    Amazing massive bar with some delicious brew. My coworkers and I recently visited BrewDog for a birthday celebration. The crowd make their appearance shortly after the commencement of happy hour. 😉 Cool and hip crowd. Modern decor with comfortable sitting either indoors, outdoors, downstairs, and or upstairs. Nice color palette that compliments the setting. To drink I had a few Lost Lager. My coworkers and I sampled The Plant Stack which complimented our cocktails and was deliciously savory. Nice service. Parking in the rear of the building. Metered free parking available also. Decent prices.

    1st time here, finally. I know, I know. We grabbed a drink and a sharable before hitting up an even at The Vanderelli Room art gallery. The Korean loaded fries were one of the best things I have eaten in the Columbus area. They were friggin amazing. Flavors, textures, spice, heat. They had it all. I can not recommend them highly enough. $12.99 and it was a huge serving. Plenty for 2-3 people. I also had a Casino Rye Ale. It was tasty as well. 👍👍

    Great experience here. We were staying in town for a night and stopped here for dinner and a beer. We came on a Monday and the Vegan menu items were BOGO and they were both delicious, but the cauliflower burger was hands down one of the best plant based meals I’ve ever had. The rooftop patio was breezy and packed and very dog friendly which was another perk. Next time we’re in town we will be stopping in again.

    Decently sized outpost of a cool, international craft brewery. Wide range of beer styles, from sours to NA. Fun swag plus bottles and cans to go. Super friendly and accommodating staff.

    Food is way too overpriced and it looks like it comes out of a microwave. We got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and couldn’t even eat it. The chicken was gray and rubbery.

    Great vibe. Amazing selection of craft beers. Out door patio and huts! Street parking. No machines to tap Apple Pay for payment.

    Decent atmosphere. I like the industrial look of the building and the people were nice. Very good selection of beer and food. I come here solely for the Mexican street corn which has now left the menu and was pretty disappointed about that and the sole reason for my lower review also food is more on the expensive side. Close to 30$ for a burger, fry and root beer.

    Very chill spacious place that serves great food and lots of beer choices which currently is mostly IPA’s and sours. My wife was very happy about the sour beer selection. The vegetarian sweet potato burger was amazing and the cauliflower buffalo wings tasted like the real thing... and I’m not a vegetarian! I love how this place has an outdoor upper deck area to hang out and watch the sunset. We were easily able to get to this location via scooters from downtown. The only gripe we had was it can get a little busy and our server one time forgot my beer, gave me blue cheese instead of ranch, the street corn was extremely salty and we got the regular fries when we ordered sweet potato fries but she corrected it and let us keep the regular fries which made up for it. All in all we had a great time here with the beautiful modern chill vibe, tasty food and friendly service!

    Food is great, just turned us away for having an 18lb dog. Not sure when no dogs inside became a rule... never said anything to me prior. Rooftop seating is nice in the summer. My gripe with Brew Dog is that they sell themselves as craft and local but truly are not. Tasty corporate beer tho. Thanks for turning us away for having a dog. We went over to Rehab and spent our time and money there. Picture is us having more fun at Rehab.

    Not the best BrewDog I've been to, but still had all the staple beers and more that are available in the States. Just crying out for the 5am Saint that was pictured in the restroom! The vegan burger was delicious, though a little expensive.

    Good beer, pretzel was only okay. Loved the rooftop patio! JET black Stout is a delicious vanilla nitro Stout. Happy Happy Joy Joy was just like n almond joy but TOO sweet for me to drink a whole glass.

    Beers were okay and the space is interesting but the quality of service and the ability of the kitchen to keep up with the volume of customers they accommodate is really disappointing. There was a festival across the street but Brewdog didn’t seem especially crowded. Expect a significant wait if they’re at all busy and even then there were errors in our case. We ultimately left without our food and the staff wasn’t apologetic at all - in fact the manager would not speak to us. After some effort we did manage to have the food items taken off our check.

