    Went downtown Columbus last night with friends and we were planning to eat somewhere different but the place we wanted to eat was closed and the workers where walking out and recommended 4th street grill, we didn't even think it would be that great because when you look it up it says bar. BUT it was absolutely fantastic. I loved everything, the food was so delicious, our food came out very quick and was the perfect temperatures. the mixed drinks were perfect and the prices were right. Our server was great, she was attentive and very nice. The atmosphere was very calm but fun! The theme was super cute. They have a photo wall with a photo booth for free, loved it! You also can sit outside in the summer on the patio with lots of outside lights at night. I highly recommend this bar & grill!! 5 STARS!

    4st st is a great campus bar. The bartender Adam T is the best. He makes the best drinks in cbus. Best bartender ever he the man. He is the reason 4th st is a champ.

    4th Street Bar and Grill is one of the better bars in the eastern University area. It has super cheap drink specials and friendly bartenders. The happy hour is one of the best around. It's very popular for game days. The bar food is better than average too. It has one of the best happy hours in the area. It goes from 2 to 7. They even got it on Saturdays. It's not too crowded if there isn't a big sporting event. The drinks are mostly all half off. It has a nice patio for when it's warm enough. This is a great viewing place for watching the bar crawlers and football fans tearing it up. It also has some better than usual food. The hummus is good and the sriracha hummus is my favorite kind. I would recommend it for happy hour as well as a game day hangout. It has some of the best prices. The atmosphere is great especially if you're watching football on Saturdays.

    4th Street has become one of my favorite bars since living off campus. Karaoke Wednesday has been a tradition for me and my friends, but recently it's become a go to weekend bar as well. Bartenders are always easy going and good conversation. As much as I appreciate the bar, I might enjoy the food more. Absolutely elite bar food. I'm very particular about my French fries and they nail it every time. My go-to is the sixteenth burger, but today I mixed it up and got the Cali chicken wrap and it might be a new favorite. The chicken was seasoned well and shredded. The corn and bean salsa mixed very well with the cool avocado and spicy chipotle ranch. I also want to mention the new renovations they've done. It creates a very relaxed atmosphere and is the perfect mix between the classic 4th Street campus bar we've all known and loved and a vibe similar to a bar you'd find in the Short North.

    I hit this bar up for a Crew Event at some friend's recommendations. Free food, cheap beer, and a huge selection of primarily IPAs on tap. So let's be clear - the food? Pretty good. The beer selection? The bottles to go? Great! The bartenders? Most of them were damn good - I was behind a group of people, and the bartender called me out, had my beers and had my tab setup - you know, normally you don't get that kind of great attention from most bartenders. So why one star? Because of the little bitch bar back that decided to start hassling me and my date - "Are you drinking here?" and after more attitude from her and her saying "I work here" we asked her to get us our beer then, and she runs behind the counter. She ruined an otherwise decent night and place, and for that reason, fuck you, little bitchy bar back.

    I went here with a couple of friends and i ordered the mac and cheese bites and a philly cheesesteak and i didn't like the mac and cheese bites at all and the manager Mohammed didn't charge me for it and brought me out a house sampler for free. so i appreciate him so much!!! he was super nice about it as well!

    Chicken Quesadilla

    I am not generally one to complain, but if I could give this place zero stars I would. I ordered from 4th Street Bar and Grill through the Uber Eats app and my food was inedible. It smelled burned and once I bit into my quesadilla and turned it over, I realized that the entire bottom of it was black. They also forgot parts of my order. I will not be returning, and will discourage others from trying this restaurant.

    Build your own raw burger...smh

    Burger undercooked! Meal did not come with listed ingredients (lettuce, tomato, pickle spear). Tried reaching out to the establishment to have order corrected but that went nowhere. No one answered the phone!

