Probably the best dive bar in all of Columbus! The drinks are as cheap as the law allows, the atmosphere is always friendly, and the service is one of a kind. Never mind the smell when you walk in, that's just the alcohol gods letting you know you're in for a treat!

This bar is by far best on campus. While EVERY bouncer here has helped girls out, I specifically want to mention the bartenders Spencer and Devon. As soon as an issue occurred and it was mentioned to them, they handled it ON THE SPOT! If you are looking for a great environment with great workers, come here!

Great place to go before an Ohio State game! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The owners- Larry, Quinn, and Matt were extremely welcoming and made us feel like we were really special! We especially loved our bartender Megan. Fantastic atmosphere, with a band playing in the front and a DJ on the back patio!

This place is legit cute on the inside! Based off the vibes of the area I thought it would be kinda gross in there but it's super clean, and the bartender girl is really nice and helpful. There's a dartboard and a pool table for entertainment, and their selection of drinks is good, they have multiple types of Bacardi …
