Power House Brewing Company's Columbus bar reminds me of the old neighborhood bars that my…read moregrandparents and later my Mom and Dad would frequent in Milwaukee. So when Gayle, Shauna, and I were looking for a place for Lunch (after listening to darling granddaughter play cello in her school's orchestra at the local high school), I immediately gravitated to the front door. The others were not so sure, but I managed to talk then into it. The interior is a bit dark (as expected) and relatively small, with tables on both side of the center bar. There's a couple TVs and at the time I enjoyed watching Iowa (Go Hawkeyes!) play in the NCAA Women's tournament. Service was friendly, albeit a little slow at times, but we had time and I enjoyed hanging out. And unlike Grandpa Rowan back then, no one was calling the bar asking my whereabouts. Unlike the Milwaukee of old, they weren't serving yellow beer, but rather really good craft brew. 2 of us went for Jack the Bum, while the other chose Diesel Oil Stout. I went full Midwest and ordered a Pork Tenderloin sandwich, which was huge and delicious. Gayle and Shauna enjoyed their beer and salads (BBQ Chicken and Salmon), starting out with Kraut Balls for the table. I'm not sure when I'll be back in Columbus Indiana, but Powerhouse is on my list.

Powerhouse Brewing is a place I had never heard of until their First Friday show. It's a building…read moreset back from the road behind a construction business, but don't be put off by the location. They had a couple beers on tap - the Love Nugget and the Pink Houses were the ones I tried. Love Nugget is a nice hoppy pale ale, and Pink Houses is a hibiscus wheat. The hibiscus flavor isn't too sweet or overwhelming, which I like. Combining the two makes a very tasty summer beverage. The guys that work at the brewery are friendly and will takl to you about the brewing process and the hops they have growing outside. Pints are $5, and they had a flatbread pizza truck out for the First Friday show. There's a small indoor tap room and a patio with limited seating, so bring a chair or something if you're going for music.

Would I recommend coming here for food? No. Would I recommend coming here for cheap drinks? Yes…read more My husband and I went here last night for dinner after going down to Columbus to watch our niece play her volleyball tournament. They were packed and had trivia going on, but they still had plenty of places to sit inside and on the small patio. We had wanted to sit outside since the weather was nice, so we grabbed a table in the corner on the patio (it is a seat yourself establishment). After a while, a server came over to get our drink orders and we each ordered a water. I asked for a Bud Light on draft, which was listed on their menu, but he told me they only have it bottles and just had Michelob Ultra on draft that was similar. No problem, we each ordered one of those. Some time passed and I saw our server come out onto the patio, look at us, and promptly spin around to go back inside. A couple minutes later he returned with our waters and an apology about the beers taking a long time because "the bartender was too busy talking." I got more of the impression that he forgot to put in our order at all, hence the quick turnaround to get waters when he realized he never came back to our table. We put in our food orders in the meantime- I ordered the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries and my husband ordered the roast beef sandwich with sweet potato fries. Drinks came out eventually and were huge/ice cold, which was nice. The food also came out within 10 minutes, which we had initially been happy about because we were so hungry and we still had an hour drive back to Indy. However, my Reuben sandwich had huge, thick chunks of meat vs thinly sliced beef and it was extremely hard to take bites of and took a long time to chew. I had to keep using my hands to rip pieces off the sandwich. There was also hardly any sauerkraut on it. My husband's roast beef sandwich had very little roast beef and absolutely no flavor, but was supposed to have a kick from the horseradish sauce. The sweet potato fries were good though, they just had a little too much salt on them. Overall, we had mixed reviews with our visit. Our beers were only $5.50 each, so that was a crazy good price. Not sure if it's just for trivia night or always like that. Several times throughout our visit we kept getting hit with the smell of cigarette smoke because the patio is off the main sidewalk and no one monitors that people are actually far enough away from the building. Super unpleasant. This is definitely a fun place to meet friends for drinks, but I'd pass on the sandwiches and see if other menu options are better.

We absolutely love this local watering hole. Good bar food, and great beer and cocktail selection…read more I particularly love the energy of the spot as it's always buzzing with a fun upbeat environment. There is no bad seat in the house, and the patio is fantastic. Service has always been very helpful and friendly. Even the first time we went we felt as if we have been coming for years. Can't wait to come back Awesome trivia and karaoke here as well!

This place is great. It is literally in the middle of farmland which is some nice scenery while…read moredriving there. The inside is large and welcoming. They also have an outdoor patio. Our server was wonderful. We were there at an off time and she was literally hostess, waitress and bartender. I had a strawberry lemonade that was delicious. My husband had the bourbon and cherry and is still talking about it. They had a lunch special - 10 inch pizza for &12 which is what I ordered. I got the hot honey sriracha jalapeño chicken pizza and asked them to go light on the sriracha . It was delicious and filling. I took half home for lunch the next day. My husband was very happy with his veggie pizza. Definitely a place to check out. They have their own beers and also have a wine tasting area.

Back in New York, many farms are turning to breweries as their new source of income. But they…read moredon't have wineries and distilleries attached to their brewery! I went with beer. And just the normal, run of the mill beer. None of that fruity, hazy stuff. The ones I got were good. Damn good. I wish I had a designated driver so I could have tasted their Whisky Flight. I did buy some of their Ready to Drink cocktails for the hotel. I always judge a place by the likelihood I would return. If this weren't 13 hours away, the answer would be a resounding yes.
