    Her last name is Spires. So she had to get the hat.

    This used to be an Irish Pub. I think it was Fado's. It was a close-by HUGE pub that I loved. Evidently the area didn't love it, since it didn't survive. Now, part of the old space is a brewery. And I am okay with that. Unfortunately, it's a rainy day, which means I don't get to enjoy the awesome patio - it's huge, with a fire pit, and heaters, with the original iron and stone fence. I've been here a few times now - and the beer is good - and getting better. They have a great spot, they always have good music playing, so I'll keep coming back and supporting them.

    Was in the area and saw that this brewery was close by to where we had dinner. It was a Monday night and cold so there was no one there except us. They have super reasonable priced beer and a great atmosphere. I can't wait for warmer weather because their patio is gorgeous and overlooks Chase's pond. I'm not a beer person, but they have a cocktail list along with non alcoholic drinks. I tried their house made root beer and wow!! So yummy! Matt was our bartender and was knowledgeable about the cocktails and alcohol. He said he has been working on the "Polaris" recipe and let us try some. Loved loved loved! He made our experience so much better. They also have Bob Ross' painting show on so we could easily sit there for a while to watch.

    Spires Social is a great place to share brews with friends. I've been many times and enjoyed the drinks, food and good service. They also have a variety you can get if you're indecisive!

    Don't be fooled by the location in a shopping center near Polaris. Wait until you enter, then you see what they've done with the space, and the patio out back!! We sat on the patio on a chilly night and had a beer recently, but the atmosphere was so appealing with the water right next to it, the lights, and of course the fireplace! The beer was great and I look forward to coming back to tasting more soon. I also love how friendly the staff is. One of the owners was cleaning tables and keeping things looking nice. I can tell they put a lot of thought and work into the details of making this place feel home-y, festive, and welcoming. I can't wait to support this new brewery again. Next time, I'll have time to do a full flight and I'll remember my growler! And hopefully the weather will allow us some more patio days soon!

    We are so lucky to live in an area with a plethora of great breweries to choose from. I found Spires Social Brewing on Yelp. The reviews were stellar and Yelp has never really lead me astray. So my husband and I headed out to Spires Social on an early Sunday afternoon. The space is full of concrete and the ceiling is high, making the space feel open. It was a generic feel like so many other breweries you see. The sound was loud even though there were very few customers in the brewery. I ordered a flight of beers and we settled in to a table. I was hopeful and excited. As I made my way through the flight I just kept saying how thin the beers were. They did not possess the mouthfeel that I am a fan or that I have come accustomed to with all the amazing beers in Columbus. By the time I finished by flight I was disappointed. I truly had higher expectations since Spires Social is rated so highly. I do believe that everyone has different tastes and maybe this brewery is just not for me, but it is for a lot of other people. Head to Spires Social and judge for yourself.

    I like the atmosphere they didn't have live music when we were there. They have their own beer as well as local beer and we tried the did you bring a saw. It had a good flavor it was really flavorful but not in your face. I also tried my first tequila shot! They have foosball and it's free to play and it was very nostalgic. When I first met my husband we played foosball all the time and that's how we got to know each other.

    With so many options of great breweries here in the Columbus area, I just can't justify ever returning here. The beer was fine, the service was fine, the venue was clean and well taken care of, however, the selection was not great and the noise level was out of control. No ambiance at all. There was live music in a very echo-prone space (concrete floors) which made it impossible to talk or hang out with friends. Which is what I generally want to do at a brewery. Also, and I know you're supposed to order beer at a brewery, but I just wasn't in the mood for one, so I asked for a cocktail. Usually when there are spirits clearly displayed behind the bar, I expect to at least see a couple of drinks to choose from. Alas, no drinks other to choose from besides beer. *sigh* I asked what could be made, and just settled for a vodka-cran. Maybe the noise level isn't so bad when the patio is open, but for someone like me (who is pretty easy overstimulated) this is not a vibe.

    Great beer and ambiance, but from the reviews, I thought that it was completely dog friendly. We showed up on a pretty cool evening with our dog, but were informed that dogs are permitted only on the patio. They did let us sit inside near the patio, since it was so cold, and we were already there. Unless it's a nice warm day, it's better to leave your dog at home.

    We were thrilled to stumble upon Spires a few months back. It's an awesome casual bar with indoor/outdoor seating which would be ideal for any season with their heaters and fire pits too! The service was friendly, had great music, table games to play for free and they even had local wines for us non-beer folks. The beer selection was great and we loved the laid back ambiance. Will return!

