Love the atmosphere, I got here a little early so I missed the karaoke that happens on Fridays. I came in for a drink after long day, but saw they have food as well, I got grippos wings and fries. 10/10, bartender was great, might of been the nicest bartender I've ever met. I could've sat and chatted with him all evening, made us feel welcome. Will definitely be back! read more

The male Bartender who I later found out was the owner of the bar gave my friend's card away to a random person. Those said people proceeded to use her card for the rest of the night making multiple charges causing her a lot of stress and turmoil. I just hope she is able to get those charge disputed. Do not come here and if you do use cash. read more

one of the bartenders gave my card to someone else when they went to close out so thanks for giving me an errand to call my bank for fraud

Stopped in for a break from Christmas shopping. It's been several years since I've been here and it appeared nicer than I remembered. The friendly bartender said the management is fairly new. I love Karaoke and they have it twice a week. Karaoke stage is great and can imagine how fun it would be. Solid bar and looking forward to a karaoke night with friends. read more

Great place to hang with the boys. Food, Drinks, and plenty of dart boards for everyone.

If you're looking for that conveniently located neighborhood bar, you just found it - as long as you live near Morse & Hamilton, of course. Snuggled in between Blockbuster Video and Marshall's within the friendly confines of Stoneridge Plaza is this atypical, local-yocal watering hole. With a true following of devoted patrons, the Alumni Club is aptly named. It's a sports bar through-and-through. You won't have trouble watching your favorite game at the standard O-shaped bar that's surrounded by tables and chairs. There's even a dance floor in the back for those of us courageous enough to flaunt our talents after a few high balls. The food is created in perfect harmony with their beverage selections...fried and greasy. What else goes better with beer? I can't highly recommend the Alumni Club, because it's not my style. It's a bit dark and their men's room needs a good scrubbing and/or remodeling. You can tell a lot about an establishment by their bathrooms. So, the moral of the story is: before you order your food...visit the bathroom. read more

I came here with some friends for Friday karaoke and the bartender mistook me for someone that had thrown up in the bathroom, she notified the owner Rick who cut me off. It really killed the whole mood, I didn't want to get into it with him to try and clarify, so we ended up leaving. I hadn't even been to the bathroom, and I had just ordered a single beer which was my first of the night that I drank over a half hour sitting with my group... When he handed me a water he accused me of stumbling... I guess he's the gait police too. Shame too because there aren't too many places for karaoke on Friday. The place has lots of games and the dance floor/karaoke stage has nice acoustics, so if you are sitting at the bar or a table its never too loud. The place is top notch but the service is prejudiced. I can't really put into words how disappointed I am, -- 2 stars for the facility. read more

Great little tavern hidden away in the Stoneridge shopping center. Perfect place to grab a few drinks before a movie, or a few after dinner. Or could grab one of their delicious pizzas as well. Big dance floor and a great dart board and pool table as well. read more

Good service

Great place. The sunday night karaoke is a blast!!!!! Suzie, behind the bar is awsome

When you first see the Alumni Club Sportsbar & Grill it is a typical sports bar, 8 TVs above the bar, two BIG screen projectors TVs on the dance floor, and 1 more projector TV by the pool table and dart board. But once you sit down you are greeted by a great bartender, whom will shortly become a friend that you will want to come back and see. If dancing is your delight then go up on a Friday or Saturday night. . . Alumni has a great dance floor which is always packed! The DJ is now showing the video with the songs he plays, so it really feels like the band in right there with you. However if just chilling out people watching is your thing, Alumni has great views from any seat in the joint. . . now to help pass the time they have KENO with 4 screens so you can watch your numbers any direction you look! I have been going to Alumni for many of years now, and believe me I will continue to go for many more! read more

Long known as a bar for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, they now only carry local tv stations - we're so disappointed! For several years a group of us have enjoyed the fun atmosphere with other fans. Additionally, they've gotten rid of most of their kitchen and now only serve pizza and subs ( and didn't have dough when we were there for the first game of the NFL season; we ordered from 101 Beer Kitchen). While the bartenders have always been nice, we won't return without having access to more games. I can get a watered-down margarita somewhere else. read more

The Alumni Club has been a "staple" in the Gahanna area for over two decades. If you visit their website you'll read that their main focus is to provide "a great place to hang with your friends and enjoy a night out" and "a great club style environment." However, please don't be fooled by this false advertising because apparently this bar is still stuck in the year it was established (1996). A group of Columbus nurses stopped by The Alumni Club after their annual holiday Christmas party. All was well until the supposed "bouncer" made a homophobic comment towards one of the females in the group. This female is a lesbian and his cowardly response to what clearly made him feel uncomfortable was to exclaim "get that sh*t out of here!" Brief words were exchanged between the bouncer and the female and this exchange ended with the bouncer swinging his arm at her and throwing her beer into her face. The staff (manager included) then proceeded to tell this woman she had to leave. Several bystanders confronted the staff about the situation and were in return told to leave as well. As the female was actively collecting her things and saying her goodbyes the same bouncer approached her from behind, physically forced her hands behind her back, and aggressively escorted her out of the bar. 'Tis the season to be verbally and physically harassed. I don't think I have ever posted a review before but I just couldn't bite my tongue when it came to this. I hope this review proves to be useful and that none of you reading this support this establishment. I'll end this review by providing a list of bars in the area that don't harass their customers based on their sexual preference.

