    MY FAVORITE BAR!!!!!!!!! If you like dive bars & having a good time you have to go here! Cheap drinks, great vibes, dart boards, & fantastic bartenders, what more could you ask for?!

    It's a very friendly German Village High end Dive bar, and I mean that in the most respectful way. It's clean, friendly, good selection, steel tip darts cool local upscale Nieghbor hood tavern. If you need a drink without any BullSht have a 2 Hearted draught and talk to your Nieghbor kind of place. My fav kind of place.

    Beck Tavern is the darkest and dingiest of the dive bars in Columbus. It's so dark that you should think about bringing a flashlight. This place has not changed much over the years. It's gotten some new TVs but not much else. There's always a bunch of regulars who are having a good time. It of course is located on Beck. Not to be confused with High Beck Tavern, which is upscale compared to here. The inside is filled with old wood paneling. It's kind of hard to see anything. They keep it so dark inside. Maybe you don't want to see the inside better. The bar seems pretty clean though. It has some old musty smells but it's not horrible. This bar is right in the middle of German Village. It gives you a great idea about what to drink. Luckily they have those cool Jager machines. I love getting me some bombs. It's about $4.50 per bomb at happy hour. They also have many beers on tap. A popular activity is darts. They also have a fantastic jukebox. It kind of feels out of place where it's at. It's in a really good neighborhood. This is better than the renovated Sycamore which is now overpriced.

    I was rocking $6 yueling pitchers all night! Who's going to complain about that. The bar is comfy dive and was crowded by not packed on a Friday. Bartender was super nice and friendly. Def a bar to visit if your in the area.

    Low beck is a hole-in-the-wall bar that looks rough on the outside, but packs a great atmosphere on the inside!

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!

They also have a table of games at the front that you can play. My food was so good except my buffalo wings tasted like they could've been bbq. I got a hint of sweet, I'm not sure if it was the Buffalo sauce they use or they wound up giving me the wrong sauce. The waiters and servers were all very friendly. I came again another twice more for to-go salads and they made sure to put my protein in a separate container to not wilt my lettuce. Wish I was a local so I could eat at Barleys more often!

Service was great with plenty of drink refills for a thirsty bunch. Food wise... the deep fried pierogis were soooooo good. They asked if we wanted a seasoning and tried the cajun dry rub and wow, that went so good with these things. I also ordered the cajun chicken pasta which was also excellent. It came with garlic bread (one of the main reasons I ordered it) and that was delicious too. With great food and great service, I'd go back for sure. I didn't get a beer as it was a work lunch, but I bet beer is good too.
