Made reservations for 22 for a Saturday night. This bar was recommended to us by a few locals. It definitely is a happening place to be. They seated us towards the back at these picnic area type tables which worked out fine. We were separated by three different tables though so if you're looking to sit together for a large party, I'm not sure how they would accommodate. The service was great and the waitress did a great job matching up our volleyball players with their parents even if we were sitting at different tables. I ordered the Cobb salad with chicken and it was a huge portion. Others at the table ordered the tacos and said they were really good (deep fried). Portion sizes seemed pretty big for most everything we ordered and service was pretty quick. When we left, it was getting pretty loud and crowded, but seems like a fun place to hang out! read more

Typical sports bar. The beer selection is decent and the food will help absorb the alcohol. I did like the cauliflower bites, but there wasn't much else for vegans on the menu. read more

It's been since 2018 since I have been here.. yeap crazy I know. Just walking by and decide why not. Glad I did, so much better than the last time. The blueberry mint lemonade was amazing and dangerous because I could not taste the alcohol at all. The service was great, fast and she was very friendly. The music still good! Hahah. read more

Cool bar, great for drinks, fries are solid. Service was genuinely good though, multiple staff checked in and everyone was friendly. But do not order the wings. Waited an hour on a slow Monday night for cold, dry little knuckles buried under sad shaved cheese. No excuse for that on a dead night. Come to drink, eat somewhere else. read more

employees are not good people they treat you very poorly and overpriced beer 0/10 service

We came here for a quick dinner and it was pretty good, but this is definitely more of a bar than a restaurant -- it's dark and loud! Seems like a fun place but wasn't quite the vibe we were looking for. There are over 70 beers available plus a full bar and a pretty basic bar food menu. The Mac & Cheese and fries were great. I didn't love the Caesar salad, the dressing was a bit off to me. The service was good and I liked that we were able to pay via QR code when we were ready to go. read more

Excellent place to enjoy happy hour. We were able to get a table at the window which is garage style opened so you feel like you are on the street. Great spot for people watching. Excellent beer selection and the drafts served in a great chilled mug. The spinach artichoke dip was excellent. Great flavor with fresh chips. Wife enjoyed her cocktails and I enjoyed sampling the selection of peers. Servers were friendly and engaging. Service was spot on. Excellent place. read more

I popped into Pint House once for a Sunday night football game. You sit down where you like and are greeted by staff with a menu shortly after. I went with their burger, which was cooked how I liked, and came with these great fries as well. I'd like to mention they have gluten free and beyond meat options as well. The lighting was great inside, and TV sets in all the right places, no matter where you're seated you could see and hear the game. They played good alternative songs on commercial breaks, and there was hardly any wait time at the bar. I come back here at least once a month, if not more. read more

I had thee worst encounter ever last night 9/9/2026 close to 8pm. A male friend and I headed to PInt for a good time and to watch the Sea Hawks and Patriots football game. On this day it was gloomy with scattered showers. I was surprised to see the tables outside on the sidewalk out but they did have umbrellas to cover the tables. I (Black woman) had a seat with a black and Mild (cigar- like a cigarette) in my hand but not lit and my male friend ( young black male) was standing for a while and smoking a black and mild ( cigar). Three, young ladies had sat at another table ( Pint table on sidewalk) and was eating ice cream they had purchased somewhere else. Me and my friend was probably at the table no longer than 4-5 minutes before we were approached by a Caucasian female with blonde hair pulled back in a hair clip ( assuming management). First, thing she said when she approached us was " I cant have you doing these activities out her, " I asked what activities and she replied "this" pointing to my male friend smoking. Then she goes to say " and its not giving that you are going to order anything." I asked what gave her that impression that we were not buying anything and she goes to say " it just don't." i asked her well where is my waitress because i haven't even been served yet? Now this made me very uncomfortable since the three Caucasian women who stopped and had a seat at the Pint table outside just to talk and eat ice cream were not approached. I'm not sure who told her to come outside and approach me and my friend but she made me think twice about returning. I have to say there was no posted do not smoke on the sidewalk signs posted anywhere close or at least i didn't notice any. I will be calling in to explain this situation to management a little better sometime today. I tried to sleep this off but yet I still woke up bothered by her body language and her assumptions. I think asking him to put it out and explained why would have been better for business. Then she could have asked us if we were dining in. I'm so confused on why she thought we were not dining in. Racial profiling is at a all time high and I hope this was not what she was doing. read more

If you like being surrounded by freshly turned 21 year olds that all look the same this is the place for you. I'm only 30 and my friend and I felt so out of place it was actually awkward asf. Not to mention the service was terrible and it was impossible to get a drink. Waited over 30 minutes near the bar waiting for someone to come over and then when he did he looked at me weird for ordering a rum and coke and was like are you sure? Ummmm. Yeah just a weird place and not for me. If the service was better I might have come back another night when it wasn't a bunch of douchey frat guys and chicks. read more

