Bob's Bar

My husband loves this place. It your good old fashion back in the day kinda bar. Good beer and nice selection of bourbon says my husband. I even played darts. Go check it out !!

If you want to go to a fun, local, dive bar....you found it. The girls stopped after a long day of shopping and if they had food, we would have stayed a lot longer. It reminds me of Cheers (if you are old enough to know that show) where everyone knows your name. We stopped for one cold drink and stayed for several. We made friends with some of the other patrons who taught us how to play Keno. Or maybe I should say How to lose at Keno!! We had a great time and would definitely go back if I'm ever up in Columbus. The only down side is the parking- but we were lucky enough to park right at the door!!

A friend and I stopped in after a nearby fitness class because our favorite place Local Cantina is closed on Mondays. I had heard it's a good neighborhood bar so we gave it a try. Apparently most of the parking spots in front are designated for the other businesses in that strip. We parked on the side street.It was not busy. There were a few people at the bar, and a few smokers on the patio. There are also some picnic tables in front of that area. Our bartender was great and we chatted about cocktails he then made for us. He also brought us waters. He said we could take our drinks out the to picnic area when we asked. Cool bar, and we will go back!

So lucky to have this gem right up the street--but also well worth making a trip for! First of all, the staff in this place are just the best. They have great memories, or they have a book behind the bar with all of their regulars in it (if it's the second one, I don't want to know). They've got a great selection of drafts and bottles, and good liquor options if beer's not your thing. They're friendly and attentive without hovering, make great recommendations, and seem like they really like what they do! It's everything I want in a great neighborhood bar. They also have pool, darts, and a jukebox, if any of those things are up your alley. It also looks like they've expanded into their parking lot to provide some additional outdoor space, which I really appreciate!

I only stopped by here to get a drink after work. This bar only has like 5 parking spots and one entrance. It's a very local bar from the patrons to the bartenders to the vibe itself. It feels... great. From the Monday and Wednesday evenings I came in here if was quiet and had actually good music playing. Punk, rock, indie and blue grass. There's this big old bartender that has a beard that sticks out from his mask that made me feel very welcome, automatically knowing it was my first time here. The bar has a golf game by the front that people play and watch. 1 pool table i haven't seen used but as I'm looking around now I need to give credit to their beer selection!Even in covid times this bar didn't lose its charm. Highly recommend just to sit at a bar that no one knows you but treats you like you've been there your whole life.

Gotta be one of my favorite dive bars in the city. I always run into people I know whenever I drop in. The parking situation however is horrendous with only a couple of spaces in the lot, you often have to park deep back in the neighborhood behind. Pros: excellent beer choices Darts and pool Fun crowd Helpful staff Cons: crowded Small parking lot

Denied service from the bartender since I had a service dog. Was told the owner Chris would deny service to anyone who had a dog even if it was a service dog unless we sat on the patio on a 30 degree night. Service dog and I went down the street to O'reillys pub where we got good service.

When I asked some locals where is the go-to bar in Columbus...Separately and unanimously was told go to Bob's. Really unassuming place with a fantastic beer selection. In a strip mall- I wasn't even sure if they were open and it most certainly doesn't even look like a bar from the outside. Staff was very nice. The perfect kinda dive bar. Definite dive bar feel but high quality service and beer behind it.This is why I always ask locals where to go.

Found this place shortly after moving to Ohio and fell in love! The drinks are wonderful always, the bartenders amazing and the other patrons are always fun and friendly. We will gladly continue to come here!

Best place in Columbus to get a beer. Great selection, good variety, great bartenders, always a good vibe.
