    Sticky Toffee Pudding
    Peter T.

    Came here for drinks and sat at the bar. Bartender was very kind and provided good drink recommendations. We really appreciated the free sticky toffee pudding as there always an extra laying around-- definitely coming back specifically for this!! Honestly one of the best desserts I have had in a while. There is a decent amount of seating inside for dining and place was not too loud.

    The food at service bar continues to impress. We were a little worried when we came in because several items on the menu were unavailable such as all their pizzas, their Ragu, and the red snapper. Nonetheless, whatever was on the menu was delicious. From the small plates, we shared the duck confit wings, the duck fat fries, and the smoked pastrami trout on potato. The pastrami trout was the star of the show. For the main course, we shared the spring pea gnudi. My daughter and I liked this dish the best. The flavors were amazing -- bright, lemony with pancetta and ricotta. The dessert was also wonderful... it was an interesting take on a strawberry shortcake with homemade biscuits and homemade strawberry sorbet with vanilla ice cream. The service was outstanding and the ambiance is quite nice.

    Stupendous drinks, pretty great food, lovely atmosphere, ok service this visit. Has easy parking. I wish servers would never again ask a group of women whether they are sharing an appetizer or dessert when there been absolutely no indication that they wanted to share. Also never again spontaneously imply that female customers will take a nap after eating dinner as though they've had too much. It's weird. Do it to men or not at all. Otherwise fine service. ‍

    Came in on a Friday night before heading over to the Short North Theater to see Rocky Horror Picture Show (which was most excellent!). Was immediately seated at table 42, the best seats in the house! Everyone was very friendly and the service was fast. We had the Curry Fried Quail and the Beef Neck Ragout. Never had fried quail, but it was okay. Tasted like dark meat chicken. The Sweet Potato Waffles and bourbon syrup were excellent. The pasta was also good. I think they are doing themselves a disservice by calling the dish 'Beef Neck'. Who the hell wants to eat a cow neck? Regardless, the meat was very tender and reminded me of a beef short rib, without the bone. Before any of this I tried the two bourbon flights. Had both the Founders Flight, which are all run of the mill blended 80 proof or so spirits, and the Cask Strength Flight, which is the really good stuff, each one checking in around 125 proof. Each flight had a bourbon, a whisky and a rye. Ended up liking the rye best and bought a couple of bottles to bring home. The ambiance is a casual chic, decked out mostly in black and white. Bar area seats about a dozen and the rest of the restaurant holds another 30 or so, so not a big place. They have a gift store where you can buy everything they sell. There were a few whisky's even better than their Cask Strength that you can try. I ended up buying one of those too.

    Service Bar is super close to the Short North stage, so we visited for a pre-show drink before heading to see Waitress the Musical. I ordered the old fashioned and could only drink one - it was delicious, rich, and booze forward. Exactly how they're supposed to be. A great drink to sip and a great vibe in the establishment. We'll definitely go back when we're downtown!

    I tried Service Bar for the first a few days ago. What a cute date spot or place to grab dinner with the girls. The food and drinks were delicious! We tried the: espresso martini satan's whiskers tourist trap stuffed endive cups daily flatbread duck fat french fries middle west burger cedar plan salmon hanger steak seasonal sorbet (yuzu ginger and strawberry) Overall, a great dining experience and would 100% recommend!!

    What a treat. We came here for my FIL's birthday and was not let down. I have heard rave reviews about this place so I was very excited to try it out. We were welcomed when we walked in and were allowed to put our coats on a coat rack. Plenty of parking designed solely for the Service Bar which made it very convenient. There was an odd smell but it's likely due to the MidWest Spirits being produced in there. You get used to it. The service was fantastic. We started with the French fries and the wings. Both of them were great. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table. My BILs got the espresso martinis. They were a bit underwhelmed by the size but enjoyed them. They would have preferred them without bitters but they didn't have any problem enjoying them. For dinner, I ordered the pork chop and it was delicious! The pecan crust was a nice touch! I also got lucky being able to finish my MIL's last half of her burger and the leftover fries. Clearly, I came hungry and ready to eat. For dessert, we ordered the apple fritters which also was very good. Overall, this is a very nice restaurant. The ambiance is great. Perfect for a happy hour or date night with your significant other!

