Stopped in for a few beers on a Sunday morning. Had the Dortmunder and a Peach Radler. Tasty. I believe the beer was $7 for a .5l and the Radler was $10.50 for a .5l. Was easily able to get a seat- entered through the patio. Had a variety of small tables, picnic tables, and benched + a gazebo with a table. I didn't even go inside and was able to order drinks to my table via the qr code. Didn't try the food as I had just eaten but everything smelled great. Back patio had some children's toys for kids to play with so good for families. read more

Gemüt Biergarten - Dortmunder - Beer Gardens Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place looks cool - been a couple of times. The second time was a better experience, we sat inside at one of the picnic tables. Order your beer at the bar. If you become a member you get a stein and it's kept on the wall so it's always there. Don't know how this works tho. There is an outdoor patio out back but Holy moly the time we went it was SO CROWDED. We ordered drinks and food from the app and it took forever - our server also got lost trying to find us. Really cool place and I wish it would work out - it's just a not a favorite. You may love it tho - Lota of parking! Right off Paraons - can't miss it! read more

The patio bier garden is completely covered in cold months and is dog friendly - even the GIANT dogs! If it's a German food you want you can get it here: schnitzel, wurst, and... you get the idea. Find their menu online. Kraft brews are plentiful, and as many micro breweries do, Gemüt has a mug club arrangement for frequent customers. Friendly staff with plenty of bench style seating, indoors, and garden picnic table style seating outdoors. This is a great place, and lively, to talk with friends and meet new people. Fantastic for happy hour and for winding down the work week. read more

Love the decor and the vibe here. Even when its cold you can sit outside on their heated patio. You can order at your table or at the bar. Every time we've visited the beers have been different. Great service and good quality. read more

Gemüt Biergarten - Beer Gardens Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I really, really liked this place. You order at the counter and then they bring your beer and food to you. The inside seating area isn't massive but there is a large patio--the biergarten--out back. The interior is dark wood everywhere with gorgeous stained glass behind the bar. If a fresh pretzel is on the menu, we are getting it, and the one here is enormous and delicious. The beer cheese that is an optional accompaniment actually tasted like beer and was probably the best beer cheese I have ever tasted. Everyone hates on bologna, primarily because of the unbelievably disgusting gloppy Oscar Meyer stuff, but when it is done right, it is delicious. The fried bologna sandwich here, which comes with tick cut bologna, melted swiss cheese, shaved onions, and mustard aioli on marbled rye is superb. Get this sandwich and show the world bologna is a real food. I had to try the dortmunder beer, partly because of the bartender's recommendation but mostly because of the ridiculous name, and I loved it. It was flavorful and refreshing. This was a very good experience. read more

Located in Olde Town East, Gemüt is an awesome restaurant and brewery. Inside, it feels and looks like an authentic German beer hall and the Biergarten in the back is fantastic! They have a great selection of beers on tap and the food is on point! Another great place to stop for your Oktoberfest celebrations! read more

Went here for a surprise birthday dinner, as my partner read that the best burgers in Columbus were here. I have to say, the smash burger was pretty spectacular. It's exactly what I wanted out of a classic burger. Great burger patty size (not thin like some smash burgers), and great meat to cheese to bun ratio. The pickles were divine too. I didn't have bacon on mine, so can't speak to how that adds to the burger. My mom and sister had the mushroom burger which they loved as well. The sides were awesome too, the fries had the perfect crunch and the spaetzle was so comforting. We had the apple fritter for dessert. This was the one that was a let down for me- it just wasn't for me. I love apple desserts, but this didn't hit the spot for me. It was a little messy and I didn't love the way the batter was fried on the apple. Really, this is a personal preference thing. The restaurant is seat yourself, with options to sit outside on their patio or inside. Service is very quick and staff very friendly. We will definitely come back for burgers and to try the schnitzel! read more

I really like Gemut. The inside is so different than a typical brewery. The stained glass is beautiful. The bar has a homey, local feel. The beer is excellent. My favorite is the hefeweizen. The food is also worth it, except it is a little pricey. The only downside was the bread pudding. We did not get that much, and it was not that good, also it was $12+, not worth it. Note that they add 5% for all credit card transactions. A little annoying but I understand. read more

Let start out that this was at one time an old fire house. The stained glass windows behind the bar are beautiful. They have a great patio, I wish it would have been a little warmer for this.I started with Spatzel's and added bacon and French onions. Oh my these were so good I would get this every time I go. They beer selection was great, and everyone was so friendly that worked there. It was a great time for sure. read more

