Found another one! Little gem of a dive bar in Obetz. Thursday is 99 cent wings, 8 minimum order. Naked and extra crisp sized with Mild Garlic and blue cheese on the side. Also tried the battered fish and fries. The wings...solid. Fried the way I like with the right amount of sauce. Top 5 wing easily. The shocker was the fish and the Cole slaw! Soooo good! The slaw was like (but better) than KFC, which I love. The fresh cut fries were also crazy good with a shape that can only be described as overgrown Elephant Man toenails lol. But in a good way! All washed down with a Sonder IPA. This was a lot of food for the money. The vibe was also cool here. Variety of folks and everyone cool. Pool tables in the back with classic rock playing. Just a really good experience with awesome food. I'll definitely stop back when I'm working in the area. Man I need to take a small cup of this Cole slaw with me. For real. read more

Picked this place based on the reviews and food did not disappoint. Get the wings if you visit. Wings live up to the hype. They don't tell you the chips that are standard are a bag of Ruffles. Pay the extra to upgrade to fries. read more

Service depends on the night and the staff. The fries are way too good and is on the top of my list for cheesy bacon fries. Pretty big wings and you can have them naked or breaded. No blockers on artists or genres on music so that's a plus. Two pool tables and an outdoor patio. Parking lot needs lots of TLC. read more

This is a fun little dive bar with all the atmosphere of a dive bar. I love bar food and read a review that said the chicken wings were amazing, so we gave it a try. My friend and I got the appetizer sampler. She got boneless wings and I got traditional naked wings. My wings looked freezer burnt. They were small and the sauce that was supposed to be Cajun honey was just sweet tasting. No spice. The fried mushrooms were good and the poppers were decent. She had cheese curds with hers which were weird little cubes. Not curds, but still not bad. Her potato skins were just ok and her boneless wings were super tiny. I would definitely not go here for the food, but the drinks were cheap and strong and the bar tenders were super sweet. read more

Small selection but great quality ! Nice small atmosphere Pub/ bar vibes Service was good read more

New to Columbus and this is my new favorite dive. The people are unmatched. If you are looking to see a game and have good drinks/excellent food... come here. You will be loved on and welcomed. I sat at the bar and enjoyed everything was a 10/10. I will be back weekly if not more often. read more

Love the wings and the Rueben always have a good experience. The staff is always friendly and timely service

Fantastic atmosphere. Looking for a dive bar? It was great. Never seen anything so fun and caring for the people there.

We have been to Lovell's Tavern several times now. I must admit the outsise looks a little rough but, the food has always been very good. The Philly Beef sandwich is excellent and loaded fries are great. The service is good and the employees are very nice. It is our new place for lunch. Give it a try, I'm sure you will like it. 5 Stars! read more

WHOOAAAA!! If you like chicken wings, this place is LEGIT. It is the definition of a hole in the wall bar. The customer service was fantastic (Kalee was our bartender and was great), the patrons were super friendly, they have two pool tables (they looked as if they were in pretty bad shape), electronic darts, a bowling and putt putt game, TouchTunes and Keno. Okay, NOW onto the wing review! HOLY MOLY! We have a contender for the top wing spot in Central Ohio!!! I ordered five Spicy Garlic and five Cajun Honeay (all flat and extra crispy of course). The chicken was super fresh, the flavor and spice were on point, and the wings weren't that greasy. My only complaint is that they could have been more crispy. I have said this before, if you have a good product, have good ranch! Make it house made! Oh yeah, and their Truth IPA was super fresh. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! The Spicy Garlic and Cajun Honeay: 9.4/10 Ranch: 5.1/10 For all of you who rave about Shaker's, Mean Mugs, Pastimes, Roosters and Blu-Willy's, trust me when I say that those places don't even compare to this place, and you need to make the drive to Lovell's to check it out. I take my reviews very seriously and I believe I gave Shakers a 5.1/10, Mean Mugs 8.1/10, Blu-Willy's drums 2.1/10 and their flats a 7.3/10, and Roadhouse a 9.3/10. Onto the BONUS Review: I tried the pizza since I saw a couple of tables order it. 6.5/10 read more

