Great vibe & great beer! Our first stop in Columbus, and we loved it! Great location, great beer, great food, great people, you just can't go wrong! Come for a visit! Highly recommended!

Flight
Renee S.

Walked in to an "alive space". There is a nice outdoor patio too! Sat at the bar. Only one bartender so it took a little while to be served. But not too bad. I arrived just after the peak of brunch service. Second bartender showed up shortly after. Had a flight and the beer was delicious. Since it was still brunch service I got the Barría Hash with the poached egg. I really liked the additional of pickled onions and cilantro. To me the more pickled onions the better so I would've loved more. I do not salt my food but this dish felt like it needed salt. If I'm saying that it needs it. The meat is fall apart tender and the potatoes are tender.

Tri-Color Carrots

Amazing service, food and beer today at Nocterra Brewing Company at Audubon Park. From the moment we walked in the front door, we were greeted and taken care of. We were given time to review the menu make our selections. I started with a flight sampling of five of their beers, and my friend had a chai tea. We also went with appetizers of the tricolor carrots, and the bowl of fries . Then our main dish I went with the Vermonter turkey club, which was amazing with the side salad truly one of the best sandwiches and side salads I've ever tasted. Great portion, great food & great service and what a cool location in the middle of a city of Columbus Park only wish it was a nicer day so we could've gotten out and explored the park too definitely will return on a nice day to enjoy both again.

Out door seating and fire pit

Great place to take in the views of downtown Columbus. Great decor inside with outside seating available. I was expecting typical bar food. How wrong I was. Fresh food not your typical everything dropped in oil. The Bartender Carolyn was amazing. She was very attentive to our needs and was full of history and the story behind this establishment. Can't wait to return soon.

This is a huge brewpub located inside a city park. We chose to eat/drink here just to check out the unusual location, but we were pleasantly surprised by how good (and elevated) the food is here. The beers are also quite good. You order using your phone by scanning a unique QR code at every table. Once you submit your order, your drink comes out almost immediately and your food is not far behind.

Birria grilled cheese

If you haven't been to Nocterra Brewing Co. yet, you are seriously missing out. This place hits the trifecta of great drinks, incredible food, and a vibe that's hard to beat. The Drinks & Food While they are known for their top-tier brews, the cocktails were an absolute standout--perfectly balanced and creative. As for the food, it's not your average "bar food." * The Wings: Crispy, saucy, and served with fresh celery and a killer dipping sauce. * The Main Course: I had the birria grilled cheese perfectly golden-brown crunch!) paired with a fresh salad topped with goat cheese and nuts. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and high-quality. The upstairs bar offers a cool, bird's-eye view of the Bloc Garden, making the whole experience feel open and energetic. Whether you're a craft beer nerd, a cocktail lover, or just someone looking for a great meal in a cool setting, Nocterra is the place to be. Can't wait to go back!

Really nice venue, plenty of parking, large expansive inside with available seating upstairs. Good brews and coffee is available. They have food, but we did not partake. Service or lack thereof was a bit disappointing. They were busy and appeared to be understaffed. I won't hold it against them.

The food here was sooo good. Highly recommend the side salad. Service was great. Everyone was super friendly. We ate on the patio with our cockatoo. Nice relaxing atmosphere.

Love that it is in the park which makes it easy to visit after hanging out! Their coffee could use a bit of work so it is more consistent and would love for them to offer additional vegan items. They do have some options but also they have many vegetarian options that so easily could be vegan which would also provide cheaper snack options.

Had some good beer and an awesome bon slider thing. It was very tasty. A plus is you can order everything from your phone at your table, get it delivered to you and pay your tab as well. There was some good music playing the whole time too. Nice chill stop for a couple beers and a snack on our way home from vacation.

Really fun brewery! My friend and I came here after rock climbing and had a blast! I was most impressed by the food. It's rare to find a brew pub with gluten free options that are also delicious! My friend can't eat gluten so she enjoyed the tacos and a seltzer which were both great! I enjoyed the beer even though nothing blew me away. Really solid IPAs and some experimental beers which is always nice to see. The service was prompt as well. The thing that stole the show was the ambiance! What a cool space with fun at! They even have a loft for events! I would definitely come back in the future if I'm in town.

Chris B.

Found this place near German village in Audubon park. They have great IPA selection among several other offerings. They have a frig full of take home beers. The beer for my taste are worth the stop in for a few . Service was great.

Loveee this spot! First enjoyed the decor and the fact that it's connected to the rock climbing gym. The second floor has views to the gym so it's perfect to grab a bite to eat or a drink with friends after a day at the park or climbing. I finally had a chance to eat here and was very happy with the Nocterra burger! I'm not much of a burger girl unless it's vegan or turkey, but I was craving for some red meat and they didn't disappoint! The patty is thin so it wasn't overbearing and extremely flavorful. I ordered the side salad which was a perfect portion and very delicious! I ate the entire plate and didn't feel full or "heavy", which is exactly my style. Recommend this spot if you're in the park or want to make a whole day of it with family and friends! Also, you have to order using the QR code and the staff will come and drop it off; so don't expect someone to come to your table once you find a spot. They were friendly and checked in on us.

