Cute sports bar, good food, great service, also a patio for warm weather! Will be back!

Friendly local watering hole with several TV's to watch the game. Not a big selection of beers on tap but I liked the ones they had. Locals playing lottery machines and it looked like hey had an iTunes jukebox but hey had an episode of Friends playing in the middle of the day. It also,looks like they serve food but will allow you to bring food in from the nearby restaurants. Not a bad spot to stop for drink. read more

U.A. Pub is one of the rougher spots in Upper Arlington. It's not actually in the suburb. That's why. It's located in Columbus on Henderson. The beer selection isn't special, it's there to help you get trashed. I had a Yuengling, which was the bar's most exotic beer. It's about $3 a pint at happy hour. The other beer selections are watery shit such as Bud and Miller. Food selection is nothing special, just bar crap. There's a pizza place in the strip mall which has some better options. It's not a place to make new friends. Like many bars, it's full of regulars pretty weary of outsiders. The bartender and staff are usually friendlier to you. read more

U.A. Pub - Yuengling - Pubs Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

With a name like U.A. Pub you might think it is a little fancy with an Irish or English influence. It is none of these things. You will park by a strip mall Subway, think about grabbing a foot long and ultimately pass, a mediocre sandwich is not what you are here for. Pro tip: avoid walking by the 3 regulars smoking outside the front door and enter through the side door by the tattoo shop. You will quickly realize 80% of the space in this establishment is never used by anyone and find a seat by one of the 7 regulars sprinkled around the bar. It is at this time you will realize nobody who lives in Upper Arlington has ever been to Upper Arlington Pub. This place has a real 'wrong side of the tracks' energy. Thankfully for me, this makes me feel right at home (thanks Dad). The bartenders are friendly, but if you want to get on their bad side, order some food. They have to go to the back room and make that quesadilla themselves between shot orders. I lo...like this bar. 4 stars. read more

I have been coming to this bar for 7 years.... NO, I do not own the bar.... But I love and respect every person, bartender, and support staff that I have met. Service is great, food is delicious and the regulars are awesome.... To name people in a negative review is CHILDISH, so please do not judge a venue on ONE salty newbie who comes in and gets more than he bargained for!!! Strong women are not vile.... #nope u read more

We just moved to this area of Columbus and were doing a tour of bars to find our "new place." UA Pub is 100% absolutely our new place to go!! In the last ten days, we have been here four times, and both bartenders, Ashley and Marcone, are fantastic! One example of the superb customer service: my boyfriend was craving a screwdriver. After pouring the vodka, Ashley remembered she ran out of orange juice earlier that day. However, before my boyfriend could say, "Cranberry is fine," she had gone in to the cooler and got oranges to squeeze him fresh orange juice BY HAND so he could have his screwdriver. During COVID, they have been requiring masks and have all drinks (beers, liquor, and soda). They currently only have fried foods, but they look and smell delicious! Half off appetizers every day from 11-7!! Can't beat it! read more

U.A. Pub - Screwdriver with fresh squeezed orange juice! - Pubs Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Always great food and wonderful bartenders!! The owners are wonderful and very accommodating. We love this place!

U.A Pub is of the type that you can feel the pounding headache and gagging throat of hangover upon entry before you've had one single drink. The place where loud regulars dominate the atmosphere with pugnacious howls and grunts, where staff comes on their days off to lounge about and dominate the attention of coworkers on the clock, and where blondes finding their bad self drop sequential f-bombs for obviously self-conscious effects. In short, a quintessential dive. It was my first trip to the establishment since its move from the Tudor revival offices down the street. My history with it had been mixed; I loved the clientele, usually after work partiers from whatever tech outfit existed across Henderson then, but I hated the staff; they seemed smug and snobby me for some reason. So it had been awhile. Here at their new environs the scripted seems to have flipped. The clientele was as described above, the who-is-who of the typical dive scene, but the staff--one bar tender--seemed welcoming. A larger place, but a little sparse on seating, the UA pub has a couple well maintained pool tables and a clean interior. The lighting though is way too bright and casts too much of an orange glow. This is not a good thing, for one of the charm of bars is the background darkness for beer-sign lights, mirrors, and brass. So I have to mark them for a weak décor. Tap choices are boring, about the same as 1999--domestics and the common imports, though they may have some micro and crafts in bottles or cans. This disappointed me but I really don't visit dives all the time like I use to so I really won't complain. They carry food now, nothing special. I had fried mushrooms which were at expectations, normal bar level warm-ups, and French Fries which were not. Do not get fries here. They were over cooked with a very poor taste. I will complain about my beer order though. My Guinness draft came in a small glass but was priced about average for bars that offer it in the proper pint size serving. I mean this is just a step above offering it in a plastic cup. No, no it is a Irish sin to serve the holy drought in less then proper glassware--and on St patty's weekend too! Not to mention the rip-off of serving half a Guinness and charging full price. Not cool. ( I guess another script is flipped, I am the snobby one now!) Overall, it is a place to come if you are bored and want to hang with friends and enjoy libations, because it is close and simple and has billiards. But it is no where near tops in the neighborhood. read more