    We went to 4th Street Bar due to its proximity to Crew Stadium. We wanted a place that was close that we could grab a beer at and then walk to the stadium. After a quick google search 4th Street Bar seemed to fit the bill. Trust me our expectations were quite low. We made assumption with the location also being close to campus that it would not be a place that we would enjoy ourselves at. The feel is definitely a campus bar. We walked in and were immediately surprised to be greeted by one of the bartenders on hand so quickly. He was quick to get our beer and start our tab. We got a menu and we both decided on the chicken sandwich, one grilled, one fried, both tossed with what they call "Crest Hot". Our food came out hot, and it was the correct order. We took a couple of bites and we were shocked. The food was actually good (for bar food). The compliment is that we would order the same thing again. We should have given this bar more credit from the beginning. What was really incredible is their "Crest Hot". I don't know what it is, but on close examination it has what looks like seasoning in the sauce. It is not just your typical Franks Red Hot. The "Crest Hot" is delicious. And I feel like I need some at home to put on my chicken all the time. To summarize, the bartenders are friendly and on top of it. The food is hot and good. The bar is a campus bar, but its proximity to Crew Stadium is a bonus that can not be overlooked if you are venturing to a game. And the "Crest Hot" is absolutely delectable!!!!! Try 4th Street Bar and Grill out for yourself this summer (by the way they do have a patio, but if you are a non-smoker, you may not enjoy sitting on it).

    Making their delicious burgers even more delicious!

    Because I love this bar....duh. And was informed that the flies were due to the fair - makes perfect sense and now things are peachy!! So come get your half-off til 9 and even enjoy a brunch buffet on Sundays! Brunch and NFL? Count me in!! Oh...and don't order the Ace Cider. It's all mine...alllll miiiiiiine. It allows me to drink a cider....that tastes like wine....but I order on draft in a pint glass. Socially acceptable to order wine at the bar? Yep- this cider makes it look okay. So back off...I call dibs. Go Crew! :)

    Grand opening, the look is a little different...flags up, etc.

    This new bar sitting prominently at the crossroads of North 4th and 16th Ave has a lot of promise. I stopped in on opening night of their soft opening to see what was in store for local residents. The bar itself is quite impressive. The all-wood bar rests on a finished stone wall and is an eye-turner. The establishment looks like a new build so the rehab job was quite successful. There is a lot of open space and booths for patrons to sit at in the adjoining room. There are numerous flat screens adorning the walls, as well as some interesting artwork portraying famous musicians and the like. One of the biggest kickers is the facade and brand new patio. The storefront is a rich black with cool awnings displaying the bar's name. The patio is huuuge considering the location. The tables are limited, but there is plenty of standing room. There are technically two storefronts to the bar, the second of which acts as a carryout, but is also still part of the bar. They carry a plethora of microbrews and due to the unique circumstances of its shared space, these are available for purchase at state minimum prices until 2:30am. Last night the draft beer wasn't quite ready to go as they had just gotten the set up finalized earlier that day, but I was told there will be a sizable draft selection, consisting mostly of microbrews. Due to the absence of beer, I drank white russians last night, and on the bartender's recommendation, I had them made with Pinnacle Whipped Vodka. It's a French Vodka that emulates whipped cream. The stuff was amazing. I'd never seen it before and it's definitely worth a shot. The Samuel Smith bottles, on the other hand, were outrageous at $7 per bottle...for a 12 oz. Steer clear of those until they get that price in check. They are $2.50 retail so the markup is ridiculous. Two more final drawbacks are worth mentioning. One, the lighting was waaaay too intense and bright for a bar. It felt like a pizza joint. They have the ability to dim them more, but opted not to. They need to if they want to be considered a bar and not some sort of eatery (they do have some kind of kitchen, I didn't check it out, but plan to go back). Finally, the digital jukebox is absolutely deplorable. There must have been no one with any sense around when the programmer installed it because most albums only have one selection available on them. Furthermore, it's one fucking dollar per super search song and .50 cents per regular song. Stupidly expensive. The awesome interior and patio might just be enough to keep me going back, but they'll need to get a few of those other elements in check if I'm really going to enjoy myself. Oh, I'm told they also plan to feature a happy hour that lasts the entire day and night on one of their nights, presumably Wednesdays. That happy hour? Half off all drinks. Take that, Bodega.

