    Driving through downtown Columbus.. neon lights out of the corner of my eye I went here completely blind not knowing what I was going to eat or drink for the night. I wanted local and fresh beer. I got more than I could have ever imagined. My food and drink were the best I had on my experience to Indiana. I had the BEST pork tenderloin I've ever had in my LIFE... I'm from Iowa so I know pork tenderloin... but I was taken aghast by this sandwich. For me that doesn't happen often.. ill be telling the whole world about The Garage. With a great selection of food and beer .. I hope to be back someday. Until next time.. 🔥

    We like to go on Tuesday for Singo Bingo. It’s fun and they have a large draft beer special for $4.50. Candace is a great waitress. Very friendly and attentive.

    Had a not so good time. Food was good, but the service was not. For starters it took a while for anyone to walk over and greet us. We ordered our food and it came in a timely manner. Had to get our own silverware though. The lady waiting on us was more interested in eating her own food and talking with other workers. Her and another guy was laughing and having a good time by the food pick up window. He was even vaping back there. So after grabbing our own to-go box. We walked over to get our own check. Would recommend sitting at the bar. The bartender looked like he was doing a great job!

    Nope. Never again. Candace our server was prompt, friendly and very efficient! Burger was ok as was chips/salsa. I ordered pork filet and after one bite tasting odd, cut the whole thing in half. It was completely raw other than outside char. Figured things happen, and Candance easily took it away for a fresh meal. Instead of preparing a fresh piece of pork, they threw the two halves in a pan and sent back out. It was like rubber of course. A kitchen that uncaring that would serve raw pork and then not bother to give you a fresh meal? Nope, it was gross.

    It took a while for our food to come out, but it was good and it was hot when it did. Mickey was fantastic and the noise level was surprisingly low given the fact there was music playing. (You can use an app to select songs to play on the juke box.) Overall a very pleasant dining experience.

    Great pub. Sat outdoors and listened to live music, EKG. Had great service from Emma. Just had drinks but the food looked really tasty. The drinks were good - kudos to the bartender. Enjoyable relaxing time.

    First time visiting... Excellent service, food, and perfect entertainment by the band Tightrope! I wouldn't change a thing!

    We had great food and a great time recently at The Garage Pub and Grill ! It was Singo Bingo night and young ones (son and daughter in law)and old one (me) had so much fun. Firecracker chicken app was Wow! I had a delicious BBQ brisket sandwich. Great wine and drinks. Fabulous server who gave great recommendations. The Bingo was a good time. Great tunes and the crowd was singing! Singo Bingo makes for lots of fun for a Tuesday night!

    Outstanding hangout for beer, music, food,sports. Place is vibrant and hopping. Food portions are huge and yummy

  • 5/5 Talisa M. 8 months ago on Google
    We went to the garage with a large party last night. It was super busy during the block party. Tara, a server was at the block party with her son and saw how busy it was, so she stepped inside and started clearing off tables & running drinks. It’s always a pleasure to see Tara when we go because she’s always so on top of keeping the tables cleaned off, getting drinks and food out as timely as possible and interacting with everyone. She can usually be seen helping other customers that aren’t her own in her spare time.

    Food and service was not good at all. I didn't think nachos would be hard to make but waited over 25 mins for nachos and there was only 4 tables in the whole place. The nachos wasn't even worth eating after waiting that long.price is pretty expensive

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 7 months ago on Google
    We came in because we were craving a good burger and were not disappointed! The pub and bison burgers were excellent as well as the service!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 7 months ago on Google
    Could not have asked for better anything. Food great and service even better. 1000% don't go anywhere else. Fyi I'm traveling through

    Very good breaded tenderloin! Good service and a clean restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

  • 4/5 Rick R. 4 months ago on Google
    Nice place to grab a bite to eat. We had several appetizers (all were very good), and our party had several different mains from the tenderloin, to a burger, to wraps. Everyone said their food was good. I had the breaded tenderloin. It was very good larger than the bun (an absolute BPT requirement) and well seasoned and flavorful. It was just slightly dry. I sampled the onion rings and sweet potato fries, both of those were excellent. Top it off with a Blue Moon and all is good. Won't hesitate to go back if the group wants to, and I'd get the tenderloin again. Server was very friendly, but due to only two servers working and a restaurant full of guests, service was slow. Not a complaint, just an observation, she was hustling.

