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 👌

When I’ve bartended for 4 years and am ignored by the two bartenders who look like they’re 15 while they’re serving people whom look very underage! They completely ignored me and my wife and when I asked to be served I got ignored even more!! Walked out without being served, do not recommend visiting! Horrible under age service!! Perception is reality!! Work on who you hire 🙄

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!

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!

Charged me $20 for a single draft beer, tipped themselves, never gave me a receipt to sign off, and didn’t show the price while I was checking out. The bartenders are rude and shameless, they’ll take advantage over you and give themselves tips with your card. Please don’t get scammed like I did and go to a better bar.
