    Had drinks here, very cool atmosphere. People were playing darts in the back while others were just standing in groups talking. Some were sitting as well. The people here seem like a late twenties crowd for the most part. There were historical plaques on the wall that were about the importance of baseball in Ohio. Overall it was a really fun place to go, I'd like to go there again for a casual drink.

    Was quite surprised to read an article about the best yak burgers in the country, and find one here in Columbus! The burger was tender, delicious, and perfectly cooked. The bacon, smoked cheddar, and house-made pickles were perfect complements. The draft beer list is strong and the service is friendly and fast.

    Randomly stopped in on a Tuesday night. Very chill and casual bar. It has an old school vibe. The bartender was super nice and attentive. You can play darts in the back. No pool table. Good experience overall. Reasonable price on drinks

    Interesting mix of a somewhat gentrified dive bar that still serves their famous sauerkraut balls but is also now the commissary home of the Two Fatt Indians food truck which does food service in the bar as well. They have a fairly extensive draft list, staff and the regulars were both nice, and the food was really good.

    This place is one of my favorite bars of all time. Sunday Sip Time is the best. The staff is awesome, food is great and all the wonderful German Village folks make it that much better! You’ll never have a bad time at the Hey Hey!

  • 4/5 Patrick H. 1 year ago on Google
    They were busy however I was ignored for quite awhile before getting any help or acknowledgement. food was great and it wasn't hard to find parking at all. Overall it's a cute little bar that I would definitely recommend.ill definitely have to try the saurkrsuballs next Time.

    If you're craving Two Fatt Indians food truck but it's too cold out there, y'all, meet us at the Hey Hey for samosas, curry, and saag. It's sooo good, and the Hey Hey is your neighborhood old school bar from way back, all the way back to when it was a speakeasy. We love it!

  • 5/5 Nik 2 years ago on Google
    The saurkraut balls are legit. Seems like a fun, relaxing corner bar with plenty of regulars and space to spread out. The patio looks super cool.

  • 1/5 jenise b. 10 months ago on Google
    A friend and I came to grab a bite. When we walked in, nobody greeted us so we didn’t know if we should wait or seat ourselves. We ended up seating ourselves and after a few more minutes passed we decided to leave. Maybe this establishment isn’t minority (black) friendly.

  • 5/5 Sam S. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful bar, food is a little pricey but outstanding Indian food starting around 5pm. Great place to relax and have a conversation with one of the friendly locals!!!

  • 3/5 Tonya P. 1 year ago on Google
    Alot of people seemed really happy to be there. But it was listed as an Irish pub on Google. Traveling from out of town and getting there. It did not resemble an Irish pub at all. The atmosphere was very hipster and lighting was very bright. Not for me. But our bartender was very attentive.

  • 5/5 Doug H. 10 months ago on Google
    Stopped in by chance because the restaurant we went to was packed. Was delighted with what we found. Food was hot and delicious and the vibe was amazing.

  • 5/5 William Hanna (. 7 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places great staff, food, drinks, pretty much every aspect of the place is really enjoyable highly recommend rather you are visiting or have never been very historical family owned since established You won't be disappointed just go already what are you waiting for Also best patio in the city hands down feels like you're in your backyard

  • 5/5 katie p. 6 months ago on Google
    Love Tim and Susan! Great Bar with good people. Stop in for some fun! ❤️😘.

  • 2/5 Allen K. 4 months ago on Google
    I ordered a beer, paid for it, and waited about 10 minutes before the bartender asked what I was waiting for. I understand they can forgot at busy times, but the place was empty. To make it worse, he tried to charge me for it again. I’ve been here before and never had issues so hopefully it was just a one-off problem.

  • 5/5 Alex C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best bars in the city. It has a large patio, plenty of seating, and great prices. Great staff and service. I've been coming here for years a highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Amber G. 1 year ago on Google
    A great dive bar! The bartender Marissa is super attentive and has great customer service! I definitely will visit again and recommend for a local experience.

  • 5/5 Garrett (. 1 year ago on Google
    The bar so nice they named it twice! Been around since the prohibition, homey with plenty of seating. A neigbrihood bar with lots of character. The back room offers more of a relaxing, quieter feel if you're looking to get work done or talk to a group of people. Bartenders are great, very large selection or drafts, bottles and liquor.

  • 5/5 Bill C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a neighborhood staple! This is the kind of place that helped in creating The South End. I enjoy going in and seeing my neighbors and enjoying this life together. The staff is GREAT! If you are in the German Village area, stop by and grab a drink. Also recommend the sauerkraut balls!

  • 5/5 eric h. 1 year ago on Google
    Great neighborhood place. Fun, friendly atmosphere. Excellent staff. Above average selection of brews plus the usual liquors, cocktails, jello and pudding shots. The sauerkraut balls are a must try!

  • 5/5 Abby H. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite spots in German village! Full bar with good prices and great staff! I love the outdoor seating area with plenty of tables and chairs, games and a tiki bar!

  • 5/5 Roiserad C. 3 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend the MINI BEER, which is a sweet and fun shot to drink. It's made with the Spanish Liquor 43 with a bit of heavy cream on top to imitate beer foam. SAUERKRAUT BALLS classic or jalapeno are a pass, but would be okay for general bar food. GERMAN POTATO SALAD, a bacon-y addition to the menu is a nice side item.

  • 5/5 Joe H. 2 years ago on Google
    This used to a dive, and I loved it for that. It’s now a pubescent dive. It still has a great vibe, but, the menu is solid. Beer prices aren’t great, a buck high in my opinion.

  • 1/5 Anna G. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited their food tent at Oktoberfest in Cincinnati. Long story short, I waited about 45-60 minutes for my food. Why? Their system is designed to get people to leave after they pay. You pay at one line, then get a a plate and stand in a different line to get your food. After I paid, they apparently had to then cook all the food because the line just stopped moving. Unethical and inefficient.

  • 2/5 Keli S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great! The chef is definitely on point! My compliments to the chef!! Service was disgraceful. I waited so long to get my order in that I waited more than 90min my fried fish dinner. I sure hope my tip went to the cook and not the servers. I won't be returning

  • 5/5 TTwo H. 2 years ago on Google
    Always love going here. You just never know who you might run in to there. Had a great time. Keep up the great atmosphere and service.

  • 3/5 Ty M. 3 years ago on Google
    I went here pretty late, and it was great that it was open later than all other bars in the area. It was very clean. There was a solid craft beer selection and more liquor selection than you could ever want. They had keno and other lottery options. It is definitely somewhere to go late at night if there is nowhere else to go. Being one of the last bars open, I would have expected a more lively environment. The bartender was very sweet, efficient, and clearly knew how to do his job, however seemed worn down and exhausted. His job was exactly that, just a job. He had no knowledge of the craft beers or half of the liquors that he was serving, and no enthusiasm or pride in his job. NOT HIS FAULT of course!! The owners or managers definitely need to step up their game and make this a more enjoyable place for the bartenders(and therefore more enjoyable for the customers)

    Always a fun place to get a drink. And don't forget to order some sauerkraut balls!
