Service: Wait staff is friendly, attentive, and talkative. Water is kept full and a questions answered thoroughly. Ambiance/Atmosphere: The restaurant is nice and elegant. The roof top scene is a perfect date night and wow factor location. Food: The sushi is very fresh and well put together. Perfectly balanced between all the ingredients and each bite is delicious. The VEGETARIAN sushi is also very good. My mom doesn't like raw fish and although l'm far from vegetarian, I'll say this was a very delicious roll. Tempura shrimp is crispy, well seasoned, and perfectly cooked. Good-light appetizer, and dipped in the sauce brings it up a notch. The best part of the meal will be the sliders. Definitely don't skip, these are delicious and l'd recommend getting 2 Orders. The expresso martini is well flavored and not too strong. If expresso martinis are your thing l'd recommend giving this one a shot. Really enjoyable. read more

Pandan Sour with a Buzz button flower is a MUST. I also ordered the Saturn because I am obsessed with Empress Gin and it is also delicious. I ended up ordering another shot of gin to add to it because the other flavors were so strong. But either way it's a win!! Pot stickers and Wagyu Dirty Tots as a snack were delish!! The view is amazing. Maddie was an awesome server. Social Rooftop was definitely a high point to our visit to Columbus! read more

Lincoln Social Rooftop - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

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 read more

This is a great open rooftop bar 9 floors above the busy street of Short North Arts District. A great date night spot to take someone special or to impress business associates. Bar high-tops, regular tables, longer group tables, sofa boxes for groups (we squeezed 12 in), or sit at the bar. The waitresses were very attentive, and the small plates food for sharing was very good! They had a lot of unusual speciality cocktails my friends tried. Everyone seemed happy with those. Those were pricey but in line with an upscale place like this. My old Fashioned was very good, but probably over-priced. ($20 may have been the most expensive cocktail on the menu.) A bit steep for an everyday stop for a drink (IMHO), but the right place for an occasion. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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' read more

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! read more

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 .

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. read more

I think Lincoln Social has been an amazing spot for years. I think compared to Vaso in Dublin, it doesn't even stack up. Although, it does the trick when you are in Short North. I don't think the staff is kind. I think it is small as all get out. I think it is extra expensive compared to what you receive. I think it is perfect for a fast date night or one with the girls. It gets even smaller even the patio isn't open in the winter. read more

This is probably the most professional rooftop bar I have been to. You enter this big empty lobby with a person at a desk checking IDs before the elevator. The elevator has no buttons so I'm guessing the bar is the only destination it will go to. Once you exit the elevator you meet a stunning wall of flowers to take pictures at. Then you encounter a hostess asking for reservations. Luckily they had a few seats that were open for walk-ins. The view was very elegant. It didn't feel like other rooftop bars you might have encountered in college. The menu had quite a number of drink and food options, all on the more expensive side. I asked for a cocktail that wasn't on the menu and the bartender learned to make it on the spot and it was one of the best I've had. I cannot attest to the food but I hear good things. It's definitely a spot worth checking out. read more

SEVEN WORDS: EXPENSIVE / SMALL PORTION TAPAS BAR / SUPERB SURROUNDINGS. . For Me, It is *ONLY* the Great skyline view that brings this place out of a 3. My Wife thinks it's a plain 3: way Over-prices and horribly small Appetizers/ Tapas. . We went for my 56th Birthday - so we weren't super-worried about the Price Tag; however, we accrued a $92 bill after 3 Appetizers, one glass of Moscato, and a Diet Soda. We left hungry - heading to Macs Scottish Pub to Share an entire entree + an extra side and two drinks. . So...what was good? We will start with the atmosphere and the rooftop view. This was on-par with something you'd find just west of Lake Shore Drive in Chicago - 6 stories up, surrounding a host of 1, 2, and 3 story buildings both north and south. As the sun sets, it is one of the better restaurant views in the city. That being said, once any 7-story condo low-rise gets erected, that ambience completely disappears. Luckily, the Rooftop is set up as a Veranda, with an open patio feeling. I'd meet someone there for 1 plate and 1 or 2 drinks, but Lincoln Rooftop is definitely a jump-ofv point and not a final destination. . However, we haven't talked about the Food. We ordered the Oysters first. 6 small half shells arrived quickly, and they were exceptionally good: quick fried to sear the lemon pepper taste, then finished with a quick.blast of heat, these hit the spot, even if they were smallish - on the size of large tater tots. Still - I loved them. . Our second flight were the Bacon-Wrapped Sea Scallops. These are exactly as you have pictured in your head: 2 skewers, three scallions each: wrapped in a caramelized 1/4- strip of bacon. Very Good to Great - but that's only because of the all-star ingredients. Your first reaction will likely be "we should try this at home. It seems easy." In fact, I think 9 out of 10 ayelpers could do a better job. . Third, and last, we ordered the Brussel Sprouts - which were completely forgettable in 4 Days time. I had to look up the menu and my wife didn't even remember what we had or that we ate them... . This trip included a decent 8 Oz. glass of Moscato + my Soda. We were still VERY VERY HUNGRY - and decided to cut our losses before we spent $250 without 1 steak or major flank of Salmon Steak. . Our Bill came to $92 - and we took a walk into the Short North - only to run into Macs - and to shRe 1 plate with 2 sides - and two drinks - for 1/3 the price of Lincoln Roogtop. . Would I return? It's a Qualified Yes : only to meet someone for light, over-prices drinks. If you look at the Yelp pictures, it'll tell you a story: the Menu pictures are almost all shot in a camera verite- Dutch tilt style: ALL STYLE AND NO SUBSTANCE. . Next time, we will stay on the Ground - and ear ANYWHERE Else. read more

