    Lighting was perfect and I loved the cherry blossom decor during their springtime City Pop pop up!! Drinks were mixed perfectly and miso honey butter + bread was sooo good

    Another place that I've been to many many times but for some reason I've never reviewed. Law Bird is one of the best cocktail bars in Columbus. I love how innovative the menu is and how it is always changing. The MOMA menu was one of my favorites but the one they have currently is sooooo good. The staff is great, super friendly and great vibes. They also do fun little themed pop up events as well as cocktail classes which I find super cool and unique. The mini martini is one of my favorites but you really can't go wrong with any of their drinks. I love coming here and will continue to come and support them

    I will keep this simple. Step 1: Get there at 5:00 sharp on a Sunday because by 5:15 you might have trouble getting seated. Step 2: Get your drink on. Their cocktail menu is several pages long, seasonally rotates, and has something for everyone's fancy. Step 3: Tip your server. They are very knowledgeable about the menu and can help curate selections to your preference.

    Holy cow. Seven stars out of five. I don't drink very often. Not anymore anyway. But I enjoy a good beer, and a good cocktail. I've heard a lot about this place, but it never really seemed like my thing. And it wasn't open during the day so I couldn't get there as easily. Today, I had some time on a weekday evening, and stopped by. Street parking was scarce but available.The place is cozy in that Brewery District/German Village way. Lots of windows. Friendly, professional bartenders. I wasn't very hungry, which was fine because they only have a light food menu, small plates. I got the smoked salmon, expecting lox I guess. It was canned salmon, but very, very good canned salmon. Accompanied with very good crackers, and a great house made caper mayo. You can also get hot sauce and other sauces, but I went with the basics. Everything here is carefully curated, and all of the items on the tray went together perfectly. It was a nice snack or appetizer. A thing you might get if you came here for a drink and an app before you went somewhere else, or after going somewhere else. For me, tonight, it was just enough. And I debated getting a non-alcoholic cocktail, because some of them can be made that way, but the Swedish-inspired old-fashioned sounded great. I love rye, and all of the other ingredients just sounded right together, and sounded right with the salmon. And they were. Just exquisite. I'm not using that word lightly. This was an excellent cocktail, and an excellent duet of food and drink. With excellent service, in a comfortable atmosphere. Oh, and with good music playing. At least for me. The first two things I heard were Cake and POTUSA, and they kind of set the vibe for the rest of the visit. Expensive? Yes. If I was better off, and was serious about cocktails, and lived closer, I would be here all the time. As it is, I will keep track of their menus, because they seem to change, and I will definitely be back once in awhile

    Nestled in the Brewery District, this is treasure for hip new restaurants. I love the idea of craft cocktails. You walk in and are greeted by the friendliest hosts that immediately show you a menu. You can order and ask questions before you are seated. Big tables that are shareable between small and large groups. Very clever drinks that each has its distinct glass. They serve food but great place to grab a cocktail (or two) before hitting your restaurant. We need one of these near my town. Highly recommend.

    One of the most creative cocktail spots in Columbus. Lawbird is small, but somehow both very hip and very welcoming. They change up their cocktail menu often, sometimes featuring a seasonal or special theme, like their Sakura City pop-up each year that features Japanese whiskey and cherry blossom decor. Every drink is inventive and delicious, often with ingredients you don't find anywhere else and made with care each time. They have a limited menu of bar snacks, or small shareables, so it is the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks and a few bites before heading somewhere else for a full meal. Great for a date or a night out with friends.

    Cocktail Class

    This was our first time in and we attended one of their cocktail classes. This is a tasting series they do a few times a month, each with a different theme. We attended the Japanese Spirits/Cocktails. The owners run the class and lead you through the tasting experience as well as teaching you about the history and flavors. You get 3 half cocktails during the experience, all were fantastic. They also have some light snacks, which we really enjoyed the variety of Japanese snacks! I highly recommend taking a cocktail/spirit tasting at Lawbird. Annie and Luke really make the experience amazing! We can't wait to come back for another! You also get a packet of information highlighting what you learned in class as well as a "build your own bar" list to help you recreate the cocktails at home!

    We came for drinks. I got thugs passion " a spritz tupac would fuck with" and honestly it was terrible and I don't think for any amount of minutes Tupac would ever drink that. However, the server was sweet and attentive and the pickles were soooo good. I wish it was all dilly beans, such is life.

    Much like a well-balanced drink, Law Bird consistently hits every note with manuvevered precision--the cocktails are elevated without being self-important, the staff are friendly without being imposing, and the atmosphere is vibrant without being overstimulating. At the suggestion of our fantastic server Miriam, we started with a round of their mini martinis, which are a great way to kick-off the experience. From there we enjoyed exploring their current menu which features cocktails that are inspired by famous paintings. Their menus always have options that range from the approachable to the daring, and they also have non-alcoholic offerings so everyone can be part of the fun. I'd love to give an additional shoutout to Miriam who made our recent visit so fun and special and who found room for us even on a busy night! If you're looking for a curated and cozy cocktail experience, you'll find it at Law Bird.

    Two faves, one photo: the mini martini and Dole Whip are musts on every visit.