    Lemon tart, yummy.

    We celebrated my wife's birthday with the family here. Cocktails were very good and the food. We had the vegan special and it was amazing (watermelon on top of avocado smashed, with lime and almonds) the flatbread was good too. With our group I think we tried everything in the menu. Great ambiance.

    I think people in Columbus are stupid. Stupid for not making Service Bar far more popular now. Yes I know it had a famous chief pre-covid and he was great. But you are foolish not to give Chef James, who has been running the Kitchen for the last 8 months, a chance. I have attached the menu from June 2024, as well as some photos of the food, decor and the chef himself. Probably one of the best meals we have had this year. I had an Old Fashion made with the bourbon they distilled on site (I case you forgot Service Bar is a distillery as well as a bar/restaurant) and my wife had the Strawberry Fields cocktail. Both were excellent. For diner I had the glazed pork chop and she had the salmon. Again both were outstanding and generous portions. The menu prices struck me as very reasonable compared to other places with similar quality and style. Even more so once we tasted them! Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive and professional. Not only did he personally know all of the dishes, but he could explain the ingredients in them as well. One of the best service experiences we have had in a long time. Parking was easy since after 5:30pm the largish shared parking lot it is pretty much dedicated to SB customers. The interior is elegant and tables well spaced out. I wouldn't call it "fine dining", but I would call it "elevated dining" which is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a great atmosphere and wonderful food without having to get too dressed up. This fit the bill. It's the kind of place where they have music playing just loud enough, you can hear it, but you could easily have a normal conversation without it interfering or making you talk louder. All in all it was a fantastic night dining out and I hope Columbus embraces Service Bar once again. They deserve it. Highly recommended!

    A perfect date night spot. Reasonably priced drinks, food and merchandise at the restaurant. I love the ambience and exterior a lot. There is also a few parking spots attached to the place which was super convenient considering the location! We ordered salad, burger and the pasta. I really wanted to try the lamb shank but it was sold out at the time, a little surprised since it was before 6P on a Saturday. My husband loves the burger and the fries was very very good! Amazing value for the pricing point. My pasta was also tasty but a little salty to my liking. The restaurant is super cozy. I do wish there is more spacing between tables since we can literally hear the whole conversation from the table next to us. Maybe I will ask for the booth next time. Overall we enjoyed it and will consider visiting again for a date.

    Duck fat fries
    Lee Ann P.

    I had been wanting to try this spot and it did not disappoint. It is small inside but very chic, and they are making the spirits they craft their cocktails with in the next room which is cool. Our server was really fun, attentive, and helped explain the menu. There was six of us and we tried a plethora of cocktails and wine and they were all good. We started with the chicken wings and duck fat fries. Both of which were delicious. I shared the Caesar salad which sounded very unique but was absolutely awesome. For my meal I had the burger and it was delicious! At the table we also had the pork chop, the chicken sandwich and the linguini and clams and everyone raved about their dishes. For dessert we had the apple fritters and I finished with the flat white cocktail. Overall, everything was perfection and I would highly recommend this little spot

    PSA - Service Bar has a new chef and you must try his food asap! This was a totally diff experience from last time I visited about a year ago. Next time anyone asks for a more upscale yet unpretentious dinner, this on my short list of recommendations. I love the ambiance... moody and vibey and elevated. The bar is a work of art in and of itself. The food is beautiful yet totally comforting. Elevated Midwest food with Italian inspiration. My favorite. The Duck Confit Gnudi blew me away and so did the Lamb Shank. Those are must orders. Pappardelle is my go-to Italian dish and this one was excellent. Handmade pasta that had the perfect texture. My friend Rosalie and I had a full-blown conversation about the noodles being "QQ" - a term originating from Taiwan that is basically the Asian version of "al dente." Soft, chewy and bouncy - but not mushy. These noodles were QQ. For starters, both the Lake Erie Rillettes (walleye) and Porchetta & Burrata Toast are worth trying and great for sharing. Cocktails are gorgeous and tasty - all using Middle West Spirits. We both loved the Oaxacan 75. Such a fun take on a French 75 with much more flavor and spice and complexity. Highly recommend you check them out. I went last year around this time, and this time was a different menu and experience! This will be such a cozy spot for the holidays.