    Sat upstairs and ordered a dinner 45 minutes before the kitchen closed. Nice views, bartender was wonderful. Food service: They served us regular burgers insisting they were beyond meat (they weren’t/bartender confirmed), with cheese (ordered without cheese), and nothing else on the burger. When we asked the food runner about it, she said the kitchen would be closing in 5-10 minutes and they wouldn’t be able to remake it. We left hungry, with most kitchens closed at this point, and extremely disappointed with BrewDog. Great views only go so far.

    Lovely atmosphere with a really cool rooftop bar. The beer selection is always great with a good variety and tasty options. I would completely avoid eating here because you're heavily overpaying for what you get.

    Plenty of outdoor seating, beers are constantly rotating. Dog friendly, they even provide water bowls for your furry friends. They do have a kitchen which is top notch for being a brewery. Close to the walking paths and downtown Columbus. It can get busy on a Friday night, but you won’t have to wait too long for a seat. At least 20 beers on tap and a well versed variety of beer

    Super super great patio and patio service! Exploring the area and this has to be a Franklinton stop for you now! Cannot stop raving about their vegetarian options! Look at this platter?!?!?!

    Nothing short of an exceptional experience with BrewDog Franklinton. I have had my birthday party, graduation party, and significant others graduation party here due to the outstanding job and custom service. They personally called me and watched the weather to make sure we still had a spot to celebrate this past weekend. I was able to bring a cake in and balloons. I have been on the rooftop and inside for reservations and it THE BEST location, service, and environment to plan a special event. I cant say thank you enough!! Oh, and besides the space and service the beer is damn good.

    Brewdog is always a solid spot. We went on Wednesday for bingo and it was super fun! They have an awesome roof patio in good weather too.

  • 5/5 Josh A. 6 months ago on Google
    I've eaten here a couple times. It has not been a destination to end up there, we were just in the area. This last time though, might have made it become a destination spot. They had more veg/vegan options than what I remembered. We ordered the shareable cauliflower wings (1.5 lbs) and went with the survival of 2 side(went with 2 salads) and an order of fries. We left full and had a good amount of left overs that lasted me 2 more meals.

  • 5/5 Erin T. 7 months ago on Google
    This place is great! We went for drinks only and spent time on the outdoor roof top area. Nice view, plenty of room inside and out. The menu had good food options as well.

  • 4/5 Dana H. 8 months ago on Google
    We had been to this location several times. Told us to sit anywhere we like. food was great. My husband asked for tasters which was offered by the server. The rest of us ordered beer. It wasn't very busy. But we waited 15 minutes for beer and tasters.

  • 2/5 Jame C. 7 months ago on Google
    You MUST book a table 24hrs n advance for the Wednesday all you can eat wings option. I’m not from here and did not know that, so we drove there for no reason. They need to be much more clear on their website about that requirement. Also they weren’t busy at all so I feel like they still could have been more understanding and let use the all you can eat option.

  • 5/5 Quentin P. 7 months ago on Google
    Brewdog is by far my favorite craft beer in town! Came here for a happy hour, the Elvis Juice was and always is phenomenal. This location has a fun menu with variety if you show up hungry, and the board games on the second floor allow you to mix it up from the typical sit and chat brew pub. 10/10 I will be here again!

  • 3/5 Steve C. 11 months ago on Google
    Food and beer were great! Although they were out of Brussel Sprouts. Service was not good. My wifes beer did not come till I alerted a manager. Waitress never came back to our table to ask how our food was or if we needed any more drinks.

  • 3/5 Michael D. 6 months ago on Google
    Had high hopes based on the reviews and when we walked in the door. The good: nice place, good beer, salads were good even though they weren't exactly what was on the menu. The bad: house salad I ordered was $7.45 - the Feta salad my wife ordered was $17.95 and they were the same size. Didn't see anything in her salad that justified $10.50, especially since they were the same size. Her salad was supposed to come with bread...they were out of bread. How do you run out of bread (especially since it was still early evening)? My salad was supposed to come with pretzel croutons...no croutons. My salad was supposed to come with caramelized pecans...it came with walnuts instead. If you're out of something, tell the customer first and don't make them have to ask. I also ordered a chicken taco...it was cold and tough by the time I got it. We don't know how much was the server and how much was the kitchen, but it shouldn't take that long to make a salad (and a cold taco). We were within minutes of walking out. Lastly, they were playing some music game and it was way too dang loud...there wasn't a place to sit and have a conversation. I'll end on a good note - the server took 10% off because she knew we were getting frustrated...still not enough to ever go back or to recommend the place.

