    The infamous cider mule: RUN, DO NOT WALK TO GET THIS
    Brenna G.

    Okay, first, let us talk about how adorable this place is: I am all about the outside of the building, they did great with the vibes and when you walk in, this place is cute, chill and welcomes everybody, what more could you ask for?! Y'all, it's 2022, let's support local already, you will not regret coming here, sign yourself up for a fun, perfect night!! I assure you will leave with a smile on your face. The decorations are unique and fun. The bartenders did amazing on making my cocktails, as you know they can be a hit or miss. The cider mule they made for me is definitely my top five favorite drink in Columbus, especially after living here for eight years!

    Good deals on drinks. Cute little queer dive bar. Definitely caters more to the 30+ crowd. Service is friendly.

    I was very impressed, and I can't find any negatives, so five stars…read more I've heard they have good wings here, but I just had wings yesterday, and with the bitter cold I was in a pierogi mood, and I've heard those are good as well. Street parking, which is a problem with all the snow so be careful, but also a good sized parking lot out back. It's in an old house, and it feels like a neighborhood bar. Woody, warm, some TVs with games playing. Plenty of tables, and another room in the back so more room than you might think. Plus, it looks like you can go upstairs. I think the bartender was by himself, so I tried to make it a little easier on him. But he was doing a good job keeping up, with food and drinks. Super friendly and helpful. There's a lot of interesting stuff on the menu, but I knew I wanted pierogi, and then I saw the garlic green beans and went for them. I'm glad I did. They came out perfectly cooked, not overdone, with garlic, lemon juice, and some blue cheese dressing on the side. Very good. The pierogies were excellent. I don't think they make them here, but they fry them up well here, with onions, mushrooms, and sour cream on the side. Very, very good comfort food. All for like $12 total. I only got four pierogi, but they were big and there were plenty of green beans. Get more pierogi if you're hungry. But seriously, even with a substantial tip I was out of there for well under $20 and full. Definitely will be back.

Kind, personable, and genuinely warm exactly the kind of energy that makes a meal feel like more than just a meal. If you've seen The Menu, you know that scene where all anyone really wants is just a perfect, unpretentious burger done right. Thurman's is exactly that. The burger was everything it needed to be no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just a beautifully made sandwich that delivers on every level. The fries? Equally on point. Honestly, I have no notes. None. This is the kind of place that reminds you why simple food, done exceptionally well, will always win. If you haven't been, go. If you have, you already know.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I am so glad we stopped. Parking can be a pain as it is all street parking and there are 2 coffee shops and two restaurants basically next door. With parking aside, we were stopped in and was greeted as soon as we walked in and then taken to a seat. The bar staff handles all tables and the bar. This place isn't huge and the lobby hold as many people as the seats and the bar. So plan accordingly. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant was clean as well. We ordered drinks. And our burgers and sides. The burger is literally at 3/4 pound burger. I took half home as it is a big burger. The fries were perfectly done fresh cut fries. These are not frozen bag fries. This burger was one of the best I have had. The fries are also very very good. Highly recommend. If you are anywhere near here and want a good burger why are you not here yet.

    *This review is based on a Thursday during Happy Hour*…read more Overview: *Food Quality: Small portions but each bite is flavorful and fresh. Very much tasting, not necessarily to get full *Service: Friendly, attentive, but not hovering *Ambiance: Clean, quite during happy hour, however, starts to fill up as the evening continues. * Menu: Limited happy hour menu, don't expect a full menu, but what they offer is done well Must Order: * Sticky Roasted Carrots. I don't like carrots and I couldn't stop grabbing a piece Drinks: * The Sycamore Old Fashion... very strong, but I like strong drinks Cost: $33 w/o tip | $44 with tip (split between 2 people) * What we ordered: Sticky carrots Meze Scallops (not on happy hour menu) The Sycamore Old Fashion Italian 90 *Comes with complimentary bread. Also, gluten free options* Best for: Casual check in Low key date maybe if you work near German Village. Traffic during happy hour is a bit backed up I wouldn't go for solo dining, unless I sat outside during warmer weather. However, the feeling is best for a quick get together with 1-2 friends. Would I come back? ... Yes! Definitely for Happy Hour.

