    The bouncer wouldn't let my wife in because her ID was 3 months expired, she is 28, and then they proceeded to not let me in to go tell the wedding party group I was with, that we had to leave because I told him that was absurd. She got through TSA with the same ID a few weeks prior. My wife was also the maid of honor going to the after party with her sister who just got married. Very disappointing, the bouncer should think about how his actions affect the reputation of of the bar. The large group group we were with will make sure not to come back and we will spend our money elsewhere.

    The bouncer wouldn’t let me in with these shorts. I watched them deny 10 other people because they didn’t have a zipper. My shorts were $50. A lot of friend groups were broken up because of this. I saw them hand pick guys and let them in. It was totally discriminatory and me and my friends had not drank more than 2-3 beers. Absolute garbage. The bouncers were on a power trip for sure.

    We were there for an OSU football game during the winter break which probably made for a better experience because it was not packed as I would expect it to be during the regular semesters. Food was very mediocre. Service was good but I liked that there were screens everywhere and a host of games like pool, etc. Definitely a college pub.

    Great place for a fun time. Drinks weren't expensive and bartenders tried to go fast and get everyone as soon as possible. Would give 5 stars but the DJ at the time I went, was horrible. Sucked.

    It was out first time at this bar and we enjoyed every minute! The pitchers of long islands are definitely the go to drink. Can't wait to visit again!

    This place was AWESOME!!!! The atmosphere was super comfortable and it was so spacious in there. The menu was not disappointing at all, we ordered the gator balls and instantly fell in love! I can't wait to go back there again!

    Had a great time. Played corn hole out on the patio. Had some beer pong set up as well. Nice size fire pit to pull a chair up to. Rode the little electric scooters around town that you can pick up almost everywhere. Had a great night. Will def try to visit again.

    A member of my group was told he violated the dress code by wearing Nike workout shorts. Which. Is fine.... but while waiting for the other half of our group out front we watch the bouncer allow in many people who were dressed similarly or worse. It's been a while since I've been here and it seemed to not be taken care of as well as it used to. The entire floor was sticky. I do recommend the food though and love that they have a firepit you can sit around.

    This place literally smells like sewage. It’s impossible to enjoy your drinks or food because the intolerable smell from the bathrooms. The drinks are mid and the food is not very good. The games and activities available are fun, if you can stay away from the restrooms.

    It's the first time going to this bar and grill. The staff were amazing and helpful. I had a classic burger with fries, and it was really good. Reasonable pricing, considering it's in the Arena District before a hockey game. Recommended

    I stopped here for the first time before a Bluejackets game, and It was a little confusing how we were supposed to order food. We found a table and waited for a bit then because we didn't have a sever come to the table I figured I would ask. The bar staff told me you have to order at the bar and then it's delivered to your seat. Ok, so I ordered the chicken sandwich now while the food was good, especially the sweet potato tots. The sandwich was a little underwhelming as it was 2 tenders on some bread. For the price and the fact you have to stand in line at a bar to order, it should be better. Quality. I would say it has a fun atmosphere but definitely not the typical sit-down bar and grill. I wish the experience would have been better, but they may be understaffed. They have corn hole outside and a nice seating area if you can find a table. It gets pretty packed around the games. If this review helped you at all please mark as helpful and follow me for more reviews around the world.

    They have a fire pit. And place is huge so when it's busy it's a good time. They got connect 4 and Cornhole. Also they have an outside bar when it's really busy and not too cold outside

    Had a wonderful night here.. before the bar crowd comes in..it’s everything you want. Laid-back spot during the day. very nice patio, really great food and the awesome bartender Moe was very welcoming. Great experience and I’ll be back. 😊

    Went here on a date and had some great food. My date had to go up to the bar for drinks and for our food order. It wasn’t crowded at all so that was nice. I think they are just overworked and understaffed. Nice lady came around asking us if we needed anything at the end of our meal. Be careful when walking out in the dark because there’s a dip in the ground a sober person could trip and fall on. No bouncer carding anyone at that time.

  • 3/5 Malinda M. 4 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Good food but a bit overpriced. There's no wait staff. You have to wait in line at the bar to order. Plus music was so loud you couldn't enjoy conversations with your friends.

  • 3/5 Abbi B. 3 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Great food; cheese curds were AMAZING! I ordered the boneless wings (pictured half eaten), which were pretty good! However!! Had to order our food at the bar (no biggie), and the bartender was not very enthusiastic, a little rude. To the point where we felt like we were bothering her and said "Sorry" even though it was not busy whatsoever. She may have just had a bad night, but our waiter was the true test for us. Not sure if this guy just got dumped or is severely depressed, is high off his mind or just a straight up weirdo. With the literal scariest look on his face while wondering aimlessly around (we weren't sure he even worked there at first it was so strange?). He delivered our food, and I needed a fork to eat my wings. He obviously forgot, so I caught him the next time he came over (5-10 minutes later). He seemed annoyed, and then brought me a plastic fork and tossed it on the table without saying anything. Just a bizarre experience and I'm worried about this guys wellbeing!

    The place is clean and chill. The stuff are friendly and the price is reasonable. I ordered a classic burger which was juicy! The music was great too

    Looking for a college bar look no further. The food was typical Americana served up hot and fast and priced well. Plenty of space inside bring your friends and have a good time.

