Derive Brewing

My wife and I love coming to Derive. They have great beer and the food is always really well made and delicious. They have great specials as well. Wednesday is half off burger day - and their smash burgers are killer! The wings here are amazing as well - easily some of the best in Columbus.The staff here are always very friendly and quick to bring another round.They have several TVs so it's a fantastic place to watch a game.Located next to Lucky's supermarket, there is a nice little patio area. Last time we were there we sat at the bar though. Inside is very cozy and they always play an interesting mix of music. Overall, Derive is just a nice neighborhood brewpub that always offers an enjoyable experience.

Good food, good drink selection, knowledgeable wait staff. Quirky establishment, put plenty of parking.

Went to Derive tonight for dinner and a couple beers. Great atmosphere tonight - more than half full and warm and inviting. Good variety on the beer menu with several interesting looking collabs. I had a flight of mostkynIPAs and they were varied and good. Had the cauliflower wings with sabauce, an Indian sauce. The wings were crisp and the sauce was really good! Also had the Detive smashburger. Very tasty and fresh. Service was super attentive on a fairly busy night.

My favorite brewery in Columbus!Why? The vibe is extremely friendly and the brewer(s) are extremely technically competent.It's very rare that you get both of these things simultaneously. You do get the friendly, gregarious brewers that make beer that is...fine. And then you've got the low emotional intelligence brewers that are brewing wizards.The folks that run this place are both.How do I know? I talked to them for hours on end at the bar. Even though I was an obnoxious homebrewer, they treated me like an equal. Felt great, man.As far as their beer: everything is good. There speciality is definitely Hazy IPA though. If you want to taste a FRESH, UN-OXIDIZED Hazy for the first time, this is the place!

Tiny update: tried the chicken tikka pizza today. Instead of pizza sauce I think they use tikka marsala,,, cheese, chicken herbs spices amd jalapeños. Its quite good. As usual service was top notch. Would of stayed longer but a group of rude parents brought their young children in tow. Kids are fine but not when they are screeching. They deposited their kids at a table, completely unsupervised and they were screeching loudly, non stop at an adult absent table. Cuz... well, I guess mamma needs a break. Well everyone who was NOT with them had a look of pure pain each time the kids screeched. Lol. And, tbo--That group of people sucked the zen right out of the air and we couldn't leave fast enough, lol. Thought a brewery would be somewhat screech free. Poor bartenders. I bet they wished they could leave too. HA!

This little spot is pumping out some of the best beers in the city. Not to mention the best cauliflower wings I have ever had. I've been lucky enough to visit this place on two different occasions. The menu keeps a great rotation of fantastic brews and the cooler has a great selection of 4 packs you can go. Staff is super friendly. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Don't be fooled by its location. It's tucked into a corner area of strip center. I had the Derive burger-very good! My colleague had the impossible burger & he raved about it as well. The menu on Yelp is not accurate so check out their website. Great selection of craft beers & very friendly staff.

Ohio Pepperoni pizza is amazing along with the beers, burgers, wings and of course their beers. Service is always amazing in a small Clintonville brewery. Stop in and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Came here with a friend for dinner. They were having a special of buy a pint and get 1/2 off their standard burger. We both ordered the burger special and I added a wedge salad. The wedge came out early and was huge. Was plenty to share so I cut in half. I don't like bleu cheese dressing so I ordered ranch but did expect bleu cheese crumbles and it didn't have any so that was disappointing. Nonetheless I would order again and I loved. The burger. Wow. It was so good. It was crispy on the edges and salty. Everything I wanted a smash burger to be. Our service was unusual but not bad. I loved the atmosphere

My first experience having Derive was blindly picking up a hazy IPA crowler of theirs at Savor Growl a few years ago. I remember liking the beer, and I was hoping for good things when I chose to visit on a recent Saturday night. Without a doubt, the place delivered. Easy parking in their lot led to easy seating at that bar for the Mrs and me. She went the cocktail route, but I was there for the beer. I had their 'Friends' flight of four beers influenced by hops from different regions. All four were on point. Definitely recommend. The menu was more robust than you would expect from a brewery, and the Thanksgiving Poutine and Loaded Fries were some of the tastiest bar carbs I've had in a while. Both were full of flavors without being too sloppy. Another pleasant surprise was the decor. Cool chandeliers, sports on TV and even a fire pit for your outdoor consumption. Derive is far from your average brewery.
