    Best food in town. My grandpa used to pretty much live at this place. Very small comfortable hometown bar.

    We have been here many times and the food and service never disappoints! We've had brunch and lunch…read moreand we've sat out in the patio a few times to enjoy being outside while eating. It's a very comfortable vibe. Oh, and they have great Bloody Mary's!

    We just tried this restaurant for the first time-two adults and 2 kids. The A/C either doesn't…read moreexist or doesn't work. We heard multiple people complain about it. (It was 91 degrees at 8:00 pm). The waitress just blew off the remarks, which I don't blame her. She's young and just works there. But there was a family sitting on the patio and every time the waitress went outside, where we were seated it felt like we were blasted with a heater. When they walked in to leave, they mentioned that it felt the same temperature inside as it did outside. My children ordered a personal pizza off the kids menu, each, but the waitress only brought one and my husband ordered the street taco nachos, which were good and a salad, which he said was okay. We didn't say anything about the pizza, they just shared because we honestly just wanted to leave as soon as possible. They enjoyed it. I didn't order any food because the heat just made me nauseous. The waitress was nice, raved about the strawberry shortcake for dessert (tried it, none of us enjoyed it, which is unusual for my kids). Our bill was $60. In my opinion, it was overpriced for mediocre food and the feeling of 80+ degrees in the restaurant.

    Tootle's Pumpkin Inn is a must stop in Circleville. It's named for the famous festival. The place…read moreis nuts if you go there during it. If you're expecting anything fancy you're in the wrong bar. The service is average which makes it comparatively good. Any bar in this town is a dive bar. It's just called being realistic. This place isn't much different except that it's the most popular because it's named for the only reason most people know anything about this town. If you're going at any other time of the year it's usually not too busy. They of course have pumpkin flavored beer, cocktails, and shots. It's about $3 for something like an old fashioned. The prices are pretty good, which makes it worth checking out. I would go to Tootle's the next time in Circleville. If you're there at the festival expect it to be filled to the gills. The rest of the year has some good shows too.

    Completely ridiculous name (alluding to the Circleville Pumpkin Festival): check…read more Cheesy liquor shots named after sexual acts and/or naughty things to call women: check Amazing locals wearing overalls and drinking tall boys of all sorts: check. A bunch of us Columbusites went down to Roundtown last night to see Wayne "The Train" Hancock (with Whitey Morgan and the Old 78's) at Tootles. It's a pretty nice bar/music venue, with ample standing room and plenty of local flavor. I wouldn't say rush down to Circleville when nothing is going on there, but if there's a show you want to see, this is a comfy and friendly venue. I do think it's hilarious that the Circleville Pumpkin Festival is such a big deal - ze boy and I were slightly weirded out by it (and the general lack of pumpkin-ness!) when we went on its last day a couple weeks ago, but I won't knock the only major thing Circleville, OH is known for. I will say, though, that the legacy lives on at Tootle's, which uses the pumpkin as a theme on its tshirts, for its drinks, etc etc. (I wasn't drinking, so I can't tell you about that part, except that my friends were downing tall boys of beers I didn't know came in tall boys - Miller High Life, for example)... Anyway, I like the space, as its large, open, and friendly. I enjoyed watching hipsters mingle with rockabillies mingle with townies mingle with my metalhead/Columbus freak friends. Everyone seemed to get along, and everyone knew all the words to Wayne the Train's songs, which made it even more fun. Like I said, this is a good local venue/pub. If you're in town, and looking for a good place to go, I'd say go here. But you can find the same in Columbus without driving 45 minutes, so just keep that in mind. Tootles does seem to have a lot of quality country/southern rock shows going on, so if you like that kind of music, definitely take a look at their schedule. I definitely recommend Wayne Hancock and Whitey Morgan. And of course, Tootles, should you be in Circleville!
