I came here to kill time and get drinks in between a wedding. It was dark, too dark. Quiet, no music, no speakers on the TV. It was awkward. No help or service. Very slow service. My friends said it took their drinks 20 minutes to arrive to them. I will not be back. I know there is so much you can control, but I will just go to another bar. I do not know if they sell food, nobody ordered anything, considering we could barely even order drinks. It was pretty dirty in there. read more

I finally made it to all 3 Pastimes Pub & Grills in Columbus!! Pastimes is by far my favorite sports bar in Columbus. Their drinks are consistent and food is by far the best bar food around. They have Bingo on Tuesday, Trivia on Wednesday and Opinion something on Thursdays. It is like family feud and trivia combined. It's pretty fun. Today, I went to trivia and got the best daily special, the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Basil Bisque. It is AMAZING and by far the best thing on the menu minus the wings. Justin, the bartender was also amazing and knew exactly what drinks we would like but I got wine since it is $3. Best deal around read more

Pastimes Pub & Grill - a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of soup - Sports Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We came for their wing deal and it was our first time here. We came on a busy night and it was a bit busy. There's tall table tops and bar seating available. the environment is busy, loud, and lively because it was a sports bar basically. There's plenty of parking in their lot and decent amount of seating inside. We got a few wing flavors that sounded good and really enjoyed the hot honey, goldfinger, and some others. The wings were made well and the wings were still juicy. The sauces were good, some more than others but overall good. I think for the price, I'd definitely come back for wing nights! Staff was nice, but service was a bit slow because they were so busy. It was a bit loud in the restaurant because of people talking and TVs on, it's a bit overwhelming. I think if you're looking for a sports bar to watch a game or have some lively interactions, this is a good place. I would recommend their wings, to have a drink, casual date, or to meet up with friends. read more

We were in Columbus for a football game at OSU. It was a night game, so we went in search for a place to eat and have a few beers before the game. I discovered Pastimes Pub and Grill on the internet because I was looking for a place that had a parking lot that was free and did not charge to park like the place that we went last night. The waitress introduced herself and made recommendations about what to eat. Pastimes also had a special for bottled Michelob Ultra, which was 5 bottles in a bucket of ice for $15! Our group went through 8 buckets while we watched an assortment of sports events on one of a dozen TV's plus the one HUGE wide screen that was at least 15+ feet wide and 10 feet high! All the food we ordered was delivered in a timely manner and we had zero complaints. The waitress was fantastic and always kept the buckets coming BEFORE we ran out! I totally recommend this place! read more

Cold beer, friendly people. Just sampled the Spicy Bleu Cheese boneless wings. Damn Good! Great music too read more

Pastimes Pub & Grill - Big selection of homemade sauces and rubs - Sports Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I go to the Memorial Tournament every year in Dublin, but always stay at the Courtyard in Worthington. Pastimes is very close, so I decided to give it a shot this year. The beer was reasonably cold. The tv setups are fantastic. Food was solid. I wanted to really like this place. However, as I looked around at the customers, which were mainly middle aged white guys, including myself, I couldn't understand the music this place kept loudly playing. Nothing but gangster Rap. I'm not sure who they think they're catering to, but the buddy I was with, looked at me and said, "I can't listen to this garbage any longer". I couldn't have agreed more. Unbelievable. Will never be back. read more

the Bartender was very rude last night and when I got my food it was cold it was to go but still should have at least been warm

It's a sports bar with 30 TVs. Shouldn't be a struggle to get the game you want on a TV somewhere. I get that not everyone knows how to change channels, but SOMEBODY at a sports bar should know. 4 of 5 times I've been there they are "all out" of at least one of the beers advertised. A few of the servers provide excellent service, but some just DNGAF. read more

I stopped by for lunch and was told I couldn't have my "dog" in the restaurant. She asked for documentation when I told the female bartender he was a service dog I tried my best to explain how the ADA works...I told her she probably wasn't trained about how it works with service dogs. I just told her to call her manager and then she would understand. She tried calling and ended up texting them. She then told me I could stay if I moved to the patio area. I told her no. She then told me she felt that I was upset with her I explained I wasn't upset. I then tried to explain how it works again and she told me that her GM told her differently and I told her the Federal law supersedes her GM she felt that I was being disrespectful towards her and refused to serve me. I was absolutely discriminated against because of her ignorance of the federal law. I would not suggest going here...I immediately reached out to management via email and was ignored! I also contacted the owner because this is a very serious violation of my rights I wanted to give him an opportunity to correct this...I refuse to let them get away with this!! read more

Pastimes is a good local and sports bar. It's fine for watching a game. There's a good happy hour. It has a good beer choice. The service is usually good enough. It has some great offers. It has a happy hour from 11 to 7. There aren't many bars more generous than that. It doesn't have a huge menu but there's some good choices. There's a few appetizers like hummus and salsa. If you're around Worthington then Pastimes would be a good sports bar. It's pretty clean. The service is pretty friendly most times. read more

