    We have been wanting to try yellow springs for a while now! We tried visiting about a month ago but were unable to find parking, so give yourself a little extra time to find a spot if the lot is full. I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich, which was great (not too spicy for people who are sensitive). My fiance ordered the cheeseburger, which he also enjoyed! Food was hot and came out very quickly. You can order everything at the bar or via the QR code on the table. Great spot for larger groups too!

    Very excited they added a taproom and kitchen in Columbus! Love the brewery in Yellow Springs, but nice to have one a bit closer. Great beer, delicious food, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Great place to stop for a beverage . Dog friendly patio . Decent amount of parking . I did not eat here . Nice patio .

    Sweet and Spicy Fries - $12

    Stopped in to meet a friend on a weekday night, and found a completely pleasant, adults in puffer jackets, working professional-vibe. A few toddlers accompanied their parents, and it was a calm but jovial atmosphere. Beers were lovely - Boat Show and their Farmhouse verily satisfied, and the food was nothing special but completely fine. We tried a falafel wrap that was small-ish but very flavorful. It came on a store bought pita, with falafel that were a bit wet inside? Drowned in tzatziki - which I prefer. Sweet and Spicy Fries were not spicy, but had a distinct Asian flair - very impressive looking and tasted good. You will not find any college students here (phew!). When the weather gets warmer I'll be back to meet neighborhood friends on the patio.

    I am so happy this is in Columbus! I have previously visited Yellowsprings Brewery in Yellowsprings and enjoyed it so much. So I'm glad they're open here now and serve their own food! When you walk in, I expected a host stand and to be seated, but it's a first come first seating. However, you order everything (drinks and food) at the counter. That line seemed a little slow to get through from what I saw. However I sat at the bar and was able to order everything directly from my seat. There is a heated outdoor area to help add to the seating. I tried a few beers and enjoyed them all. My friend I was with did try a sour beer which was definitely one of the better sours beers I've had anywhere. The food was great. I ordered the Butternut Grilled Cheese which was so crispy and savory. I would have given it 5 stars but opted for 4 since the service was a little slow and slightly unorganized, which is to be expected however since this place just opened. Next time I come here I hope to give it 5 stars!

    GF Cider that they offer

    I was super excited to try this place when they opened! I have mixed feelings, the drinks were super cheap (1 cider and 2 beers plus tip was $14 during Happy Hour) and the ambiance was so nice inside! The service was great, but the cider and beers were just not very good :( I'd still be open to try them again when it warms up in the spring / summer, but for now it's probably a pass. Did not try any food, but it did look super good!

    Congrats on the grand opening! My co workers and i were able to grab a spot after work and it was packed. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming . Service was very nice and helpful. However I was very disappointed in the food. They have a full kitchen and my poutine was pitiful, it had zero gravy and the egg was too fried it had black around the edges. It was not worth 12$. I think the menu could use some work, but I would go back for their drinks.

    I had a late lunch there on Thursday, December 21, around 3:30pm. I had taken a long hike with my son and just gotten back into town from a state park. We were hungry, wanted a beer and Yellow Springs was new, having replaced "The Crest". It is located at the corner of Indianola and Crestview. I would say it is west of Clintonville, north of OSU and inside Columbus, OH proper - but I am no geographer. The beers are all small batch brews (at least on the menu) and I selected one matching my plebeian tastes (I often drink cheap, watery beers and like 'em). This one, while golden was flavorful, cold and crisp. There was more than one bartender, the bar was crowded, but not the tables in the room. I got a fried and battered fish sandwich and fries, my son a falafel and fries. Atmosphere was lively but not obnoxious. The service was friendly and fast. The location (for us) was perfect - a neighborhood bar! The food: tasty, well-presented. The breading on the fish was crunchy, the fries were crunchy and salty. Without asking, our barkeep brought over malt vinegar. What a friendly and customer-aware gesture! I'm going back.

    Veggie bowl added Chicken $18
    Sara S.

    Service & ambiance are great! Food portions were small for the price. No side comes with your sandwiches... it's $3 more for a small portion. See below. I'd rather have the Neiman ranch burger at Northstar for 18.90 that comes with a side! 0urs was more here with the burger and fries (no sauces) & the quality of meat is lacking and small. The veggie bowl was delicious, but again small, for $12 + $6 for a little chicken. Beers are $8 for a pint. Hopefully they have a happy hour!

    French Dip and Fries
    Ben M.

    Was finally able to try out the new Yellow Springs Brewery location in Clintonville. I've been to their location in Yellow Springs and both have a unique atmosphere that is upbeat and focuses on that beer drinking scene. Plenty of different seating options. We specifically went for dinner so primarily this review will focus on that experience and less on their beers. Overall, the food was just ok. Everything came out relatively quickly, but was all just barely warm. We got the cheese curds which looked good, but lacked much flavor. Again, they weren't gooey in the middle like you'd hope for. Two of us got the French dip and while it had decent flavor, it was $18 just for the sandwich and another $3 for the fries. Their price points along with the lack of some flavor across the fries and cheese curds is primarily why I take two stars off. The food prices in general fall on the higher end and for a taproom, that seems out of character. I hope they would dial up the flavor in the future and add some spices/seasonings. I'd also hope they would reevaluate the pricing across the board. The pretzels and cheese looked good, but couldn't justify $10 for two pretzel sticks and cheese. I wish them the best and I'll give them another shot in the future and will update this.

    Very good drinks and very clean.The staff is nice and beer plus mixed drinks are good. Didn't get food but will visit

    Got a beer here on opening day, and it was excellent! I got the handsome brown and was probably one of the first two or three beers served at this location. Service was speedy. I did not get food. There's an area for merch and to go beer. One wall is painted with the YSB logo. Not much else really as far as ambiance.

    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.

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.

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!

Really in love with its vibes, both indoor dining room with different segments of seatings and outdoor patio tables are amazing. The interior design here is truly unique and artistic. Great for big groups, date night, or even just chilling with friends. Not sure if it's the standard here, but there was never anyone filling our water during the entire dining time after they left 2 bottles of water on the table. Our server is patient and friendly but not on point. They messed up our orders, forgot one order and brought one wrong (we ordered smashed burger but received chicken sandwich). Very surprising that the staff didn't do anything or offer to send in the correct order. The chef of table service for Tomahawk is fun and enjoyable to carry conversations but unfortunately our Tomahawk was overcooked. We loved the presentation for sure though. Their smoked ribs is not "smoked" but boiled and soaked in sauce. The "smoked" part refers to its presentation, but their machine was down, and we were not told, so we basically got the ribs, neither smoked in cooking method nor smoked when it was brought to our table. The donut tree is another one great for eyes and cameras. It comes with little fireworks at the table service. Overall we enjoyed the breeze and atmosphere here. Will come back for relaxation if in town.

I wanted the drink not sweet and the bar must have run out of syrup for me lol. It was perfect without it. More on tart side but that's how I like it. Second drink was a negroni with dry vermouth. Predictable and always a fave for me. I also tasted a barrel aged whiskey just for fun and it's saying a a lot that I could sip it. I normally cannot drink whiskey but this tasted amazing and too easy to drink. Creative and interesting drinks for a good price. They have beer and wine too if you're not into cocktail. And cbd drinks too! They really have it all.