If you are looking for a small town American tavern that has some of the best damn wings this is your spot. I'm sure the regulars don't want this place to be discovered. As a simple man that loves great food I found this little place to be a gem in a bigger city. You had the regulars sitting elbow to elbow at the bar drinking and having a great time but when a keg needed changed they helped the young lady behind the bar. She greeted me with can I get you a drink? I replied yes she followed up with "would you like some really good food?" She wasn't lying. I ordered 10 wings (89 cent wings on Tuesday ) and loaded fries. You do have to pay a little extra for breaded but they were not thick breading it was just enough to hold the sauce. The loaded fries looked like some kind of curly steak fry and I'm telling you it worked!! If you don't care for loud music, lack of ambience, and locals having a good time then Applebees is probably more of your vibe. But if you want good people fantastic food and cold beer man don't sleep on this spot. I went last night and am considering going back today! Only thing is I wish the hot sauce on the wings was hotter. read more

Best wings in Columbus. Service is great. Unmatched atmosphere!! I got the multiple flavors of the wings and all the sauces were amazing as well as the texture of the wings! If you have not tried it yet do yourself a favor and go get them! read more

Best wings that I know of. Spicy Garlic is my fave. I get them breaded but it's a very light breading. Not like Roosters. Very good pizza and I love the Rueben too. You can split the Rueben with another person. It's big. read more

Our first time based on the Yelp ratings. It's your basic dive-bar. Food was actually really good. Had the Reuben with a bag of chips. Came out hot, which was great. I would have given it 5-stars...but there was a 'regular' patron that was vaping inside at her table AND another that was standing by the pool table smoking. I'm not a smoker and just don't enjoy the smell while I'm eating. read more

Very good lunch. Cool tavern with good food and great service. Wish I had time to stay for a couple beers. I would recommend and would definitely go back. I had the Blue and Bacon burger and cheese sticks. All good and hot and served quickly. read more

food is hands down the best in obetz. this is where I'll be eating from now on! Great service. Friendly environment. Wonderful food!!!

This was a pleasant experience. I wasn't expecting much since it was a tiny bar, but I enjoyed myself. We were on our way to Vance's and wanted some pizza. We seen this pop up on Google and thought we'd give it a try. The blonde waitress was very friendly and helpful. We ended up getting the large with double pepperoni and easy on the cheese. Man, that was delicious. I want more already and I just had some yesterday. I think they could use a little bit of light in there because it was pretty dark. I will be back. If you're nervous like me about scuffing up your rims, be careful of their parking lot. It needs some attention. Other than that, I can't wait to come back and try their wings. read more

some of the best wings in columbus. the place is very unassuming but don't let that stop you from going on. the staff is great and accommodating; the food is on point; and you get to do a little keno while you wait or eat. must try if you like wings and that is the only thing I have tried so far. read more

The ambiance is not much. It is a little dive bar but I believe they have the best wings in Columbus. All of their food that I have had is very good, but I love the wings. Servers are good and so are the drinks. read more

Their food is awesome! Their chicken wings are perfect for when you have that chicken wing itch. Honestly, I haven't ordered anything I haven't liked from there. read more

Excellent food and service! Stopped in while waiting on a flight that was delayed. Gotta try the wings!!

Have only picked up pizza but we visit regularly. It's one of the better pizzas in the area. One (or two) sizes straight forward consistently tasty. Average crust and tasty sauce. read more

Yikes. Maybe I'm spoiled by good bars. The pint of the one local beer was cold so there's one star. Service was good. One star. Atmosphere doesn't get one. Music was horrible. Wings on my neighbors plate looked good but I couldn't tell ya. Plus: there's a liquor retail next door but their craft selection was bad too. I decided my hotel room was a better option as I'm just stopping through. I won't be back read more

Great service and good food !! Wings are the best in town!! I work in Obetz..so I swing by there on fridays for carryout!!

