Great service, locals, wide beer selection and tasty burger. It's what I call "real Columbus"

This is the first time we tried this place. We were a big group from work that stopped in this place for dinner. They have great drinks and food options. Customer service was amazing. The two people who were helping us with our orders were just wonderful. I feel sad that we didn't catch their names. The place itself was average loud with good light from outside sunlight. We were there for more than 3 hours and it was fun. They have few vegetarian options too. Their salad and homemade ranch was delicious. They have outdoor seating and a bar available. I am not sure if they do carryout or not. This place is business casual and family friendly.

Columbus bar was a locals joint. Low lighting, pub decor, a little beat up in all the right ways. If you're a single dude or trying to out-hipster your hipster first date you'll appreciate the vibe. The interior is intriguing with high, stamped-metal ceilings, a big bar and giant mirrors. Our food was Very fried and heavy. If you are looking for something greasy to soak up a few brews then this is your spot. I ordered a burger on a pretzel bun (homemade!) and while the pretzel and burger were delicious I wish I had ordered it separately. The burger, heavy pretzel, beer cheese combo was too much. But again, if you're looking for a cheat day meal, look no further! My boyfriend ordered the tenderloin and it was enormous. The bun looked tiny compared to how big the tenderloin was. Again, he said it was a little too fried. Next time I go I'll try the cinnamon pretzels- there's no such thing as too sweet, right?

Really sad how gross this place has gotten over the past 5-10 years. CB used to have great food. Everything I have gotten recently was not what it used to be. Saw the cook touching all the finished food with his bare hands too. The bar is old. It's always had that feel and look which used to be okay because it was clean. The smell of stale beer now overcomes you when you walk in. The place is absolutely filthy these days.I'll go in every once in a while for a craft beer, that's the only thing keeping the place alive in my opinion. If you are downtown Columbus, I would for sure look for another place to dine. Signed, A patron who has been coming into the CB for 20+ years

Great local bar with great food. Popped in for a quick drink and their sauerkraut balls. I was so hungry and couldn't wait for them I forgot to take a photo. Friendly staff and owner.

For many years Columbus Bar was THE place to go for the best tenderloin sandwich around. Sadly, the kitchen staff began pouring an enormous amount of cracked black peppercorn into the breading mix and last night's sandwich was hardly edible. I paid extra to upgrade my side to onion rings and got a measly 5 rings, all of which were overcooked. Three of them\ were burned and had been buried under the sandwich where they couldn't be seen when delivered. What a shame. Downtown Columbus now has many new and enticing eateries which is where we'll head from here on in.

Great battered fish whether it's the platter or the sandwich. Two filets are enough for a normal human being. Very solid beer selection. Usually around 20 taps of good craft beer. Domestics available in bottles.

The CB was my favorite place for lunch. Loved the grilled tenderloin with extra pickles.
