If you are a Buckeye fan, this bar is for you during College Football Season! The Ohio State Alumni Club meets here for every game during the fall. Good food, beer and company! O-H! ????‍♂️

We had my husband's 50th birthday party here. It was simply fantastic. Kaylyn was the best waitress. She was very attentive and took care of everyone very efficiently. A total gem of an employee!

Nice roomy sports bar with pool tables and other games. Good music and not surprising fights on some nights. Beautiful bartenders and servers. Great assortment of beers on tap. Food is salty and mundane.

Pretty fun night out. The beer was good and the waiter was very sweet and attentive. I got a burger and fries and my hubby got the wings. We both thought they were pretty good. I would come back probably for a football game. As well, to play pool.

update:
The company management contacted me to return and have a meal on them. We returned and it was a very different experience. The staff was much friendlier and attentive right from the start. The food was also much better (but oddly inconsistent with preparation on our first visit, not sure which was one was correct). The window garage door was not opened this time, thankfully, as it was still warm outside and people were again smoking. The manager is very nice and was sure to make our visit perfect. I really appreciated the offer to make our visit right.

Previous review:
This was a pretty mediocre experience that ending on an even lower note. When we arrived the “hostesses” were overly occupied with their phones, and were highly annoyed they had to tell us it was open seating. After trying to sit at two tables only to discover they were filthy we found our table. The dining area was essentially empty. Our waitress arrived like 5 minutes later and she was pleasant enough but she did rub us the wrong way with a subtle attitude. We ordered two appetizers, and she ran off to get them. They did arrived quickly. The Brussels sprouts were a surprisingly small dish, but tasted okay. The pretzel bites were pretty generic and blah. We ordered our main entrees which also arrived relatively quickly. They were just okay as well- we substituted brussels for a side and that was easily twice as large as the appetizer. This is when things went downhill. Some idiot (employee) decided to open the window-garage door. Not only was it 95 outside but there was a group of people outside smoking, and guess what, that smoke came right inside. Disgusting. One couple who had just arrived, immediately left. So we had to finish our meal in the heat with cigarette smoke. Unpleasant. Aren’t there laws about smoking near buildings? Especially when it’s going INSIDE that building? We quickly got our check and left. Will not return.
