I'm already looking forward to my next excuse to visit Columbus so I can come back to Honest…read moreFriend. Venture off the beaten path for a great selection of tasty lower-ABV beer options, a bright, clean space with lots of seating options, a lovely patio, and friendly bartenders. The space itself is so welcoming - and big! They were wrapping up a singles event in their private space when we visited, and we had no issues parking, finding comfortable seats, or ordering beers. They had an onsite food truck and a stack of craft supplies to create your own art that's hung around the brewery. I love their branding concept (super whimsical art and merch) and their beer (brewed by former Seventh Son brewer) is fantastic and refreshing. Since their offerings are on the lower end of the ABV scale, I could easily see myself posting up here for hours, chatting, playing cards, and just vibing. Huge fan of Honest Friend! They stand out in a city with lots of options.

Exactly what the name implies- a very honest and friendly place in deed…read more Honest friend brewing really is a refreshing establishment that's off the beaten path of the short north, brewery/arena district, downtown etc and provides a "homie" environment with great bartenders and service! The beer is tasty and I love that they are canning now. And if you're there on a Friday or Saturday evening/night - you can catch The best ramen in Columbus (Red Rabbit Ramen)

The brewery has a very cool atmosphere. You can definitely see the connection to Antiques on High, but it has its own unique vibe and personality. It felt welcoming and relaxed, making it an easy place to spend some time. We tried a few beers, and they were all excellent. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience even better. As a bonus, we even met some fellow Steelers fans while we were there, which made the visit even more memorable! Great beer, great people, and a great atmosphere. We'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're exploring the Columbus brewery scene.

I tried the Icelandic Saga Nordic Ale and the Bier School Pilsner. Both refreshing and delicious. 5 stars for fun and kind hospitality.

I ordered a flight of four drinks and loved that I could mix and match between beers and ciders to create my own tasting experience. Everything I tried was enjoyable. The outdoor patio was the highlight of my visit. It overlooks a beautiful pond and creates such a peaceful atmosphere. There were also two outdoor fireplaces, and the bartender was kind enough to light them for us, making the space feel even more cozy and relaxing. The brewery has a great vibe overall--comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for spending an afternoon unwinding. As a bonus, they had the most gigantic skeleton displayed inside that I've ever seen. It immediately caught my attention, and now I'm convinced I need one for Halloween! Great drinks, friendly service, and a beautiful setting. I'd definitely visit again.

There were a lot of fun seasonal options to choose from so that made things interesting. We grabbed a round of drinks before hopping to the next spot so it was a great stop for that. Not sure if it was just too early or what for our server though he seemed really stoic and disinterested while we were ordering. But eh that's okay I know we all have our bad days too lol

Last time we ate here it was the same day as a local event. The restaurant ran out of chicken and…read moreit took an hour for our food to come out (our child's meal as well). We went today for Father's Day, about six months after the last sub par experience, hoping it would be better. Somehow they ran out of chicken again?! AND lemonade, and they had no kids menus left. Food took forever. I ordered a glass of wine that never arrived - and when we got our check it's just a tablet with a price. We wanted to leave so I didn't even check to see if the wine was still on there. Food was cold, salad was soggy, burger was very meh. For $150 it was overall a bad experience for the second time in a row. Definitely spend your money at any of the other local restaurants in town.

"No Soliciting " is a bar we found online - but didn't realize is a private club for members only. We tried The Pearl next door. They were closing in minutes. So we found that North High was the next closest place that closed at 10:00pm. We were also desperate for a restroom. We walked in - the place was devoid of customers - and the bar tender was NOT happy to see us. She had a very long day - and was yearning to "Just. Go. Home." We've all been there. She agreed to let us have one drink in plastic cups - completely understandable. But she messed up by letting us stay - completely underestimating the level of style & charm (not to mention handsomeness) my colleague and I possess *wink* . "One drink" turned into a handful. A good time was had by all. We hated that we had an early morning the next day - and had to return to our hotel well before we would have liked. I will make North High a "mandatory stop" on future visits (alongside my other "mandatory stop" - The Rusty Bucket for their buffalo chicken sandwich - with an extra side of buffalo). Side note - she gave me a taste of their Bloody Mary mix. *VERY* good. I used some of my dashing character and disarming baby blues to swindle them out of a bottle for only $15. It was worth $50. But this was a one-off deal. Don't walk in there expecting the same courtesy - unless you too possess unmatched panache & flair *finger guns*.

Seemed like a lot of fun! I couldn't stay long, only for a flight, but if I happeend to be in the neighborhood again on a Wednesday evening, I'd join both! The bartender did a nice job of recommendations on the menu and I felt welcome and comfortable. That's very important to me. This building was formerly the Brothers Drake Meadery, but it looks drastically different on the inside. The parking out front is very limited. I believe there is street parking down the block. I'd definitely stop back in here.

It's a nice spot to pop in for a solidly good beer (if you like their beers...it's not always for everybody), but their bartenders are friendly and the vibes are chill. Sometimes movies playing on the wall which is fun. I wish the space felt a bit less like your buddy's garage, but that really sort of is their vibe. No complaints really! It isn't for everyone and that's ok. I like it and I love a pint of Konkey Dong!