    Ghoul"s Blood cocktail
    Mark K.

    Spires is yet another good brewery in the central Ohio area. It opened last week, and I was able to stop in briefly today. They have several good brews of their own, and lots of guest beers. There was a seasonal cocktail, Ghoul's Blood, blue with rum and pineapple. Plus, they have a lineup of pop: ginger ale right now, and root beer coming soon. There's a nice big patio, and a decent sized dining, er, drinking room inside. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Prices look reasonable. I tried the Black is Beautiful stout, a limited edition brew. It was very smooth and yet full flavored. I'll be back for the root beer, and other brews.

    Can't believe I'm just hearing about this brewery, especially since there aren't many in this part of town. Spires is small at the moment - they only brew about 5 of their own beers but they have an amazing selection of guest brews. I absolutely loved the Christmas Ale but didn't get a picture because it was being enjoyed :) They're going a great job with distancing and cleaning tables and chairs between guests. There's also multiple bathrooms - something more breweries need honestly. They have some chips and small snacks but if you're looking for a meal you'll need to get it from one of the many food spots surrounding the brewery.

    Stout and pumpkin ale (from the flight)
    Katie N.

    What a great little brewery. There is an amazing patio outdoor space, with space heaters, fire pits and a fireplace. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the pumpkin ale, and the pumpkin bourbon cocktail they offered. They have flights available, and while no food they suggest places close by. I will back for the outdoor space for sure!

There are some food trucks nearby, offering a variety of items, and I would imagine most people would be able to find something that they like. There was not live entertainment present when we visited, but it appeared that The venue was laid out for such possibilities. this might be an OK place for a very casual first date depending upon the likes and personality of the person you are with. If you enjoy craft brewing, this should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Columbus. plenty of street parking is available and there are a few lots nearby. As a tip, many of the street parking areas use a system called Parkmobile, by which parking fees can be paid remotely using a smart app on a mobile phone that is so equipped.

I got the Korean BBQ smash burger topped with Korean BBQ aioli, Cleveland Kraut Kimchi, gochugaru (korean chili flake) and scallion. I don't understand the smash burger craze since I like my burgers medium rare, but if I have to eat a smash burger to enjoy these toppings, I'm in! The heat, texture and combination of flavors were epic. The fries are well done too! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was even after 30 minutes. Nothing fancy but done amazingly well and very quickly. My burger was out in a few minutes. I will say that the pizzas I saw coming out of the kitchen will have me coming back to try one of them. The beer was good, although I'll admit that the heat from the burger affected my pallet to truly enjoy the beers since I got a tasting flight. I was here on a Friday night between 5:45 and 7 and it was filling up until I was ready to head out. They do have happy hour on Friday from 2-5pm for $1 off pints.

I also ordered a pint afterward of one of the IPAs I enjoyed. My server recommended some flavors to try while I was there and he was spot on. (I interacted with two different servers, one male, one female, both equally helpful and friendly). I would return, only in part for good beer, moreso it's the inviting feel I get from this place. This staff realizes that we have options around town and they made me feel like they wanted me there.

The focus on the beer was mostly on lagers, which I love. Only negative: the man pouring the taps there one of the nights has no clue what he was talking about. I asked him the difference between two of the bocks they had on tap (a helles bock and a maibock...debately the same style, if not very similar) and he said "how strong the Belgian yeasts are" in a very confident tone. I told him I had never heard of bocks being made with Belgian yeasts, and he said it's "a Cincinatti thing".

We hit up several breweries on a recent trip to Columbus, and Hoster was my favorite beer of the trip. It was just well made, good tasting beer - nothing crazy. To top it off, there's bottomless self-serve popcorn and a vintage jukebox topped with a bowl of free quarters to play your favorite selctions from the decades. The collections of artifacts from Hoster's storied histories, make the walk to the bathroom like a visit to a mini-museum. I loved the homey decor and selection of tables, barstools, and comfy chairs. This place was somewhat family friendly, but it's not a huge space, so it's not great for tots that like to run around. I believe there might have been soooome seasonal outdoor seating, but nothing crazy. Lots of parking and easily accessible. The bartender was super welcoming, friendly, and generous! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't super busy - that was welcomed! Hoster is worth a visit if you're ever in the area. Their brews rival the big names in the area.
