Arguably the best pizza in Canal Winchester - love that they're accommodating if you want to build your own! The live music is always great and this is the perfect season to sit out by the fire. The service at Loose Rail has never been better and this is becoming one of our favorite local spots to bring guests. Looking forward to some of the other events they're hosting this fall, including cookie decorating nights out!

Great food, live music, and good drinks in a cool place. Check it out and support local. It's always a good time.

New brussel sprouts. They're fantastic! Please come try them as well as the perogies

Brussel sprouts are crispy, flavorful , and amazing. Please go order them ASAP! Perogies are insane as well.

One of my favorite places to go. Great food and great atmosphere. Service is also amazing. Be sure to check out FB for weekly for specials and entertainment on Friday and Saturday. Monday Night football and Half off wings also. Tell them Nikki sent you.

Bar

Quaint neighborhood pub with accommodations outside with fire pits and an upstairs to view the band. Bar service professionals and upstairs food ordering. Pizza and nachos tasty But Jeff Weaver & band called us here for the first time; I'll be back.

Very pleasantly surprised by this small taproom in downtown Canal Winchester. Cozy interior with ample seating, nice outdoor patio with firepit(s), solid selection of delicious craft beers at a reasonable price, and friendly staff. My visit was mid-afternoon on a Sunday, so there weren't any food trucks around but it looks like they have food trucks around to serve food during dining hours. The taproom itself does not appear to serve their own food. The only knock I have against this place so far is that it doesn't have its own parking lot, and their website has zero information about where you're supposed to park. I found a spot on the street out front, but I would've been confused otherwise. I heard from a friend who lives nearby that there's a city parking lot nearby that you could use?

Loose Rail is another good central Ohio brewery. It's in Canal Winchester, where it has quite a competitor. The main location of BrewDog is only about a mile away, but I like this more. It's more cozy. This feels more like an actual pub. I had the Full Steam. It's about $6 for a pint. This is one of the lighter selections. It's made with orange bitters. This isn't like many fruit flavor beers since it's not excessively sweet. It's not one of the hoppier beers. This one is pretty smooth. As for food, they don't seem to make any. There's often a food truck. It gets less of a crowd than BrewDog. Since it's much smaller it still can feel crowded. There's no parking lot right there but there's one a few blocks east.

Ridiculous. Been here an hour and still haven't received our drinks. Poor management. Cannot handle a crowd.

We were there on a Saturday late afternoon and it was not crowded. We sat at the bar. Service was…read moreexcellent and the options for beer were extensive. You can sample / taste without charge. The beer menu is creative and sound leaving little guessing to how each of them would taste. I tried and purchased the Blood Orange Cider and it was one of the best ciders I've had. I also had a 5 oz pour of the "Inch of Dust 2024" which was by far my favorite. While 10% ABV the description was spot on and I loved it. It finished sweet so not one I would drink a lot of at one time but the 5 oz pour was perfect for me. My husband had IPA and enjoyed both of the options he had. They appear to be dog friendly based on seeing two dogs there while we were inside. There is ample parking and seating with a casual vibe. We saw another couple playing a game at the bar. The industrial look / seating can be off-putting and a bit uncomfortable for some but we really did not find it challenging. The entire place is also very clean including the bathrooms. They cycle food trucks out front and do not serve food inside. We will definitely return.

Went to the Octoberfest tonight. The Chardon Polka band was performing outside. I tried the…read moreBlackberry Burst Cider and it was very flavorful and refreshing. There are several beers to try and plenty of folks were trying them. There were several food trucks there tonight. I ate at El Catrin. I had the Asian chicken taco with Chips and Guac. The taco was very tasty and had a lot of veggies. It was so good and I went back for a second one. The Guac was fresh and chunky. The chips were light and crispy. The staff at the brewery were very friendly and service was fast.

I asked around and the sound check person shown me around and said the kitchen wasn't open yet, but you can call a partnered pizza shop and have it delivered here. We went with that option. Sat back, ate some pizza, enjoyed the show.

First-time in last night to see Change it up Charlie. My husband and I where excited to find this…read morevenue, here are some thoughts; very unique atmosphere that was to our liking, good bar prices. The points we found negative...the sound was the WORST of any bar/club venue we have experienced! It is to loud but additionally the reverb was such you literally couldn't make out the words of singer. Bathroom had the best sound...possible reasons for this; the place is cavernous with concrete walls and floors and tin ceiling. Sweet Harmony please get professional sound advice to fix this! The other negative for me was...preschoolers running around (literally preschoolers) during an adult event-why.. because there was a kids birthday part happening in the party room at the same time as the concert. Parents where drinking and hanging out together while their kiddies ran about. I get and read about Sweet Harmony wanting to be a "all things venue" to the community but have some discretion and separation. We don't live in the area, live in a much more metropolitan area where this isn't acceptable or the norm and relaxing! If these last two issues weren't a factor I would have given Sweet Harmony Canal 5 stars. Hope managers are paying attention to the reviews.
