    Her last name is Spires. So she had to get the hat.

    This used to be an Irish Pub. I think it was Fado's. It was a close-by HUGE pub that I loved. Evidently the area didn't love it, since it didn't survive. Now, part of the old space is a brewery. And I am okay with that. Unfortunately, it's a rainy day, which means I don't get to enjoy the awesome patio - it's huge, with a fire pit, and heaters, with the original iron and stone fence. I've been here a few times now - and the beer is good - and getting better. They have a great spot, they always have good music playing, so I'll keep coming back and supporting them.

    Was in the area and saw that this brewery was close by to where we had dinner. It was a Monday night and cold so there was no one there except us. They have super reasonable priced beer and a great atmosphere. I can't wait for warmer weather because their patio is gorgeous and overlooks Chase's pond. I'm not a beer person, but they have a cocktail list along with non alcoholic drinks. I tried their house made root beer and wow!! So yummy! Matt was our bartender and was knowledgeable about the cocktails and alcohol. He said he has been working on the "Polaris" recipe and let us try some. Loved loved loved! He made our experience so much better. They also have Bob Ross' painting show on so we could easily sit there for a while to watch.

    Don't be fooled by the location in a shopping center near Polaris. Wait until you enter, then you see what they've done with the space, and the patio out back!! We sat on the patio on a chilly night and had a beer recently, but the atmosphere was so appealing with the water right next to it, the lights, and of course the fireplace! The beer was great and I look forward to coming back to tasting more soon. I also love how friendly the staff is. One of the owners was cleaning tables and keeping things looking nice. I can tell they put a lot of thought and work into the details of making this place feel home-y, festive, and welcoming. I can't wait to support this new brewery again. Next time, I'll have time to do a full flight and I'll remember my growler! And hopefully the weather will allow us some more patio days soon!

    Spires Social is a great place to share brews with friends. I've been many times and enjoyed the drinks, food and good service. They also have a variety you can get if you're indecisive!

    We are so lucky to live in an area with a plethora of great breweries to choose from. I found Spires Social Brewing on Yelp. The reviews were stellar and Yelp has never really lead me astray. So my husband and I headed out to Spires Social on an early Sunday afternoon. The space is full of concrete and the ceiling is high, making the space feel open. It was a generic feel like so many other breweries you see. The sound was loud even though there were very few customers in the brewery. I ordered a flight of beers and we settled in to a table. I was hopeful and excited. As I made my way through the flight I just kept saying how thin the beers were. They did not possess the mouthfeel that I am a fan or that I have come accustomed to with all the amazing beers in Columbus. By the time I finished by flight I was disappointed. I truly had higher expectations since Spires Social is rated so highly. I do believe that everyone has different tastes and maybe this brewery is just not for me, but it is for a lot of other people. Head to Spires Social and judge for yourself.

    I like the atmosphere they didn't have live music when we were there. They have their own beer as well as local beer and we tried the did you bring a saw. It had a good flavor it was really flavorful but not in your face. I also tried my first tequila shot! They have foosball and it's free to play and it was very nostalgic. When I first met my husband we played foosball all the time and that's how we got to know each other.

    With so many options of great breweries here in the Columbus area, I just can't justify ever returning here. The beer was fine, the service was fine, the venue was clean and well taken care of, however, the selection was not great and the noise level was out of control. No ambiance at all. There was live music in a very echo-prone space (concrete floors) which made it impossible to talk or hang out with friends. Which is what I generally want to do at a brewery. Also, and I know you're supposed to order beer at a brewery, but I just wasn't in the mood for one, so I asked for a cocktail. Usually when there are spirits clearly displayed behind the bar, I expect to at least see a couple of drinks to choose from. Alas, no drinks other to choose from besides beer. *sigh* I asked what could be made, and just settled for a vodka-cran. Maybe the noise level isn't so bad when the patio is open, but for someone like me (who is pretty easy overstimulated) this is not a vibe.

    Great beer and ambiance, but from the reviews, I thought that it was completely dog friendly. We showed up on a pretty cool evening with our dog, but were informed that dogs are permitted only on the patio. They did let us sit inside near the patio, since it was so cold, and we were already there. Unless it's a nice warm day, it's better to leave your dog at home.

    Spires is yet another good brewery in the central Ohio area. It opened last week, and I was able to stop in briefly today. They have several good brews of their own, and lots of guest beers. There was a seasonal cocktail, Ghoul's Blood, blue with rum and pineapple. Plus, they have a lineup of pop: ginger ale right now, and root beer coming soon. There's a nice big patio, and a decent sized dining, er, drinking room inside. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Prices look reasonable. I tried the Black is Beautiful stout, a limited edition brew. It was very smooth and yet full flavored. I'll be back for the root beer, and other brews.

    Can't believe I'm just hearing about this brewery, especially since there aren't many in this part of town. Spires is small at the moment - they only brew about 5 of their own beers but they have an amazing selection of guest brews. I absolutely loved the Christmas Ale but didn't get a picture because it was being enjoyed :) They're going a great job with distancing and cleaning tables and chairs between guests. There's also multiple bathrooms - something more breweries need honestly. They have some chips and small snacks but if you're looking for a meal you'll need to get it from one of the many food spots surrounding the brewery.

    We were thrilled to stumble upon Spires a few months back. It's an awesome casual bar with indoor/outdoor seating which would be ideal for any season with their heaters and fire pits too! The service was friendly, had great music, table games to play for free and they even had local wines for us non-beer folks. The beer selection was great and we loved the laid back ambiance. Will return!

    The beer and service were okay, nothing special. Tried like four different beers. The fusball was a nice touch.

    Went here for an airport workers reunion. Great place for that because it is under the approach…read morefor Port Columbus. And a great place for that sort of thing, or just hanging out. Plenty of parking. Open and airy inside, lots of wood and windows, and several big patios. No full-menu food: they have pizza sometimes, or food trucks, but of course the main draw is the beer. And I didn't have any, because I was driving and we weren't staying long, and Kid K is not yet licensed. Our group was in a room off to one side, with patio access at one end. Worked well for us (though it was raining and the roof was a little leaky.) A bit separate but right there for the bar, etc. The kid found their game cart, with both adult and all-ages games, mainly card games. Our folks got to hang out without our noise intruding too much into the other areas (which had music blasting anyway.) I got a ginger beer which was good. Service at the bar was great, friendly and patient, and she made suggestions for kid drinks (basically canned pop.) I'd definitely come back, and hopefully try some of their beers.

    Nice German lagers on tap, including some burly barrel-aged ones!…read more Great city skyline views of Columbus! Very dog friendly! Good pizza available on days when they don't have food trucks. (which was the case on Monday when we went) Highly recommended! Only negative is that their tap setup is pretty cumbersome and understaffed. If there are more than 3 people in line, it could take a while to order.

    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.
