I was in last night for pool league. Service was a bit sketchy. Drinks were strong, music was great.this is the proto dive bar...should offend some and scare some.regulars were CAF. Pretty good time had by all. Thanks read more

Lex was super nice and conversational.. made sure I got what I needed and even offered to look into a specific brand I was looking for...

Fun place for pool and chillin. I used to easily spend an extra $20 here just playing music on the jukebox and they took all my songs off today I still wanna play pool but sad they had to kill the music. read more

Thirsty Turtle - Billiard tables - Bars Near Me - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

I went in for a drink. He wanted my handbag and to search me. Why? The place was nasty. What would I want to steal? He took my bag out of my hand and walked off with it. The bartender told me to get out. It was obvious they didnt want ME there. My civil rights were violated. They will be hearing from me...The place sucked. ​ read more

Only the regular's get service. If you walk in to try the place, you get ignored and they look at you like you have 3 heads.

Kind of a dive bar, definitely needs some work. But the beer was good and the service was friendly. Skip the bathrooms

This bar sucks. It's huge and affordable but it doesn't seem safe. I went once and someone got beat up and no one even reacted everyone acted like it's normal. read more

What can I say about the Turtle..... It's definitely a townie bar...the usual mix in here are the trailer park trash and ghetto hood rats. The music can vary they have a juke box and sometimes a DJ on the weekends. The drinks are cheap, they have alright bar food (nothing to brag about) and it's a close to home bar when you want to chill and maybe watch a game without a huge crowd. Is it cultured, sophisticated, or even a place soccer moms and Short North/German Village Yuppies would hang????? Definitely not. But ladies if you don't want to be harrassed, want to drink on a dime, come in your sweats/pajamas, have a chill conversation with friends then this may be your place. FYI: The wait/bartenders are pretty nice and make strong drinks for the cheap* read more

The Turtle is my local of choice but I havent been there in a while. I dont recommend driving far for this place. Nothing about it would stand out more than your own local. I will say the staff is nice. They are even better once they know your face. The food is actually pretty tasty. I often stop by here for a rum and coke & mushrooms on my way home from work. I also come here to shoot pool once in a while and have a few beers with friends. People are gonna say this place is Ghetto and I would have to say thats not exactly true. Its a good mix here, the music can jump from Snoop to Linkin Park to ACDC to Toby Keith in just a few minutes. I could go to a lot of other bars, but I find the Turtle comfortable. I dont dress up too much and I dont feel like Im being compared or judged, and I dont feel threatened either. So if your in the area and looking for a place to just chill, then maybe this is a spot for you. read more

Good food. Don't let the location fool you.. These people know how to cook. I swear the fried chicken was a perfect balance between crispy, salty, bready goodness, that wraps a perfectly cooked moist piece of delectable chicken. I could gush more over the sides, creamy Mac and cheese, that seems to have no processed cheese added (like most restraint Mac and cheese). Along with, mashed potatoes that make you want to undo a belt notch and go nuts. Complaining about this locations address is a moot point. Honestly I don't want it to be anywhere else.. Then I would have to worry about higher prices and long queues. Long live the thirsty turtle. read more

It's an okay place. Kind of like a hole in the wall. Drink prices vary depending on who is bar tending. My friends and I go when no one feels like driving far just to enjoy drinks and play some pool. read more

Definitely felt like i was in the middle of west virginia.. very country lol! This is a local neighborhood bar... if your looking for classy this is not for you..but they have good food & Im a fan of taco tuesdays:) .75 beef tacos and 1.25 chicken tacos cant go wrong with tacos in my book and they are pretty good quality there! read more

Great Service! Bartenders are friendly,fast and make Amazing drinks!!! And by far the best wings in Columbus!!!

The Thirsty Turtle has quickly become our new hangout. The atmosphere is partially that of a sports bar, and partially that of a pool hall. They have a large selection of liquors, great daily specials, and $4 48oz pitchers of bud family beers all day every day, no need to wait for happy hour! The times ive been iin there, it's been a really relaxed environment, but i havent hit it up during any major sporting events yet. The bartenders are really friendly, and have no problem changing tvs over to a different show for patrons, and are usually really attentive. The only exception i saw the times we've been there was when a bachelorette party came in buying shots and cocktails (pricier drinks = bigger tips = forget the beer drinkers on the other side of the bar). Aside from that, the music is all played via touchtunes, so it varies from night to night. read more

My baeu and i just moved to the area of columbus and realized we needed a 'go to bar' for those nights when you nerd a beer in a chill atmosphere. We have been to this bar twice now. The drinks have been strong and at a great price. The attached Wendys Kitchen had the best mozzerella sticks ive ever tasted. read more

Read whole review: Went 40 min out of my way for their hand breaded wings because they are worth it. Made the mistake of getting my beer first. Bartender was fast but ordering from separate kitchen was at 903. They close at 9. I explained I came that far for his wings...he told me when they opened next day. Will I come back? Probably they have wings that good. Do others? Hell yes. read more

Great East side family owned bar and restaurant. Unpretentious. Relaxing. Fun. Super reasonable prices. Very cool with its mixed clientele - black and white, young and old, urban and honkytonk. One of the few places in Columbus like this. Great place to shoot pool, hang out with friends, go solo and not feel lonely. Wished I didn't live 45 minutes away - would visit much more often! read more
