    Great Bar, but don't come on Tuesday when Jen works. Never in my life or my 8 years of bartending have I ever met a more miserable, bitter, woman. Owner needs to 86 this old bitty.

    Megan the bartender is awesome. The beer is so cold you should just order two off the get go because the first one is going down quick. 🤣 This is basically a home town bar. It has that off the beating path bar feel. The group was very happy I found it. We are all happy to of had the chance to stop in.

    Highly recommend this place. I travel for work and was in the area. Great place to enjoy a beer. Good atmosphere. The bartenders were very nice. If you are from out of town and want a nice local place to go this is the place to go to.

    Such a solid spot. Even during the pandemic.dive bar with a good vibe. Went on on Wednesday and the bartenders Eric & Jackie took care of us. Will 100% come back again.

    After getting a first hand experience with the staffs distain for mixology lol. I've learned to keep it simple and don't ask for random cocktails. If I'm being honest, I think if the owner and staff were taken on an all inclusive vacation for holding it down for the community. They would return with vigor and passion that would warrant another 2 stars. They are not bad people by any means, quite the opposite. They are very smart, genuine, interesting , hard working, down to earth people. I get the sense they are warn out and just need a break that doesn't break the bank.

    Cold beer at a reasonable price....really what's not to like!

    Beck tavern is a classic in Columbus. One of the best dive bars with a good selection of beer on tap and darts. They had a free TV's too so you can catch whatever game is on.

    Beck Tavern is the perfect laid-back dive bar in a beautiful, sleepy neighborhood. If you like darts, touch tunes, good company and old booths you're definitely going to like this place.

    So I had 3 drinks here..the bartender constantly told me no girls would like me and then cut me off. What a joke... Sadly I still tipped 40%. I will advise anyone to avoid. I had to listen to the bartender insult customers. But 3 drinks and cut me off telling me no one would like my looks? Fire this ahole. Period.

    Love the bar - favorite dive in Columbus area. Owners absolutely need to get rid of Jen the bartender. Awful, nasty human. How has she not been fired yet? Will continue to lose business if she sticks around

    Pretty good dive bar in German Village. Friendly staff and guests. We just had beers.

  • 5/5 Liz L. 2 years ago on Google
    One hundred stars. Best dart boards around!

  • 5/5 Kars P. 11 months ago on Google
    Nothing fancy, but has everything you need. Good drinks, great prices, incredible bartenders, plus darts to keep you busy.

  • 5/5 Tonya P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is such a cool spot to have a few drinks, shoot darts and unwind!!

  • 1/5 Kevin M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the most unprofessional bar I have ever visited. I am never coming back again and I suggest that other people do the same.

  • 5/5 Heather C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beck Tavern was a great time! We will definitely be back! The darts were so fun and we loved the atmosphere.

  • 1/5 Ryan T. 2 years ago on Google
    Mask obsessed. I was cursed at and physically threatened over it. Don't come here if you expect to be left alone.

  • 1/5 Taylor D. 1 year ago on Google
    The bartender wouldn’t let me and my husband get a drink bc our baby was 4mo old (we were in the area) 😂 21 and up!

  • 5/5 Allen K. 3 years ago on Google
    Great, cozy bar in the heart of German Village.

  • 5/5 Rigo G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great local spot for drinks and hanging out. Very clean, staff is great

  • 5/5 Rachel D. 5 years ago on Google
    The bartender guy was super friendly. Gave us good information on places to see around town. Cheap beer. Great place to hang. If I lived here I would totally hang out there more often.

    Was looking for a place to grab a quick drink with a friend, and randomly stopped in here. I forgot to get the bartenders names, but there was an older lady, and tall guy who looked like he was doing some serious multi-tasking both providing excellent service to my friend and me at the bar. I liked the seat yourself service, and even though I didn't have time to try the food, I heard good things from the fellow patrons. I'll certainly stop in again someday.

  • 5/5 Emily R. 5 years ago on Google
    I always have a great time when I go there. Great service, darts, and a golf game for those who want to play. Reasonably priced and is on my list of places to visit again when I am in town. I also like the selection of music played at Becks. You also have the opportunity to use the digital juke box.

    although the atmosphere of the bar is great and the female weekend bartender is fantastic… the attitude of the male bartender at the tavern is a dark shadow on the friendly atmosphere. He has no problem serving women who are visibly drunk but is openly rude to men who haven’t even been served yet. He has a disdain for questions and a negatively territorial attitude towards his bar that seems to entitle him to rude and distasteful reactions and responses to customers looking to have a calm, good time in the bar. Go to becks tavern… but definitely avoid him.
