This is my new favorite bar. Generally, sports bars for me are a necessary evil - I want to watch the game, with friends, in public. The usual choices in this regard are sadly limited and completely void of personality. I have been to Gallo’s three times now and each time has been an excellent experience. They cover the basics of service, food and beer exceptionally. The service in particular is great. The staff treats you like you a guest, not like an intruder -- which is something that’s hard to find in bars these days. It’s also near impossible to find a bad seat in the house. With this high quality, I will continue to be impressed and will make this my first choice.

To be fair I was pretty well buzzed by the time I got here. But I’m living near by, and I’ll re rate if I feel the need. It’s nice inside, good layout, plenty of TV’s for what it is. The service was pretty good, but it was also dead when I was there. Food was quite good. I had some Pierogies and a sandwich. Both I enjoyed. Beer was a solid ohio selection, any place I can get Two Hearted on tap is a good place in my book. Nothing outstanding by any means, but more than passable.

A great neighborhood establishment. Good food, good drinks, good service, and people having a good time. Lots of TVs with sports on them, and a flatscreen in every booth. Bravo.

Gallo’s is located on Bethel/Olentangy in the Olentangy shopping plaza next to a K-Mart and check-cashing place, but we’ll forgive them. Plenty of parking is nearby.

Inside is pretty close to the ideal bar for me. Cork dartboards, flatscreen TVs at every booth (some with video games), pool, good music and of course a bar in the middle of it all with some good beers. They also bought another space next door to expand the dining area.

As for the beers, on draught are a couple Bell’s selections, Columbus Brewing (the Apricot ale re-branded as "Gallo’s Tap", Tommyknocker, Flying Dog and others. In bottles you can find GLBC, Rogue, Columbus brewing and others. Not a huge selection but enough to keep most beer lovers happy.

The service both at the bar and in the dining area is good. The place is still relatively new but had a full house on a Thursday night which is a good sign.

The food here is pretty damn good. Gallo’s prides itself on not using microwaves or heating lamps. The food is pricey and is cooked by the person who used to work at Liberty St. Brewing in Akron. The $8 burger/fries I had was excellent.

I will definitely be visiting this place again!
