Food was OK, there was a hair on my plate. I didn’t send my food back but overall couldn’t enjoy my dinner. It was VERY loud in the front where we were sitting. Service was decent.

Great food and fun. The real star was our server Joe. I left my phone at the restaurant and Joe went above and beyond to make sure I got it. Joe is amazing, thank you!

The short rib sliders is one of my favorite meals in Columbus. staff is very friendly, and it’s a great spot before a show downtown.

Very fun bar with upscale pub food. We were seated at large table, with plenty of room for our large party. The food was good, with nice vegan and vegetarian options. It is noisy, though!
