    Tacos and tamales.

    We went in for the first time, to watch soccer and the Buckeye game. We sat at the bar and there are enough TVs to make everyone happy! The menu was very nice but as a vegan, although they had a burger and a hotdog, I wanted something different. The chef came out to speak to me and, wow, he made me the best spicy vegan quesadilla ever. They have vegan cheese and sausage and the presentation was fantastic. Overall, the service was fantastic, food was noteworthy and the atmosphere was fun! For a little stripmall, dive bar, this place was great! We'll be back. :)

    Spacious neighborhood bar with the real hidden treasure being the Ambassador brand being in the kitchen. With 18 beers on draft and a wide variety of liquors, there's something for everyone here. Daily food and beverage specials ensures you don't need to break the bank to come here. Pointe Tavern has something for everyone!

    The Pointe is a great little neighborhood bar where you check your ego at the door. My friends and I have been frequenting this bar for almost eight years now and it's nice to see that some things never change. You'll see construction workers with lawyers with landscapers with State Representatives. It's not the fanciest of establishments --I've still failed to see a single drink served in a martini glass-- but the regulars are friendly, the prices are super cheap, and it's a great launching point for the rest of the night's activities. There are three pool tables, three steel-tipped dartboards, Golden Tee, two pinball machines and a digital jukebox. They used to have domestic buckets of six beers for $10, but the price has been raised to $11. It's a great spot to bring your friends but if you've had a few too many and need to call a cab, I'd suggest calling Blue Cab. Given the odd location on 33 in Upper Arlington, it once took Yellow Cab and Bobcat over 1+ hours to pick us up. Blue has been the only reliable cab company we could get to show up.

    A dark and grubby bar with a crazy loud jukebox, cranky bartenders and a rough crowd that all smell like cigarettes. Really awful.

My friend was obviously shaken up and when we asked the owner about it. We were met with aggressiveness and a lack of empathy regarding the matter. There was no genuine apology offered when the situation was witnessed. And when we asked to speak with her she approached us with irritation. And let us know she's not sure what else she wants us to do because she already comped her drinks. When I proceeded to ask if she was okay with said behavior from this man, she aggressively responded and continued to show a lack patience or empathy. She was very aware of the matter because her bartender requested for something to be comped, but failed to acknowledge the concern as a business owner directly to her customers. As if we didn't experience something personally violating and traumatic, while she was only a few feet away. And also was seen engaging with said man; prior to allegedly requesting them to leave. I'm deeply disappointed in my experience and I would not recommend any business here.

They offer a variety of drinks and food items, which you can enjoy while playing games. You can order at the bar or through the wait staff that comes around to take orders. The drinks were very festive, like the golden dragon, which had shimmering edible glitter in it, and the bunny shot, which was served in a chocolate bunny. I got to try lots of boardgames like 3D blockus, hues and cues, and attempted to play wingspan (although we didn't get to it because it's a long game!) They even had a stage area, which would be great for performances. Will be back to enjoy their food next time! The only thing to note is that their parking is limited and most of the surrounding lots have tow warning signs on them so carpooling would be good if you're going with a big group!
