Howl at the Moon Columbus

From the bouncer to the bartender, everyone here is very friendly which is a major green flag. There is plenty of seating inside and outside, along with corn hole outside. Their happy hour deals are pretty good (half off apps, some drinks less than $5), but the quality is about what you'd expect for that price. Nothing spectacular. My party ordered more appetizers than pictured, and they didn't make us feel sick per se, but we didn't feel good afterward. (We drank very little and didn't stuff ourselves, so I think it's the food itself.)Additionally, the performers are not great. I won't say the day I went because I would never want to insult individuals putting themselves out there like that, but the establishment doesn't seem selective on who they hire. I think they did a great job connecting with the crowd inside, but the singing itself is okay. It would have been a lot more enjoyable and probably about the same quality if karaoke were an option. Additionally, at least outside, the speakers are right beside the tables, so the music is LOUD. To the point my whole party had to yell the whole time to hear each other and my ears rang afterward.

Extremely rude bar manager, wish I got his name so I could share it here. Do not waste your money on this establishment, there are several more worthwhile bars right on the same block.

I attended two events here for a conference I was attending so this is a review of an event specifically. The drinks were free for attendees. That's important to note for reviews. This place is quite big with an upstairs. There's a live band, and I think it's a big karaoke hit on other nights. I certainly heard it from my hotel on the weekend! The bartenders are incredible. There were hundreds of us and they just ebbed and flowed all night to our needs. There was a food set up for both events and the food was pretty tasty. One night it was hummus and snacks, and the other was a taco bar. At one of the events I went to they had a photographer who told me he partners with them for many events. I'm going to find him on Yelp and review his fabulous service also. Overall, this is a good spot to have a happy hour event for conferences. No bells, no whistles, but a fun time and great service.

Very disappointed, we travel all over for work and visit the piano bars in the towns that have them. The musicians are very talented, they just do not work the crowd well. There was no waitress staff, the table seating was ok but I am short and at any given time there was atleast 20people standing in front of me. It was temperature hot in there, the bathrooms were not tended to. What you get in return for the $$$ spent was not worth it. Musicians should visit other piano bars and get some ideas.

Great live music, nice bartenders, clean space, great experience! Didn't try the food but it looked good lol

Came here Saturday night to start out our girlfriends Bachelorette party extravaganza. From the bartenders, to the band, to the security staff- everyone was friendly and amazing. Drinks were great and the atmosphere was poppin. A special shout-out to one of the bouncers Callie for taking care of us and showing us the ropes the whole night. Also to the manager Dean who was super friendly and attentive. And also to Nina who was absolutely amazing!

I'm unfortunately not very impressed with this bar. :-(I attended a friends happy hour party and while that made everything a great deal, once the live music started for the night we wanted to leave. The playlist of hits prior to the live music was great and it matched the mood well and the volume was loud but not so loud you couldn't hear people next to you. When the band started we were literally yelling to hear each other from across the bar. While I understand live music is louder, this wasn't a concert or a club and could have been toned down quite a bit. Additionally, the band also wasn't maybe the best ever, so that combined with it being incredibly loud was not good at all. The sex on the moon drink was good and again, with the happy hour things were an awesome price. The mozzarella sticks were not great either unfortunately. Overall, probably won't go back when there's a live band there at the very least.

Great live music and good drinks. The bartenders were very nice. Only down side was the kitchen was closed

PERFECT. Not homophobic (like brothers and gaswerks. Those bars are homophobic). Howl at the moon has good deals on drinks. I love them.

I recently had a regrettable experience with Howl at the Moon. After making a purchase, I discovered unauthorized extra charges on my credit card. Despite my attempts to resolve the issue by reaching out through phone calls and emails, the establishment has been unresponsive.This lack of communication is not only frustrating but also raises concerns about the integrity of their customer service. As a customer, I expect transparency and prompt resolution when faced with such issues, yet Howl at the Moon has failed to meet these basic expectations.l urge potential customers to exercise caution when dealing with this establishment, as my experience has left me dissatisfied and concerned about the way they handle customer concerns. It's essential for businesses to prioritize transparency and customer satisfaction, qualities that seem to be lacking in my unfortunate interaction.