    Situated on a quiet corner at the edge of the German Village, this little neighborhood bar is set up in a historic building and well-poised to hold its own among other high-caliber bars on High Street. Often full but rarely overflowing, Lawbird's creative and oft-reinvented menus keep a cultured crowd coming back for more, with crafty themes and a handful of mainstays that maintain a sense of familiarity for those who like to dip in from time to time to bask in the rosy neon glow -- my personal favorites are the $5 mini martini (they default to an olive, but I always order them with a twist) and the Dole Whip. There is no happy hour but with prices as reasonable as these, that's just fine. Limited food and snacks are available, and while parking can sometimes be a pain (street only) it's often free so long as you can find a spot among the brick jungle that is this block of the city. I wish I knew about the venue; the seasoned wooden floors tell a story that stretches back before the bar, but time is entitled to its secrets. It is enough to simply enjoy the place as it is now and enjoy excellent drinks, good company, then move on to the next destination of the night. Where next? Who knows. When you're here, you're not governed by reason.

    The best servers!! We stopped in randomly and it happened to be one of the final nights of the sakura pop up. We had so much fun chatting with our server and hearing about all the other pop ups and his fav stuff about the place. Even got to keep some of the menus bc they had cool artwork on it! I got the Dolphin In Town from the pop-up menu and everything we got was beautifully served and yummy‍ Defo recommend!

    This is one place that attracts people to GV besides the history and the requisite visit to the Book Loft among other places. It's definitely the place that makes you feel cool and hip for having attended it and feeling a little superior when people haven't heard or know but haven't the chance to go. Lawbird offers regular seating, bar seats, and even seats by the counter. I don't know if strictly allowed, but a couple times I've brought food from the food trucks at Antiques on High and eaten here while having a cocktail. Lawbird does offer small plates, and they're pretty good. I've had the pickled veggies and the feta/hummus and pita. I've not tried the hot dogs (would have to be the vegetarian option. I'm glad I got to take my partner here on my birthday. Was a good way to end the night.

    Super cute cocktail bar located in German Village. Visited for the first time after having dinner nearby. The drinks options were unique.

    Just wondering if they also are involved with Palm Valley in Bridge park in Dublin?

    Doesn't appear so. Palm Valley is owned by Gorilla Cinema Presents which runs multiple trendy cocktail bars in Cincinnati.

    Do they have happy hr specials?

    Not that I know of. I know that they have Monday night specials with drinks and food, not on the normal menu.

The server did a GREAT job explaining how the menu worked (you can order the chefs tasting menu or DIY your own) and what everything was.

My boyfriend ordered the bread basket with imported cheeses, pan seared wagyu, seaweed crusted baby lamb chops, and creme brûlée. We split everything and this ended up being perfect because we could be adventurous with the chefs tasting menu and also had some amazing staples! The standouts to me were the chilled tuna ragout, pan seared wagyu, and creme brûlée! One of the BEST steaks and creme brûlée I have had... highly recommend!

My old fashioned was solid (as were the bartender). What I absolutely cannot countenance was one of the owners of this establishment speaking for 7+ minutes (give or take) on his phone--on speaker. I was one of 5 patrons in this establishment at that time--and the place was rather small--so we had to listen to this person's entire conversation, which was ridiculous. (I was told by a server that he was a co-owner when i asked if they intend to allow this to continue). This was my first and likely last visit to Capri.

    REVIEW BY Avila.Eats on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube…read more Service: waitress was excellent and incredible friendly. Thank you Linda for a phenomenal dining experience. Waters were always full and the recommendations were like no other. Ambiance/Atmosphere: inside is a stunning old school bar and dimly lit steakhouse. Truly elegant and beautiful. This is a lovely date night and a special occasion is a must here. Food: 1. Tuna tartare is light and fresh. The tuna is soft and delicate. The avacado is creamy and adds a richness. The sauce is tangy but packed full of umami. Rice chips are light and salty I'd recommend. 7.5 2. Burratta is on crispy toast. The burratta is creamy and smooth. The jam adds a sweetness and the hot honey adds a beautiful spice. The pistachios add a crunch and flavor. I'd recommend. 8 3. Truffle tots aren't all that crispy. But soft and well seasoned. The Parmesan adds a salty nutty flavor. The truffle sauce is rich and creamy with a beautiful truffle flavor that isn't overly done. If they were crispy it would be a 10. I'd insist. 9.5 4. Bread service is alright. The sourdough isn't all that strong with flavor. 4 the chip thing is crunchy with an interesting flavor. Not my personally favorite. 3. The butter is very well whipped and smooth. The butter is really good. Butter makes it 5. Wagyu ribeye is incredible tender. Melts like butter and the tallow butter on top adds an extra layer of richness. It's well seasoned and very lightly as it doesn't need a lot. The beef does all the talking. It touches your tongue and melts away. I'd insist. 10. Dipping the ribeye in the truffle sauce from the tater tots adds an even richer flavor and Creaminess. It's very rich but worth awhile if you enjoy strong flavors 6. Onion strings are soft in a well seasoned and flavored onion strings. Best onion strings I've had although I haven't had many. Very good combo adding the sweetness of the batter with the rich buttery Wagyu 7. NY strip is tender but overly salted. You just taste salt. I wouldn't recommend. 3.5 8. The contender was strong with tequila but pushed the chocolatey coffee flavor strong. The bitter sweetness matched pleasantly for a nice sippable drink during drinner. I'd recommend. 9. Chocolate mousse light and refreshing. Decadent and smooth with. Rich chocolate flavor. Chilled like ice cream and not to sweet. I'd highly recommend. 8.5 10. Key lime pie is custardy and smooth. Rich and creamy. The lime flavor is prominent but not over done. The gram cracker crust is crispy but chewy. Buttery and slightly sweet. Best key lime pie I've ever had. I'd insist 10