Ignore all past reviews, they mean nothing in 2021. No longer a sports bar because TVs were removed, sports memorabilia was taken down replaced with drab gray walls. The kitchen was removed as well. Everything that made it a quaint, cozy bar has been stripped away. Now what's left is a former sports bar that has seen its better days past, which will never return. What made it a fun, exciting bar to hang out in and have drinks with friends is long gone. The fun, upbeat Friday and Saturday nights have been replaced with sad depression. The Alumni Club in 2021 is a sad, empty shell of its self. read more

I've been in this little place a few times now... Every time I come into town I manage to make a stop in here. I'm glad I do too!! The bartenders are friendly and drink pours are even better. They serve food and have a dance floor (although I never make it off my bar seat, lol) Did I mention they keno!!! Greatest game ever read more

First time every stopping into the alumni club, the bartenders were great and friendly. They make one of the best Alabama slammer I've ever had. The Idols kitchen was amazing. Loved the food and the portions huge for the price. read more

Great pub! Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Come on out for a pint! And say hi to Lori read more

They will charge you for stuff you DID NOT ASK FOR and if you complain they kick you out forcibly. DO NOT GO HERE.

Really enjoyed the Alumni Club. Went in last Sunday evening and and had a great time with good food and very nice service! Ordered chili tater tots and fried pickles and they were delicious. We also ordered burgers with sweet potato fries and ended up taking them home due to filling appetizers. First visit here but definitely not the last. Fun and relaxing with all the games on TV. read more

I didn't order drinks (as I had plenty before arriving), but I will comment on 1) the awesome and inviting dance floor and 2) the request-accepting DJ. I'm from Chicago and was in Gahanna visiting friends. Had a blast and would definitely return! read more

They serve food now! It's incredible, I had the Jucy Lucy which is a half pound burger stuffed with cheese and loved it! Cooked to perfection with some amazing crispy fries. read more

They advertise "Watch all NFL Games here", however....2 tv's had the Cleveland game and the other 10 or 12 had Pittsburgh game....that's it!!!!! Not very welcoming read more

Drinks here are a little pricey, but overall its a very good place. Foods pretty good and the bartenders are cool guys. My roommate and I go here a lot and have never not had a good time. The crowd is far from mixed though. I will warn you almost everyone in the bar is 35 and over it seems read more

Not a bad places at all. But warning to Browns fans it's a Steelers bar. So if you go there be ready. Here we go Brownies here we go. If it wasn't a Steelers bar I would give it a 4 star rating. read more

This place gets weird after midnight. One miller light bottle is $3.50. Go to Butters Bar or Hamilton's Pub down the road because they charge normal prices. read more

Best Karaoke night ever! The Karaoke Lab crew and the bartender Suzy are so much fun. Drink prices are low and the show absolutely entertains. Every Sunday night starting at 8pm until 2am...you can't go wrong. We watched the game, played pool and darts while enjoying the best Karaoke show we have ever seen. Great job Alumni Club! read more

Can't really go wrong here, always clean respectable place and the crowd is a good mix of ages etc. to make everyone feel comfortable. nice pool tables, dance floor, dart boards.....drink prices are solid. So for a late night place to get out you could do a lot worse. read more

We always have a good time whether we are going to dance or watch the game or just chill and have a few drinks. The nights they have a DJ and lights going are SO much fun. read more

I'm giving 2 stars to what I would generally consider a 4 star experience for one main reason, the DJ. This place is generally great, friendly staff, good drinks, great prices, and they remember you when you go in often, but the main downfall is the DJ that appears EVERY Friday and Saturday night. They have a nice dance floor and the crowd is pretty fun, but the DJ has the same playlist EVERY SINGLE TIME. Oh, and don't bother trying to make a request because if you are male he will rudely tell you no and roll his eyes, and if you are female unless you are throwing yourself at him he will either ignore you or rudely tell you he doesn't take requests....I didn't know that was a thing for a DJ. I wish I were exaggerating but depending on the time you arrive I can tell you exactly what songs you will hear and fairly accurately predict the order for you (including how many times you will hear the song: Black Widow twice once with the video from Avengers & once with the real video; Marry Me twice; each line dancing song twice). That said, if the DJ would mix it up, the music taste isn't bad. There is a decent mix of old and new, but they SERIOUSLY need to consider mixing it up. I moved to Gahanna from downtown in August and was going pretty consistently at least once a week, but my boyfriend and I get sick of the exact same playlist over and over and over and over again. I love this place, I just really wish they would do something about the repetition because it's going to force us to find a new place to frequent. read more

Fun place to go dance after 11pm on Fri or Sat night. Expect to see drunk knuckleheads lined up along the dance floor but they are relatively harmless. Diverse crowd that seems welcoming to everyone. You can see drunk 20 years olds and drunk 60-70 years olds on the dance floor at the same time. The mixed drink prices are okay but the shots are expensive. Stick with basic mixed drinks and watch the pours so you don't doubt whether there is any alcohol in the drinks or not. A fun local spot to go at the end of an evening if you live in the Gahanna/Westerville area. read more

Laurie is great and makes kick ass apple martinis and service along with food is awesome!

The bar as a whole makes you feel like you've stepped through a time portal, and not in a good way. Dark, dingy, lack of attention, and lack of investment are a few words to describe the bar as a whole. On weekends you'll find a decent dance floor, although the clientele isn't exactly tasteful past 11pm on Friday/Saturday. One of the bar managers is about 5'4" and has the little man complex to a T. He is a total clown who lacks any type of customer service and he walks around with a size Smedium shirt on like his crap don't stink, it's very off putting. This place is a dump... and the beers aren't cheap enough to justify any return read more

WOW!! This is it. Sitting at the bar and accused of sleeping. Two Miller Lights and waiting on the bride to finish dancing. What is more amaziing is as soon as the called me out for sleeping at the bar they served me a double bombay on the the rocks. Didn't even drink it. Will not be back. read more
