    Mac & Cheese buffalo chicken tacos

    Lots of different things to choose from. Unique tacos with Asian fusion and quesadillas. Includes unlimited chips and salsa. Service was good. Lots of TV's to watch the game. Wasn't very busy on a Sunday evening.

    I stumbled on this great place for an unplanned Taco Tuesday after a long travel day. The tacos were all delicious and a great price, plus they have a surprisingly thoughtful and varied alcohol selection!

    Celebrating Brad Calvin's heavenly birthday today with some delish food from a restaurant he worked so hard to make great. I ordered online, and as soon as I got to the bar it was ready! Beautiful new restaurant, fantastic ambiance where almost every table feels outside on a nice night, and just plain yummy. There are more classic options like great fish tacos, as well as fun fusion tacos that mix in a little of this scrumptious food in a tortilla or crunchy shell- can't go wrong!

    Half sports bar, half Taqueria, the new UA branch of Local Cantina serves a fine taco and is going to be spectacular when they can open all their garage doors in fine weather. Lots of TVs if you wanna watch a game. Happy Hour M-F 3-6p. Try hard to get here on a Tuesday when all tacos are discounted! Serve yourself chips and salsa, as much as you like, free! Full bar Including 12 taps of craft beers and cider. The menu offers a long list of tacos and a short list of favorites like nachos, burritos, quesadillas, salads and even a chimichanga. I'm a fan of the soft and hard shell combo, that means a soft flour taco is wrapped around a crispy taco shell, very easy to eat :-) We visited on a quiet weekday for lunch, tried the mushroom quesadillas, fish taco, and a beef brisket taco. Kitchen was super extra fast, the food was delicious. The tacos are roughly street taco size, small but not tiny. A person can easily eat three, $3-5 each. Vegetarian rating: strong four stars, the refried beans are veggie, you can pick purely vegetables for your tacos, highly recommend. Many, many thanks to Daniela who was easily the best server I've met in these d*mned Covid years! I don't understand all the mustache references here maybe someone will explain that to me LOL

    Quirky little place. Apparently you serve your own chips. But the tacos were good. Waitress was very friendly.

It may be nice going to cool bars or breweries but one times you just want to knock a few back. The happy hour is cheap but it's never expensive any time. It gets a good amount of regulars. It's not like the hipster places where the tourists and wannabes come to be seen. This is probably the cheapest bar between Clintonville and Worthington. It's about $10 for a few rounds. When you feel like getting hammered why go and shell out money on craft brew or cocktails when you just want it to get to your stomach. It's easy to get drunk and easy on your wallet. The bathrooms aren't as bad as they may be. It looks like they get cleaned occasionally. The karaoke and trivia nights are classic times. I sometimes just want to hurry to get fucked up so I stumble into Brew-Stirs. It's a don't you judge me kind of place. The worst thing is the throbbing in your head when you rise up.

Smoking section is in the back but sometimes smokers congregate out front so your clothes and hair can catch the smell on the way in.

I found from Kaia that current Ohio State student athletes get discounts from The O on Lane. I will be going back there again soon and will try their tavern style pizzas too.

The apps are 1/2 off Tuesday so we stuck with those (and likely would've been better off if we didn't) which leads me to... The bad- every single appetizer!! we started with the sampler platter, and all three (mac n cheese bites, fried ravioli, and buffalo shrimp) most definitely came out of a freezer bag. And not even high quality frozen apps, the shrimp were the size of salad shrimp. We got the nachos next in hope things would turn around if we moved away from the fried items but I have to say, these were barely better. I would avoid appetizers at all costs at this place. The service was pretty slow too but I know that's standard for a college bar so nothing unexpected there.
