Came in on a mildly busy Tuesday night and was served immediately by Carrie. Even though it was a stacked bar she handled her guest wit a great rotation. Her timing was great with everyone. Never on her phone like most Bartenders are. Attention to her guest was amazing. She was more than accommodating. And for that I will come back this service. Thank you for your time and effort. Also while she was making cocktails and shots, she never over did the mixing. Keeping the ingredients as pure as possible. read more

Cornerstone Pub - Dive Bars Near Me - Gahanna, Ohio

Here we go again. This place goes through cycles with their staff. They will get the right staff in there and it will be great. On the downslide, this place will hire the bartender that invites their younger college aged friends to hang out and will do shots with them. Ironically, nothing gets ringed up on the POS system and then suddenly my bill comes and I am overcharged by 4 beers. As I have stated before, there is a neighborhood across the street with customers that own $400k + homes that frequent that bar with money to spend. We don't mind sharing the space with the younger crowd because they bring a rejuvenated vibe; however when you overcharge me and my friends so that you and your friends can drink for free, I have a huge issue with that. This is my second review of this place and I welcome the owner to reach out to me personally. Reply to this comment to discuss. read more

Your average corner bar filled with locals. Honestly I would have rated it higher but every time I ordered something, they didn't have it. I can get you running out of a keg, but what midwestern bar doesn't serve PBR? This is a Browns bar and would probably be a blast to watch games in the fall if you're a fan. There is a ton of room with ample TV screens. If you're hungry, they're connected to Angie's pizza (but after reading their reviews, maybe bring your own food?) read more

Terrible service, but good pizza. Pissed off night bartenders ignore you unless you are part of their party posse. If you are lucky, and the circumstances are just right, and they aren't smoking on the back patio, and you are able to get their attention, your order will be dropped in front of you and they will run away as fast as they can - just in case you might need something else. Say "thank you" to them and they don't reply. I guess it's company policy. It's a lucky day when they talk to you. After their shift, the staff often sits at the bar and parties down with the customers. I guess free drinks make them happy, because they sure aren't happy when working. You have to continually request service because you won't get any in this place. People vape at the bar in case you have smoke issues. read more

This place is a great place for a first timer. The bartenders were warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is laid back. The place is clean, the drinks are fair priced, and the people are welcoming. We are used to 50 cent pool at our small town bar in northwest Ohio, so the $1.50 a game was steep for us, but understandable for a suburb of Columbus. Angie's pizza is connected. We ordered a large veggie and it was delish! Great place to spend and evening with our son and his gf for a visit. I highly recommend! read more

Great staff that went way out of the way to welcome us for our first visit there. We went here because they serve pizza from the pizza shop next door who doesn't have a dining room. They took our drink order and got our pizza order right away. Don't miss the pizza they get you from the shop next door as it's one of the best we have ever had read more

We went here to eat pizza from Ange's next door. They have a service window for the bar patrons. The bar has numerous televisions to watch and have a full bar. One of the employees came over and talked to us about the bar and welcomed us to come back anytime, which was a very nice gesture. Definitely felt appreciated. The pizza, which was reviewed under Ange's is absolutely delicious. Football fans can go here to watch Browns and they also show the Ohio State football games. Even if you aren't into drinking or watching football, go here for the food. It's great. read more

Wow.... my husband & most of our neighborhood frequent this establishment, it's never been my favorite, yet hard to resist when Carrie is working as she takes great care of us & provides excellent service, which is the ONLY reason I'm giving 2 stars. A group of 4 of us stopped in there last Saturday, it was close to last call, we sat for 10 minutes before being acknowledged (they were not overly busy). I saw a dark haired girl go behind the bar & watched where she went, as we were hoping to be served & figured she worked there. Well, she does, but apparently was off the clock & drunk as a monkey. She proceeded to be rude & belligerent yelling obscenities at me from the opposite end of the bar. When the bartender who was working decided to acknowledge us, he rudely said it was already last call then proceeded to serve another patron. As a result not only will we never again give them business, we have & will continue to share this experience with others. Another couple we did not know witnessed the series of events & they too left sharing this behavior was not uncommon from the employee & they were disgusted. Should you choose to stop by, go in on Thursday's & ask for Carrie, otherwise......stay away!!! read more

I came across this bar after meeting some people who were Gahanna born and raised. To my surprise, not only were there kids my age (21-25) but adults well into their sixties during our beloved "happy hour" time. Since this is off Hamilton road in the outskirts of Gahanna, still beware of the infamous Gahanna Police; they do an excellent job of patrolling all ends of Gahanna. Luckily, you will find parking at the front of the Silvertree Plaza and also parking at the in the rear. And yes, if you are a smoker and forgot your smokes, on the corner of the plaza a drive-thru is conveniently placed. Inside you will find three pool tables (free pool on Sundays), a jukebox, and a connected Ange 's pizza (AMAZING food). Menus for Ange's can be requested at the bar so you can drink and take some time to look over the nicely sized menu. On Fridays from 5pm-7pm free pizza provided by Ange's. Once I found this out, this was the meeting grounds amongst my group of friends! And since this is a review of a bar, time to discuss the drinks. Cornerstone is known for their "mini pitchers" which are $4.00 mini pitchers of beer. I am unsure of the exact amount (over 22oz I believe) but, I have yet to find a bar that can top the size and price of the pitchers. Careful though, if you arrive too late on Friday or Saturday you may be waiting for a fellow mini - pitcher drinker to leave before you can start to get your mini drink on. The bartenders are very friendly and most have been tending there for many years. The mixed drinks are how they should be (never skimpy) and prices are Typical. It's a very friendly atmosphere and on the weekends the owners do like to enjoy drinks and food of their own as well as mingling with customers. This is a bar that participates in local Gahanna bar crawls. One last thing...The bathrooms. Chalk graffiti is by far a very amusing and entertaining perk about the bathrooms at Cornerstone. Both the men and women's bathrooms are fully loaded with chalkboard stalls and walls so you may leave your mark. Excellent place to go with a group of friends during OSU game days, UFC fights (be sure to arrive extra early as it fills up quick) or just a place to meet for happy hour and some delicious food. This is the secret of Gahanna I share with non - locals :) read more