If I could give +10 I would. Pastimes has become our "local" favorite. From bingo to trivia we absolutely love this place. The staff is absolutely amazing, Grace, Lisa, Kayla & Justin are phenomenal. The kitchen manager Nick is fabulous, food is delicious, menu is always changing, fresh ideas. Awesome staff, we love our Pastimes ! read more

This joint has improved over the last few months. Saturday night they had nice live music . Both the burgers and the chicken wings are good and the wing sauce selection is great read more

Pastimes Pub & Grill - Burger and tots :) very good - Sports Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This review is for carry out. We called in and the lady was very nice who took our order. We ordered 24 drum only wings. One was the mango flavor. The other was a dry rub. We also got a buffalo chicken wrap with tater tots. The wings were difficult to eat. The chicken was tough and hard to pull off the bone. I guess better than undercooked. The buffalo chicken wrap was tiny. It wasn't stuffed very much and pretty underwhelming. The tater tots were still crispy, which is impressive for a carry out order. Overall, not my favorite or best experience. read more

I love this place!! Every Thursday is Bingo night from 7-9pm it's $5.00 a game and you can win money! :) also the caller is funny and really nice. Also, can't forget the FOOD! It's amazing!! I have never tried anything but their chicken tenders and tater tots but let me say wow!! Tender, crispy, and they give you so many tots, I can never finish them. They have a monthly shot special and they are always a good thing to try. My favorite is the margarita shot, fresh and make with juices. No mix ! The staff are always great, friendly and go above and beyond. Will continue to make this space a weekly destination for me and my friends. read more

This place just opened (it used to be Gary's Place). I'll start by saying it is a really good atmosphere to watch any sporting event. It's a great local spot in the Worthington Polaris area for those of you who want to avoid the downtown crowd. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have a good variety of food (lots of bar food, but some healthy things too). They also have great drink specials too. There's always a draft special and I have to admit I always love a good shot special. I'm definitely going to be frequenting this place more often since it's so close to home. read more

Pastimes Pub & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

If you like dive bars, this is a great place to check out. They do have a decent patio if you want to get away from the noise. They have several televisions to watch sports and a juke box to play music. If you play pool, they have one pool table. They have a great wing special on Sunday, but it is for dine in only. read more

Me and my wife found this place because they were hosting a paint nite event. And we decided to stay and have drinks and food we got lemon pepper wings and salt and pepper wings we also had the loaded waffle fries. The food was awesome and hot wings were crispy just the way i like it. The drinks we ordered was long beaches it was refreshing and strong. They have happy hour here from 3-7 we only paid 4.25 for our long beaches which was well worth it. They also have tvs and pool table and junkbox and even a lottery machine. This is a place i will definitely be back to. read more

Their wings are really good. They have many flavors to choose from and Sunday is wing day which is great for the football season. They always have 2$ beer deals sometimes it's one of my favorite beers (shiner cheer) which I appreciate. They can be slow on service at times because they don't always have a full staff to wait tables and bartend but I've had a lot of great times here. If you are looking for a friendly neighborhood bar to get a few drinks and have some bar food I would recommend it. read more

In my hunt for places with wifi around Polaris that have beer and food - this was a winner. Went for lunch for an intern's first day, and at the request of a PM who loves the place. I was pleasantly surprised - the food is bar food, so not exactly anything that would wow me, but the service was attentive and fast, the drinks cold, and the wifi free. Definitely will make a point to return. read more

Excellent food, great lunch and daily specials. Happy hour from 11 to 7... $2.00 bottled domestics. Prompt and excellent service. read more

My friend was right this is a place where you go to drink. The inside can be intimidating because it's a bar, not designed for lunch or dinner. But once I sat down at a table one of the bartenders came right over. The food was pretty good, the prices are great, and the pork rinds as a side are incredible. read more

Brooklyn was AMAZ BALLS! Please check this place out if you want to eat and have a great time!

I love pastimes great neighborhood bar! I love there specials on Sunday's! Can beat 50 cent wing night! It is for dine in only. Always they have great drink specials! Stoli Vodka is always $4 everyday! That's a steal right there! The bartenders are nothing but welcoming and friendly so you feel at ease! There are two other pastimes but this one is my go to pastimes! Just has that neighborhood feel where everyone gets along and knows one another! Again great prices drinks and food! The quesadilla is by far my favorite food to get with all the vegetables and sour cream and salsa! Great outdoor patio where dogs are welcome! Big perk for in the summer time! read more

My friends and I got to Pastimes every Wednesday evening for pub trivia (part of Columbus Trivia Challenge). It's always a great time. The food, however, leaves something to be desired. Being that I go almost every Wednesday, I've had the chance to really sample the menu. The only things worth getting are the buffalo chicken dip (the dip is great, the chips are not) and maybe a personal pizza. Other than that, everything else is rather "meh." The trivia is enough to keep me coming back though...even if I do only eat some cheesy fries. read more

