The vibes here are great. Loved their take on an expresso martini. The reuben egg rolls were lackluster. Next I come here I'll get one of their burgers or sandwiches. Our server was fantastic and really friendly. Would love to come back.

Lamb Sliders- what's left before I remembered to take a photo! Soooo good!!
Kayla A.

Great service, ambience and food. The lamb sliders were AMAZING! Bison Burger was different but still savory. Tomato Soup and Wings were very tasty too. Definitely a good spot to try when in the area!

Lamb Sliders
Megan M.

Yelp for the win! So many good choices we didn't know where to start so we just chanced our luck and walked in to this one (#1 recommended for me). We were seated right away (Friday night before game day - ). The service was phenomenal. She asked us if we'd ever been there and when we said no she asked if we wanted recommendations. She was so attentive and even asked us why we were in Columbus. We ordered fun cocktails and wine and couldn't decide on food so ordered all the recommendations and split everything. Food was all good but in order of best to good - 1) Lobster Mac and Cheese, 2) Market Burger, 3) Lamb Sliders (this was my favorite but I love all the things on it and many might not), 4) Amish Chicken. Only thing we wished is the Amish Chicken came with lettuce, tomato, onion - just more. The restaurant was a dark, slightly too warm, obviously "more adult" vibe. Perfect for us but sharing in case you are looking for a college experience - this is not it. Highly recommend though! Great experience.

I want to start by commending the exceptional service provided by Dane. She was wonderful, and her recommendations truly enhanced my meal. Based on her suggestions, I ordered the Southern Spring Rolls and the Loaded Brussels sprouts with feta and cranberries; both were phenomenal, especially the dipping sauces she provided for the rolls. My main course, the Arch City Burger, was cooked to perfection on a nicely toasted bun, and the Caesar salad I ordered as a starter was fresh and crisp although dressing was average not my preference. To finish, both the Night Shift martini and complimentary tiramisu were delicious. While I had an overall excellent experience and plan to return soon, I did want to provide some constructive feedback regarding the beverages here. I was disappointed that bottled water was unavailable. Additionally, I found the $17+ price point for pre-batched cocktails to be quite high, as I generally prefer a freshly made drink. However, I was very pleased that Dane was able to accommodate my request for a fresh Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned instead. Thank you again for a lovely lunch and pass my compliments along to Dane for her outstanding hospitality!

Bratwurst Corn Dogs
Rhonda L.

We had our young and cool nephew and his girlfriend in town for a visit, so we decided to take them to the Short North for dinner. Arch City Tavern was PERFECT. So many creative things on the menu, and the ambiance was great. We ended up getting two starters--the brat corn dogs and the loaded Brussels--and I couldn't have been happier with our selections. Both were creative, delicious, and definitely worth ordering! Our server Aly was informative, personable, and made the evening just that much better!

Nashville Fried chicken Sandwich

Arch City is a Short North staple! It has such an inviting atmosphere and it's perfect for every occasion. Whenever someone from out of town visits, this is one of the stops you need to take them to! The service is awesome and they have great weekday specials! Arch City has some of the best shareables and starters around, with the classic Brussels sprouts or French onion soup, to their southwestern spring rolls or specials like their Irish nachos! Their sliders and burgers are always phenomenal and all of their sandwiches will leave you happy and full! Go on and stop by!

Amish Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Vanessa H.

Mom/Son belated Mother's Day date at the Columbus Museum of Art, then lunch following at Arch City. First time here. We started with the Lobster Mac & Cheese Shareable. To die for! My son got the Market Burger with Truffle Fries. I got the Amish Chicken Sandwich. But the name is deceiving. It's basically a Caprese Chicken Sandwich ("Amish"- cuz it's where the chicken's family is from)- SO DELICIOUS! And a side of the Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ goat cheese & cranberries! Meghan was an excellent server with a smiling personality! We will definitely be back! And soon!

Pulled Pork Breakfast Skillet- has potatoes, big slices of onions, big slices of peppers.
Ashley O.