Steeply overpriced for a flavorless hotdog in a mid bun with way too much mustard for a hotdog already coming with sauerkraut. Yikes. Yall see how much mustard they put on this thing??? Good lord it was thicker than the damn sausage itself. I rarely leave reviews but I needed to leave a review for this one. I was really hungry and it still didn't taste good. The spaetzel was alright though I find it hard to mess up since it's basically Mac n cheese. Don't go here if you're actually looking for food. The stained glass was pretty though it's fake. And the food came out instantly but it was a little concerning. read more

Gemüt Biergarten - Bratwurst with a sauerkraut and mustard. Side of spaetzel (Mac n cheese type thing) - Beer Gardens Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Not actually sure what this building used be before becoming a brewery. It is nice they kept a lot of the original architecture here. They have a nice patio and service is good. They have one big TV in the dining area and you would have to sit sideways if you wanted to watch a game. Beers were good, The pretzel wasn't anywhere near the best I've ever had. It was fairly hard on the outside and not too soft on the inside. Cheese dip was good, however. Decent size parking lot. It was my first time here and look forward to coming back to try more brews and food. read more

WOW! First of all, what a beautiful place. So tastefully done and everywhere you look there is something amazing. The service was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beer was delish, the food was even better. There is an outdoor area for kids to play with and my 2&3 yr olds both left saying how fun it was. Tons of seating outside and a solid amount inside. read more

Everything was ok. No cocktails just beer. I guess I got "German Village Taxed" which means restaurants feel like they can charge you more just because you're eating in a so called "exclusive" area. The Short North does it, Dublin Bridge Park area does it, Italian village does it etc. I came here for HAPPY HOUR and it's assumed that with Happy Hour there's some sort of discount or special but not so much. Ain't no way two happy hour appetizers and ONE Beer Should be $47 but this is what it was! $7 Beer was okay, $16 pretzel was decent with the $2 Upcharge for mustard and $2 Upcharge for Bier Cheese, $14 very small wing dings had a good sauce flavor but the "caraway ranch" and "bleu cheese" were indistinguishable from one another and WATERY. Service was fair so I left a tip and there you have it $47. Give em a go but expect to be "GERMAN VILLAGE TAXED" and if you go for "HAPPY HOUR," it's so expensive you might as well order an ENTREE instead read more

Paprika Schnitzel w/ kasepatzle & potato salad is the way to go! Well that was todays choice! Consistent good food and service even though this visit I waited a pretty good bit for my check. Pretty decent turnaround from ordering to be table as well. Inside is an old firehouse transformed into a German restaurant. Done alfresco on the patio, grab a bite to eat at the bar, or family style bench seething, or outback. Inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and the only issues I ever have is deciding what to order. Definitely recommend a meal or grabbing a beer here. read more

Love love this place. Olde Town East, the location. We've been here 2-3 times, and I just wanted to say some nice words. Gemüt is in an old firehouse, and there's a parking lot next to it. The food is really good for us. We're vegetarian/vegan, and there are a couple sandwiches that can be made vegan with meat from Seitan's Realm. Service is at the bar, and you grab a number. They'll deliver the food to your table. Water is self serve, and the beers come in 16 or 32 Oz. The beer garden is absolutely awesome. My favorite spot, so far. The pretzel. Have to get this pretzel. Get the Düsseldorf mustard. read more

Before I moved out of Columbus, I had made a shortlist of places to check out before I left. This was top of the list - and I soon found out for good reason. Few places in the city where you can get the ambiance of a beer garden with the authenticity of quality German food. Schmidts is the only thing that comes close - and while the food there is better, the patio here is unbeatable. In such a pretty part of town that I hadn't really had the chance to explore all that much, A bit on the pricier side, so I opted for a smaller dish but it was still plenty filling - a generous portion of Kasespatzle with all the fixins'. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area - but honestly, just go out of your way to get this one checked off YOUR list like I did mine! read more

