Loud, music-focused bar that happens to serve food too. Their brunch includes delicious Mimosas and a Bloody Mary buffet, so you have some stand-out options in a sea of Columbus brunches. Definitely note that Standard Hall loves its loud, bass-pushing music at all hours - even in the morning for brunch. PROS: -Seat yourself! Choose where you want to sit and have at it! They have a lot of high top seating and bar top seating, and they have a few booths. -Bathrooms are clean. Sometimes you don't know in bars, but the bathrooms here were clean. They've moved to air-only hand drying (no paper towels to be had) which is slightly annoying, but the bathrooms themselves are good. -Really good brunch options! The Cinnamon Roll French Toast was AMAZING and sugary, and the Pretzel and "house wiz" cheese was delicious too. We were into the Mozerella Bites too. -Sorta-separate area from Standard Hall functions as a second bar (two bars in here!) and a separate "event space" for events. We've been here for multiple events throughout the years now, and it works great for allowing Standard Hall to stay open to general patrons while the event space still serves cocktails and a private event. CONS: -This place can be loud. The music alone is loud, but when you start getting crowds, it gets really loud really quickly. It may be hard to hear your tablemates. -Short North parking can be a bit of a pain. That being said, Standard Hall is a bit north-er than the busiest parts of the Short North, so it's easier and cheaper to find a place to park. There was a $3-an-hour lot within a half a block of Standard Hall.

Look for the dry patty.

Food: Brian's food? See photo for the "burger" -- or lack there of. Asked for double, it came as a single cut into two. Thanks. My food? I had to cover it in ketchup bc of the lack of taste. Drinks: If you like seeing freshmen college kids acting like they 28 y.o. This is your place. Bloody Mary bar on Sunday? FYR Service: Catch them on a Friday/Saturday and you'll see why only college kids come here. Catch them on a Sunday brunch? They are so nice Evan is so nice too !!!

We stopped in on New Years Day, early afternoon, the place was not very busy. Cool looking industrial look and feel. Nice bar area, several tables. Cool booths that are cozy and private. We ordered bottle service mimosas and chose two types of juice; our waitress refilled the juice several times as I tend to mix mine a but weak. We were greeted and waters were provided immediately. We had dinner plans later, so we stuck with an appetizer of the loaded waffle fries. They arrived crispy and loaded with toppings. This was a great choice as it was large enough to split, and it tasted amazing. Really cool spot downtown!

Bottle mimosa

Stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't crowded. Service was food. We started with a mimosa. We did orange juice with strawberry puree and also pineapple juice. Mimosas were delicious! We just got an appetizer. The waffle fries were delicious! The fries were nice and crispy loaded with warm cheese sauce and ranch drizzle. It was also topped with bacon and chives!

Standard Hall has that chill inducing, public building-type polished concrete flooring with the late 1800s Victorian London-type of wooden walls and doorways, all painted black. Add in lots of windows with plenty of natural light and you have a really nice place to spend your time. The service was very good too, as my waitress was nice and relaxed. You could tell there was no tension in her body when she talked to me, which was refreshing. As for the food, I thought the signature fried chicken sandwich was fine, but I think their bun situation needs a second look - it fell apart on me making for a messy experience. Unfortunately I didn't see the paper sleeves holding the silverware in the beer bucket at the head of the table until it was too late. I really enjoyed the loaded waffle fries though. The sandwich and the half price Happy Hour waffle fries, water to drink, came to $25 total after tax and 21% tip. I was disappointed, however, to learn I was billed for a side of waffle fries served with the sandwich. As I also ordered the loaded fries, I told the waitress to hold the side and she did. So not sure why I was billed for them. By the way, parking is difficult. You might have to park on a side street and hike the distance.

During my visit to Columbus, almost everyone I talked to recommended "Standard" as the go-to place for drinks. We tried a couple bars before ending up at Standard and it was by far the coolest place we went to. If I had to sum it up in one sentence it would probably be: great vibes, great music, great space, great prices. They have two large bar areas, a big indoor patio area and an outdoor seating area. We didn't get any food, but the people next to us got macaroni and cheese and it looked delicious! Forewarning though, this place does get pretty packed on the weekends! Overall, this isn't just your 'standard' bar!

Nashville chicken sandwich

Started our bar crawl at Standard Hall and the place was very nice! It had a big bar, an indoor area, outdoor patio, and even another section for live music. We sat at the bar and ordered beers and food there. I got the Nashville chicken sandwich and it wasn't that good. It was too much fried dough and not enough chicken. The ladies working the bar were very friendly and took great care of us, Definitely a place with a great atmosphere, just a bummer the sandwich wasn't good.

Who doesn't love a good brunch spot? Standard Hall has some great brunch options and drinks! Also a great spot for a night out as well! I got the fish sandwich (was not overly impressed, very breaded and not much flavor) but the side of fries were great and a huge portion! My bf got the chicken sandwich with tots and enjoyed it! Not pictured was the cinnamon toast crunch sticks (was not a fan unfortunately) But still giving 4 stars because I love the service here, the vibe and I think I just need to try some other food options!

