    Good food and drinks were amazing. Stopped before a concert! Got us in and out :) Awesome view of the city!

    All the reviews talked about out their drinks, which our group loved. But, we also ordered a smorgasbord of food. We tried their sushi, meatballs, skewers, fries, spin dip, crispy rice, coconut shrimp and I'm sure a lot more that I'm missing. Everything was delicious. Each order is definitely a shareable item for a group of 4-6 to get 1 bite. If there is something you know people will love order 2 of it. Server did a great job at checking in on us and taking care of us. It was a bit loud. We have to lean in to really listen to what someone was saying. Make sure you make a reservation if you want to eat or have a larger party

    I've been here a few times and this place never disappoints. When the weather is nice and the windows are open this is a prime spot for a delicious happy hour or hangout spot. Everyone who works here is super nice and the service is great. This most recent time we got the sliders and the truffle fries and they were all delicious.

    enjoying Lincoln Social rooftop with a good buddy who I first met when I was in elementary school. It was his birthday!

    Went to the Lincoln Social Rooftop with a reservation after our dinner for a drink. Waitress was thorough but quick; we finished our first round of expensive cocktails, we weren't ready to order round 2, but waitress passive aggressively tried to get us to leave by giving us our checks immediately. Good ambiance and enjoy the picture of me hanging out and having fun. Espresso martini was 8/10!

    Meatballs!

    Terrific experience! Open air but somehow not at all hot in a steamy day! Service was above and beyond! Very nice energy. Their cocktails are creative and delicious. We had some sharables - hot tuna roll, spinach and artichoke dip, and the meatballs. The meatballs were chicken and had an Asian-inspired sauce. The spicy tuna roll was delicious'

    Love Lincoln Social to get some cocktails. They have items that stay on the menu most of the times, but they do rotate the menu or add seasonal cocktails. If you have not tried the gingerbread espresso martini yet, then you need to go! It's so good. I love the atmosphere since it's a rooftop bar and they usually decorate it so cute and based on the season. If you can get Che as your waiter, I'd definitely try!

    We went upstairs to wet our whistle. We sat at the bar . There were quite a few open tables, but they had reserved signs on them . I thought that was a little strange because it was only 530. The bar was very nice . I would recommend you make a reservation if you want to have dinner . It's very loud. Very trendy. Super fun , and super young. Very nice view from certain vantage points . Casual dress.

    Def make reservations! They have a nice selection of cocktails and beer but also a full bar. Our server was very attentive. The rooftop scene is always a vibe. There's a firepit and seating outside as well but even a high top table by the window is a nice view. Looking forward to checking it out in the summer

    I always love coming here with my friends on the weekend. The food is always amazing, the drinks are to die for. They have a great team of bartenders that truly know there stuff. They won't hand you a drink that tastes like gasoline. The overall vibe of the place is so cute and the view of the city is one of the best in town. This is a must see when coming to short north!

    Lincoln social has been one of my favorite rooftop bars for a few years now and after my last visit I'm even more obsessed with this place. I haven't been there in a while but it looks like they've undergone some renovations since then. It used to be all standing-room and city views, but after the glow-up it's giving upscale cocktail bar, dim lights, cozy booths, and the skyline still stealing the show. I wish I remembered our servers name because he was amazing. We had already ordered drinks at the bar and grabbed a table on the patio. He came around almost immediately and introduced himself. He checked in with us frequently and was such a joy to be around. We didn't order food but grabbed a few drinks and shoots and before we knew it, it was time to go. I absolutely love Lincoln social, if you're ever in town or looking for a dope rooftop hangout Lincoln social is it.

    Is it possible to get a table on a weekend around 7 without a reservation?

    What is the dress code?

    I'm not sure they have one when they're not too busy. But there is a wait you can expect if you try to just walk up during busy hours and the door person has a lot of discretion, so dress to be seen, I'd say!

    Is this restaurant wheelchair accessible? Meaning the rooftop as well as front door (no steps at all)?

    OK so check my most recent review - I posted some relevant pics, chatted up a bartender, and visited specifically to try and help answer this question. I hope this is of some assistance!!!… Read more

    Is it 21+?

    They checked all of our ID's at the entrance downstairs then they let you up. It may be different during the day because I've only been in the evening.

Based on her suggestions, I ordered the Southern Spring Rolls and the Loaded Brussels sprouts with feta and cranberries; both were phenomenal, especially the dipping sauces she provided for the rolls. My main course, the Arch City Burger, was cooked to perfection on a nicely toasted bun, and the Caesar salad I ordered as a starter was fresh and crisp although dressing was average not my preference. To finish, both the Night Shift martini and complimentary tiramisu were delicious. While I had an overall excellent experience and plan to return soon, I did want to provide some constructive feedback regarding the beverages here. I was disappointed that bottled water was unavailable. Additionally, I found the $17+ price point for pre-batched cocktails to be quite high, as I generally prefer a freshly made drink. However, I was very pleased that Dane was able to accommodate my request for a fresh Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned instead. Thank you again for a lovely lunch and pass my compliments along to Dane for her outstanding hospitality!

We both got the fried chicken BLT, the spoon bread and mac & cheese. The spoon bread is simple corn bread, but it was really good. The mac & cheese was homemade and delicious. The sandwiches were outstanding and huge. My daughter and I could have split one between us. Instead, we brought two halves home. Not sure what this place used to be. High ceilings with barn beams and an old style post office mail box layout, like you might see in an old hotel. Regardless, would not hesitate to come back.

    Love this place!…read more Came in here last weekend and sat outside for a warm spring evening. We did make a reservation somewhat last second, but were easily able to get an outdoor table. We actually got to the restaurant a little bit early and they ended up seating us outside, which was perfect. For food, I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries and mac & cheese. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly. Overall great time here and can't wait to come back. Love going to this place in Cincinnati as well, so I was very happy when they opened one up in Columbus.

Really in love with its vibes, both indoor dining room with different segments of seatings and outdoor patio tables are amazing. The interior design here is truly unique and artistic. Great for big groups, date night, or even just chilling with friends. Not sure if it's the standard here, but there was never anyone filling our water during the entire dining time after they left 2 bottles of water on the table. Our server is patient and friendly but not on point. They messed up our orders, forgot one order and brought one wrong (we ordered smashed burger but received chicken sandwich). Very surprising that the staff didn't do anything or offer to send in the correct order. The chef of table service for Tomahawk is fun and enjoyable to carry conversations but unfortunately our Tomahawk was overcooked. We loved the presentation for sure though. Their smoked ribs is not "smoked" but boiled and soaked in sauce. The "smoked" part refers to its presentation, but their machine was down, and we were not told, so we basically got the ribs, neither smoked in cooking method nor smoked when it was brought to our table. The donut tree is another one great for eyes and cameras. It comes with little fireworks at the table service. Overall we enjoyed the breeze and atmosphere here. Will come back for relaxation if in town.

I got the Korean BBQ smash burger topped with Korean BBQ aioli, Cleveland Kraut Kimchi, gochugaru (korean chili flake) and scallion. I don't understand the smash burger craze since I like my burgers medium rare, but if I have to eat a smash burger to enjoy these toppings, I'm in! The heat, texture and combination of flavors were epic. The fries are well done too! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was even after 30 minutes.
