Rambling House Soda Pop

Had a fun time being here. We were seeing Lui and never been here before. They have a bar that serves all kinds of drinks, but all we got was water. Good sound from the speakers and friendly staff.

This is one of the most unique and surprising places I have been to in Columbus. So pleasantly surprised! I have actually passed this place a million times and vowed I would never go here because it looks a bit sketchy on the outside, especially in the daytime. It transforms at night, people milling about outside, friendly light and door open welcoming you in. The service was prompt and very friendly, bouncer was nice and the music was awesome! My roommate and I got some signature drinks with soda that they make in house. It sounds strange but the gin and lemon-lime soda combo was good! Holy crap, the band we heard was amazing. It was a cover band I forgot the name of playing bluegrass music. Disclosure: I think bluegrass is ok, this band was just so good. We found out after the fact that the lead singer was only 17, but he had a deep raspy voice of a 35 year old. Impressed with the band, the bar and my drink. Will be back for more fun here! Check this hole in the wall out, you'll be more impressed than you think!

I don't know why it took so long for me to get here.I managed to arrive with no cover, and they had a three-piece set (bass, guitar, violin) with an occasional person jumping on the mic with them. Perfect volume level, and not a "oh god I should've worn earplugs or there is not a good place to listen or a place to go have a quiet conversation."Basically - it creates a great date atmosphere. Loud enough you can ignore your date if they suck, but not so loud you can converse. And good drinks so you can forget about the bad date (or kick the good date up a notch).I'm not going to repeat the other reviews going over the basics other than - yes, they make their own sodas, blah blah blah - but more importantly:- I had the reckless mule and the... something with whiskey and their sarsparilla.Both drinks were delicious, and it maintains a pretty intimate "up close" stage (which is awesome, but there was some drunk girl yelling the entire time - we get it, your friends probably call you 'the funny one' and you're just fuckin' hilarious - but shut it. If you're not on stage, no one wants to hear how funny you think it is to yell "play free bird!")I dig this place. I will return for more Sarsaparilla and whiskey.

I came to Rambling House after hearing all the raves about their homemade soda. It also has alcoholic beverages including craft beers, hard cider, and wine. There's live music on weekends, usually seems to be bluegrass. It resembles a saloon with barrels for tables. The bar is intimate yet it's not too cramped. I heard about the sodas but thought it was all they had. It also has a menu of alcoholic beverages. The beer and cocktail list is not big but everything that I've tried all have been good. A favorite was the house made ginger beer. The hard cider was crisp, had a sour tingle, and the right amount of sweetness. It also have some good cocktails. The Relentless Mule is like a Moscow mule but with bourbon. I still have to have a soda. The best soda is the sarsaparilla. Some other good ones are the blueberry and the cola. These are $2.50 which is not outrageous. The seating area is small but not crowded if there's not a show. It has a few tables in the front and barrels in front of the stage. If you come for the shows there's a cover of usually $5. The other thing is that its parking lot is near the old school the next block. I recommend coming before shows if you have to avoid the crowds. In the middle of the week it's pretty nice. The weekends aren't too crazy though and you can see some great live music.

Ok so this was a very pleasant surprise for me, I felt good vibes as soon as I walked in the door. I'll tell you right now this spot is a true gem. I was greeted by what must have been the nicest people in the world, the owner & his wife. The place is pretty classy, awesome local beer selection, home made soda pop, mixed drinks, great atmosphere, wonderful blue grass music, nice people. They even had the Tato Heads truck outside taking orders and bringing it in for you.

Very unique establishment! An intimate setting for listening to talented bands and enjoying delicious cocktails and local craft beers. Rambling house pours a generous and strong drink-just the way I like it when drinks are about $7 (great value).A variety of all ages head to this venue. Cover charge is usually $5, which is ridiculously cheap considering the talent that plays at this venue. On saturday night, we caught Hebdo playing. A combination of moody blues, bob dylan, the doors and neil young all wrapped up into an extremely talented band that also played their own songs with incredible vocals.If youre looking for some great live music, welcoming staff and patrons, in a unique atmosphere. Check this place out. Cbus is really fortunate to have this place.

Unique, eclectic, hipster place. We "yelped" country music bars and ended up here. Very happy with the experience. Great music, great service, great vibe, great prices. Put this on your list!

I've had my eye on Rambling House ever since I heard they make their own root beer, just never had a chance to stop in. Well, last night I had my chance. Parking is awful; they suggest parking at the school nearby. But that was the biggest downside I saw, and of course that's not their fault.I expected a crowd of hipsters, but found neither crowds nor hipsters. They were just opening up, and the owners (I assume) were super friendly and helpful. There is a serving bar, and lots of tables leading to a little stage. Decor is relaxed and homey, maybe a little like a saloon with the piano behind the bar, etc. It would be a great place to hear music. I was there for the root beer, though. Which turned out to be more of a sarsaparilla, and that's what they call it. A little sweet, a little minty, a little rooty. Heavy carbonation, light color like a lager, a nice balance that would be perfect for a hot summer afternoon. Think of it as a substitute for lemonade, or that crappy light beer you don't want anyway.They also had ginger beer, which tastes almost like the ginger ale I've made from fresh ginger. Very refreshing. Also "Columbus Cola," clear and with mild cola flavor. Those three are standards; they also had a cranberry cola from the rotating menu, which was a sort of citrus spritzer. Again, very refreshing. They sell all these in glasses or to-go cups, or they'll fill your growler. It's also available on tap at Weiland's, I hear.They'll put these in cocktails, and they have good beers too. I couldn't partake at the time, but it's a nice setup and it would be fun to hang out with the drink of your choice and relax.It's great to have locally made drinks, made from scratch by people doing what they love. They're just celebrating their first anniversary, and seem to be doing well. They deserve it.

Intimate setting and an awesome sound system! Drinks were really good as well! Highly recommend!

We took our five year old to his first "concert"/live music here a few months back and it was so much fun. We saw a rainbow, ate yummy food truck food, and drank ginger ale. Nothing was too stuffy or judgmental about it - everyone was there to have a good time and share their music.
