The Forge Tavern

They are the best. The owners are so always trying to make the place the best it could be.The drinks are fun and change often. They have the best mead list in Columbus if not Ohio.The game selections are good. And the food is exactly what you'd like it be! (Would love wings but I know wings and board games are a bad combo) If you come to Columbus you should definitely check this place out.

Fun spot! Looks much smaller on the outside than inside. The decor is really cool and the game selection was great- food was nothing super special but hit the spot while we were playing games, drinks were good. Very large mead selection. Will be stopping by again!

Can't believe I've never been! Maybe because they don't open until later and I work next do, so no happy hour. But it was suggested by a friend who knows I love games, but I was blown away by the atmosphere when I walked it. First off, it was packed! And the decor was great, lots of big tables, but also cozy corners and a large bar. Plenty of games, though not as big a selection as other game bars, but lots of basic games and card games, you'll find something. They have a huge drink menu, I appreciated the mead list, I did a flight a really loved it. It's tough to find a good selection of mead, and it wasn't a crazy price. Some cocktails that weren't a bad price either; and a good draft list. I didn't have food, but heard great things about it. Talked to several people sitting at the bar, servers and the owner who answered all my questions and were really helpful. Will definitely be back.

Hi, I live here now.But seriously, this place is great. Super friendly service, GREAT food, a wide selection of drinks, both beer/cider and cocktails, and a really nice selection of games. The tables are big (because boardgames) and have comfortable seats, and they seem to have room in the back for events or larger groups. We stayed for quite a while, and there seemed to be quite a few regulars who were greeted warmly, but the bartender was welcoming to everyone. I can see this becoming a new group hangout spot in town.I highly recommend the pizza. Good even when warmed in a microwave the next day.The place is a little hard to find the first time - it's right next to the Marathon gas station, on the left side of the building at the back of the parking lot. When you see the knight statue, you know you're in the right place.

No parking. Forge staff says to park at La Casita/in the back. La Casita WILL TOW YOUR CAR if you park there or anywhere else in their lot. Until they can get their parking situation resolved with La Casita.. I guess I won't be going.

I've never been to this place and went with a large group for a game night. It's worth going to and the space is really big. The place has a TON of board and card games that you can play in any group size. The only thing that I wish I knew before going, which is a new thing that the people I went with didn't know about that have gone to this place for months, is that there is a "sitting fee". The sitting fee is that you have to spent a minimum of $10/person when there. It's not a big deal but caught a lot of people off guard. If you spend $10 or more on drinks or food it counts towards and can be used as the sitting fee. If you go with a group of 6+ people they also automatically add a 20% gratuity to everyone's bill.

This is my first time coming here and it was entertaining! The Forge has a large variety of board and card games to choose from; and the drinks are strong and tasty. I love that the decor makes it like a medieval gaming tavern and the staff is friendly. Overall, it was nice to see groups of various size groups come together for an evening of a simple, yet fun experience!

The staff were super friendly and our waitress gave good recommendations on drinks. Omg there's so many good options! My burger was so delicious, I had to take a break so I could savor it. This spot is great for game night with friends or with a significant other, lots of options for games. I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely be coming back!

Excellent chili and it's in almost everything on the menu. It's really good!! The crowd is mostly gamers and they do nothing to make non gamers welcome. Probably not a place to meet and mingle unless you know someone. The drink menu seems fun although the bang for the buck is not that good. Excellent selection of mead. Karaoke wasn't very good.

The coolest gaming tavern in Cbus. Great atmosphere, yummy food with vegetarian/vegan options, incredible drink choices, and creative and fun special events. Say "Hi" to Smithy for me! IYKYK ;)