Staff was not very friendly or welcoming at all in trying to find seating for two so we left.

Lincoln Social is a vibey rooftop in the short north with some pretty decor and great views of Columbus. There's a good list of fun cocktails and drinks, as well as tasty appetizers. As with any rooftop, expect to pay more for food and appetizers. Their happy hour deals are not great either, like maybe $2 off. The service is fairly quick though and the servers are super nice. We had a good time here. It does get pretty packed on the weekends, and feels more like a busy bar. But the views are great and it's a fun rooftop to visit. read more

Have been dreaming of going to the rooftop for months!! I got the make me blush (strawberry Aperol) and the antidote (fruity cocktail) or drinks, loved the antidote but make me blush wasn't for me, they are on the most expensive side ($14 & $18) but the view and ambiance is worth the splurge. We also got the spinach artichoke dip yum and nice portion then popcorn chicken with house sauce! Yum!! Perfect size for two to share! Overall nice experience but wouldn't become a regular spot for me! read more

In the spirit of all things rooftop bars, I had to try out one of Columbus's most talked about rooftops. Depending on when you come (& current capacity) you'll have vastly different experiences. If you come during the day before they fill up you can find your way through the building lobby, on to the elevator, up to the roof and speaking to staff in no time at all or if you come while they are at capacity find yourself feeling like you're trying to get into a club, waiting in line in the lobby or occasionally outside if it's truly packed. The ambiance is great and why you come. Very beautifully decorated/furnished, great views of the city, and decent enough music. During my latest visit, the service was slow, so we were only able to get 2 request in before happy hour ended. The drinks were okay at best and the food wasn't anything I'd come back specifically for. At least in my experience this is more of a "do it for the gram" spot and not so much a place I could see myself being a regular at. read more

The ambiance, the drinks, the vibes?! All beautiful. I've been here on slow nights, semi busy days, and packed full nights and had all amazing service.

Went to Lincoln Social for the first time last night. The view of the city skyline is gorgeous. When we arrived there were two Columbus Police Department officers standing by the entry. They greeted us before any host. The officer told me the place was open seating, so we grabbed a couple seats overlooking the view. The service staff took awhile. We got a Paloma, and it was kind of a bummer. Way too sweet and not cold. We didn't order the food, it's pretty expensive. After they dropped off our drinks we never saw our waiter again. They were pretty busy with a bigger table so we checked out at the bar. I wish the drinks and service matched the very cool Instagram aesthetic and views. read more

Personally, I love a nice rooftop bar and this one was really nice. It's a bit tight with space but nice atmosphere. The pizza was soooo good! And we had ordered the Lincoln 75 drink and stuck with that the whole night because it was so good. Waiter was nice and came back to check on us but it was busy and we had a wait a while. I would still recommend this place for sure - and do not forget your ID! read more

Can't go wrong with a roof top for ambiance and drinks were excellent. We didnt have food so no comment on that.

