it anymore. Seriously I drank it like 3 times both in house and from cans and same result. I cant drink it. I am a cider lover, so Im not sure why this specific ones screws with me but I avoid it now.

Overall pretty good brews. You have to go up to the register line to order every time which was a little annoying, but other than that its a pretty good place. Pretty good brews.“

“Paid $80 for an uber eats order of wings and fish and chips. Ordered extra blue cheese and extra tarter sauce. Both things central to our meal...didn't get any sauce. This is extremely annoying and frankly I'm absolutely sick and tired of basic things like this getting missed on orders. The meal is literally ruined over something so minor...do better.

Edit. While I'm keeping the above message intact, the original "service" 1 star review really was an angry culmination of repeated order delivery errors from a multitude of resturants, not just Barelys. In fact, we still ate our meal the next day (with newly acquired sauces) and I have to admit the food was awesome. Additionally, we received a very friendly and prompt response from Jason the GM who graciously accepted the feedback and pledged to spread my frustration, so it's only right to update the service to 5. Mistakes happen, and yes I was angry, but their immediate and professional response deserves a rescore. We will be giving Barleys another go and I'm confident my future review with be 5 stars across the board, from the start.“

“Great environment! Even has a brewery cat!?“

“Joey went above and beyond for us on my first visit to Derive Brewing.. I’ll be back from Indiana as soon as the Turtleneck & Gold Chains is available again. Best Hazy I’ve ever tasted!!“

“My husband and I spent a wonderful Friday evening at Loose Rail Brewing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better night out. The atmosphere was fantastic, with live music playing from 7-10 PM, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening.

The food and service were excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices. We ordered a beer flight for just $10, which was a great way to sample a variety of their brews. For food, we shared garlic parmesan wings, fried pierogies, and pulled chicken tots — and everything was absolutely delicious! Best of all, our food total before tip was only $34.

We loved the indoor/outdoor seating and the inviting vibe that made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back for another enjoyable evening!“

“Love going to this place!“

“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. 😜 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was good tonight but my flatbread was burnt all the way around and so was mom’s garlic bread“

“I almost don’t want to review since I consider this place a hidden gem and kinda wanna keep it quiet 🤫. Ha. But I think the word is out. Pretty good crowd last night. Great live music! (Irish Road…don’t let the name fool you. Not Irish music. Great 2 person cover band with an occasional original thrown in 👍🏻). Great drinks (beer and cocktails). And the most amazing view of sunset/downtown with an occasional plane coming in for a landing. So cool. It is our favorite place on a nice night.“

“I’ve been a loyal patron of Hofbräuhaus for over a decade, and tonight’s visit was nothing short of exceptional, reaffirming why this place holds a special spot in my heart. The consistency of their world-class experience is a testament to the outstanding management that keeps everything running like a well-oiled machine. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere buzzes with warmth, authenticity, and that unmistakable Bavarian charm.

Tonight, our servers Kenzie, Leah, and Brady elevated the evening to new heights with their impeccable service. Kenzie, in particular, was on point as always, anticipating our needs with a bright smile and an infectious energy that makes every visit feel like a celebration. Leah and Brady were equally attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our table was perfectly tended to with a level of care that only comes from years of dedication. Their attentiveness is unmatched, and it’s clear they take pride in delivering an unforgettable dining experience. The consistency of their stellar service over the years is a big reason I keep coming back.

And let’s talk about the beer—pure perfection, thanks to the jolly and talented head brewmaster, Jason. His passion for crafting the highest quality brews shines through in every sip. Whether it’s the crisp Helles or the rich Dunkel, Jason’s beers are a masterclass in flavor and tradition, making Hofbräuhaus a true haven for beer lovers.

Tonight felt especially special, with Kenzie’s flawless service setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Hofbräuhaus continues to be a shining example of hospitality, thanks to its remarkable staff, exceptional management, and Jason’s unparalleled brews. Here’s to another decade of unforgettable nights!“

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

“Went to the tap room on a warm Sunday afternoon, and it was pretty quiet. I had never had their beer before at all, and the service was great giving me recommendations and offering samples. Service was fantastic, the beer was lovely, and I enjoyed the urban but quiet vibe outside. The patio is on an alley, so there’s not a lot of cars or commotion. Lovely.“

“Cute place with good food and beer. Atmosphere is cool as it’s an old historic building with beautiful stained glass windows. Right around the corner from the Courtyard Marriott downtown.“

“What a gem! We stumbled upon this little brewpub one evening while looking for a spot to watch a college football game. The barkeep was super friendly, joked around with us and made us feel completely welcome. We never felt rushed -- and the game went into OT! Beer and food were tasty. It had a vibe like we were all hanging at someone's house, just chillin and watching football!

Vegetarian options: Veggie Salad“

“Wolf Ridge Brewery exceeded our expectations! The pretzel was the perfect snack to pair with their delicious selection of beers. Cayson was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us choose the perfect brews, while Gregg’s kindness and attentive service made our visit even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town!“
