Bodega

After a change of plans, I decided to go for a late brunch at Bodega in Columbus, Ohio. Other establishments I was interested in had stopped serving brunch, but Bodega had great reviews, was within walking distance from my location, and the food was highly recommended. Upon arriving, I sat at the bar. While I didn't catch the name of the bartender, I appreciated his attentiveness and excellent service. I ordered the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed the texture of the waffle--it was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dish came with about four chicken tenders, and I found the portion size to be very good for the price. Overall, I'm really glad I was able to visit Bodega and would definitely recommend it for a satisfying brunch experience.

I knew bodega had food, but never thought to try it. While craving wings on a Wednesday, I saw they had a special. We decided to go try them as they were half off. We started with an app of brisket queso. Super good! I love the brisket from Bristol (which this had) so I knew it'd be tasty. When we were looking at apps, our waitress had let us know a list of things they were out of. This was kind of disappointing as we wanted to try a side salad, and the cheddar puffs, which they didn't have either. The wings were great. We did buffalo and then maple chipotle on the side since we didn't know if we'd like it. It was very good. Overall - I will definitely be back and would love to try some of their other specials.

This was a pretty good place. We came in here prior to going to the Chelsea match at OSU, so it was pretty lively. I was a tad disappointed to find out that they were only serving the brunch which I kind of kid it but that menu was a lot more limited. The dinner menu had a lot more options for sure. I was with a group so I didn't have much of a choice. I'm not just much a bunch fan. I had a veggie omelette with some breakfast potatoes. It was fine, nothing amazing. Kind of what I expected for the type of omelette I got. The potatoes were really good. The service was good. It was really busy in there the whole time but I had no issues. I liked the large beer selection. I went for a Guinness which I was a tad surprised to see that they had it.

Me and my friend went here to catch up for drinks and dinner - Bodega is a great place for times like that. I've been coming to Bodega since college, I always enjoyed ambiance and service there which is always goooood. We ordered two appetizers to split - Brisket Queso & Crispy Chicken Wings (w/BBQ Sauce). Both were so good, the queso had brisket from their sister location at Bristol Republic, had great smoky flavor. The BBQ wings were really good, super solid! I would definitely return here whenever I get the chance. Their draft list is supreme, they have options for everyone! I've never had a bad experience here!

I was visiting during happy hour on 1/2 off wing Wednesday with friends. I ordered a peach cider and spicy garlic cauliflower "wings". For $2 off draft and 1/2 wings, my meal was $12 total and a steal!!! What a wonderful location, environment and location! It was loud and crowded, even until 8/9 PM since they have a extended happy hour menu but so worth it if you get off work late!! Can't wait to come back for their happy hours!

Updating to include my review of the tacos I had there recently! Loved the $3 taco Tuesday special. I got 2 tacos and chips and guac for $10.The jackfruit was pretty good but wasn't my favorite flavor profile. Loved the Carnitas though! I think next time I will skip the chips and guac because the guac was a little plain. Still a pretty legit meal for only $10.

We just stopped in for some drinks at their Speakeasy "hidden" inside the restaurant. Fantastic cocktails with a really cool vibe!

I was in Columbus for a concert and this restaurant was so unassuming, but delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. Young, queer friendly space with the nicest server. I wish I could remember her name to give her a shout-out, but she had wonderful recommendations. She suggested a cider that I loved.

The bartender Alan was amazing! Super quick and made great cocktails! I asked him questions about a few classics, and he was incredibly informative and made the perfect cocktail for me. Additionally, Nyla the server was composed while handing 8-10 tables in the restaurant alone, which is not an easy feat. Superb hospitality and staff!

Visited Apartment B which is the speakeasy hidden in the back. Love the vibe in there and Nick and Vince made great cocktails. Will definitely return!
