Porch Growler

Love PG! They are under new management with some awesome changes like cocktails! Known for their beer and whiskey list. They have darts and board games. Tuesday Trivia Wednesday Bingo.

We arrived early on a Saturday for some day drinking. The bartender was super friendly. I had a beer flight and was happy they had Kentucky Bourbon Ale. I later asked for the Bourbon & Cherry Cola that I saw on their wall menu and it was actually from a can. Not bad in a glass with ice.Not far from home and we shall return. They do have food trucks, karaoke, and trivia nights.They have board games for the patrons as well.

As mentioned in other reviews there are 60 beers on tap plus a pretty good bourbon selection. Lively atmosphere and packed for a Fri happy hour! No food but the pizza from down the street looked like, and smelled like some amazing Ohio "square" cut pizza!! Next time we will try it out!

Alex the bartender is the best! She exhibited excellent customer service. She chatted with us and gave us time to think and she offered us some suggestions. We will be repeat customers for sure.

I am a huge fan of beer, it's possibly one of my favorite things. (Don't tell my wife though... just kidding, she loves beer too!) And Porch Growler is a great place to get a pint or to get a growler filled. With the number of taps here they are able to have numerous options and styles. Pricing on beer here is reasonable as is the fill price on growlers. The staff at Porch Growler are quite friendly and will sample things for you if you see something that you might want but are unsure. They even have the beer priced to taster glass size if you're wanting to have more than a sample but aren't into committing to a full pour. I also really like that they have their draft menu on Untappd so that I can see what's new before I head into the shop. It is also super quick to scroll down the list in Untappd to see what beers are new to me.Porch Growler is right next to CVS, which means when prescriptions are picked up... so is some beer. It's also right next to Pet People which I love. I means that not only can I stop when I'm getting treats or kibbles but that I can bring the dog with me when the weather is nice because Porch Growler's patio is pet friendly! Dudley LOVES drinking with his humans! Bonus: We recently invested in a super fancy CO2 pressurized growler, basically it keeps your beer pressurized so that it remains in nearly the same state it is in inside the keg. Porch Growler will fill this growler which is wonderful as some other growler shops in the Columbus area will ONLY fill their branded growlers.

The Porch Growler was more than a pleasant surprise. Starting with a very important piece - Parking. There is a very ample parking lot in the rear with signs posted stating the PG along with two others on the block have reserved parking privileges. Good Stuff! The building/room is deep. Long, somewhat narrow but ample seating in front and a nice 10 - 12 seat bar. Porch Growler services hard cider, a long list of ales and beers along with bourbons aplenty. Small groups can reserve a back room to have fun on their own. Pinball wizards welcome as there is a pinball machine there. Service is walk-about, where you go to the bar to refill. No service on the floor (that I could notice). Prices are solid and there is/are happy hours. The Porch Growler is recommended by this YELP* player. Go things in this smallish block of retail.

Over 60 beers on tap?! You had me at 60. They also have bourbon tasting with 30+ different kinds. My hubby and I love beer so it was a no brainer to check them out.There's an indoor and outdoor patio. Seating is limited due to Covid restrictions. On nice weather days, if you have a dog with you they're permitted on the patio. Good selection of IPA's and sours. Although If you like sours like me, OH sours are very different from a Midwest or east coast sour. Most OH sours use the same bacteria used for making kombucha. Dont know what to get? There's something for everyone. Most beers are out of Ohio but they have choices from everywhere. They have friendly & knowledgeable staff!They don't sell food there but they do have a partnership with the pizzeria across the street--Pizza Primo which is delicious! The bartender can add the pizza to your tab and the pizzeria will bring it right over.

Beer is good and it is a fun little place. No food but you can order pizza from across the street!

Great selections. Seating areas fits four comfortably. Buds from work have this establishment at the top of our list when we're done for the day.

The Porch Growler is a great spot! So many beers on tap, friendly bartenders, and a great place to hang. They have some board games, a nice small little patio spot, tv's around, bottled beers to buy, and you can obviously get growler fills from the bar as well. If you can't find a beer you like here, you must not like beer. Their menu is organized with ease of browsing based on what type of beer you are looking for or wanting to try. Lots of local brews as well as some not so local brews. I have never had a problem finding a beer here, more like trying to narrow down which ones I want to try on that specific trip. I have been here a couple times more recently and suggested it more often as I have met up with friends for a beer or an after work drink or just to go hang there with the wife. Just an overall cool spot with all you could ask for. They even have like a side mini room with some pinball as well. Definitely stop by the Porch Growler and grab a beer and hang out or get a growler to go. Or hey, why not do both!