My son, brother and I visited on 10/9/26, a Friday night. We were lucky enough to get bar seating…read moresince the restaurant was fully booked. It was perfectly lit with enough lighting to read the menu but dim enough for a cool ambiance. The bartender we had, along with the rest of the staff, were extremely pleasant and made us feel more than welcome. My brother and I sampled a couple of the beers and enjoyed both. For the real winner of the night, let's talk about the food. My son ordered the steak with sweet potato and enjoyed it. My brother also enjoyed his fish and chips. But the big winner was the gnocchi with mushrooms and onions. I could not stop audibly moaning about how good it was. Perfectly tender gnocchi in a wonderfully rich sauce. It was so good that it made me do something that I haven't done in 47 years of life, order a second entree. I got another order and ate that one as well and it was just as good as the first. For a wonderful evening full of great food and a good atmosphere, stop into Wolf's Ridge Brewing. You won't be dissapointed.

We missed the dining room, so if you do want to dine, make sure you arrive when they offer service…read more We went down to the tap room. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the beer. The venue itself was fantastic, lots of room, great vibe, and a big projector screen if you want to watch a game or something. We'd recommend it, and would return to check out the dining room whenever back in town.

Antiques on High was one of our favorite brewery stops during this trip…read more When I first suggested stopping at Antiques on High, my significant other kept saying he didn't want to go antique shopping. Once he realized it was actually a brewery, he was all in! The brewery has a great atmosphere, and the bartender was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Since we've been visiting several breweries during our getaway, they even gave us a Seventh Son passport, which was a nice surprise and a fun way to continue exploring the local brewery scene. I ordered the Wild & Sour flight and really enjoyed it. It was a great way to sample a variety of unique flavors, and each pour showcased the creativity and quality that Antiques on High is known for. Between the excellent beer selection, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely a brewery I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area. Looking forward to stopping back again!

They have a beautiful space with a nice bar, seat yourself tables, and a fun space upstairs and outdoor balcony. They also have a pizza truck out back that you can order from. The pizzas have a neopolitan or deep dish crust. The pizza was really yummy. The bartenders were attentive and made suggestions to drinks. This is a great chill bar. I went on a weekday and it was quiet. After dinner it was nice to walk around German Village and enjoy the houses and brick streets.

Loved the reviews and pix so it was a no brainer to go. Use the $5 valet or take your chances finding street parking. Their lot is small so be aware. But the valet guys were really cool and friendly. We didn't know they had made reservations upstairs so we went to the patio downstairs. That area is open seating so wait for an open table and jump on it. Looked really relaxing there. Then we were escorted upstairs to a very nice restaurant and bar. So inviting and laid back. You relax immediately. Got seated and were brought water so we could have some time looking over the menu. So many cool choices. Drink combinations you never have seen before and can't wait to try. I think my first one was the boulevardier. Really clear square ice cube enhanced the flavors. Second one was the paper airplane. Again delicious combinations of ingredients made it really exciting to sip. Thought we were only doing appetizers but we didn't want the evening to end so we got dinner. Never have I thought about putting thin slices of green apple on a grilled cheese. But I will now. My wife got the hummus appetizer and I got to try it. Yum! Can't wait to get friends to go back with us!

Order at the counter and they will bring you your food. I enjoyed my side salad with grilled chicken. The salad was crisp and fresh. I definitely want to return with my husband and try several shareable appetizers and drinks in the evening. Restroom was spotless. Parking was tight but I did find a spot to park in.

I visit Columbus/Dublin a couple of times a year for work. I walked in from the rain with a…read moreco-worker on a Wednesday night a little after 9:00pm - after trying to visit "No Soliciting". "No Soliciting " is a bar we found online - but didn't realize is a private club for members only. We tried The Pearl next door. They were closing in minutes. So we found that North High was the next closest place that closed at 10:00pm. We were also desperate for a restroom. We walked in - the place was devoid of customers - and the bar tender was NOT happy to see us. She had a very long day - and was yearning to "Just. Go. Home." We've all been there. She agreed to let us have one drink in plastic cups - completely understandable. But she messed up by letting us stay - completely underestimating the level of style & charm (not to mention handsomeness) my colleague and I possess *wink* . "One drink" turned into a handful. A good time was had by all. We hated that we had an early morning the next day - and had to return to our hotel well before we would have liked. I will make North High a "mandatory stop" on future visits (alongside my other "mandatory stop" - The Rusty Bucket for their buffalo chicken sandwich - with an extra side of buffalo). Side note - she gave me a taste of their Bloody Mary mix. *VERY* good. I used some of my dashing character and disarming baby blues to swindle them out of a bottle for only $15. It was worth $50. But this was a one-off deal. Don't walk in there expecting the same courtesy - unless you too possess unmatched panache & flair *finger guns*.

We went today for Father's Day, about six months after the last sub par experience, hoping it would be better. Somehow they ran out of chicken again?! AND lemonade, and they had no kids menus left. Food took forever. I ordered a glass of wine that never arrived - and when we got our check it's just a tablet with a price. We wanted to leave so I didn't even check to see if the wine was still on there. Food was cold, salad was soggy, burger was very meh. For $150 it was overall a bad experience for the second time in a row. Definitely spend your money at any of the other local restaurants in town.
