Best bar in Cbus! Amazing vibes, delicious food, cool staff. Stop in for a beer and a cheeseburger and you won't be disappointed. A true Columbus gem

Great neighborhood bar and grill. Came here with my adult son and husband. The bartenders are attentive and make great cocktails. The portabella soup is hands down one of my most favorite soups, ever!

Amazing burgers, and was shocked at how low the prices were! The atmosphere was great as well, felt like downtown New York or even a speakeasy with the rest of the area so quiet at night. Service was top notch too!

Great neighborhood bar in German Village! Not a trendy place at all but where a lot of cool people hang out to drink and eat and not really a dive bar but has old school atmosphere. Great place for happy hour to hang with friends after work. They have a few TVs around but not many. That way you can focus on your friends or make new friends. Great menu with a variety of foods to choose from. They also have decent pours, a few drafts and of course my PBR along with several other beers in cans and bottles. Parkin is available on street and it can be tricky. But the effort is worth it to checkout the CBus landmark. Stop in and have fun. Cheers.

Service is outstanding! Ambiance is cool, very old school, almost divish. And the food was somewhere between 'good' and 'delicious'. Started with the onion rings and Anchor Bar Shrimp. Both were very good, but the shrimp were outstanding. Cooked perfectly then bedded in the wing sauce made them wonderful. Had Joe's special, which needed some salt & pepper to jazz it up a bit, but after that it was very good as well. Started with an Old Fashioned. Although it was missing the cherry, it was otherwise very well done. One of the things I like best about this place is the service. We sat at a high top just off the bar (as there were no seats at the bar). During our stay, there were no less than 3 bartenders/servers that took care of our table. No waiting for 'your server' to return or be attentive enough to know you need something else.

Solid restaurant, pleasant experience. I had seen this place often. Heck, I drive past it a couple times a day, every day. But I assumed it was a bar. Then I heard they have the best burgers in Columbus. I made a point to stop in sometime when I had time to kill. Made it today. Street parking, which can be a pain in German village, but wasn't too bad. At one on a weekday it was about half full, but service was quick and friendly. The menu was very interesting. Lots of bar standards, plus some new stuff. The place has been here for about 70 years, but it is currently owned by the people that run Philco and some other places in town. Nothing fancy inside, just a well cleaned up old school bar. Pressed metal ceiling, bricks, a surprising amount of light and space. I got a burger, of course. Just a single, although I thought about a double. And some cheese curds because I have to get those. The curds were very soft and salty and seemed fresh, and were fried up nicely. Served with a mild mustard sauce. The burger was very good. A thin patty, perfectly cooked. On a good bun, with decent toppings. It's Ohio in the fall, so the tomato was not great. But a very good burger overall. However, best in town? We have some good burgers in town. And I prefer mine a little thicker. If you like very thin style, this will appeal to you and may be at the top of your list. I would put it in the top 10 maybe in town. Very good, but not stellar. But, with good food, an interesting menu, great service, and decent prices, it is well worth stopping in. It's handy near the village, cozy inside, and just a good experience all around.
