5 reviews for Columbus Bar
| Alerider (27), Indianapolis, Indiana | | March 23, 2009 This is the type of place that would be easy to ignore or not to find based on the outside appearance. That would be a mistake! Outstanding selection, service and value. I’ll be back. | | Tmoney99 (254), Cincinnati, Ohio | | July 12, 2008 Street parking in front and lot parking. Clean older building with brewing in the front and bar in center with tables for food and beverages. Sixteen Indiana standards with one Powerhouse on tap. All were drinkable brews. Freindly bartender with good knowledge of brews. The menu had starters and sandwichs. Nice bike ride location and I will stop again. | | SpudClampDawg (43), Jasper, Indiana | | May 4, 2008 We had only a short time to stop by this bar before heading to a meeting but I am so glad we did. Very old feel to the interior - high ceilings, long shotgun style restaurant. The atmosphere is kind of dumpy, but in a good way. A real nice neighborhood tavern thing going on. The tap list was short but interesting. A couple beer from the Brugge Brasserie caught my eye as well as Founders Devil Dancer and Stone RIS. A respectable bottle collection took up three shelves of the corner cooler as well. The most interesting thing about this bar is the small brewery setup in the front window (formally known as Power House Brewing). A mash tun, small conical fermenter and two conditioning tanks were crammed into a five foot section in the front of the building. The waitress wasn’t sure of the batch sizes, but judging by the conical I would say that is a 21 gallon operation. She said that they are able to condition two beers at once, but they only had one on tap when we visted. The milk stout was very well made and respectable. This bar is worth a stop if you are travelling I-65 between Indy and Louisville and you want to pull off for a nice pint and a good sandwich. | | shrubber85 (59), Wallhalben, Germany | | January 16, 2008 A Columbus landmark. Used to be a BMC bastion but now the best place to get a nice pint. The best place to get quality beer from tap in the area. Some great regional food. The only house brew I had was well made - hopefully will keep this up. A ray of light for my hometown - hopefully will have a long life. | | Optigon (41), Bloomington, Indiana | | July 2, 2007 Not a bad spot. Ambiance is rather clean, simple. Booths and a bar.
Service-wise, the staff was very helpful, however, often the more oddball beers weren’t available. The menus could use updating.
Selection is pretty decent. Approximately 4-5 beers were on Nitro tap, which made for a fun change of pace.
Food was burgers and chips. Nothing crazy, however their Fried Green Tomato sandwich was good.
Not a bad spot. They recently started into brewing their own beer. Decent selection and moderately priced. |