It was the perfect spot for a relaxed, drawn-out dinner where we could enjoy drinks, take our time, and really soak it all in. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which set the tone for the night. Everyone ordered cocktails (I've heard the espresso martini is one of their best, even though coffee isn't really my thing), and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the drink menu. We started with the Meze, which included house-made falafel, tzatziki, hummus, sun-dried tomato couscous, assorted vegetables, and naan--everything was fresh and so flavorful. They also brought out complimentary focaccia right away, which was such a nice touch. For my main, I ordered the seasonal scallops, and I also tried the chicken thighs with fig, goat cheese, asparagus, parmigiano reggiano, and couscous--both were absolutely amazing. I'd go back in a heartbeat just to try more of the menu. We were there for about 2-3 hours, and at no point did we feel rushed or like we were inconveniencing the staff. The entire experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and just really special. Highly recommend The Sycamore for your next date night or girls' dinner!

While we are on the topic of drinks our friends ordered margaritas... the drinks tasted like the mix was a concentrate and hadn't been diluted. Their faces almost turned inside out from the sourness. The acoustics in the restaurant make even the quietest table seem loud. It was crowded so it was so loud we couldn't hear each other from across the table. Calamari and shrimp was the best ting we ate.

    I stopped in for Burger Wednesday and ordered the double smash burger with fries…read more Food: The burger was flavorful and seasoned really well without being overly salty. The toppings were fresh, the grilled onions added great flavor, and the bun stayed soft without getting soggy while I ate. The fries were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and the portion was huge--there were more fries than I could finish. They were so good I didn't even need ketchup. Service: I sat at the bar, and the service was excellent. The waitress was friendly, prompt, and attentive throughout my visit. At one point, while the bartender was helping other customers, she noticed I needed napkins and brought them over without me having to ask. It's little things like that that make a difference. Atmosphere: The ambiance was really nice. There were TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great place to relax and catch a game. They also have outdoor seating available, although I chose to sit inside. The atmosphere was comfortable, welcoming, and somewhere I could easily see myself returning. The burger was cooked a little more medium than I personally prefer, but that's on me because I didn't ask for it to be cooked well done. The burger was still juicy and flavorful. For $10, the value is outstanding. Great food, great service, generous portions, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Menu is a slightly elevated bar food selection coupled with a nice selection of beers and cocktails. Prices seemed to be competitive with other similar venues. We all passed on apps and went straight to the mains. Most ordered a sandwich or burger while I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese. My dinner was delicious. A rich and cheesy baked concoction with a few lumps of lobster meat mixed in and flavoring the entire dish. All the guests cleaned their plates with relish. Simple platings with no special attention given to plate presentation. The dinners came out staggered rather than all at once. We weren't rushed but were attentively served. They accommodated us with 5 separate checks. All in all, I'd gladly return to enjoy another dinner.

We we famished since it was 8:30 p.m. The did accommodation us with a lower table since on member of the party was elderly and in a wheelchair, with the statement that "this is a bar more than a restaurant". I would thereby say they are not truly ADA accessible oe friendly as one would hope. But as I said we had made the reservation and figured we'd make the best of it. Some of our appetizers got lost and were so late they took them off the bill. Some of our appetizers arrived cool or cold upon arrival, but we were so hungry we ate them. Plus it wasn't like anyone came back to check on us, or ask how was everything or refills. It wasn't until I went back to the bar and asked for refills that we were even visited again. I know our server was also seeming to be the bartender too. I don't think we'll be back and never with any handicapped friends who can't sit at a high top table. I would say the hopes were high but the experience was almost a total dud. Those who got the chicken Alfredo liked it and it was hot. After spending over $220 for the 7 people I paid for with only 1 alcoholic beverage and mostly burgers and appetizers. I would recommend spending your money elsewhere.