Good music selection. Pizza was ok as was service. Thursday night was pretty live. Nice

This is one of those bars that you need to know the secret handshake. It was obvious the bartender had her friends hanging out in there and a lot of free booze was given away. As an outsider and someone that doesn't frequent this place much, I certainly felt like I was intruding on someone else's turf. The service was atrocious. The bartender had her face buried in her phone or was doing shots with her group of friends. My glass sat empty for fifteen minutes and three times the bartender came over to the side of the bar I was sitting on (to make the free drinks she was giving away to her friends) and saw my empty glass. It wasn't until I called out to her that I was able to get a refill. The bar itself is really cool and has nice layout (plenty of TVs, TouchTunes jukebox, pool tables, food, etc.) My wife and I own a home literally less than two miles away so this is would be a place we would like to frequent more in the future. That, however, will not be the case with the current staff. Ironically, this bar came up in a conversation with some friends in the neighborhood and we all had the same opinion!!! Time to clean house read more

LOVE THIS PUB!!! Even though it is a little out of the way, as I live in Bexley, I always have a good time when I go! The drinks are good; the pizza is great! And their selection of music is top notch... a great mixture and variety, played at a good volume... loud enough to make you want to get up and dance, but not so loud that you can't hear yourself speak. GREAT AMBIANCE! And a good place to play pool if you can grab one of their two pool tables. I really enjoyed playing electronic darts there.... but they just got rid of the dart boards! BUMMER! But, for the sports fans out there (I'm not), you would probably enjoy them having 10 or more TVs. Overall, the Cornerstone Pub rocks!!! read more

Tried this place several times because it looks cool inside and has a pizza shop next door. Unfortunately the service is just awful, terrible attitudes and snarky remarks. No one there has any concern of getting sick from working too hard!! Unless you are a shallow single dude with s lot of money to waste I would avoid this place at all cost! read more

Super cool bar. Went to watch the UFC fight (I am from out of town) great pizza but 2 stars due to the fact it felt like 95% of the staff were pissed they had to be there. A smile and some kindness goes a long way when you are in the service industry. One waitress was sneaking shots with a table of guys she must have known and a couple of the others had "I hate my job" written all over their faces. We sat for 20 min waiting to order a few drinks and had to ask a bar back to send a waitress over, when no one showed I went to the bar to order them myself and the bar back whispers.. "I tried, sorry." WHAT?! Sad to say but I won't go back. Maybe just pizza for take out. read more

This bar is pretty fun. Decent prices, three pool tables, ski-ball, and some electronic dart boards, On a busy night the jukebox is usually overrun with terrible music, but there is good pizza from the shop next door. read more

Very unproffesional staff. Bartender was an incompetant baffoon. Extremely rude and unnecessary.

Fun atmosphere. Good prices and good food. Love the pizza from Angie's!

After my old hang closed I needed to find a new joint to pull up a chair to throw back some brews and bourbon. This was a big concern as I may have had to take a break in my alcoholism. WHEW...that was close! Now, I've been to Cornerstone before, but after a very brief competition with some of the other area bars, this has won out to become "my bar"....I'm pretty sure I feel better about that than everyone else around me. The entire staff is quick to serve and very friendly. They have a jukebox, 3 pool tables, skee ball, golden tee, and a patio. Oodles of TV's for your sports viewing pleasure. Oh, the jukebox streams excellent music. Fridays are free pizza happy hour, and there's a direct line to Ange's Pizza, which is absolutely rocking. I do see that it is classified partially as a dive bar. This isn't like any dive bar I've been to. This is just a really nice little joint. If you, too, have no interest in AA, come on down and enjoy a nice little place with cool people...the granny with tight clothing is absolutely awesome. read more

This bar/owner decided to open on Christmas Day and was very rude as a bartender. When asked if she could make a grape kool-aid shot......her response was....i don't bartend, i'm just working. Then after she walked away, we finally got her attention and asked her for different shots, and her response was.....there are a lot of people ahead of you guys, its gonna be awhile. Needless to say, I asked to close my tab and it came in 30 seconds.....busy huh? I do not recommend visiting this establishment when the "owner" is "bartending". read more

Fun bar to have a few beers and play pool. They serve Angie's pizza which is very good. Touch tunes, Keno, and plenty of TVs.

This bar has GREAT food and the best TVs in Gahanna! Always a smiling bartender. It's the ideal neighborhood pub.

The atmosphere in this place is fun and friendly with good service and loads of TV's to watch your favorite sports teams. The pizza is incredibly good as well! read more

Have given this bar a few chances. Every time I went it just solidified why I didn't want to come back. The last time I was there me and my friend waited ten minutes for a drink. There were 5 people at the bar. A guy walks up and he instantly get served. Seems like the chick with the shaved head hates her life and every girl that comes into the bar. The time before that I came in, same girl working, and had two drinks. When I closed my tab out it was over $30 and they had put multiple drinks on it. I asked for an itemized receipt and they acted like it was the end of the world, probably bc they got caught. They reimbursed me when I said something to them but I definitely would recommend not starting a cc tab there. Staff is rude, angry and seems to not like to serve girls which makes no sense seeing as I'm pretty sure their staff is mainly all girls. Terrible experience multiple times. They need to clean house with those sour attitude "bartenders" if that's what you want to call them. read more
