It caters to a clientele that's mostly Gen X's with a few Boomers and Gen Y's mixed in. It's definitely an alternative to the typical sports bar scene that attracts the meat market, d-bag, bro and hipster crowd. I've got to tell you that this is a great place to relax after a rough day. If you feel like putting your feet up and talking with a few friends or maybe even if you want to bring in a book and sit and read for a while, there's an uber comfortable love seat and some chairs that are very butt friendly. You can grab a cocktail at the bar or have a seat at one of the tables and order some dinner to be brought over from the attached China Bell Restaurant. The Spicy Crab Rangoon are wonderful by the way... This is a legit cocktail lounge. They have a full bar and Carla the bartender pours a good drink. Their beer selection covers all the basics and they've got a few crafts for variety. This place only has two Yelp reviews even though they've been here for about 2 years now, so I'm going to call this place a true hidden gem. It's one of my favorite places to go for cocktails. Want to join me sometime?

If you're expecting anything fancy you're in the wrong bar. The service is average which makes it comparatively good. Any bar in this town is a dive bar. It's just called being realistic. This place isn't much different except that it's the most popular because it's named for the only reason most people know anything about this town. If you're going at any other time of the year it's usually not too busy. They of course have pumpkin flavored beer, cocktails, and shots. It's about $3 for something like an old fashioned. The prices are pretty good, which makes it worth checking out. I would go to Tootle's the next time in Circleville. If you're there at the festival expect it to be filled to the gills. The rest of the year has some good shows too.

A bunch of us Columbusites went down to Roundtown last night to see Wayne "The Train" Hancock (with Whitey Morgan and the Old 78's) at Tootles. It's a pretty nice bar/music venue, with ample standing room and plenty of local flavor. I wouldn't say rush down to Circleville when nothing is going on there, but if there's a show you want to see, this is a comfy and friendly venue. I do think it's hilarious that the Circleville Pumpkin Festival is such a big deal - ze boy and I were slightly weirded out by it (and the general lack of pumpkin-ness!) when we went on its last day a couple weeks ago, but I won't knock the only major thing Circleville, OH is known for. I will say, though, that the legacy lives on at Tootle's, which uses the pumpkin as a theme on its tshirts, for its drinks, etc etc. (I wasn't drinking, so I can't tell you about that part, except that my friends were downing tall boys of beers I didn't know came in tall boys - Miller High Life, for example)... Anyway, I like the space, as its large, open, and friendly. I enjoyed watching hipsters mingle with rockabillies mingle with townies mingle with my metalhead/Columbus freak friends. Everyone seemed to get along, and everyone knew all the words to Wayne the Train's songs, which made it even more fun. Like I said, this is a good local venue/pub. If you're in town, and looking for a good place to go, I'd say go here. But you can find the same in Columbus without driving 45 minutes, so just keep that in mind. Tootles does seem to have a lot of quality country/southern rock shows going on, so if you like that kind of music, definitely take a look at their schedule. I definitely recommend Wayne Hancock and Whitey Morgan. And of course, Tootles, should you be in Circleville!

Top 5 Wing Spot Alert -- Galloway Tavern…read more Let's get straight to it: if you're serious about wings, Galloway Tavern belongs on your list. I've been on a personal tour of Columbus wing joints, and this spot has easily earned a Top 5 ranking. I came here on a tip from my brother and his friend who swore the wings were "worth the drive." And I mean deep West Side drive. If you're not from the area, I'll be real -- the vibe at first glance might throw you. It's the kind of place you second-guess from the parking lot. But walk in, sit down, and give it five minutes -- because it turns out to be one of the most welcoming and cool little bar spots around. I ordered the Hot Garlic Wings (6 count) and they were outstanding. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned before being sauced -- a detail more places need to get right. Flavor was bold without being overpowering, and they came out fresh, not rushed. I'm already planning a return for the Carolina Gold or Sweet Chili. They keep it straightforward with drinks -- bottled Pepsi products and water. No fuss, just the basics. Atmosphere -wise, it's very much a West Side bar -- local energy, regulars at the counter, music low enough to talk over. The people were kind, the staff was attentive, and once inside, it feels easygoing and familiar. It's the kind of spot where someone might compliment your glasses or say little to nothing at all -- totally unexpected, totally sincere. First-Timer Notes: * Wings are the move. Start with Hot Garlic. * Don't judge the book by the cover -- inside is chill, safe, and welcoming. * Beverage options are bottled and simple. * There's a front and rear entrance -- the rear might not have the "open" light on, but it's good to go. * Parking is fairly easy.

After 35 minutes and no drink, we left. Will never go back. Bartenders only catered to people they knew.

Horrible music, very strong drinks!…read more The place is exactly what you need to forget about the worries of the day. It is dark, has a pool table, patio, jukebox, the 'regulars' lined up along the massive bar, tvs everywhere and munchies (for when you know you will be feeling the after effects the next day). I met a friend here to catch up and dish about my latest heartbreak. The bartenders make some strong drinks, so it was easy to forget about the reason I met her there. The people watching consisted of a bunch of guys playing pool and a bunch of guys staring at us- the only 2 females in the place other than the bartenders. The guys were friendly and tried to make conversation. The interior of the place was really nice, booths lined the exterior walls and the bar was, as I said, huge. I probably would not feel comfortable going back alone, as I sort of felt like a slab of meat on the butcher's block. As I went there just to have a couple drinks and talk to my friend, it served it's purpose.

Also tried the battered fish and fries. The wings...solid. Fried the way I like with the right amount of sauce. Top 5 wing easily. The shocker was the fish and the Cole slaw! Soooo good! The slaw was like (but better) than KFC, which I love. The fresh cut fries were also crazy good with a shape that can only be described as overgrown Elephant Man toenails lol. But in a good way! All washed down with a Sonder IPA. This was a lot of food for the money. The vibe was also cool here. Variety of folks and everyone cool. Pool tables in the back with classic rock playing. Just a really good experience with awesome food. I'll definitely stop back when I'm working in the area. Man I need to take a small cup of this Cole slaw with me. For real.

The place has that classic small-town dive bar feel, the kind of spot where you walk in expecting a casual bite and end up being pleasantly surprised by how good the food actually is. It's relaxed, welcoming, and feels like a place locals probably keep to themselves. We started with something called Hillbilly Calamari, and despite the name, there's no squid involved. Instead, it's sliced banana peppers lightly breaded and fried, served with ranch. They were crispy, tangy, and had just the right little kick. A really fun and unique starter. Served with ranch dressing 9/10 But the wings absolutely stole the show. They're slow smoked first and then flash fried, which gives them a great smoky flavor while keeping the outside crispy and the inside juicy and tender. I tried two flavors -- Cody's mix which was Bourbon BBQ mixed with spicy garlic which had a great smoky flavor a sweet and savory richness with a hint of kick from the bourbon and I ordered the Spicy Garlic, which packed a bold garlicky heat that really popped. Both wings were excellent. 20/10 And of course, you can't go wrong with the fresh-cut fries on the side. Fries were good, but could have been a little crispier for my preference. 7/10 One of the coolest things about the place is the grill right behind the bar, where you can watch them as they're cooking your burger while you watch. It adds to that laid-back, old-school bar atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel authentic. Katy was are server and she was super friendly and on top of refills and kept checking on us. This is definitely a place that makes you feel comfortable and welcome. If you're anywhere near Ashville, this is definitely worth a stop. Great wings, fun appetizers, and a relaxed neighborhood vibe make it a place I'd happily come back to for another bite!! Have a great day from Brian From Brian's Big Bite