Orange juice

The orange juice was so yummy and good. The staff was so nice and very helpful. Would recommend.

Nashville Hot Pizza
Joey G.

Ambiance is great! They play great music that everyone will enjoy. Outside patio has a game for everyone. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the Nashville hot pizza. I think it had a little bit too much ranch, but overall the flavor was really good! Come here with friends to get dinner before you walk and enjoy the short north!

The food is ok but the drinks are very pricey and are water down and are not worth the price. The atmosphere is very loud.

Serving from Studio 35 this pizza place is the real deal. All are 12 inches and the chewy, doughy…read moredelicious crust. We had the Fig-a-ma-jig which is Garlic EVOO base, house cheese, goat cheese, prosciutto, organic Smyrna figs, organic arugula, fig glaze. Also did the Hot Swarm which is House red sauce, House Cheese, Ezzo cup & char pepperoni, ricotta, pepper flake, Triple Hex hot honey. Both delicious though I'm more savory so preferred the Hot Swarm. I would have liked it spicier. But overall delicious.

The Sauce Deserves 5 Stars... The Crust, Not So Much!…read more Stopped by Fibonacci's last Monday to check out their Monday pizza special. We were told specialty pizzas were $12 and Neapolitan-style pizzas were $10. I decided on the Detroit-style pizza, thinking it qualified as a specialty pizza. Apparently not! I found out afterward that it wasn't included in the special, which was a little frustrating given how the pricing was explained. As for the pizza itself, I have mixed feelings. First, THE SAUCE! Absolutely amazinggggg! Rich, flavorful, and easily the star of the pizza. The toppings were delicious, too. Honestly, the flavors had me excited after the first bite. But the dough? That's where things went downhill. It appeared that the dough hadn't been properly proofed, resulting in a dense, undercooked crust. Detroit-style pizza should have a beautiful balance of a crispy exterior and a light, airy interior, and unfortunately, this one missed that mark. Here's the thing, though: I'm not giving up on Fibonacci's! The sauce was THAT good. I'd actually love to try the exact same pizza with a Neapolitan-style crust to see whether the dough makes all the difference. So yes, I'll be back! There's definitely potential here, and I'm hoping my next visit delivers the complete experience. Because seriously... that sauce deserves its flowers!

You ever walk into a place and think, there's no way something special is hiding in here?…read more Yeah....That was me. An old tavern in Columbus. Dim. Historic. The kind of spot where you expect a solid beer and maybe some decent bar food. What you don't expect? One of the best Detroit-style pizzas of your life hiding behind a window in the back like some carb-based speakeasy. And when I say hidden, I mean hidden. No flashy signage. No "best pizza in town" ego. Just a quiet little window cranking out square pies that deserve a standing ovation. I ordered the classic red top -- already a bold move -- and added pesto because balance matters and I like to live a little. The result? Beyond reproach. Fresh, loaded toppings. Sauce with depth. And that crust... that beautiful Detroit crust. Crispy edges with that caramelized cheese halo, but still chewy and pillowy inside. The textural contrast is what separates amateurs from legends -- and this? This was legend-level execution. Easily top 3 Detroit-style pizzas I've had. And that's not a casual statement. If you don't understand the life-altering power of true Detroit-style pizza, I regret to inform you... you have not been living. Go find the window in the back. Trust me.

I've had Pie of the Tiger for takeout and now within the confines of Short North Tavern. You can't…read morelose with either, but I'd definitely recommend the dine-in experience (just because I'm a fan of Short North Tavern). But these creative Detroit-style pies are tasty, filling, and make great leftovers, which can't be said of all pizzas. Most recently, I enjoyed my Meatball Sundae pizza very much. And I was pleased with the slice of the Dill Thrill that I traded for with my wife. The dueling flavor profiles created magic. With many more pizza combinations to try, you haven't seen the last of me, Pie of the Tiger!

We started with the Parmesan breadsticks and got both the garlic butter and pizza sauce for dipping. I took one bite with the pizza sauce and immediately thought, "Yep. THAT'S IT." Something about their red sauce just does not work for me. It's incredibly thick -- almost like drywall mud -- and while it definitely has flavor, it's just not a flavor my taste buds enjoy. HOWEVER...the breadsticks with the garlic butter?! Some of the best I've had. Seriously delicious. So this time I decided to avoid the red sauce altogether and ordered the chicken pesto pizza. And THAT was the move! It was fantastic. The crust was perfect, the toppings were delicious and plentiful, and the pesto worked so much better for me. My daughter devoured her BBQ chicken pizza, my sister thoroughly enjoyed her six cheese, and those breadsticks were so good that I ordered another batch to take home. Our server was super friendly and efficient and the vibe inside was chill. So after all these years, I can finally say it: I DO like Adriatico's! ...I just have to stay far, far away from that red sauce.
