My Bar 161

If you're a Chicago Bears fan, this bar is for you. If you're not, double check the NFL schedule and visit anyway. They have fun giveaways and an enthusiastic crowd during games.Any drink you order costs from $2-5 and they offer a mug club--$20 for the mug that includes a free beer, then $5 for every refill forever. Mostly domestics and a couple local IPAs.All food is between $5-10, with the Italian sub being $5 and absolutely massive. You get your money's worth and beyond here. Can't wait to visit again.

My Bar 161 is a strip mall sports bar. I hate the sound of that so it made me leery of this. The location isn't that bad. It's the fact that it's in a strip mall. That doesn't exactly equal atmosphere. I thought to give it a try. It's located by a constantly changing restaurant and a seedy carryout. The atmosphere was like a dive bar with laid back regulars. It wasn't sterile as it might have expected to be. They aren't just a bar but also serve food. It's amazing but people have seemed to like it. The beer selection is okay. It's mostly the whatever light. They do have a few local brands. I would think about coming to My Bar 161 again, and then come to my senses. It's not that awful but it's not what you would call hipster. The regulars are an interesting, scary bunch.

I have read mixed reviews of this establishment so I must be clear I HAVE ONLY ORDER FOOD FROM AMAZON NOW!!! I ordered a Stromboli with mushrooms, banana pepper, pepperoni and sausage. This was one of the most amazing Stromboli I have had in Columbus, OH. The visual was EXACTLY as it was on their menu (when do you ever get that!). It smelled so amazing, my friend who does not eat pork was so pressured he needed to leave.The crust was a crispy outer layer with a soft cEnter dough. The taste.... oh the taste .... The veggies had a fresh crunch yet tenderness that gave the texture of fresh vegetables from the garden. The dipping sauce (2 serving cups )were a great balance of sweet tomatoes and spice, combined with herbal essence. Do you know what real Italian sauce is without just burying flavor in garlic?? So... try it! I know you hear me... or is that you (reading aloud?)

Outstanding! I don't know what the other lady was talking about when she says the regulars here are scary, they all seemed pretty down to earth and friendly to me. I really don't love sports bars, because I don't follow sports, but I really like this place. The bartenders know what they're doing and the pizza is delicious. Laid back, easy going, fun little joint!

In April 2016, my wife was assaulted at My Bar by an obviously over-served patron. The guest was so intoxicated that he shoved me into my wife, who fell off her bar stool and suffered a concussion when her head plummeted to the concrete floor. I already asked for assistance from the bartender to intervene prior to this event, but he refused.When I and the Columbus prosecutor's office went to seek the video of the incident, we were informed the tapes of the night (and, actually, the entire year) were "accidentally" erased. The bartenders refused to cooperate with the prosecutor's office and the case was unfortunately closed. We were left with $7K in medical bills, and Chris Hale, the owner (whom we considered as a family friend for several years) refused any responsibility of the event on behalf of his business interests.The bar is now up for sale. As a regular, I can attest that the Hales stopped caring about this establishment after opening Hale's Ales in Hilliard aa it shows in the bar food and staff. After years of patronizing this establishment, we will never, ever, return. I advise anyone that values their safety, number one, and a decent bar experience, number two, to avoid this place as much as possible.

Great environment....great service! We came for Wednesday trivia night with coworkers! The owners visited our table several times and the bartenders were very friendly! The Stromboli was amazing! We will definitely come back for the new lunch special!

I stumbled upon this place & couldn't have had a better experience. The bartender Tiffany was so attentive & accommodating. Also ran into the owners Tiffany & Paul. They were the nicest people ever. I was just looking for a drink & found a family. Thank you so much!

This place is a hidden Gem. It's very roomy inside, has flat screens all around the bar and plenty of projectors to show any amount of games you might want to watch. Inside is nicely decorated and the employees are always nice.They also have a fairly nice (but small) heated smoking patio.Here is what I don't understand about this place, I've been there twice on weeknights now... and both times it was almost completely empty. I haven't been able to put my finger on it. The prices are fair for the area, the atmosphere is nicer than some of the hole in the wall's in the area. It's not as commercial as franchised places like BW3's, but a similar feel.I think with some good advertising, maybe some team sponsorship deals, and concentrating on getting repeat customers, this place could be a really good spot.

As a world traveler and a connoisseur Stromboli I feel compelled to share my experience at this Mecca of Boli. From the shores of the Amalfi coast to the cross roads of 161 an sawmill its like Nazzareno Romano himself has laid his hands and knowledge upon this slice of Italy on the outskirts of Dublin Ohio. Sophia who could be a distant relative of Romano himself hand tossed the dough, adding the freshest mozzarella and farm grown sausage into a A purely delectable dough. To say my mouth was watering would be a understatement. As my taste buds danced with delight I was reminded of the old Italian word Squisito!!! Cold beer and great food makes for a wonderful and delightful experience!!! .

The owner is the fucking best!!!! Service is great, chill nice relaxed vibe, highly recommend 10/10
