A gem of an east side beer a wine bar and store. They on the edge of Bexley and Eastmore. Some times food trucks but Bexley Pizza Plus is just down the street and Donataos is next door and Wings Chinese is across the street. This is a well done and tastefully decorated space with lites of lots of dark wood great mood lighting staff is polite knowable fun. Craft beer on tap and a variety that will not exclude anyone. read more

One of our favorite places! Always a great selection of beers on tap & wine to select from. The staff is so friendly and the patio offers a great outdoor option read more

Super cute little spot with a good selection. You can buy whatever you want on the carry-out side and then drink it on the tavern side (wine, rare beers, you name it), or they'll pour you something fresh from the tap selection. In the summer they invite local food trucks and you can enjoy your drink with a meal on the patio, or just take it all to go. read more

Good selection of wine and craft beers. Don't let the small size fool you... They have a great selection

Mediocre beer selection. The lady who works the cash register is super rude.

New owners now as of 6-8 months ago. Service has been completely overhauled, taproom hours updated to be much more customer friendly, and the beer selection has been upgraded and expanded a lot. It obvious that the new owners really care about the business, and you. Their recommendations and guidance in finding a beer you'll like is great. They take the time to listen to you and truly guide you to things you may like. There is a regular Food Truck schedule and all the ones I have partaken of have been quite good. Thanks for caring about us beer drinkers and giving us hours that are logical. Keep it up! read more

How have I not been in here before?! Wide selection of wines and beer! Plus there is a bar side to sit and drink and a retail side where you can "grab and go" Plus! Yummy food trucks parked there most days! I'm glad we have something like this in Bexley and its so close to home. Headed there right now! read more

I love this place!! Brand new owner's are awesome! Always has fresh seasonal beers on Tap in the TapRoom. Retail on one side, beers on the other...anything you buy on one side you they will serve you on the other side. Good people. read more

I used to be a frequent visitor to this store but the last interaction will be the last time I spend a dollar here. The woman working the store is rude, unhelpful, and quite frankly a sad individual. I went to Giant Eagle and had an experience 100x better. read more

I have given G&G a few tries (mostly because they had a couple of unique selections when I happened to stop in); however, today was the last straw. I walked in and asked for "The Oracle" by Bell's. It wasn't on display, but the lady working the counter checked the computer and determined they had some in stock. She checked in the back and came out with a 6-pack (indicating it was the only one). I told her I would take it. As I attempted to pay for it, she stopped me and said she needed to text the owner of the store. The owner responded that she could only sell me 2 bottles, as they were limiting the sales. When my wife pulled 2 bottles out for her and 2 bottles out for me, the clerk stated "we usually mean 2 bottles per household, but I'm not going to fight you on it." (I didn't realize I was fighting, given the fact I, nor my wife, hadn't spoken a word.) All with a little bit of an attitude, and stating "we like to save some for our regulars." Just an idea....do you think I would become a regular if you won't sell me beer and give me attitude....just sayin'. I told a friend of mine that they had "The Oracle" in stock and he went over to buy the last 2 bottles (per say) and a man was now running the store. He went in the back, pulled out a six-pack and sold him the entire thing. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Talk about a discriminatory act. No consistent processes, and mostly noted....why in the world would you turn away a customer that is willing to purchase your product for sake of potentially selling it to someone else later (I'm standing right here and willing to buy). Questions: 1. Why would you tell me it was the last one, when in fact it was not? 2. Why would you limit a sale of a six-pack to 2 bottles? These are 12 oz bottles...helloooo. 3. Why would you have discriminatory practices among different patrons of your store? 4. Why are you in business if you are not interested in selling your products? 5. Why do you feel a derogatory attitude will solicit a loyal customer relationship? Shame on them. Thankfully for them there are awesome craft beer companies supplying them with good products. If I were them, I would stop distributing through this store. Not only are their hours limited, but their attitude towards business and their customers is shameful. Consider today my last visit. Good luck and hope you learn from your repeated mistakes. read more