    Bar with good food and drinks. Live music occasionally. Had an Olympian drink and it was delish 😋. Had the Jalapeno - Mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and the dipping sauce was yummy. Hub and I both had a sandwich and fries and the food was great and the portions were good.

    First time eating at The Garage. Was there on a Saturday evening. It didn't really get busy until after we arrived. Our waitress showed up by saying, "sorry, but you are stuck with me." I thought she was being sarcastic, but it was a rough night for her. I asked her what food she recommended, and she immediately said the tenderloin, which I'm a big fan of tenderloins. After waiting over an hour for our food, in which she paid very little attention to us. The tenderloin was mediocre at best, a glorified pork fritter. Fries were OK. Had 2 beers, and both seemed like they were just poor in the cooler. Overall, not a good experience at all. Doubt I give it a second chance

    Drinks, service and atmosphere were great with live music but the food is a different story. EAT BEFORE YOU COME IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR BOWEL HEALTH

  • 3/5 philip j. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is over priced for the quality and how's it's prepared. Service was good and atmosphere was good.

  • 5/5 Chuck B. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this place. Great selection of bourbon, chopped steak is excellent and the bison burger is delicious. Great live music.

  • 4/5 arturo S. 11 months ago on Google
    Good food, reasonable prices $$ and good service! Didn't give them a 5 star cause they run-out of daily special...

  • 1/5 Paul W. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in to eat for anniversary. Waitress had to be told to come to the table. Brought our waters and asked if we needed a minute to order. We said yes, and then she never came back. We just left because of it. Will not return as this is the second attempt in a couple years without success here.

  • 3/5 Shannon W. 11 months ago on Google
    I'm only giving it 3 starts because the short dark haired bartender was the only one of the 3 bartenders who waited on us at the bar. The longhaired blonde guy bartender looked our way a few times, but didn't budge to wait on us at all. Thank you for being on the job last night (dark haired girl). Hopefully you didn't have to split tips.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little pub with a cool crowd in the heart of downtown Columbus. The food is standard pub fare and surprisingly good. The service was fast and friendly. Not a large selection of beer, but enough to have something to like. It turned out to be a Kareoke night for us, which enhanced the vibe. Will go again.

  • 5/5 Helen W. 2 years ago on Google
    Live music, drinks were great! Waitress recommended my friend try a Hairy Buffalo and she LOVED IT. I did a Moscow Mule. Fun spot!

  • 4/5 IndianaDoc 1 year ago on Google
    Great sandwiches and wraps, especially the firecracker shrimp and Reubens. The place really needs a makeover.

  • 5/5 Mike M. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw an evening band play. Wait staff kept up with the orders despite the amount of people there to enjoy the music. They did a terrific job good food and drink to top off the evening

  • 5/5 Ashley W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wait staff and bar tenders here are always friendly and awesome! Love weekend hangouts at The Garage and the live music is great too

  • 5/5 rudy f. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food & the band was great. Staff was very nice & friendly. Big time change from the other owners and staff. I will definitely be returning. The brisket burger is amazing! I definitely recommend it!

  • 1/5 Stefan 1 year ago on Google
    Just went in and sat down for 10 minutes waiting for a server to no avail. During that 10 minutes, I spotted multiple employees at the bar playing on their phones and laughing while not paying attention to the customers waiting on service. Used to be an awesome place.

  • 5/5 Jasmine O. 1 year ago on Google
    Their food and drinks are really good. My go to order is the brunch burger with fries and an Arnold Palmer. This is great place for indoor and outdoor seating. Tip: make sure you have your ID.