It was good! The bar has a dark kind of vibe, we got brunch on Saturday- got the pulled pork breakfast skillet without avocado and chives. Me and my friend ordered very similar- service was good, prices were good. It was a nice place to try while we were in the area!

Salmon Sandwich
Dajawon Y.

I stopped by Arch City Tavern and the service was great quick, attentive, and friendly, which really stood out. It was early so there weren't a lot of people inside which helped cause I was on a lunch break but nice inside and cozy. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. I ordered the salmon sandwich and a Caesar salad. The salad was okay; they put a generous amount of dressing, which I actually liked, but the croutons were burnt, so it threw off the overall flavor. The salmon sandwich was the biggest disappointment it had barely any aioli, wasn't seasoned at all, and ended up tasting like nothing. It looked great, but the flavor just didn't match the presentation. Overall, I'd come back for the service, but I'd probably try something else on the menu next time.

Bison Burger with truffle fries, Lobster Mac & Cheese and Brussels Sprouts
Rose B.

I'm from Indianapolis, and my boyfriend found this spot because he was craving lobster mac n' cheese. We dined here for Valentine's Day, we loved the atmosphere and thought the decorations were adorable. For such a relaxed vibe, the food was top notch. Even though the food was great, it wouldn't have been a five star review without our server. Dana is legitimately the best server I've ever had in my life. Tentative without being annoying, knowledgeable without trying too hard to sell, and just all around so kind and vibrant. She is the best!

Reuben rolls
Nadeane H.

The food is meh Here. I had the Reuben egg rolls. They were flavorless and barely had any filling. But they were fried well - crispy. The wings are very spicy. The Caesar salad was good. The service was not attentive. Our waitress kept disappearing and we waited for drink refills and to bring our check. The ambiance is typical bar - kinda dark. But they do have windows that completely open to the outside sidewalk.

Perfect spot for beer and food
Jennifer V.

Kate was amazing! Her recos were spot on (lamb sliders and Amish chicken sandwich with loaded brussel sprouts). She kept the delicious beers coming, she checked in just the right amount of time so we didn't feel rushed but felt cared for. We had a prime spot so we appreciated how we were serviced. Ask for Kate, listen to her recos and enjoy!

Meatballs
Jasmine T.

Great ambience here! Everyone seemes relaxed, as if they come here often. I came during happy hour and got a cocktail and some meatballs. The drink was good but the meatballs were just okay, they could've used some more salt. I also took the Nashville chicken sandwich to go and it was just okay well, it had no particular flavor but the portion was huge. It had a really thick chicken breast and the fries were good.

We both got the jerk chicken entree as there were not too many choices for the entree for restaurant week. The others were a pork dish, which we could not have and a vegetarian dish. For my app, I got the brussel sprouts and my husband got the summer salad for his. The brussel sprout dish was huge, we both shared and had plenty of leftover to have with the entree. I would get it again as they were crispy and delicious. My husband said his salad was refreshing. The jerk chicken dish was really good. The chicken was cooled very nicely and the jerk spices were not overpowering. I do have one complaint though, the dish was dry. There needed to be an element to tie it all together. The rice and tostadas were dry, so we were happy the brussel sprouts were left to add a little bit of moisture. For dessert, I got the jalapeño cheesecake which was really good. It offered the perfect kick and was a new concept to me. My husband did not like the mousse, there was an overpowering liqour taste to it. I would like to go over there to try the duck dish sometime.

I don't like carrots and I couldn't stop grabbing a piece Drinks: * The Sycamore Old Fashion... very strong, but I like strong drinks Cost: $33 w/o tip | $44 with tip (split between 2 people) * What we ordered: Sticky carrots Meze Scallops (not on happy hour menu) The Sycamore Old Fashion Italian 90 *Comes with complimentary bread. Also, gluten free options* Best for: Casual check in Low key date maybe if you work near German Village. Traffic during happy hour is a bit backed up I wouldn't go for solo dining, unless I sat outside during warmer weather. However, the feeling is best for a quick get together with 1-2 friends. Would I come back? ... Yes! Definitely for Happy Hour.