  • 5/5 Adrienne H L. 5 months ago on Google
    My husband and I brought our 3 kids and invited another couple and their 2 kids to a kids eat free night. The big booths were super helpful--the kids could have their own and the adults had theirs--as much as possible with kids 6, 5, 4, 2.5, and 1. The food was quality, the service was prompt, and the beer selection was great as usual!

  • 5/5 Devon R. 6 months ago on Google
    Had an after work event at Brew Dog. It was great! The atmosphere was very relaxing being able to go inside and outside. The fire pit was also a nice touch as it was getting chilly. I also enjoyed all the drinks and the food that we had.

  • 5/5 Matt M. 6 months ago on Google
    Pretty cool find. 1st location was not as good. No service and svjetchy part of town so we opted to head to this location and it was the opposite. Nice servers. Beer was really good and pretzle was good as well

  • 4/5 guntherpea 4 months ago on Google
    I love BrewDog. The food is always great, my wife and I love the look of the place, the service is always friendly and on point. Of course, they make and sell amazing beer. One thing I learned, however, is it's rough in there in the winter. It had to be maybe 58 degrees F in there this evening. Definitely an easy place to recommend still. Maybe just consider the weather/temperature and layer up or bring your own space heater.

  • 1/5 Amy W. 3 months ago on Google New
    I would just like to express the disappointment that I had in my experience last night. I booked this as a surprise for my boyfriend on a double date. Because I have seen other people that said they highly recommended it. Disappointed that the heater was not was working it was cold. Using radiant heaters on the best, they do not blow air. They was out of 4 items we tried to order. Brisket Mac, pretzels, a warm up cider drink and something other food item. The experience would have been much better if we didn’t have to bundle up with the blankets in the hut that was also wet! Don’t use metal chairs in 30degree temperatures. Just very sad that my surprise date for my husband turned into a very cold, eat fast and leave kind of night. The concept is great, but the execution was not there. The waitress was great but could tell she was embarrassed for the fact they was out of a lot of items. She did play rock paper scissors with our family.

  • 2/5 Douglas B. 3 months ago on Google New
    They told me that we didn’t have a reservation. Even though we clearly did. They was no table service. They were out of lots of things. The wrong drink was made for our party. The meals were incomplete - because the kitchen didn’t have all of the elements described on the menu. The temperature was cold and drafty. The bathroom area was not stocked.

  • 3/5 Sara D. 7 months ago on Google
    I feel bad for the employees who worked on Labor Day because they were severely understaffed and the restaurant manager should probably have made the call to close it for the holiday. Our waitress did her best considering she had both the full inside & outside areas and doesn't usually work at this location, so no complaints at all about her. We had to wait quite a while for food and beer. The beer options were pretty generic considering the size of the franchise. The restaurant was out of avocado so that eliminated a few dishes I was excited about trying. They were also out of their ice pops which were supposed to come with the kids meals. My son's cheeseburger was way overcooked and dry. The women's restrooms needed attention, one was completely clogged and the other was out of toilet paper. Really a pretty disappointing experience considering we went out of our way on our drive home from out of town to stop there. Not worth our time or money.

  • 4/5 Tom M. 9 months ago on Google
    We were here on Red, White and Boom. Our server Sarah was outstanding and was great considering the situation. The female bartender on the other hand came off as rude and unhappy to be working. I get it, the place was busy but you are in customer service, if you don’t like it find something else as your job. Maybe she expected more help but dealing with her was not a pleasant experience. Our food when we received it was very good and our drinks were good as well.

