    Protein Pancake, sweet potato pancakes, breakfast tacos, power bow

    Stayed in the Moxy during the snowmageddeon for a hockey game. Strolled to this restaurant to evade bundling up and going in the snow. Was met with a smiling staff, hot coffee and amazing sweet potato pancakes. The cinnamon whipped cream was truely the best I've ever tasted. The paleo bowl and breakfast tacos were very filling!

    Salad with beef added.

    Clearly a popular place in Short North, went for a slightly early dinner and ended up with a very decent salad, loaded with nuts alongside the steak I ordered it with. Inside is loud with plenty of tables and bar space, outside is a long and very sunny patio on the street, service is attentive. However minus one star as the hostess seated me in full sun and didn't seem to care, I know I could have asked to be moved - virtually every other table was empty - but instead I opted to finish my salad and go elsewhere for more food.

    Make your own bowl great food and service . Allie was super sweet knew the menu made suggestions

    Came back for the Thai peanut bowl but on the weekends they do a "brunch" menu until 3 pm. So couldn't get the bowl but still enjoyed the brunch! Check out the chicken and cinnamon roll!! The egg which was delicious with little crispy hash browns in it. The wagyu steak and eggs was phenomenal BUT very small amount of steak The Cinnabon latte was delicious. There was a Ohio state game and the place was packed Can't wait to be back

    During my trip to Columbus I was looking for a spot to grab some good food and watch sports. I stumbled upon TownHall and I'm lucky I did because this restaurant is amazing! My friend and I arrived on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm and were seated immediately. It wasn't packed when we came in but it did get busier as the night went on. The ambiance was very nice and lively. There were people hanging out, having a good time, eating, drinking at the bar and watching sports on the TVs. I love the interior and decor as well. There was wood everywhere and it felt very rustic. Our server was super nice, friendly and helpful. It was our first time and she was able to walk us through the menu to help us make our decisions and answered any questions we had. We helped us get started with a few of their cocktails which were great. We ordered their keto chicken wings to start as well. For the main course, we ordered their Wagyu steak with shrimp and sushi. Their steak was mouthwatering and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Each bite was very good. Their sashimi and sushi rolls were very delectable and really fresh in my opinion. We also ordered a fresh pressed juice and smoothie because our minds were blown seeing a dinner spot and somewhat of a sports bar have juices & smoothies for us to order at night. It was very cool. We ended the meal with their butter cake and skillet cookie with ice cream. Both were very decadent and sweet. Their butter cake is a popular dessert amongst their customers and I can see why. It tasted amazing and I'm glad I was able to indulge in it. Overall, my first experience at TownHall was fantastic and I'm glad I found out about it. I'm looking forward to visiting again the next time I'm in Columbus. Every food and drink item we tried was splendid, the customer service was amazing and I just really liked the vibe of the restaurant while I was there.

    Good experience at this TownHall. Cool and relaxed vibe. Servers were friendly and patient with explaining the menu items. Very diverse draft line and selection of beers. Good cocktails. Emory tempura shrimp sushi was pretty good. My wife had the grilled cheese and tomato soup. She loved it especially the way it was cult in slices. I had the burger and shake special. The burger was made perfectly and had great flavor. Fries were delicious and the shake was great. Ample seating with bars, tables, and booths with outdoor options as well. This place definitely fills up so if you just want dinner, don't come too late.

    Lots of biodynamic and organic wines, including this BIOKULT from Austria

    I came in longing to rate this place five stars due to its amazing organic, GMO free, and carefully planned menu which caters to diet restrictions. However, the food was just not great. I tried to steak bites which I ordered medium rare and they came out extremely well done and the rest of the dish was somewhat flavorless with little to no seasoning. My kids had the kids cheeseburgers and fries and did not like them, which is unheard of. They like everything. The wine selection was well thought out and good in their genre. The service was somewhat aggressive and made me feel extremely rushed. We will probably not return. We were there on St Paddy's Day.

    Was in town for a work conference and was staying at the Moxy upstairs. Myself and my coworkers decided to stop here before we headed back to our rooms for a nightcap. It's located directly beneath The Moxy, so it was the perfect spot. It was pretty poppin in here honestly for a Monday night. Inside here is pretty big, and we even came in the next day, too, but just briefly. It definitely seems like a cool spot to hang out at. A bar slash restaurant slash coffee spot slash whatever! It's definitely kind of a chameleon type of spot which is really cool! I ordered an espresso martini to end my night with and it was delish. The server came over and took our order and she did a good job taking care of us for sure. I wish we were in town longer at this spot, because I definitely would have liked to eat here, too.

    Spicy broc and chopped chik salad
    Tim L.

    Odered the spicy broccoli x2, plus a quart of the bone broth(chicken). Everything was just simpmy delicious. Anytime in the area I am always gonna be ttempted tonstop and keep tryn until I tried it all!

    Korean BBQ Flatbread
    Kenny D.

    Loved it loved it loved it! I was staying at the Moxy and, since they don't have a restaurant or room service, I made my way down to this establishment connected to it. I'm so glad I did. They have a lot of healthier options but don't skip on the flavor one bit. I tried the Nashville chicken sandwich and truffle fries and both were delicious and well seasoned. I also tried the sweet potato skins and the keto wings with chimichurri rub on it. The wings coating was a bit grainy but good nonetheless. And lastly I tried Korean bbq flatbread and it was to die for! I only ate a slice in the restaurant and put the rest in my hotel refrigerator. The next morning it was just as good cold as it was hot the night before. I devoured it in record time! Townhall is a true gem and the Moxy are lucky it's a part of the building!

    We were looking for a reasonably priced place for dinner in between COSI and our hotel. We stopped…read morehere and it was phenomenal! I was a bit worried as it looks more like a night club from the outside, but the food was fantastic! We ordered the popcorn chicken, the Shanghai noon burger, mama Chien's dumplings, drunken noodles, a cobra old fashion and a local beer (paper cloud?). The chicken had some unique seasoning and the drunken noodles were phenomenal; the noodles were giant and cooked perfectly and the dish has some unique touches like pea pods that you don't usually find. You order at the bar, but even with that the service was great! A server brought out an herb for us to try that is in many of their dishes. They checked in on us several times and even refilled water, which you get yourself at the back. The customer base was very diverse. I'm guessing the place may turn more club-like later at night, but for dinner it's a perfect family restaurant.

I've been here for drinks and bites - and they have that distinction of being unique AND good. It's eclectic and Asian fusion, so if you don't like Asian flavors - you may not find something on the menu to suit your basic tastes. Plan accordingly - the food is good, the bartenders are awesome, but getting a seat can be all about timing!

    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.