The Pub is the best bar in this area by far! The food is great and cheap. They have happy hour every day from 11-7, you cannot beat it! They also have specials every day of the week Wednesday night trivia is the highlight of my week read more

Born and raised in Columbus but recently moved to NC. Back in town for a wedding on OSU/UM game day and needed a place to watch the game before ceremony. Treated like family by the staff and Gary specifically. Will absolutely be back to UA pub in the future. read more

It's a long story why we ended up here, but here we were making the best of some bad bar choices. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. It's really a typical sports bar. Lots of TVs, bad lighting. We wanted some late night bar food and ordered an assortment, but everything tastes like grease. This means they needed to replace their frying oil. read more

This bar is great until the tattoo parlor next door closes. Then the co-owner or son of owner thinks his fat ass owns U A Pub. These two establishments existed side by side for years but the tattoo parlor now thinks they own u a pub. Bring back the neighborhood pub feel and bring back the regulars that don't want bullied by a loud, belligerent tattoo shop co-owner read more

Alcoholics-Anonymous should set up a booth inside this place because there'd be plenty of qualified recruits to sign-up. I came here on a Friday with some friends feeling a bit buzzed myself. Maybe it was just the particular night I happened to show up but other people here were even more lit than me. Two guys actually ended up fighting outside. Like an actual MMA type of fight where one of the dude's friend's ended up refereeing the match. Also beer selection is slightly above average. What a night... read more

Typical sports bar type of place. Bartenders were on point. Tap selection is so-so.

I was in UA Pub last Friday for happy hour with my girlfriend. They ask for a credit/debit card from you whenever you'd like to keep an open tab, which is fine, every bar should do so. When my girlfriend cashed out, she paid $26 cash ($20 bill + $6 tip). Later, she noticed the bartender charged her card $24 ($20 bill + $4 tip). She went in to ask about this and was told she "abandoned her tab", even though she paid cash. UA pub stole from her and tried to say she walked out on her tab! She even left the bartender a 30% tip!! I am never going to this bar again. I suggest no one else does either, unless you'd like to be stolen from. =D read more

Great hangout! GREAT STAFF. VERY good prices on drinks and always a fun croud. It has become one of my favorites.

This bar is better than front row. Plenty of seating options, good service, and you can drink here. Gets crowded after 11:30, but it can handle it. read more

End of the night kind of stop. Went to watch a game when we could not catch a seat at Avg. Joes.. Not bad if want a low key beer, however the service is great. Jalapeño caps ran right through me read more

This is a very decent, well located, safe, clean neighborhood pub with super-nice people running the place and working there. It's a Northwest Columbus sports bar atmosphere, NOT fine dining by any stretch; it's okay bar food. Pizza, great wings, subs, etc., Period. Plenty of parking, a great patio out in front, an outside, heated (in winter) smoking area. Great place to catch a game and eat and drink at reasonable prices. As with any neighborhood place, it has it's neighborhood "regulars" and characters, but no one who's offensive or on a "wanted" list. I've taken friends there who've never been there and none of them had a negative thing to say, in fact, they've been back there several times. read more

Oh UA pub, good prices, nice patio but extremely rough around the edges. I like to have a drink or two here occasionally but tonight might be the end of that. Too many unstable people frequent this place, either it's aliens and satellites causing cancer or the woman this evening aggressively breaking into my group to tell me about her four failed, sometimes quite depressingly, engagments and her weapons she carries in her purse this place is a dive that is not good enough to sustain my business. Everyone who works here also knows the unstable people so they are obviously regulars...... Go somewhere else, even, gulpe, Average Joe's. Yikes! read more

Went here for the first time last night. Had a good time but there was one thing I noticed the tvs were not in HD. I was there to watch the OSU vs Michigan basketball game and had trouble watching. The Service was excellent and food was ok for a bar. I will be back but not to watch a big sporting event. read more

Good hangout spot - It's a hole in the wall with a few coats of paint and feels like College all over again. Great prices, great staff. Some of the regulars can be a bit much and ended leaving after one of the regulars wouldn't leave us alone. read more

UA Pub is fantastic! I have nothing but good things to say about the owners and all of the bartenders!!