I have tried to give this place a fair shot. The beer selection is good, and the young man that works retail is great. He has introduced me to several beers I would not have tried. Now for the reason behind the one star. The owners of this place are very rude. I have walked in here a half hour before closing and before the door even closes, I get "last call". No hello no welcome more or less a "get out". It seems like these people wanted to have a bar in their basement for their friends. Because if they don't know you you are definitely not welcome. On a different occasion I came in and said "it is starting to rain, so whoever has the jeep may want to put the roof up". The owner looked at me and said "it is mine, I am watching it" in an extreme nasty tone. Next I walked over to the retail side and started looking for beer. I had some friends on the way to my house so I wanted to grab four six packs. The woman owner comes running over and asks me what I am doing. I tell her I am buying some beer and she says that the retail side is closed. (The retail side and the taproom are attached with a walkway in between, no door). She then said that she would help me "this time" and refused to let me reach in the cooler. She almost pushed me out of the way and told me not to grab the beer. With so much competition, I don't understand how you can run a business like this. The tap room is open but the retail is closed? Why would you not want to make a sale? Why are you so rude to your customers? I have been here at least four times and have had the exact same experience each time. I am done. Once the Giant Eagle opens I think it will be a short life for this place because there will be another place to buy craft beer in Bexley. It is a shame because I feel like it has so much potential. read more

I'd seen this place a few times driving by and finally got a chance to stop in. I didn't go in the taproom, so my review is only on the retail shop. I should also note that I was shopping for beer only. However, their wine selection looked to be pretty extensive! The beer selection is decent, but not huge. The pricing on their beer was in line with everywhere else. The guy working was friendly and I checked out promptly. It's a good spot to grab some craft beer. I live a little closer to Cornerstone, so that will continue to be my go to. I wouldn't mind stopping in for a drink or two at the taproom sometime in the near future though. read more

Excellent local shop. Nice selection with wide variety of beers and wines you don't see at other similar stores. Knowledgeable staff. Plus the owner does a lot of charity work- quietly. Good store ran by good people. Highly recommend :) read more

Such a great place to get a few drinks with friends. The wine suggestions are so great. Very helpful and friendly owners and staff. The events have been so fun! And we love the Maine Lobster food truck and the great drinks G & G provides awesome combination. read more

(1) Note that the bad reviews date back to the former owners. (2) The focus is on craft beers - Not a place to go for Nasty Light etc. (3) Pricing appears to be at the Ohio law minimum retails so no more than you would pay at Krogers, Walmart or even Wholesale Clubs. (4) Wide selection, but your favorite beer might be out of stock. I think deliveries are Tuesday or Wednesday. (5) I usually park in the Donato's lot - the always empty spaces just east of Grain and Grape accessible from the alley off Gould or from Main Street. Just a few steps to their back door. Easier to get in and out. (6) I am not a wine drinker but the selection looks incredible. (7) I think the Covad19 restrictions have caused them to close at 8 pm. Closed Sundays. Obviously no business on the bar side, but probably can buy draft growlers/howlers to go. 4/11/2020. read more

I truly wish it was possible to give NEGATIVE STARS. Let's forget about the wine for a minute - the atmosphere is horrible! The service is rotten. My husband and I both tried this place separately this past week. The servers seemed bothered by our presence and had an attitude when they finally did serve us. I have been ignoring warnings not to go there - but because it is so close to our home, we both decided on 2 different days to give it a try. My neighbor advised me not to go because it's like a "private club" to a group of locals. It's like walking in to a bar where everyone is in on an inside joke but you. Well, let me be the first to say it, this place is a JOKE! Anyone can serve a nice glass of wine - but obviously not everyone can provide an atmosphere. Go to Haufbrau Haus or Wine Guy (or really any where but here!) if you have want wine, good service and no attitude. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I tried to go there three times but it ended up being closed, even though the hours on the door and online said it would be open, which was frustrating. When I finally did get to go, it was just okay. Average service, average prices... even though I could walk here, I'd rather go somewhere else. read more

