I went to Donnericks on S. Hamilton road tonight (12/17/21) and I brought a friend who had never been there. Typically I do not go on Fridays because of the poor service at the bar. We got to Donnericks around 11pm and it wasn't to busy. Tried to get a drink and the bartenders ignored us the entire time we were there. I couldn't even get the bar back to get their attention. After 35 minutes and no drink, we left. Will never go back. Bartenders only catered to people they knew. read more

Horrible music, very strong drinks! The place is exactly what you need to forget about the worries of the day. It is dark, has a pool table, patio, jukebox, the 'regulars' lined up along the massive bar, tvs everywhere and munchies (for when you know you will be feeling the after effects the next day). I met a friend here to catch up and dish about my latest heartbreak. The bartenders make some strong drinks, so it was easy to forget about the reason I met her there. The people watching consisted of a bunch of guys playing pool and a bunch of guys staring at us- the only 2 females in the place other than the bartenders. The guys were friendly and tried to make conversation. The interior of the place was really nice, booths lined the exterior walls and the bar was, as I said, huge. I probably would not feel comfortable going back alone, as I sort of felt like a slab of meat on the butcher's block. As I went there just to have a couple drinks and talk to my friend, it served it's purpose. read more

So I have been in and imbibed a few times during this year of the VID. My last visit which will be my last the small bar back stole my backpack. He said "he took it to the trash because it was on the trash can and when I went back out to retrieve it it was gone". Well too be honest he did not speak so well. There have been pick pocket accusations as well for this place. Shame on you management and shame on the owners. read more

Easy location and parking. At first glance the exterior is unremarkable; standard sign and a little outside/patio area. Interior actually looks pretty nice. Looks almost all new with plenty of tv's; new & modern. Drinks are...drinks. Nothing too crazy there. The biggest drawback; that SHADY creepin' old/weird perps present. My wife & I went for some drinks and a quick bite and needless to say, perhaps arm yourself. Atmosphere is heavily influenced by said issue. And the food...it's from NEXT door; Minuteman Pizza and that a whole different review! Regardless, most of everything is over priced. We had one beer, a pop, small pizza and side salads...over $30. Yeah.... All & all, nothing special from the next hole in the wall "pub". Doubt if we go back. read more

So, this is a forgettable bar. It never draws that big of a crowd, and let's just say, there have been multiple reasons why. I promise to get to some of those, but first and foremost, be on alert. They have a pick-pocketer problem! Apparently, it's a significant enough problem that my friend--my guest--was just completely disrespected by an employee, on the hunt for pick-pocketers. Let me begin by saying that it's 28° outside and snowing lightly--cold enough for it to stick. Dang you, Columbus! After sitting at the bar, minding our own business for an hour with our coats on, my friend pulled her hood up. We had been sitting, enjoying our conversation, but as I mentioned, it was friggin cold and EVERYbody except the employees had coats and jackets on inside. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge dude walks up to my friend, touches her, and coldly says, "We've recently had pick-pocketers, so you can't wear your hood inside!" What??? So, now, we look like cold, cranberry-drinking pick-pocketers!?! Mind you, we were sitting alone at our section of the bar and hadn't spoken to anyone except for the bartenders and a nice guy who asked me about the food situation. My friend was wearing a girly, peacoat with a designer scarf! What made things more uncomfortable was that it was my friend's first time, and I go there occasionally--well, I did before today anyway. Now, reasons other than being harrassed for wearing a coat inside a cold bar and being aligned with a pick-pocketer, this bar doesn't really have the best service. You might be sipping from a plastic, picnic cup. If you desire edibles, they don't regularly have food/food situation is sketchy. They switch bar staff quite a bit, so don't get attached to any opportunities to experience rapport. I have been there more than once when the registers were down and it was cash only (That's professional.). People are allowed to get very, very drunk here, but if that's good news to you, just be careful. Groveport police are always in their parking lot, ready to serve. Thankfully they do an excellent job to stop drunk-driving! Also, you'll want to bring money for the jukebox because the music selection can be very one-sided. Finally, it's cold inside, remember? DO NOT make my friend's mistake of being a normal person and accidentally pull your coat's hood on. Otherwise, you might be singled out from your bar seat, humiliated for doing nothing wrong at all, and no apologies given. Shameful. Good thing there are plenty of other options in Columbus! read more

