    I have visited The Olde Towne Tavern a few times in the last few years and a few times this year.They have one of the best nachos in Columbus. It was great to see David & Valentin (chefs/cooks) still working their magic at the tavern. You may enjoy your cocktails and food indoors and or outdoors. Nice size outdoor patio. Modernly decorated with comfortable seating. I had the half size and full size chicken nachos with the works. Still amazingly delicious! Free street parking out front, across the street, and around the corner. Decent prices. Nice happy hour menu and prices. Great service and hip crowd. Cool atmosphere.

    The food was good and the drinks were decent enough, not too strong though. The atmosphere is cozy. There is free parking. One pool table here. We love how wide the doors open, so that you can have the feel of being outside while still inside. Great bands play here!! Kudos to 90s music!!

    As African American male I have a visit this tavern multiple times either in my work clothes or am I semi casual and I've seen multiple different responses to serving me. My position is only to buy food Orchard socialize with company but majority of the time it is 2 takeout food it should not matter if I'm in my work clothes or in something little bit more refined a green dollar is a green dollar doesn't matter who it comes from for that young lady out there on the patio whether somebody sits by the fire pit or not it was my intention the tip whoever serve me you chose not to serve me

    Olde Towne Tavern is a hidden gem on the east side of Columbus. Abundant on-street parking on S 18th. We walked in on a Friday night@8p but it wasn’t very crowded. We sat out on the back patio which was very nice. The nachos (see picture) were as mountainous as we had been told to expect. The waitresses were busy but still attentive. Best of all, they had an organic chocolate stout (see other pictures) that I had not had the pleasure of drinking before. Possibly the best chocolate stout I’ve ever had. All-in-all, a great experience in a comfortable spot that enables good conversation. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

    Visited πŽπ‹πƒ π“πŽπ–ππ„ 𝐓𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐍 with my family. We ordered a couple of drinks but the highlight of the night were the Buffalo baked crispy bone in wings πŸ— 🀀. I believe I ate them within 2 mins. The bar was packed and everyone including myself was satisfied with the service. Highly recommend.

    I stop in here maybe once a year and always have question why I don’t stop in more often. The food is always hands down delicious AF. The staff is always a good time and back patio is a vibe. Cheers!

    The pickle was bigger then the $16 French dip sandwich. The quality was okay (nothing to write home about), but the sandwich itself was very underwhelming. They did not ask me how my food/experience was. There napkins were nice I guess so idk there’s that, atmosphere was nice.

    I always have a good experience at Oldr Towne Tavern! The brie grilled cheese is great, the meatloaf special will require a nap after eating and today I ordered the Tavern salad with beets. The staff is really friendly and always make me feel very welcomed. Check it them out soon!

    This was a really great place. The food was excellent, mr friends had fish tacos and I had small village salad, BYOBbaked potato (broc&cheese). We shared delicious pretzel sticks- it was all fresh and tasty! There was a patio with a fire ring but they had you come in to order- they were super gracious about it, and it was a nice evening to sit out there The bar tenders, servers, and kitchen were working pretty hard! Super team! Very busy for the cozy place!

    Came with my boyfriend and unfortunately only took a photo of our appetizer/my other half of my meal. That being said, holy cow was the hummus delicious. The pita was perfect. Super soft and perfectly warmed. All 3 types of hummus were *chefs kiss* Highly recommend said plate if you're dining with them. Will return if in the area

    Great food , beverages, and great service. I really love the vibe here. It's very laid back and you really can enjoy yourself no matter what day it is. The patio is nice and clean with plenty of seating .

    First time here, wanted to try something in the area. Met a friend for dinner and drinks. It was clean. Attractive. Quaint. The wait staff was pleasant and efficient. Enjoyed the veggie nachos for happy hour and had the brie/pear grilled cheese. It was well prepared but wouldn't order it again. I will definitely return and I highly recommend giving it a try. I would be a bar regular if I lived within walking distance.

    Great neighborhood joint for a relaxed meal. They have a wonderful covered patio with a fire pit and a nice herb garden off to one side. The food and drinks are good and the staff is very friendly. It definitely deserves 5 stars, but I do wish they would switch up the menu to incorporate seasonal veggies and what not. Give it a try, it is well worth it!

    My pictures aren’t as appealing since I ate all the good food and then thought to leave this review. Pulled pork sliders were good and my side of Mac and cheese was killer. Had the hummus appetizer, but it was devoured in seconds. Good music and atmosphere and super good customer service. No complaints here.

