The Monet was delicious. Service was prompt and helpful. Wait to get a seat was minimal.

Special

Needed a gift card from this highly praised restaurant so decided to do our own taste test while we were there. The restaurant was nicely decorated in wooden trim and everyone had to leave their mark on the wood. They even offered a sharpie so it showed up. Service was so friendly and welcoming. We got great advice on what pizza to order and what size. Both were spot on. The crust was amazing and the Monte Christo was the perfect flavor for us. We also wanted leftovers-who doesn't with pizza? The Thai wings were cooked just right and we also had enough for leftovers in the air fryer at home. What a great meal. Can't wait to return when in Columbus.

Breadsticks and cheese

We love the campus location of Mother Bears. We were visiting another store and saw they opened a Columbus location. The service was great. We were able to sit in the bar on a busy day. During lunchtime. It doesn't have the same feel as the campus location, but the food is just as good. We went with two lunch pizzas and an order of breadsticks. It was a great value and tasted wonderful. We will definitely be back.

10" Palermo Pizza!

The place is very mellow with an amazing atmosphere! The Pizza is amazing as was the stuffed mushrooms we had. A great menu with lots of sandwiches and reasonably priced. And the service was excellent! I look forward to checking out some other menu items!

It's open! We came on a Sunday at lunch time. It was very busy but we sat right down at the bar. We split the Mother Bear Special (10" pizza, salads or breadsticks and sodas for $21) and an order of wings. The wings were fresh, crispy, saucy, and meaty. The pizza (regular pan pepperoni) was perfectly cooked with delicious bits of burned cheese on the sides. I saw pasta and grinders coming out of the kitchen that looked delicious so those are next on our list. Service was fast and friendly. They had a ton of people in the kitchen and serving staff - all were working very hard! Seems like a great run place. Parking was a bit difficult but I'm glad Nexus Park is growing.

10 inch lunch special is a great deal. Salads took a little time coming out but pizza came out in expected amount of time.

So my dad REALLY REALLY wanted to go to Columbus Bar - when he lived there in the late 60s and…read moreearly 70s, this was the place to go for a pork tenderloin sandwich. So when we got to Columbus, we headed here first. It's basically a dive bar with a little restaurant attached, which is super fun. The server was super friendly and helpful - he got us seated and grabbed drinks immediately. My dad obviously knew what he wanted, but the rest of us needed a moment. Go for the fried pickles! They were so good that we didn't even have a chance to take a pic. The breading was super flavorful and crunchy, and if you're a fan, definitely get them. Half of us got the pork tenderloin sandwich, the others got fish and chips. Everything was really good - I liked them both, and they were both accompanied by great French fries. Enjoyable spot for lunch!

We used to go to Columbus Bar often when we lived in that town many years ago. Going back for a…read morevisit, DH wanted to get to Columbus Bar for his much remembered and enjoyed tenderloin sandwich. 5 of us went I for lunch and it pretty much looks the same as it did. We ordered 3 tenderloin sandwiches and two fish and chips lunches. Lunch was underwhelming. The meat on the sandwiches wasn't dry or tough, but, there was no seasoning to speak of and therefore, pretty tasteless. Salt, ketchup, pickles, hot sauce, these were the condiments used by those three diners to give their sandwiches some flavor. Sad. The fish and chips were good. The fish needs salt, which is a whole lot better than being overly salty. And the fries were well salted and very good. The beer selection is good and all the beer drinkers enjoyed their drinks. Service was excellent and we enjoyed meeting our server. Nice young man who was friendly and pleasant.

Would I recommend coming here for food? No. Would I recommend coming here for cheap drinks? Yes…read more My husband and I went here last night for dinner after going down to Columbus to watch our niece play her volleyball tournament. They were packed and had trivia going on, but they still had plenty of places to sit inside and on the small patio. We had wanted to sit outside since the weather was nice, so we grabbed a table in the corner on the patio (it is a seat yourself establishment). After a while, a server came over to get our drink orders and we each ordered a water. I asked for a Bud Light on draft, which was listed on their menu, but he told me they only have it bottles and just had Michelob Ultra on draft that was similar. No problem, we each ordered one of those. Some time passed and I saw our server come out onto the patio, look at us, and promptly spin around to go back inside. A couple minutes later he returned with our waters and an apology about the beers taking a long time because "the bartender was too busy talking." I got more of the impression that he forgot to put in our order at all, hence the quick turnaround to get waters when he realized he never came back to our table. We put in our food orders in the meantime- I ordered the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries and my husband ordered the roast beef sandwich with sweet potato fries. Drinks came out eventually and were huge/ice cold, which was nice. The food also came out within 10 minutes, which we had initially been happy about because we were so hungry and we still had an hour drive back to Indy. However, my Reuben sandwich had huge, thick chunks of meat vs thinly sliced beef and it was extremely hard to take bites of and took a long time to chew. I had to keep using my hands to rip pieces off the sandwich. There was also hardly any sauerkraut on it. My husband's roast beef sandwich had very little roast beef and absolutely no flavor, but was supposed to have a kick from the horseradish sauce. The sweet potato fries were good though, they just had a little too much salt on them. Overall, we had mixed reviews with our visit. Our beers were only $5.50 each, so that was a crazy good price. Not sure if it's just for trivia night or always like that. Several times throughout our visit we kept getting hit with the smell of cigarette smoke because the patio is off the main sidewalk and no one monitors that people are actually far enough away from the building. Super unpleasant. This is definitely a fun place to meet friends for drinks, but I'd pass on the sandwiches and see if other menu options are better.

We absolutely love this local watering hole. Good bar food, and great beer and cocktail selection…read more I particularly love the energy of the spot as it's always buzzing with a fun upbeat environment. There is no bad seat in the house, and the patio is fantastic. Service has always been very helpful and friendly. Even the first time we went we felt as if we have been coming for years. Can't wait to come back Awesome trivia and karaoke here as well!