Saturday, March 30th, a gathering of MSU lacrosse parents found ourselves at Lovell's Tavern before the game. The service was quick and friendly. The food was excellent....loved the wings! Beer was cold. Had a great time! read more

4 visits to date. 2 lunch carryout's, and 2 dine in dinners. It's not very inviting from the outside. Brick building with unmarked doors. Sign out front near the road. The shared parking lot is a maze of pothole maneuvering. I would be interested to see how the parking pattern lays out on a busy evening with no marked parking lines. Lots of cigarette butts line the front exterior. It's obvious staff and regulars push out the pool room door to smoke out front. There is a standard fenced in patio for smokers, but I have not been out there. The interior is standard long wall bar, with jukebox, tables, pool tables, and games. I'm happy to say that there is not an odor of foul drains, or foul fabric. Yes it could use a facelift, but they don't give off the impression that they want to be the family ready VFW. They have multiple food and alcohol specials posted for each individual day. I also notice that they have a lottery or gambling machine. Lunch subs are a good value for their volume size. A nice value for what you get. The potato chips are standard with ridges, not homemade. But they are a generous portion. My co-workers also have enjoyed their variety selection of sandwiches. My current favorite is the Philly Steak(add banana peppers). I'm sure it's standard "Steak 'em" meat that most others use. The rolls were never hard or stale. The pizza oven does a nice job finishing the hot meals. I shared a pizza and wings also. the wings were not on the skimpy size. The sauce tasted like Franks Wing Sauce. The pizza was a nice thin crispy crust. I can't remember if I ordered it that way, or if it's standard. The pepperoni was tasty, but the sauce was a little on the sweet side for my taste. The pitcher of draft was on special for that evening, and the cocktail was a decent pour without choking on the alcohol. I think lunch take out is great, and I will continue to keep them in rotation for meeting friends on our way to Scioto Downs for outdoor concerts. read more

Lovell's Tavern - Philly cheesesteak was over-flowing with meat, cheese & veggies. Meat a bit dry. #upclosesavor - Pubs Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Kale, is the best waitress you can ask 4!!!! The drinks are on point, and the food is just as great. Tuesday's is .60 cents and you can eat good for little to nothing. Also they have really good pizza as well!!. Drinks are fierce. Had the Long Beach really good. Definitely will be back read more

Love this place always fun best long island iced teas in Columbus and at a great price. I always have fun when I stop in. I have it a 3 only because there is one bar tender that always seems to have an issue with my credit card. Three times now. Will tell me it didnt go through then want another credit card. I give her another card with a puzzled look on my face she runs it, it goes through, I sign then go and look at my 1st card she said was declined and the charges are on there twice. Plus the other card is charged. I go back the next day to try and find out what is going on and no one knows anything. So I the 3 drinks and get a 36.00 bill. No one willing to assist me to get my money back. I dont go when that bartender is working, I cant afford drinks that expensive. read more

They are always the best!! I count in them for my wings!! They also have excellent service as welll!!

Came here on Tuesday for 60 cent wings and was delighted at how much more I liked it than I expected to! The wings and service were awesome!

Passing through the Columbus area (Obetz), here for one night and looking for a draft Blue Moon. Found it along with some fantastic Wings and Nachos! The wings are hand breaded or you can get them naked. On Tuesdays, they are 60 cents (instead of 1.00) each. Your choice of several sauces. The best we've had! The nachos were excellent as well, crispy with beer cheese and sour cream. We would definitely come back. Oh - don't expect anything too fancy. Just good food and cold beer. read more

Great food and great people, best bar on the southeast side of Columbus. Great place to watch a buckeye game.