I came in with a friend around 10 PM last night Wednesday December 11th , the bar closes at 11. I ordered 2 beers total that were $9 each from the dreaded bartender. I tipped whatever the machine recommended ($5.75 or something) so I paid $23-$24 total. I check my credit card statement today and the criminals there decided to add themselves extra money to my bill. My bank is showing $59.76 for 2 beers. I'm disputing with my bank ( already called them) and will be calling Lincoln social soon. So, beware if paying with a credit card here because they will commit fraud and add a huge tip for themselves you didn't authorize. You disgust me. read more

After many, many, visits later, it's time for me to update my review for this rooftop bar again. Over the years my experiences here have dwindled. Yes, the view of the Columbus skyline is still gorgeous. Their drinks are still fun and creative, yet on the pricier side. The decor inside is still very trendy and worthy of snapping a pic and posting to IG. But... the service has gone downhill. These days, if you're not at a table with a server or physically seated at the bar, but just there for a fun time, there is a line to get into to order a drink. A line that every time I've stepped into, lasts forever. It's also right in the middle of the walkway where the servers go back and forth nonstop and where customers go to the bathroom. I love the idea of this, but it could be managed way better. The staff really isn't very friendly either, which didn't used to be the case. I know I'll continue to bring friends here, everyone loves it especially if they are from out of town. I'll likely stick to the daytime or less busy nights, though. read more

For my first visit, they really knocked it out of the park. My friend moved out of town a while ago and was back to visit. We stopped at another place where we were told without reservations we could grab seats at the crowded bar or wait an hour. We opted to try our luck with Lincoln Social. We didn't have a reservation but we're given the option of patio seating and if there were no seats, the hostess would seat us at an available table for two. We found an empty table that wasn't cleaned off yet and sat down. Our server came by with water, wiped down the table, and got us a menu rather quickly. My friend follows a low sugar gluten free diet. She had unsweetened ice tea which wasn't on the menu so our server let us know it was going to take a little longer to get. I had the Citrus Creamsicle which very much reminded me of a creamsicle popsicle. It may be too sweet for some. We meant to order the L.S. Roll but accidentally ordered another one. It was good but not what we were expecting. We ordered the gluten free roasted chicken pizza. Either they cook the gluten free pizzas more (which was fine) or the kitchen left it in the oven just a smidge too long. The crispness gave it an extra texture so again, it was fine. It did come with an indicator that it was gluten free to help the kitchen with being aware of any cross-contamination. read more

We had a terrible experience at Lincoln social .My friend and I ordered drinks (which I paid for, including for three other women we sat with who welcomed us to their table). A server came over and told us she wouldn't serve us because we didn't have a reservation-even though we weren't asking for service. She then asked us to leave, despite no one at the table having a problem with us being there. To make matters worse, she said she was calling security to remove us, and when we left peacefully, a police officer got into the elevator with us. It was unprofessional, humiliating, and completely unnecessary. We were respectful and had already paid. The whole situation felt hostile and left us-- and the other guests-confused and uncomfortable. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who expects basic courtesy and professionalism. read more

From the website, I honestly expected this place to be a bit stuck up. It was very different than my expectations; definitely still a classier vibe than most bars -- lots of people dressed up and acting professional -- but there was a strong mix of casual and loud patrons. It was actually VERY loud. And crowded. Not that I wanted to wait and didn't appreciate being able to sit immediately, but I think they'd benefit from seating people intentionally, for both crowd and noise control, as well as cleaning off tables before we sit. We were told we could sit anywhere, and the only available spots were tables with used glasses. They removed these a few minutes after we sat, but they were not wiped down beforehand or while we were there. Service on a Friday night was professional but extremely fast. We had to yell to our waiter and lean across the table to hear, and vice versa. They definitely should have had more people working and less people seated. Drinks were served decently quickly for the crowd, but our (4) cards were gone for at least 10 minutes. The drinks were very good, though a bit expensive for the taste, in my opinion. I almost ordered a shot by accident, because the shots aren't labeled as "shots" on the menu. Although I'd return during a happy hour, the noise and chaos of Friday night was too much for more than 3 stars, unfortunately. read more

Stopped in for after dinner drinks at the bar area on a Saturday evening. The views are stunning but the atmosphere felt a bit hectic. Their restaurant area is reservation only but the tables around the bar are first come first served which I felt to be a little too chaotic. The bar tables have servers and ours was understandably busy but I felt like we were a bother to them whenever we needed something. We rode the elevator up with a group of younger people who were also able to snag a table close to us and also made friends with a gentleman sitting at a table next to us and we all ended up taking shots and drinking together. If anything, the social aspect really lives up to its name here. Had we not made friends with our fellow customers, I would have considered this visit a disappointment. read more
