    Great brewery. The beers were all are great, especially the IPAs. Bartender thought they were closed but was error on his part as shorter summer hours were a week later and the craft night was ending. However, he was very apologetic and friendly nonetheless. Ambiance was spacious and bright.

    Great newer brewery! A great choice of beers with a seltzer and a cider mixed in. The inside is very open with numerous tables and chairs. There is a nice sized exterior seating area also. All of the beers I tried were great, especially the Mill House and Tang Wheat! My wife really liked the seltzer and the cider. For food they bring in food trucks. Last night was Jalapeño Latin Flavor truck, absolutely delicious food! There is plenty of parking outside for everyone. The brewery is very artist friendly and were showing three different artists art work last night.

    My husband and I visited Honest Friend tonight on a random "brewery" search and it was the BEST happenstance! Larry and Autumn were behind the bar tonight and both of them treated us like friends and regulars. We loved the vibe, the beer, the conversation, and the service. Great merch too! We will return! Thank you!

    Exactly what the name implies- a very honest and friendly place in deed. 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)

    Brand new brewery in South Columbus. Ample parking. Cute and clean! We came on a Sunday night and it was surprisingly busy -- great for them! They seem to put on a ton of events which bring in crowds (market today!). Both bartenders were so kind. I only caught Autumn's name -- they were lovely! Both made it such a positive experience. 4 bathrooms, a patio, an event room, cozy seating arrangements. What more could you need? I had Fleece Wizard (winter lager) and my husband had Paper Cloud (hazy). Both were good! Thanks for a fantastic first experience.

    An honest friend of mine wanted to grab a drink and I mentioned this new brewery. Have not been on this side of town in a while. It's more developed than I remembered. Plenty of parking, although there is another business opening next door. Nice beer selection and I liked how most of their beers were not super high ABV,especially their porter. Good and friendly service. We were glad we stopped by.

    First time here and I think they are less than 6 months in operation. Nice venue, plenty of seating, good brews. Service was great, friendly staff. I don't believe food is served here, but there was a food truck outside. There was a sip and shop set up on this day, nice surprise! Very pleasant experience!

    We after a long girls day, we decided to stop by Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall for a dinner…read morebefore we said our goodbyes... and what a good choice!!! We decided to just sit at the bar, bartender was so kind and gave us as much time as we needed. We were going back and forth on what we wanted because we were so hungry and couldn't decide....finally we did though!! We got the crab rangoon dip for an app......and yum! I didn't know exactly what to expect, but it was pretty good. The dip goes a loooooong way because it came with so many crispy wonton "chips", but we had to ask for more - she was so happy to get us them!! Funny enough...all 3 of us decided to try the Chicken Schnitzel Caesar.... AND WOW!! one of my top caesar salads I have ever had!! The schnitzel was done perfectly and when paired with the squeezed the lemon, capers, & the actual salad - the perfect bite!!!! The capers really took the dish to the next level in my opinion...its seriously was so good!!! We loved the atmosphere so much we actually stayed longer than expected and decided to get the skillet cookie for dessert which was a brown butter chocolate chip cookie with pretzels and potato chips with salted caramel gelato and caramel drizzle on top!!! - the pretzels kinda through us off a little bit being baked IN the dish, but it was still a pretty decent cookie skillet!!! I wish I lived in CBUS to come get this salad again, but maybe this will be my inspiration for the next salad I try to recreate again!! if you are in the CBUS area, I recommend giving this place a visit - I can only imagine how cute the patio is in the summer/warmer seasons!!!! Salud/Cheers!!!

    The location and atmosphere were great, but unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment…read more I ordered the cornmeal pancakes with deep-fried chicken breasts. The portions were generous, but the pancakes were so tough I could barely cut through them. The two chicken breasts were extremely dark--almost burnt black--and so overcooked they were incredibly crisp and dry. Our waitress was very apologetic and sweet, and she did her best to make things right, even offering us 25% off our next visit. Unfortunately, there won't be a next visit. When a restaurant isn't busy on a Thursday afternoon, there's really no excuse for food taking so long that it ends up burnt and dried out. The waitress was wonderful, but ultimately, the kitchen is responsible for making sure decent, properly prepared food makes it to the table. The manager didn't even come over to our table. We did leave a generous tip.

    Antiques on High was one of our favorite brewery stops during this trip…read more When I first suggested stopping at Antiques on High, my significant other kept saying he didn't want to go antique shopping. Once he realized it was actually a brewery, he was all in! The brewery has a great atmosphere, and the bartender was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Since we've been visiting several breweries during our getaway, they even gave us a Seventh Son passport, which was a nice surprise and a fun way to continue exploring the local brewery scene. I ordered the Wild & Sour flight and really enjoyed it. It was a great way to sample a variety of unique flavors, and each pour showcased the creativity and quality that Antiques on High is known for. Between the excellent beer selection, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely a brewery I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area. Looking forward to stopping back again!

    I've been a couple more times and now I have to agree with Mark D. (I'm not their typical…read moredemographic). I went again for a Book Bar event held upstairs and the bartender was not nice to me. I used my one drink ticket and chose not to see her again. I stopped in recently because I had time to kill in the area. I sat at the bar and another female bartender took my order. We had to duck down to talk under the taps. Since it wasn't a weeknight happy hour, I paid $12 for a glass of a wine. I was going to tip her but she walked away and I didn't see her again before I left. I did see grumpy bartender, but I didn't order again.

    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*.
