    Waiting for a table because they don't want to pay for staff. Restaurants over half empty. More people waiting then are seated.

    This location is a convenient meeting point. The restaurant isn't very clean. The service is pretty good. Our waitress was Emma and she was very attentive. The food however is not the best. I had the Tipsy Zombie($6), the Happy Hour Boneless Wings($6), and the Loaded Waffle Fries ($8.49). The drink was the only thing that taste good.

    Came in waited over an hour for our food. Manager was told and never came back to verify we got our food. Staff standing around ignoring customers. I will never come back again!

    The measly discount after our horrible experience....

    Tonight myself and my adult kids went for dinner. I arrived early and ordered appetizers so they would be ready when they arrived. They arrived 10 minutes later and still no apps..another 15 and still no apps , but then here comes our entrees to the table skipping apps and salads. I'm like quite upset at this point. Manager comes over and blames new fry cook...She still trying to leave the entrees. She gave me attitude and was quite unprofessional when l suggested she take back the entrees and go help the new cook catch up. Also when most places take a miltarydiscou t they discount the entire meal , not just one entree.... l am an ACF Certified Chef and former restuarant manager and was disgusted by this horrible experience .. l will not be back to this location.. ever...

    Another dime a dozen theme eatery with gimmicky names for their entrées which taste like they all came out of bag.

And Little Palace down the street are both closing due to high rent. Apparently 16- bit is robbing patrons blind to stay open? This makes me so sad bc I really loved coming here. I can't justify returning after this. It's a total rip off. And the shots were so small to boot. Down the street we got a shot of the same Tequila and two beers for wayyyy cheaper and they poured a normal size shot. Not a sip of a shot. Also, they charge an "entertainment fee" Isn't it enough you charge astronomical prices for drinks? Gotta take that little bit more from the customer? Makes me really sad.

    I absolutely loved this place and idea. Apparently, this is a thing in a lot of cities. I used to…read morefrequent arcades as a kid and I sincerely miss them sooooo very much. As an adult, it is leveled up with a bar serving booze! We were only spending one night in Colombus and unfortunately we arrived late in the evening. It was not too late though and we still had a couple of hours to have fun until they closed. We walked there from our hotel and it seemed like it was pretty dead on the streets, maybe because it is a business area as opposed to residential. We walked in and were able to grab some seats at the bar. Funny enough, there was someone checking ID's upon entering. I have not been asked to show ID in a very long time and of course once you pass 30, it feels like a compliment lol. It was quiet inside with music playing. There was only about 10 other people there enjoying drinks at the bar. We were greeted quickly and offered drink menus. I think I only ordered the Bombay & Lime slushy but I might have tried another drink. The slushy was really good. I think hubs stuck to beer. We ordered our first round and sat at the bar for a little to take in the scene. We inquired about playing the arcade games and were informed the games are free to play, as long as you are ordering drinks. Yessssss! My favorite arcade game is Galaga so I had to find that one first. I was so happy they had it! Hubs and I played against each other a couple of times and then we walked around to observe the other games. We stopped and played a couple different arcades and then returned to the bar. It was late when we arrived so we unfortunately did not get to spend too much time here. The bartender and patrons were awesome. The bartender actually had to cut someone off because he was started getting annoying. Other than that, everyone was cool. The place was clean and looked well kept. I don't think there were any arcade games out of order, which is an amazing plus. I definitely recommend this place and if we ever find ourselves in downtown Columbus again, we will be here!

    Went to Yogi's on a Tuesday night, and they were slammed due to an ad-hoc trivia night. Seating was…read moredifficult to find, but eventually my wife and I were able to find two bar seats where we could see first hand what an efficient front-of-the-house operation they have. The bar tenders, bar runners and wait staff were moving 80 miles per hour to serve their customers. Unfortunately, the back-of-the-house kitchen struggled to meet the demands of the public's apparently ravenous appetites. Our chicken nachos order took over an hour to arrive. (For what's it's worth, they tasted good when we eventually got them, but we starving to the point that we considered nearby White Castle and Taco Bell as appealing alternatives, so our judgement in that state was perhaps compromised.) The saving grace in that scenario was our bartender Leah who was doing the MOST (in a good way) on an injured knee. She communicated well with us and comped some of our items due to the excessive wait - a most appreciated gesture. On less crowded/themed evenings, there's an abundance of TVs and food/drink specials for your sports viewing pleasure.

    Man are there a ton of big screen TVs in this place! always a great game or match to watch. Super…read morefriendly staff always quick to greet you on arrival. It does get busy on weekend late afternoon & nights, but I have rarely found seating to be an issue even at those times. Great variety of well prepared food, well stocked bar with some good premium selections available. This is not just any sports bar, they do kick it up a notch. The food is prepared quickly even when the place is busy and is well presented at the table. Staff are attentive and my experience has been that they regularly check back to "see how you're doing." There is a private room available for reservation, which does come with some minimum requirements - check those out online or with staff on site.

She seated us by a window and was attentive and engaging the entire time. We were going to order the calamari as an appetizer again because it left such an impression on our first visit, but it was no longer listed on the menu, which made us sad until we saw the fancy fried cheese and ordered that instead. The hubby also wanted the jumbo shrimp and fries, just like last time, and luckily for him it was still available. I almost ordered the Kansas City burger again but wanted to mix it up so I chose the Brentwood Chicken sandwich, fried, with a Caesar salad. The salad and cheese came right out and were so delicious! The pesto dipping sauce for the cheese was amazing and we practically licked the container so we didn't leave any morsels. My salad was amazing too; the lettuce was fresh, the croutons were just crunchy enough and it had the perfect amount of dressing on it. My hubby once again thoroughly enjoyed his shrimp, but I had some regrets with the chicken sandwich. It was very tough and hard to eat. I ate half and then took it home for later. Upon a reheating, it was tender and delicious! Overall, very successful second visit to Houlihan's. We will be back for the lovely servers, the delicious food and the cozy, dark booths.