Gemüt Biergarten - Kasespatzle! And a beer! Of some sort! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We were starving, and the food still couldn't taste good. Geimut is a German joint with really interesting architecture-- stained glass windows and arched roofs-- and a distasteful menu with equally distasteful prices. I don't mind spending a penny on a good meal, but the prices for a sausage or some wings or some schnitzel was absurd. Absurd, I tell ya! The food came out instantly. Immediately red flag. The currywurst had absolutely no bite to it. How do you mess up a sausage that bad? It's like they peeled off the casing ?!?!? That's how dry, gritty, and soft it was. Unacceptable. Meijer brand microwave sausages have a better bite than that for $2 instead of $17. SEVENTEEN DOLLARS. Rute's was bland and it looked like someone accidentally dumped the entire bottle of mustard on her dog. The buns were dry, were not toasted nor warm. The meat to bun ratio was 3:1. Ridiculous. The curry flavor in the currywurst was diluted, like it showed up to class but never took notes. Relish was unappealing. The singular point this place gets is the cool architecture and the Kasespatzle, which was actually pretty good. Had nice flavor in the Gruyère. The pretzel was alright. Didn't have that signature pretzel chew. But the beer cheese ! Let me tell you about the beer cheese ! That beer was NOT cooked down, I could probably still have gotten tipsy off of it. That was 50% lager, 50% mild cheddar. That was beer soup. read more

Gemüt Biergarten - Beer Gardens Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Pro: food and space! Grow: ordering process unclear for first timer. I was in Ohio this past week and this brewery was just across the street from my Airbnb! I decided to give it a try for dinner and loved the food. This is a brewery/ restaurant and has both an indoor and outdoor space. I loved the outdoor space as it was covered and bright. There is a self serve water station and overall was a casual vibe. I was a bit confused about the ordering process and eventually realized I had to order at the bar! Food: I had the pork schnitzel with a side of veggies and a type of pasta! Absolutely loved it, the schnitzel was crunchy yet tender and the mushroom sauce complimented it well. I did feel it was missing some acid so I asked for a wedge of lemon. The lemon definitely brought it up to a 10. Both of the sides were perfectly cooked and overall felt like a warm meal made by someone who loves you! I did not try the beer but the food was good! I would definitely come back. read more

Gemüt Biergarten - Pork schnitzel - Beer Gardens Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We decided to sit in the outdoor biergarten, and it was a fantastic choice. The space was inviting--kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and most importantly, BIER-friendly! The atmosphere accurately captured the authenticity of a traditional German Biergarten. Ordering was a breeze. You could place your order at the bar or use the QR code on the table for a seamless experience. We opted for the QR code, and within moments, our drinks arrived. 1 Pils and 1 Helles - both were light, refreshing and full of flavor. With such an extensive beer list, it's impossible not to find something that suits your taste. We stopped for brunch, which is served on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. I ordered the brunch burger--it was a bit messy with the egg, cheese, bacon, pickles and kraut sauce, but absolutely worth it! My wife chose the Gravlax and Cakes, which was nothing short of amazing. The dish featured potato pancakes topped with crème fraîche, salmon, egg, pickled onions, capers, and dill--a super German and super delicious. Overall experience was fantastic. The service was quick and efficient, and the food and drinks exceeded our expectations. With a birthday around the corner, I think a membership to the Wodens Hunting Club would make a wonderful gift! read more

Have to say Gemut was a great Saturday Night Stop. New place on our radar but great experience. Just NE off I-71/Parsons, North of Main. Huge parkingh lot next door too. Historic building from roughly 1890, but nicely updated inside. Large community tables inside and great patio out back (a few tables in front too). We stopped for Drinks and Appetizers but ended up having dinner. Have specialty drinks, wine and of course their own beer. Highly recommend a flight with Dunkel, Golem Pilsner, Coffee Stout, and favorite Helheim Helles. (Not an IPA fan so stayed away from Hoppy options). All four (5 oz. each) were great but Helles and Dunkel were the best. Dinner we did Wiener Schnitzel. Great piece of Veal, opted for poach egg on top, with Potato Salad and the Kasespatzle (egg dumplings). Authentic and so Tasty!! highly recommend that combo. Everything here is order from the counter and they will bring it to you. Not a problem at all - staff was super attentive and fast. Helpful in ordering food and drinks too. We got there early, so no problems with a table, but it was crowded by the time we left around 7:30. Can't wait to go back and try the other beers and food. read more

Vegan options were both delicious and not boring. It's so hard to just find a veggie burger most of the time, so I was stoked to see a vegan Reuben and a Veganwurst on the menu. There was A vegan schnitzel too but we didn't try it. My wife who has eaten a ton of meat Reuben's in the past loved the vegan version. It was 1000x better than the vegan versions she's had before. 10/10 The beer was also delicious and the beertender let us try several and explained all the German beer varieties to us. We are from Colorado so we love beer but are used to more IPAs and sours. read more

Food good, drinks great. Music? Terrible. Whoever was djing needs to not come back.