Stood at that bar for 20 minutes while I watched the bartender serve everyone but me and my friend! She even made eye contact with me multiple times but chose to help the frat bros to my left and the gals to my right. Sorry for being a regular person, pint house! read more

Short North Pint House has an unbeatable deal on Thursdays with their 75 cent wings. My boyfriend and I went back a second time after moving over to Columbus and it was just as good as we remembered. The staff was friendly and quickly placed our orders and brought our food out to us. It's a great sports bar vibe and I could see us coming back with a group of friends on a night out. It's the perfect place to watch any game as they have many tv screens plastered all over the walls, true sports bar style. They also seem to have other great deals running throughout the week like a $20 steak & fries dinner perfect for two. We definitely see ourselves coming back on a Monday to try it out for ourselves! read more

Pint house is a mad house at night, but a fun time! Definitely a bar for 22-30 years olds. It gets packed. This review is about their food which I think is phenomenal. Every-time I've had it , it hits the spot. It's surprisingly super good and not pricey. Their fries especially are amazing. This is a great spot for lunch and drinks, and dinner before the night. read more

Short North Pint House - Buffalo wrap - Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A welcoming, beer-forward, wood-looking restaurant. I was surprised by how much we enjoyed the food and drinks here, and we're already looking forward to coming back to take advantage of some of their other specials in the future. PROS: -I'm a pretzel snob. Like, it's by-far one of my favorite foods. It isn't often that I come across pretzels I haven't had before, and the Short North Pint House has me dead to rights here. They have a $19 (it's expensive) "pretzel flight" that's made up of 3 pretzels and 3 corresponding dips. It is expensive for how much food you get, but the pretzels are (literally) stuffed. There's cream cheese in one of them and cheese in another. They're probably some of the most unique pretzels I'm going to have this entire year. -Tablemate got the wings. He said they were were good. They were overcooked and a bit dry, but that's all that he said would have kept them from being genuinely great. Good wing size, sauce flavor, and heat. -Really, really good espresso martini. -I'm not sure if they're beyond-packed on Thursday or dead, but they have wing specials, beer specials, $5 Espresso martinis, and more on Thursday. It's a wild day full of specials. CONS: -Almost all (I wanna say, like 90%) of the seating is high top tables meant for at least 4 people (in many cases, 4-12). If you're someone who doesn't find high tops comfortable or can't get on them, this will be problematic. There are a few picnic-style tables in the very back, but when I went, this section said "seating offlimits". -It's kinda loud in here. We came during off-peak times, and it was still pretty hard to hear one another. Bright side: we did end up getting a table though. But I imagine this place can be one of those "scream at your nearby tablemate" places when they're at peak hours. -We came for the Restaurant Week menu during the Restaurant Week days. The waitress, however, let us know they had chosen to stop doing Restaurant Week there a day early. Not awesome, but she was really helpful about showing us what items on their everyday menu were similar or the same as the Restaurant Week menu. read more

Don't go here. The dark-haired female bartender tried to tell my 25-year-old sister her ID was fake. When she finally laid off, our drinks were awful. I get they need to be wary of fake IDs this close to the University, but come on, lady, you're smarter than that. The girl was also just in a horrible mood, provided horrible service, and seemed to hate her job. It seemed like she was looking for a fight every time she spoke to us, if that makes sense. read more

I've walked by this spot a million times but never tried it. I tried once before but the place was packed on a game day so I walked in and walked out. That day is was so crowded and the wait would have been forever. However, today I was the first customer of the day and no one was here yet on a Sunday. The place has a cool vibe so I can see why it would be popular. I'm here to get my brunch on! I kick started my meal with a spicy Bloody Mary. I was tempted to go for their Loaded Giant Bloody Mary but decided to cool my jets and simply go for the House Bloody Mary. I must say they have a great spicy Bloody Mary mix but they are light on the alcohol. I ordered another one and it was the same way. Another shot of vodka would have made these an acceptable drink. I went with the Breakfast Wrap with Truffle Fries to help soak up this Bloody Mary lol. Everything came out looking amazing! Unfortunately the truffle fries had very little flavor. I kept adding salt to help but nothing could have made these fries taste good. I was so disappointed. Thankfully the breakfast burrito was wonderful! It was packed with flavor. This breakfast wrap was made with eggs, beer cheese, potatoes, grilled peppers and onions. I would order this again, minus the truffle fries. Overall the experience was positive. I would definitely come back. The service was ok, but the lack of attention just meant less bloody mary cocktails. I would have ordered more but I just refuse to have to run the waitress down to order them. I'm one of those who believe the server should be watching the table attentive enough to ask if I want another. My waitress seemed to be more interested in flirty kissy face with the guy a few tables down. Regardless, I'd say give this place a whirl when your looking for a fun place to grab a brunch. read more

