    If you’re like the throngs of people that frequent this place despite living through the worst pandemic in 100 years, then you should have an awesome time. Masks? Nice try. COVID? Fake news! Beer and football, please. Never mind the fact that the owners are complicit with spreading the virus by letting in dozens of people who all crowd around one another. If you believe that caring about those around you is NOT an infringement on your rights, then you might want to check out a different venue. Otherwise, have fun!

    DO NOT GO HERE!! I went this past Saturday with my fiancé and his sister. They both ordered a drink and within minutes, they were both passing out, unable to walk or talk. I tried finding a phone number and can’t find one that works anywhere. Again, THIS PLACE IS SHADY AND WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!

    I came in for a drink and the bouncer saw me take my ID out of my bra and then sniffed it, long and hard; saying something to the effect of “yum” and leaning in as if he was going to put his face on my chest. I tried to tell management privately but no one cared or responded to my additional messages. I will never return.

    There is absolutely no reason for there to be only one women’s bathroom (which consists of two stalls) and two bathrooms for men for as big as what this bar is. The place is clearly run by men, its dirty and the staff have been rude in the past.

    If you are looking for a cheap beer and a cold night out R Inn is your place!

    Always a good time on game day. I find a spot wherever my favorite bartender Quin is working and hang out all day. She is always a ray of sunshine!!

  • 5/5 Zak B. 6 months ago on Google
    Easily one of the best campus area bars. Fun for current students especially for mug nights. But also one of the few remaining nostalgic bars for alumni to revisit. Great location, great layout with pool and darts and outdoor space. Will be back for sure.

  • 2/5 Roha T. 8 months ago on Google
    It was a good place for cheap drinks but it was small and dingy

  • 5/5 Kayla T. 9 months ago on Google
    My favorite campus bar, a classic and a legend. No food, but very well priced drinks! Pool tables and darts available.

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredibly friendly bar staff and a great atmosphere all the way around!

  • 5/5 john t. 1 year ago on Google
    Old school bar. At least 3 pool tables (7’ bar boxes) and all the cheap booze from plastic cups you can drink.

  • 5/5 Celine L. 1 year ago on Google
    hands down the best bar, the best vibe! always playing 21 pilots and that one closing time song! mug night and dollar wells FTW

  • 3/5 Cristina D. 1 year ago on Google
    In terms of a college bar, it’s a perfect “college bar.” Many minors so fake ids must be prevalent (aka college bar). There’s no cover to get in, but also ordering any “drink” costs enough for that. I’ve never seen such a laughable size and plastic cup a drink comes in. The bar was quite big however and does serve beer or seltzers in bottles so we went for that on our second round. There were tons of tvs and half indoors/outdoors style. Interesting and different concept for a college bar I give it credit.

    This is a great bar around campus. The building itself is cool, and tucked away from the street by a small wall, so you feel like you are somewhat removed from the outside world. I went on a Tuesday night and it wasn't crazy busy, which was nice. The drinks were also good. I got a whiskey ginger and I thought that it was great. They have pool tables downstairs, and some upstairs as well.

    One of the few, old school OSU bars left. It was fun 20years ago and still fun when I visit for gameday now. Wish more of them were still around.

  • 1/5 taylor s. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service, especially from the young Indian man who stands at the door. He said he was a new employee and had only been working there for a week. He was very drunk and very disrespectful. He has a mean face and is very rude for no reason. I will not be coming back because of him. I really wanted to have a good time, but he ruin my entire experience.

  • 5/5 James D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolute banger ambiance between the great staff and the whole indoor-outdoor schtick. They play great music and I can honestly say I've never had a bad time here. A true campus staple that I pray never gets gentrified into luxury apartments

    Not a bad dive bar near campus, drinks are cheap and you can take unopened cans to go if you don’t hit the $10 credit card minimum

  • 3/5 Ketan D. 2 years ago on Google
    College town Bar. Had a great time for Dad's Weekend.

  • 5/5 Marvin R. 6 years ago on Google
    Great college bar. This place is perfect if you are a student looking for a place to get your drink on or if you are pregaming an OSU football game! They have great deals such as their mug night or nightly liquor deals. Pool tables, darts, corn hole. Very open space with a nice outside patio and bar.

  • 4/5 Joe B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the OG OSU bars. Pool, darts, good vibes, cheap beer, Sicilian pizza. Mug night on sundays and mondays. 5 stars except they need to give this nice walnut tree some room to grow on the back deck. (Yes I’m old) Awesome place!

  • 5/5 Honey J. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite bars since the early 2000. Big fan of mug night (sunday & Monday). $3 gets you a cool keepsake mug full of beer. Choices include Crispin cider! Also big fan of the screwball peanut butter whiskey shots for $4 right now. Always a happening spot with two stories with multiple pool tables, outdoor areas in the front & big back patio, that is covered.
