First & foremost, Daily Bar may have THE best French 75 in Columbus! It's perfectly balanced & being able to control the sweetness of the drink to your liking with the rock candy is fantastic! I'm a sucker for their spritz's in the summer (tons of options); and you can never go wrong with an espresso martini (they even have them in shot form)!!

This place is tucked into a corner and is so cute on the inside, perfect for all occasions. This time, we sat at the bar and were greeted very warmly. In fact, the bar tender was very kind and attentive the whole time. The main thing that made us pick this place though was the food that was offered for happy hour. I LOVE mussels, so when I saw that they were discounted as well as pizzas, we had to stop in and try them. The food was absolutely delicious. The mussels were fresh and the meatball was really flavorful. I recommended getting the truffle pizza. It was so unique and delicious.

My friend was obviously shaken up and when we asked the owner about it. We were met with aggressiveness and a lack of empathy regarding the matter. There was no genuine apology offered when the situation was witnessed. And when we asked to speak with her she approached us with irritation. And let us know she's not sure what else she wants us to do because she already comped her drinks. When I proceeded to ask if she was okay with said behavior from this man, she aggressively responded and continued to show a lack patience or empathy. She was very aware of the matter because her bartender requested for something to be comped, but failed to acknowledge the concern as a business owner directly to her customers. As if we didn't experience something personally violating and traumatic, while she was only a few feet away. And also was seen engaging with said man; prior to allegedly requesting them to leave. I'm deeply disappointed in my experience and I would not recommend any business here.

That be what it may, I do like to socialize and be around interestin people. Since the kindly folks of the Cheyenne and Lakota tribes taught me the value of cultural diversity, I now enjoy just about every ones company. I like this waterin hole cuz you can find all kinds of fasinatin and different types of folks there. The grub is nice and fancy too. I like that. So when you got the urge to water your horses, this is a fine place to tie up.

I had the Clockwork Orange cocktail that had coconut on the rim, with the Burrata starter. Perfection. I asked Derek about the Farmer's Salad and the Green Goddess Salad. One is more fruity and the other is green with peas. Both sounded delicious. I chose the Farmer's with added salmon. I'll get the Goddess next time. I added a glass of the House Red, which is a light Cab. I loved my meal and my visit. It's very pretty and the service was excellent. Can't wait to return.