This is my favorite place to drink and learn about craft beer. The owners will help you find a good beer in retail or the tap room. Even if you are stopping in by yourself, you will make friends among the regulars. Great people. Great drinks. read more

This is primarily a review for the grain + grape taproom, which I'm giving five stars. I'd give the shop portion of the store 4 stars, with a 4.5 average rounding up to...five stars! The store is a solid alternative to big box stores and has a bigger selection of wine and beer than the other wine shop in town, Terroir. If I were comparing the two shops, I'd say grain + grape is the place to go for craft beer and Terroir is the shop for wine. The staff at the grain + grape shop are friendly and helpful, but don't seem to have the passion for the product that Chris has for wine at Terroir. On the other hand, they have an impressive bottled beer selection for a small shop, and a taproom. Grain + grape, the taproom, is my favorite bar in Bexley. They have put a lot of thought into the beers they carry and while the draft list isn't large, it is well-selected given the number of available taps. I love that they post when they clean their tap lines, an area of sanitation (and sanitation is critical when dealing with beer) that many larger local beer joints seem to fall short on. The taproom has a couple of small bar areas and a few scattered tables. Don't worry if you can't find the restrooms at first. They are tucked behind the bar and to use the women's restroom, it feels like you are going to walk into the beer fridge. read more

Tom and Kim have done a tremendous job of maintaining a true neighborhood establishment. It is not unusual for patrons to gather outside of taproom hours to attend other events. Through their "Keep The Glass" events , they have provided the opportunities to meet with Master Brewers and founders of breweries such as Greg Koch (Stone), Eric Bean (Columbus Brewing), James Watt (BrewDog) and many others. I truly appreciate the friends I have made there and the effort that Tom and Kim have made to bring the neighborhood together! read more

A decent wine shop on the East side of Columbus that's not in grocery store I'll take it! Knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, funky local crafts, yeah I am fan! Oh and the prices are pretty good too, walked out with two bottles of Syrah for under $20! read more

Really good select of central Ohio breweries & wines. They are opening tasting room, which will be pretty cool. Prices are reasonable & the staff is helpful read more

They have a great rotating selection of craft beers that includes a lot of local (Ohio) breweries. By far the best place to get take-out beer in the Bexley area. The staff is always really welcoming. They just opened a small bar next door that I have yet to try, but looks pretty neat. They should consider illuminating their sign outside. Sometimes I drive right by it when I am not paying attention. read more

I'm a hop-head and a zin-ophile and appreciate the convenience of a good selection of craft beers and an unexplainable mix of wines - right here on the East Side. In the tradition of their predecessors, the shopping experience is stilted and uncomfortable, mostly. For luxury retail the love is spread pretty thin. read more

I love this place, they definitely have some harder to find beers here. They know what to keep in stock, and what's good. I've been coming here for about a year and a half now, can't believe it's taken me this long to leave a review. Yes, they do have funny hours, but I think people need to understand that this is a husband-and-wife that are doing this in their retirement (I do not know the owners on a personal level, this is just my best guess after coming here so long). It is their baby, and they don't have to hire anybody that they don't know well enough to trust with their store. They have set store hours that very, very, rarely change. If it bothers people so much that they're going to leave terrible reviews because of it, GO elsewhere. This is my favorite bottle shop in Columbus, and I will always support it! read more

Beer and wine selection is good. The tap room is nice and the taps are rotated regularly

Horrible place. Limited hours and very unwelcoming atmosphere. Staff ( owners) are rude, felt like was imposing on them. Retail side bad selection and again rude workers (owners). Agree with previous post of if you want to have a place to party with your selected friends then build a bar in your basement and let someone that wants to welcome customers take over to business. read more

This place is very fun and comfortable. The owners are very friendly. The beer selection is great. Food trucks are usually interesting.

Great knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff, good prices, great selection of craft beers and wine (nothing you'll find anywhere near by). A hidden gem in Bexley!! read more