I have never loved this place..but it does the trick for a group of people, sporting event or fast date. The bartenders are never nice. But you get what you get. The food is amazing from what I see. It is always packed though..never my vibe. The drinks are awesome. Basic, foundational Short North bar. read more

I would like to add to Ella W's review. I was trying to communicate with the bartender after he quarreled with my friend who felt sick. I tried asserting that she had no bad intentions of spitting in her cup after she took a shot and felt ill. Instead, he said I was yelling at him, but I am incapable of yelling due to my vocal condition I've had for a while now. I felt very invalidated in this moment and that my concerns and my friend's concerns weren't being listened to. We are both very respectful people that have worked in food service, and he just automatically assumed we had malicious intent. This is absolutely not the case, and it felt like an attack on both of our characters. The bartenders here need to do better and not assume the worst of people. This was honestly a very bad part of our night, and we were just trying to celebrate our friend's birthday. read more

GREAT HAPPY HOUR DEALS! We went for a girls night out and LOVED our food here! Apps and pizzas are 1/2 off during Happy Hour, and there's a variety of deals on beer as well. Pint House is great too because they open up all the windows when it is warm to create such a fun, welcoming ambiance! The service was great - our waitress was so attentive considering how busy they were. The spinach and artichoke dip was AMAZING! They gave such a large portion of chips and dip for only $7 during Happy Hour! I definitely can't wait to go back! Cheers read more

Favorite happy hour spot in Short North. Love that they have the roof open on nice days and the huge windows keep the fresh air flowing creating a great atmosphere. Their staff is amazing and help create a buzzing ambiance. As for drinks, it's a beer lover's haven. So many options on draft and delicious handcrafted cocktails. As for appetizers, the pretzel trio and nachos are the best. I also love the blackened Mahi tacos! You can't go wrong with any of their menu items because everything is delicious. Absolutely recommend for going with friends or family. read more

I came here after Comfest. This was my first time coming here but have heard about it for a while. The ambiance is super cute and chill. I loved all of their pride flags they had up and the roof opens when it is nice out. I ordered the mahi tacos and my friend had the chicken tenders. I honestly did not love the mahi tacos, the fish was pretty dry. But the chicken and fries were wonderful. I'm excited to come back and try new dishes read more

Let's start with the positives. 1. I had a great time with friends. 2. I met a man (although, he did not text me back). 3. Truffle fries were some of the best. Now for the negatives. I came on a Sunday for the football games. Every single customer in this bar was dressed in all different nfl gear. When the Brown's game came on, every single TV in this bar was switched to the game!!! What?! We are 2 hours outside of Cleveland and probably 5 people in the bar were rooting for them (the bartenders). When we asked the bartenders, kindly, to switch one tv to a different game, they seemed annoyed and unwilling. Cincinnati is closer to Columbus than Cleveland, why not fill the screens with that game?? (and I'm not even a Cincinnati fan!) Will I come back? Yes. But I'll be sure the Browns aren't playing! read more

Split about this review. Went yesterday for the championship game and blatantly witnessed the manager shoving people out of the way because it was crowded. This was followed by the Mickey Mouse security worker shouting "Anyone touches him or has a problem and I'll kick your ass out, ya heard". Ridiculous. Waiters are great there which is why giving this review is difficult. Beer selection is nice. Can't wrap my head around the managers behavior on the day when the football team became champs. Clearly not fit to be a leader. read more

My friends and I have brought our parents here a few times, and they really enjoyed it. Pint house is one of my favorite bars in the short north, but it usually gets packed shoulder to shoulder, especially on game days. Otherwise, this is a great brunch spot with a mimosa bar! You order champagne and walk up to the mimosa bar to pick your juice, fruit, and/or candy to compliment your drink! Super unique! The vibe of Pint House is very sporty/pub, which I like. read more

Came on a sunny Saturday and got seated outside.l right away. The restaurant was busy but the service was great! The waitress took our order and came to check on us regularly. They didn't offer flights but was able to sample whatever he wanted off the menu. The samples were good pours too! The vibe was cool, you can bring your dogs since it's outside seating. They had some cold pressed juice, I got the pineapple watermelon one and it was refreshing. We people watched while we had a light pre dinner! I ordered nachos and it was really good. My husband order the poke bowl and he said it was good except the big slices of ginger. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night, and it was too loud to hear anyone. My coworkers and I had to shout at each other to be able to communicate. We also saw a lot of people dressed up, and there was a bachelorette party held here. Not sure why you would want a bachelorette party in a beer bar, but hey, who am I to judge? Pizza was good. I got veggie, and one of my coworkers got meat. It was good pizza, and satiated my pizza cravings, but nothing spectacular to write home about. read more