There was no genuine apology offered when the situation was witnessed. And when we asked to speak with her she approached us with irritation. And let us know she's not sure what else she wants us to do because she already comped her drinks. When I proceeded to ask if she was okay with said behavior from this man, she aggressively responded and continued to show a lack patience or empathy. She was very aware of the matter because her bartender requested for something to be comped, but failed to acknowledge the concern as a business owner directly to her customers. As if we didn't experience something personally violating and traumatic, while she was only a few feet away. And also was seen engaging with said man; prior to allegedly requesting them to leave. I'm deeply disappointed in my experience and I would not recommend any business here.

    I really, really, really love the drink menu of the Alibi. Like, a lot. Their visual chart is a…read moregodsend for cocktail explorers, and all of the drinks came out delicious and exactly as described. It's so creative, and the drinks are really the stellar stand out here. However, the atmosphere of those drinks is what gives me pause when thinking about coming back. The limited table situation, tiny cramped space, and loud music means that it doesn't feel particularly relaxing. People are constantly brushing up against you (even at 5PM), and holding a conversation at a normal distance is nearly impossible. NOTE: This place is covered in dust. No shade to the ownership as it doesn't appear to be anywhere near food prep areas (it's on the decor, on/around shelving, all over the faux plants, etc.), but if you're someone who's sensitive to dust, this is probably not a good fit. PROS: -I loooooooove how they've done their drink menu. As someone who is still exploring the potential of cocktails, their nerdy "chart" that places all of their drinks on a sweet/bitter and alcohol-forward/approachable visual chart is SUCH a help. As such, everything I ordered was absolutely amazing for me. I knew exactly what to expect from a drink because of its position on the chart, and it delivered. -Their drinks are really unique. Aqua faba? Fat washed alcohols? Lollipops or toasted marshmallows as garnishes? Super cool. Don't let some of the weirder descriptions creep you out of trying them. -All of their drinks were delicious. Everything I ordered was exactly as described. I often go places where the taste is barely related to its namesake, but they were entirely on-point here. CONS: -I'm not sure if someone called off that night as other reviewers are in love with the service, but our service was really really slow. No real rapport with the staff; just stating the name of a drink as they rushed past and then they were off to try to clean a table or take someone else's order. The drinks they made were great, but this isn't somewhere we'd go if we were in a hurry. -The pictures do not accurately convey how small this place is. Like, it's small. I'd guess less than 1000 square feet. My apartment is bigger by a lot. This isn't necessarily an issue, but it means people pile up quickly as they wait for seating (there's like 4/5 tables and then bar seating). The human walkways are small enough that the bartenders and other guests will brush against you a lot - even while seated. -I get the vibe they were going for here, but with the smaller space, I think a lot of the potential decor options had to "go" in order to fit more humans. It's giving me hardcore The Hearth Room (in Cincinnati) vibes, and I think it could honestly pull it off if it simply had more space. The "relaxed, sophisticated bourbon bar" doesn't quite come through as well when things are so focused on simply fitting in more bodies. -It's loud AF. Like, really, really loud. Between all the people and the blasting pop music, it required leaning into someone's ear in order to speak at normal volumes. We'd regularly have to pause the conversation if something in the music was building to a drop. This is not a place I'd take someone I wasn't very very comfortable with because it really requires being in someone's space to talk. -There's a single all-gender toilet here for everyone in the establishment. It's basically a revolving door of people in and out of it. The door auto-closes, however, so it's really difficult to figure out if it's open or not. There was usually a queue of people waiting in front of the door.

    I never leave Alibi disappointed. They always have such a creative menu with something for…read moreeveryone. It always amazes me how quickly they crank out such creative drinks. I'm sure some of them are batched, but they don't taste like they are. Service was excellent, as always. Endlessly knowledgeable. Small place, but never feels crowded even when full.