    They serve lasagna on fridays. Walking distance to my house which is nice. Overall a very nice place. Leaving off 1 star only because they wouldn’t put the volume on a Buckeye game during the playoffs.

    My partner and I can walk to this bar in Bronzevile. Never a wait and quick service. Nachos, grilled cheese, and pretzels are always good/tasty. Good selection of drinks. Nice place for couples or small groups. Has a back covered patio. Love this place.

    Ordered take out. The sandwiches were very tasty. The chips were a little too salty for my taste. The chicken quesadilla was amazing!

    Great atmosphere! Sadly could not enjoy any libations. Wiuld be a wonderful plave to spend a happy hour and relax. Staff was great and talkative. Food came out quick. The Cuban was on white bread, which was quirky, but was rather tasty. The guacamole was not up to par though sadly. The $5 burgers look amazing, and the opinion from the patron next me was "very good". Overall, I will visit again to enjoy.

  • 2/5 Mark B. 7 months ago on Google
    2/5 for food. 5/5 for service but I'm here to eat. Friday late lunch. Service was really good, but it wasn't busy so it should be. People were friendly and engaging. Two of us shared the cheeseburger and pepperoni pizza. Cheeseburger was OK, no complaints but wouldn't bring me back. Pizza was not good. This review may be subjective, but I know what I like and this isn't it. First, crust was thick, which I like, but light and flaky and lacked texture and flavor. Almost no sauce, just a hint. I admit to liking a saucy pizza but don't mind modest sauciness if it's flavorful, but this was neither. Sauce totally did not show up. Cheese was similarly undetectable. It was thin (barely there) and the keenest foodie could not have tasted that it was provolone. The only thing that stood out was the mountain of pepperoni. Good pepperoni but way to much, especially when the other ingredients were too meager to balance it. All I tasted was pep on dry crust. Save your money unless that's your thing. 1 on the pizza 3 on the burger gives it a 2 star review.

    I remember when you guys opened and I stopped in with my Sister years ago. Wow! Been back a few times in the last few months! Great food, service and music. I really enjoy what you all do! I was in the business for a long time and you guys get it all right! Appreciate the French Dip! The Tavern Salad w/ Beets though might be my favorite. Quite simply, Thank You!!

    Taco Tuesday at The Olde Towne Tavern. Tacos, and Ginger Beer. A great combination. πŸ‘

  • 5/5 Rosemary Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent beer selections on tap; I recommend Parsons North Double IPA. Service is friendly and efficient. At our table, we enjoyed both meat-based and vegetarian selections. We will return the next te we are in Columbus.

  • 3/5 Casey M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered via Uber Eats and food was decent value and taste for delivery. Generous portions. Presentation was a bit sloppy but otherwise a fair experience. Would eat here again.

  • 5/5 Ally W. 2 years ago on Google
    Olde Towne Tavern is an affordable neighborhood joint that my family and I can always count on for a great meal with friendly service. Their patio seating is perfect for a hot summer day or a cool fall night. You can sit inside where you are surrounded by TV’s, making Olde Towne Tavern a perfect place for game night! To make your experience even more enjoyable, the friendly bartenders will always change the channel for you if your game isn’t on! For an appetizer I always go for their pretzel sticks ($1.25 each at happy hour πŸ˜‹) or their house chips and guacamole! This restaurant is accommodating to anybody, so if you have a family or are going on a date, Olde Towne Tavern is the place to go!

  • 5/5 Zach M. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing vegan food that's thoughtful and delicious. I had one of the best vegan breakfast burritos of my life here. They also have some amazing hot sauce; don't skip the limoncello pepper sauce!

    I ordered French toast which was $12 and all I received was four small pieces of bread! A complete rip off! I will never be ordering from there again

  • 5/5 Ralph H. 2 years ago on Google
    Just moved to the neighborhood . The back patio is great. There is a fire-pit. There are a few tables. I assume this area stays full on days with nice weather. It is dog friendly. The bar partrons are a diverse group, so it seems like everyone is welcome. The food was great. The menu had a combination of standards and also some creations you'll only see here. All of the options were American style food options. This is definitely a place I'll frequent while I'm in this part of Columbus.

  • 5/5 Jeremy β€œJ.B.” B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic bartenders, are professional and at the top of there game at The Olde Town Tavern. The two off the top of my head are Taylor, and Dani but they all are great. Besides an amazing happy hour the daily specials are a wonderful, comfort food delight. 1) short rib special is of the charts yummy. 2) taco Tuesday are delicious 3) Monday night burger night is only a couple of bucks.