  • 2/5 Lindsey S. 8 months ago on Google
    We came with a reservation for a party of 6 on a Saturday night and were informed 30 minutes into our reservation that the kitchen was not processing anymore orders for food because there was a large party being served upstairs. Very inconvenient, they did not offer to comp our drinks. We were eventually able to order food over an hour later.

  • 4/5 Haley 9 months ago on Google
    I came here after work with some coworkers to celebrate a birthday. I loved the atmosphere and our waitress was so sweet, patient and attentive. The selection of drinks is a great reason to come here. However, eat before you go. Most menu items are around $20 and personally I didn’t see why. The food was good but certainly not $20 a burger good. All in all I’d stop back in, but after eating somewhere else.

  • 2/5 Christina H. 8 months ago on Google
    Gathered here for a roof top party. There were two large parties. There was not enough people servicing the parties and the food was taking on average, 45-60 minutes to be delivered. Once I finally got my food, an hour later, it was cold and sparse. No apology or concession was offered. Rooftop was to be expected but some fans throughout the space would've been nice while in the raw sun. Overall, will not be back.

  • 3/5 Caitlin M. 10 months ago on Google
    Bar service was good, great outdoor atmosphere. Nice special offerings throughout the week like the 2-4-1; pretty tasty burgers and I liked the truffle potato salad, but a bit disappointed in the quality of the salads (clearly greens were just dumped from a package and multiple pieces of lettuce had gone bad and ruined the whole salad since the slimy pieces attached to the remaining good ones).

  • 2/5 Michael S. 11 months ago on Google
    Reserved a table for a surprise birthday party. That part was easy. The surprise was great. But then the whole party was separated and then further separated because it was apparently bar service only. So ordering all drinks, apps, food had to be with a VERY overwhelmed bartender, averaging 10-15 of waiting any time you went up. Very unlikely to go through that hassle again. It would've been nice to know that's how the service was going to be when reserving and having several out of town people show up to mainly stand waiting for anything and everything. Half the food was out of stock. And one couple was cut off from ordering completely based on ticket times. How can you cut off part of the party? Luckily, the company was worth it and we made the best of it.

  • 4/5 Scott E. O. 10 months ago on Google
    Server was on her first day so I’ve got to give grace for that. Everyone starts somewhere. Food was good as usual, but prices are well beyond similar dishes elsewhere in town—especially for portion size.

  • 4/5 Hannah S. 10 months ago on Google
    We had a great experience at Brew Dog! We made a reservation for a large group and there was plenty of space and it was a great atmosphere for everyone to get together! My only complaint was the service. Our server was amazing! But she was the only server for the whole first floor. It took quite some time for us to get our food and drinks once they were ordered. I would have anticipated that with a larger reservation there would have been an additional server to help with the influx.

  • 2/5 Naomi H. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to Brew Dog on 3/30/23 for dinner and beers. They were out of salad, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and chicken wings. We had reservations. It would have been great if someone could have given us a heads up about the limited menu. Our server was not apologetic. The food we did have (burgers) was mediocre.

  • 4/5 Scott 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of beers and their Patriot Burger was excellent.

  • 5/5 Janeen R. 1 year ago on Google
    Omg so good. Such a cool place. Good vibes, nice people, great food. Carnitas and buffalo cauliflower on point 👏🏻

  • 3/5 Ty C. 2 years ago on Google
    The chicken sandwich was okay. Bread didn't hold it together so it fell apart. The waitress wasn't the best. She checked on us maybe twice and that's it

  • 5/5 Kim R. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a beautiful day to sit outside and have lunch with a friend. Food was good, I had buffalo cauliflower sandwich w/ Mexican street corn & my friend had Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. I got a flight of beers so I could try some BrewDog beers I'd never had. We were happy with everything & the space was wonderful.

  • 5/5 Be P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and social vibe, delicious beer and food. I love the lightly breaded cauliflower wings.

    Apricot sour was pretty good. Food not so much. Very busy on a holiday. No servers.