    I've been searching for restaurants that have squash blossoms on their menu and was glad I finally made it in to Service Bar. The restaurant is connected to Middle West Spirits and there were lots of options highlighting the spirits they make. I enjoyed the green curry mussels and both the crème brûlée and bananas foster with black sesame topping for a nice twist. It was a slow night but our server and FOH staff were super tentative. Also, parking in the adjacent lot is available to customers after 5:00. The signage is outdated and I ended up driving around looking for parking when I didn't have to. Will keep that in mind for next time. The dish I came in for was great but I'll definitely be back for their duck fat fries.

    Is this place open? I would love to get in for dinner once again.

    I was told to get the ribs. Why?

    One of chef barua’s signature dishes... harkening back to his days at Mission Chinese in NYC. Crispy, sweet, and just the right amount of spice... almost if general two met mid western BBQ. A customer favorite since the service bar opened!

    I really, really, really love the drink menu of the Alibi. Like, a lot. Their visual chart is a…read moregodsend for cocktail explorers, and all of the drinks came out delicious and exactly as described. It's so creative, and the drinks are really the stellar stand out here. However, the atmosphere of those drinks is what gives me pause when thinking about coming back. The limited table situation, tiny cramped space, and loud music means that it doesn't feel particularly relaxing. People are constantly brushing up against you (even at 5PM), and holding a conversation at a normal distance is nearly impossible. NOTE: This place is covered in dust. No shade to the ownership as it doesn't appear to be anywhere near food prep areas (it's on the decor, on/around shelving, all over the faux plants, etc.), but if you're someone who's sensitive to dust, this is probably not a good fit. PROS: -I loooooooove how they've done their drink menu. As someone who is still exploring the potential of cocktails, their nerdy "chart" that places all of their drinks on a sweet/bitter and alcohol-forward/approachable visual chart is SUCH a help. As such, everything I ordered was absolutely amazing for me. I knew exactly what to expect from a drink because of its position on the chart, and it delivered. -Their drinks are really unique. Aqua faba? Fat washed alcohols? Lollipops or toasted marshmallows as garnishes? Super cool. Don't let some of the weirder descriptions creep you out of trying them. -All of their drinks were delicious. Everything I ordered was exactly as described. I often go places where the taste is barely related to its namesake, but they were entirely on-point here. CONS: -I'm not sure if someone called off that night as other reviewers are in love with the service, but our service was really really slow. No real rapport with the staff; just stating the name of a drink as they rushed past and then they were off to try to clean a table or take someone else's order. The drinks they made were great, but this isn't somewhere we'd go if we were in a hurry. -The pictures do not accurately convey how small this place is. Like, it's small. I'd guess less than 1000 square feet. My apartment is bigger by a lot. This isn't necessarily an issue, but it means people pile up quickly as they wait for seating (there's like 4/5 tables and then bar seating). The human walkways are small enough that the bartenders and other guests will brush against you a lot - even while seated. -I get the vibe they were going for here, but with the smaller space, I think a lot of the potential decor options had to "go" in order to fit more humans. It's giving me hardcore The Hearth Room (in Cincinnati) vibes, and I think it could honestly pull it off if it simply had more space. The "relaxed, sophisticated bourbon bar" doesn't quite come through as well when things are so focused on simply fitting in more bodies. -It's loud AF. Like, really, really loud. Between all the people and the blasting pop music, it required leaning into someone's ear in order to speak at normal volumes. We'd regularly have to pause the conversation if something in the music was building to a drop. This is not a place I'd take someone I wasn't very very comfortable with because it really requires being in someone's space to talk. -There's a single all-gender toilet here for everyone in the establishment. It's basically a revolving door of people in and out of it. The door auto-closes, however, so it's really difficult to figure out if it's open or not. There was usually a queue of people waiting in front of the door.

You can sit at a high top table, blue velvet couches for a more laid back option or the bar if you come alone or with a friend!