  • 5/5 Rob M. 10 months ago on Google
    Great college bar. Huge open space.

  • 1/5 Arushi V. 8 months ago on Google
    The bouncer is extremely rude there and thinks he’s the boss of the place. I was there to ask about an ID my friend forgot there. She doesn’t live in Columbus and had left the next day, which is why she asked me to check this for her. So I wanted to meet the manager for it. He was extremely rude about it and didn’t even let me enter the place saying I can’t collect a thing for someone else. So I was like ok, at least let me talk to the manager so my friend can talk to them over phone and then let him decide. But he just wouldn’t let me enter the place. In fact he was so rude, he told me “We are not supposed to take care of such things. BMVs are made for those.” He does not even have the authority to make any of those decisions. I just read another review about his rudeness here. Looks like he does it with all.

  • 1/5 StankN' D (B33fY C. 8 months ago on Google
    Was only headed here to meet up with someone but ended up meeting at a better spot before going in. The only other time I've been here, they wouldn't let me in because of a ridiculous dress code policy. Never been turned away from any bar/club, and after that, I decided I wasn't interested in coming back

  • 4/5 Dan B. 7 months ago on Google
    Food had great flavor. Only 1 person serving food from the bar. Guy doing maintenance that would make every safety worker cringe.

  • 2/5 Jason M. 6 months ago on Google
    Not a clean place. EVERYTHING is sticky. Drinks are junk and bottles way overpriced. Location is great...it all stops there.

  • 5/5 James R. 5 months ago on Google
    Great food and great staff. Absolutely terrific experience! Hands down one of the best spots I’ve been to in Columbus, really terrific!

  • 1/5 Sami S. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Bartenders need more training. We ordered drinks, nothing crazy, 2 ingredients drinks. The bartneded said "oh we can only make like simple drinks." Mind you, they carried all the components for these drinks. Also, while ordering drinks, I noticed them struggling to get alcohol out of the bottles due to them not pouring, but shaking the bottle up and down to get it out the pour spout... lol. They had no idea what they were doing. We left after the first round.

  • 3/5 beth d. 10 months ago on Google
    Good happy hour deals. $3 domestic bottles. Dj, nice patio.

  • 5/5 Henry W. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with some friends on a Friday a Friday night got food some drinks and played pool. Had a great time, food and drinks were really good. Great environment not too pricy. My only complaint would be it was somewhat hard to figure out how to place an order and they were slightly understaffed. But overall a good experience

  • 5/5 Inderdeep S. 1 year ago on Google
    This my best to go place! Never disappoints me! But I would say the new dance floor lighting's aren't appealing! I loved the old low light dance floor! This is too bright!!!! Can we go back to the previous lighting!

  • 5/5 Asa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great alcohol prices at happy hour. Always a favorite to go to before blue jackets games. Their menu is what you would expect from a bar but the food the make is good.

  • 4/5 Cin O. 1 year ago on Google
    It was on a Tuesday so I wasn't expecting it to be crowded or anything like that. It was however perfect for our little crew and how we wanted to just chill. Drinks were on point and they have specials for every day. Also, the bonfire was a whole vibe.

  • 5/5 Zachary H. 1 year ago on Google
    Brothers Bar & Grill was a delightful place to eat in Columbus. I went on a Wednesday evening and the place was almost empty so no issues getting served etc. Food was great and so was the beer. Atmosphere was wonderful and the crowd started to pick up. Definitly visit when in the area.

  • 3/5 Brad K. 2 years ago on Google
    First let me say their food is amazing however the setup is terrible. You can either order from the bar or at a table. You seat yourself. From your table however you have to scan a qr code to get the menuto order. It then puts the order in as a pickup which would be fine but the very nice gentleman dropping food off to tables said if you order from scanning the qr it puts it in like a door dash order. The line and wait was horrendous but in their defense there was a concert going on across the street at nationwide arena. They could have been better prepared having more staff but may not have that availability. All staff was amazing and worked their buttons off just didn't have enough help. Waited for drinks for about 20 minutes in line.

  • 3/5 Praveen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok place, food was ok and the IPA doesn’t have enough pSI, and it was like drinking water.

  • 4/5 Claudia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth visiting while in the area. Menu wasn't to much to overwhelmed & reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and open to offer ideas. Had indoor & outdoor seating w/ heaters.

  • 5/5 Shelley G. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a good time, the Bartenders are great! They remember your groups order when you get a round. The food is very good and they have a lot of drink and food specials throughout the week. The Bar is huge and there are pool tables and basketball hoop games. Restrooms are clean.

  • 5/5 Jonathan F. 2 years ago on Google
    loud crazy bar with a live DJ the night we were there. the shots were good abd the ice tea was better. had a great night with friends hanging out and meeting new friends

  • 3/5 Bluejackets F. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in before a CBJ game. The atmosphere is nice, prices not bad and the food is very good. Only issue we had was the ordering process...slow and a little disorganized. Overall we had a good time. Looking forward to giving it another try soon.

  • 4/5 Kim F. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good. Lunch time the service is slow.

  • 4/5 Scott C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun place, great beer selection. Staff members were professional and helpful. Great outdoor seating.

  • 4/5 Mac Z. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a good time. We got the 32oz long islands which were yummy, not overly strong though. The DJ wasn’t quite doing it for us, but we had fun anyways. Great for after a game.

    Treated us very well for a last minute private event.