The food was mediocre at best the. The Spoetzl was bland. The potato salad tasteless. There isn't really much service you order at a counter and they bring it but if you need drinks or something else you have to go back to the bar. The only thing I can say that was delicious was the apple fritter. Not good enough to ever go back. Just I have no desire for a return visit. read more

Gemut Biergarten is in my top 5 breweries to visit in Columbus. This is place has brunch and dinner options, is on a perfect spot, huge parking lot, with both indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of space. It has its own dimamic which if you are not familiar and you crave that extra stalking attention of a waiter attentive of every need you may have every 5 seconds, this place is not for you. First of all you sit yourself and then order through a qr code or go inside and they take your order at the bar. Service is very friendly and fast, they have a lot of beer and cocktails options even samplers.Patio area is cute and quaint. The food is fresh and amazing, it was our first time but we'll be back. They have a fine selection of traditional German beer styles: Marzen, Schwarzbier, Helles Lager, Dortmunder, Hefeweizen, Pils and the occasional interesting variation, currently a coffee Baltic Porter. Reuben fries and Sauerkraut Balls for the Happy Hour food selection. Wines, cocktails, and beers by the bottle from elsewhere, round out the drinks. Inside and outside seating in a warm, friendly environment. Must visit if you are in or around German village area! read more

Gemut is an old firehouse, so it has a bit of character to it. We went here on a Saturday night and we're able to sit right down. There is a Biergarten out back, indoor seating with 2 rows of tables, and patio seating available out front. The service was excellent. You can order by QR code in your phone or go up to the bar to order. I can't speak much to the food because I only got a salad and a pretzel. The salad was delicious. The pretzel comes in a pizza box, and you have to purchase the cheese separately ($4 for cheese). I got the beer cheese, and it had a bit to be desired.. it was somewhat gritty and tasted like it was a powdered cheese that they just added water to. The pretzel itself was perfect! The wine glass is huge and they are able to make most mixed drinks you'd like. I'd recommend stopping by and checking it out. Maybe just get a different cheese for your pretzel. read more

Just got drinks and a large but pricey pretzel. Sat outside and had to order through app. Took too long to get everyone's order in, credit card info, etc. Thought I had closed tab when I entered cc info, but they ended up adding in a hefty 25% tip for themselves for almost no service. This is why you should never leave a tab open at any bar!!! read more

If you have jot checked gemut biergarten out yet I would say hurry and get there while the outdoor beer garden is open! It was a sweet set up with many tables and seatings, you could definitely enjoy it even in a big group. Inside was also pretty nice with old antique church like decor and in the winter I see myself being here or in October near Oktoberfest this might be a really cute place to have a couple of beers. What I really enjoy is there happy hour on the weekdays for 4 to 6 pm to have two dollar off their beers which are fantastic. They also have these fries for happy hour snacks which I would definitely say recommend 100%, they are fries covered with blue cheese and bacon and cheese sauce and are absolutely delicious and crispy at the same time in your mouth. We also always get the pretzel which is a little pricey however with the beer cheese and the spicy mustard and a German beer garden setting it seems like a must get. read more

I stopped by Gemüt for a happy hour bite and pint and was impressed. They offer $2 off beer from 4-6 on weekdays. I had two rounds of the Czech Pilsner and it was a solid beer, especially when served out of authentic German glasses. We tried the pretzel with spicy mustard and the paprika schnitzel. The pretzel was fresh and delicious and the schnitzel was likewise excellent. The paprika sauce was flavorful and spicy, with a rich and unique flavor. Highly recommend. Overall, Gemüt is a great spot! read more

I had heard great things about Gemut Biergarten from a friend that knows her beer! So on a beautiful Friday evening we stopped in. We were lucky to snag a table on the back patio. It was full of life and energy. Lots of people enjoying their company and their brews. Our hostess gave us the lowdown that we could go inside and place our order. We just give the bartender the table number and when the order is ready they bring it out to our table. I went inside and was instantly glad I did, because I had a chance to see all the stained glass windows in surrounding the taproom. They were gorgeous, definitely not what you see everyday at a local brewery. The weather was mild for mid summer in Ohio. We enjoyed our beers. We relaxed and exhaled, letting the week go. I really enjoyed the scene outback. So many happy people. We also tried the pretzel app. It hit the spot. It is not hard to make a good pretzel, but there are breweries in town that struggle with it, so we were thrilled this one was on point. We can not wait to find another night to relax on the back patio at Gemut before winter comes. It truly feels like our scene. read more