The bar staff use their bare hands to place orange slice in drinks after handling money...bad safety practices...we won't be back...not following cdc guide lines or basic safety health guidelines. read more

It's a simple little dive bar if that's your thing. The drinks are ok and the service sucks, especially if it's busy. The music is up to par. There is a wide variety of music in the juke box. The patio can get pretty filthy on a busy night. Glasses and cig butts everywhere. Cleanliness needs to be a priority. The bartenders need to be more social and attentive. I also notice that they hardly check I.Ds smh. I go because it's in close proximity of my house. Other than that I would find another bar to go to. read more

I think part of my problem with this place is that I just wanted a chill sit down place to enjoy a quick beer while waiting for a ride. Instead it was like a makeshift club. People in the area seem to love the place. Parking is easy. Strip mall bars are always weird to me. read more

I've been to this bar several times. Friendly staff, good prices, and the food is okay. The food comes from the pizza place next door. It is clean and we always have fun. There aren't alot of bars in this part of town that I would go to, but this one has always been fun. read more

The worst service and experience I have ever had. I frequent many pubs from many backgrounds and i have never been so rudely treated in my life and what makes it worse was this exceptionally rude treatment came from a person claiming to be one of the owners! They may pretend to be a nice place but it is nothing more than a thug hang-out in sheep's clothing. read more

A bar when they know you by name is always a good time plus a convent pizza shop next door. Clean environment ... Local and good music ... DJ on Friday and Saturday and specials through out the week. read more

This place used to be better. Went there the other night, and the customer service was horrible. I waited more than 15 minutes for service , before I finally walked out. I understand they had some people there, but one of the bartenders could've at least acknowledged me instead of looking through me, and helping people who had just walked in... Ahead of me. Basically never returning . read more

Good, fun place to drink. They play rap music on Friday and Saturday nights, so if that is not your thing, you probably shouldn't waste your time. The bartenders are friendly and know what they are doing. Definitely would recommend. read more

Not a bad place from a regular. Most bad reviews are given from people how know one would want anyway? The people are friendly and the food from Minute Man pizza next door....it's a bar! Very clean place and yes....the drinks are strong......not sure if you can complain about that...that's the entire point right? Visit with no expectations and you will be fine! read more

Nicest bar in groveport area by far. Staff is nice and the bar inside has lots of tvs if you wanna catch a game. Has a pizza place connected to it next door if you wanna grab a bite which it had its own kitchen but all and all I would give it 4 stars. read more

Was there tonight and the game got turned off at half time cause it was a blow out so they decided to play all rap music.. It was bad enough there was a weed smell coming in from the patio area because the door was open smoking is supposed to be kept outside after all. But what was funny if you put money in the jukebox and the bar back doesn't like it cause he is high and wants nothing but rap playing he asks to buy you out. Would not recommend this place to anyone who wants to not be bothered , I won't be back and I was what you would call a regular due to it being close no more I hate wasting money and time. read more

Have been to Donerick's several times. Normally no problems, pretty nice place. However, today (03-26-15) I stopped by just before 7 PM. The sign on the door said closed. I turned it to open as I went in. Sat at the bar...waited about 5 minutes, watched the barmaids wait on about 3 or 4 people who had already been served, someone who walked up to the bar got served. The place wasn't busy, they walkted past me several times and didn't even acknowledge me. I put on my jacket, walked out and turned the sign back to closed. I guess I figured out why it was turned to closed in the first place. Probably the last customer to leave must have figured it was closed, just like I did. read more

The most mean, the most unreliable staff I have ever encountered. I've been here on account, about 4 times each giving them the benefit of the doubt. The first time we sat there for about 10 mins, ( the place was not even close to busy) before we were greeted. The second time, the same thing, but 7 whole mins ( we timed it that time) the bar back never acknowledged us (when we asked if someone could get us a drink I mean come on we're two hot blondes) the third time I was dragged there and it was busy me and my girlfriend actually had a good time ( not the same bartender) we were served promptly and we left happy so the fourth and final time was a splurge because it was the only bar by me and the last time was not so bad, I was completely ignored, I asked if there was a taxi they could call me ( I was new to the area) completely ignored the server just looked my way rolled her eyes and kept flirting with a customer. I was proceeded to get hit on my gross men. The moral: never go there unless you are a male, ugly, and do not like to drink because you will not be served. read more