Cocktail vibe is more "laid-back friends talking over creative drinks" than sultry, romantic date spot. Tons of natural light means this cocktail bar has had some of my *favorite* cocktail bar photos I've ever taken. It's so pretty in here. NOTES: -During pop-ups, walk-ins are near-impossible on weekends and not likely on weekdays. Make a reservation if you want to make sure you'll have a spot. -No dedicated parking lot. 3-hour-limit free residential parking all around Law Bird, though. We generally have to walk 2 or 3 blocks from parking to Law Bird. Be aware this is German Village, and you're looking at cobblestone sidewalks for high heel and accessibility purposes. -Law Bird mostly has small party seating. If you have a larger group you want to seat during a pop-up, make SURE to get that reservation in early. They have the single 8-person table. -They have snackies and food. Portion sizes are small (despite what the prices may suggest), though, so this is not generally a place to eat a full meal. All of the food is super flavorful, though, so definitely a great snack to add on. PROS: -Keeping things fresh, they regularly host cute seasonal events, new drinks, and pop-up events. In recent memory, I know they've done a Cherry Blossom one, a Spooky Halloween one, and a Christmas one. -They go ALL OUT for their pop-ups. It isn't just a brand new, professionally-printed menu (no pieces of paper with 4 seasonal drinks here). It's also all of their interior decor, bathroom decorations, bartop decorations, and more. Ceiling decor too! They get all up in there. It's really fun to see the space transformed constantly. -Between the new menus and the constantly-new decorations of their space, I love regularly popping into Law Bird. -I LOVE the creativity of the menus, and I LOVE that they offer cocktail classes. (I haven't taken one yet, but I'm excited to!) The menu has unique drinks, served with unique garnishes. They have a few "sugar cocktails", but for the most part, Law Bird drinks tend to be complex and spirit-forward. -Their "themed" bathrooms (even with their own themed music playlists) make me happy. They have two unisex, single room restrooms. CONS: -If you come during a pop-up with a smaller group, they will enforce their reservation time limit of 1.5 hours. This isn't necessarily the end of the world, but the times when they enforce their limits is when they have more customers waiting - and tend to be when the place is at capacity. When they're at-capacity, the bar staff and service staff is a lot busier, with drink service taking longer and servers checking in a lot less. This means we usually only have had the chance to place 2 drink orders during that 1.5 hour time limit before they ask us to leave. This can be rough (to try most of the drinks on a limited time menu) unless you're sharing drinks with your tablemates. If you still want to continue your evening with your friends after that 1.5 hour limit, Antiques on High, Daily Growler, and Cobra are easily walkable from here. -During their pop-ups on weekends, time between placing a drink order and receiving the drink has usually been around 15 to 20 minutes. Not the end of the world as you get to socialize with friends, but again, with the time limit, that can be a bit rough.

I had read the raving reviews, and being a Yelp Elite myself I know I can and do trust their reviews above others. So....I was really looking forward to trying something new and enjoy watching a bartender do their thing. The bartender pointed to two framed menus on top of a cooler containing seltzer's and canned drinks, and some glass bottles of pre-made cocktails, I think. I would've appreciated the bartender ask me what I liked, and help me decide, but it was easier for him to point to the sign. Customer service absolutely sucked hippo balls. I asked if I could just order a Knob Creek and Coke in a short glass, and a Blanton's for my hubs. Sure!! What I got was a shot of each in a to-go plastic condiment container with a lid, and two big paper go cups (like Burger King) of ice, and a can of Coke, which I told him never mind I had a soda in the truck. We also got two bags of Cheeto's, to make the sale legal. So....we poured our bourbons over the ice in the paper cups. I drank a few sips of mine, yum, even in paper. My husband was just about to take a sip and noticed something stuck in his ice that looked just like a maggot. He walked back across the street and told/showed the bartender, who vehemently denied it came from the ice because it was a brand new bag. Then I noticed 3 of the maggot looking things in my ice, so I went back in and showed my husband and then the bartender. He told my husband it was probably from the citrus he was cutting on a board near the ice bin. They were frozen INSIDE the ice cubes. I'm upset with myself that I didn't take a picture of it, it was gross. I'm upset that a bartender would try to make it seem like it was nothing. After seeing it all in my ice my husband just asked for our money back, and the bartender said, "But I've already poured another." Ummm, sorry, but no thank you. He did give the refund, but I most assuredly won't give them a second chance when I visit Columbus.