Nice patio and good beer selections. Some local came up and sat at our table. He was unwelcomed but didn't take the hint. Proceeded to stay for 30 mins and burped and passed gas at the table. DISGUSTING. Shows the type of people there. Eat at your own risk read more

The name Pastimes reminds me of Grandpa Simpson, sitting in his chair, talking about stuff that happened way before we were born. Then he forgets who we are or why we're there. I think Grandpa Simpson works at Pastimes. My friends and I come here pretty frequently for their Wednesday night trivia competition. We always order a little something to eat, and Grandpa Simpson always gets something wrong. It's become an inside joke for all of us, because we can never get all of our food 100% right. One week, it was a burger missing the toppings we had ordered. Another it was unrequested mushrooms all over our pizza. Frequently, the wrong beers are delivered. The best time was when I ordered the tacos. The waitress asked, "Soft or hard?" (That's What She Said, bro high-five!) I ordered the hard. I was brought, inexplicably, a single massive soft tortilla, folded burrito-style and filled with taco meat. Neither hard nor taco. You know what? We don't care. We just roll with it and see what Grandpa serves up next. read more

Tried out the wings here. Not bad. Nice crispyness. Other than the stare of death for not tipping for a pick up order on a slow day...

We stay in Columbus a few times a year and always look for new places to try. We were pleasantly surprised with Pastimes. It was a Saturday night stop and they had a live band. The music was great, the service was great and their pizza was really good. The prices are very reasonable. Where can you go on a Saturday night to enjoy live music and pay $2-$2.50 for a domestic draft? Thanks Pastimes, we will be back! read more

Nice sports bar environment. Nice wait staff. Ice cold drafts. Tater tots were cooked perfectly. Italian sub was baked too long. Cheese balls were cooked too long....cheese non existent in many. Hummus dip made too thick and full of peppers. According to our friends with us they stated the wings were large size and good and the burger was good. Next time we will eat elsewhere before we go. read more

Awful service. Bartender was sooo busy talking to regulars. Pathetic service. Cheap beer, but cant get a bartender to order. I cant believe this place stays in business with such garbage service read more

stopped in this past Saturday night, no wait, sat at the bar. very nice beer selection and decent food menu. the 2 bartenders were friendly and attentive, several TV's throughout the place. the pretzel bites appetizer was amazing, and the bacon cheeseburger with fries were cooked to perfection. Overall good experience and would return. read more

I've only been to Pastimes once, but it was sure worth it and I plan to head back soon!! Two weeks ago, one of my best friends recomended going there to watch The Ohio State University v. Wisconsin game. I took him up on his offer and we had a blast! This bar used to be called Gary's and I never really gave it much of a chance, but it's Pastimes now with a different owner. They've got a great menu with great wings and fun sports bar food. They also have a fully-stocked bar. The night I was there it was kinda crowded and noisy, but that was due to it being game night and a big game. They've got three projection TV's as well as other smaller flat-screen TV's. The bar also has a nice pool table and an outdoor cornhole area. It's alot of fun! read more

Been a few times with my husband but had horrible service one too many times. Bartenders only seem to pay attention to regulars and food is meh bar food. read more

I went here for the first time today to get some drinks with a few coworkers. I didn't have any food, so I can't say how the food is but the drinks were good (price was average). The problem was that the service was HORRIBLE. We sat at a table and our waitress was slow, but we were only ordering drinks so I assumed it would be ok for me to just go up to the bar and order another drink. When I went to the bar the lady who was working it was extremely rude, she gave me a mean look and repeatedly told me that it wasn't her job to take my order (even after I apologized). She even slammed the beer I ordered down in front of me (hard)! Considering that there are bunch of other reviews complaining about the service, I do not think this was a one time thing. I would rather relax in a friendly environment! read more

Great environment with everything you expect in a good pub. All the food is good, but the wings are among the best in the area.

One of Worthingtons best kept secrets. Good beer selection, good bar food and great service. I stumbled upon it a few months back and now make a point to eat and/or drink there once a week. read more

I come here often. Super quick walk from my apt. Better than avg bar service. Bartender Haley (sp?) pour d an amazing Guinness...even after I asked her RUDELY if she knew how to pour a Guinness. read more

Atmosphere is fun and the service is good! Food is alright and there isn't a ton of seating for games.

We went for my birthday and the food was absolutely delicious! Service was great too. Thank you for a great experience!!

WhT a fantastic time we had Wednesday. The Giants won the series, of course, but the atmosphere and the staff were awesome. Wes and crew are attentive and great company. Recommended for sports viewing and trivia night. In all honesty, Wednesday's special of fried bologna was a bit of a shock to my West Coast system, but the tater tots were fantastic!!! read more
