4th Street Bar and Grill

Super affordable drinkery and eatery in an area that could use a few more establishments. Ever since this place opened it’s been a solid place for cheap drinks and decent food, as well as a nice patio in an area that’s mostly residential. I’ve been here many times prior to Crew games, as they are a backer’s bar and many of the Crew Union’s events are held here. Because of their status as a soccer bar, this place is always a gamble on game days. If the weather is crappy, all of the tailgaters show up here and you’ll barely be able to get in the door. Their happy hour specials are INSANE and include Saturdays, so you can have half off all drinks from 2−7pm!
The food here is alright. Nothing special, but the prices are really affordable for the quantity of food that you get. If you get a sandwich, you get a massive pile of fries with it. Their hummus plate is pretty good. They usually have a great draught beer list with a good variety of styles of beer and different breweries represented. I’ve had Jameson and ginger here for $ 3. Seriously. If you are like me and love a good deal, you would be all over this place.
The ambiance varies depending on the clientele. Prior to soccer games you get a good mix of ages of people in soccer gear pre-​gaming. Some nights it’s all college kids. The staff is usually pretty young but mostly we’ve had good service. The bathrooms here are abysmal. Overall I’m really glad that this place opened in this area, and I know I’ll keep going back for those cheap drinks prior to Crew games!

So I’ve been here a few times but your experience kind of depends on when you come and what you’re looking for. At first I came at night which wasn’t really my crowd, but the crowd honestly changes by the time of day and what day it is. I’ve been going lately for their happy hour specials. Half off apps/​drinks from 3−7PM I believe it is. I got 3 Jack Honeys on the rocks and an order of chicken tenders for $ 14 (after a 2.50 tip). If you’re a fan of hot sauces, the hot sauce here is pretty tasty and not too hot. Definitely will be returning!
Definitely satisfied for the food and on a college budget.
Sometimes for special events, they utilize the back patio and make a huge party of it too which can get pretty rowdy but fun! Your typical sportsbar + more I suppose.

This bar will skip music on the jukebox that people have paid for if it is not in English.

Happy hour prices are great and is why I’ve been here. The specials vary daily.
If you get there early enough it’s not crowded. When I’ve been there the crowd has skewed to people in their 20s and 30s for Happy Hour but gets younger as the night goes on.
The sriarcha hummus has some kick to it and is good for sharing. The ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ burger was cooked perfectly and the bun held up nicely.
I’m looking forward to trying more of the food on a future visit.

One of my personal favorites on campus, although it depends on the day. I love the scene. Kind of a hipster-​college-​dive bar. Not as dirty as actual dives on campus, always has a great selection of beers (for a college bar), and I actually really enjoy their food. Some of the best service you will get from a campus bar (from bartenders, waiters, bus boys, bouncers, etc). If you’re seated, your tables get regularly cleared and waiters are attentive. Friendly environment, especially if you’re a regular. Love hanging out with friends on a slow night. Also love the crowd on Wednesday’s karaōke nights and Tuesday’s half off nights.

Always a great beer selection and with it a great happy hour.
That said, last night reminded me why I seldom eat food here.
I ordered a Santa Fe Chicken salad, it came sans Avocado and with Cheese, if I weren’t in a hurry I would have sent it back, but changing up a menu item is a bit questionable in my opinion. It’s not that hard :(

Pretty cool place to chill and socialize. The staff was nice and clean. The prices for drinks are not expensive. I would not mind going again.

Love this bar and the deals are amazing compared to the prices in California, but the servers are either awesome or insanely rude. I had stepped in mud and had gotten it on my leg and asked one of the servers for a wet towel or something to wipe it off my leg. The server looked at me like I was an idiot. I kept repeating myself but she wouldn’t give me a response and we just kept staring at each other until the guy standing next to her handed me his towel (thanks, dude). Later I find out that the server that wouldn’t respond to me is actually the chick I’m subleasing from! When I moved into the house there was a vomit covered MacBook Pro she had left behind (amongst piles of dirt and bags of trash)… Needless to say I would be uncomfortable with Nora handling my food, or anyone else’s for that matter.
I had a great experience with another bartender earlier that week, I forget her name but she looked like Elaine from Seinfeld (in the best way). Very attentive, friendly, and was down to make any weird drinks my friends and I googled.

Great happy hour! Tuesdays are half priced drinks all night. Friday-​Saturday they have $ 2-​$ 3 drink specials too. There is a big front patio area with tables and picnic tables to sit at. Multiple walk up bar areas. Seating inside can be hard to find, this bar is usually pretty busy but theres a lot of standing room and again room on the front patio. Parking is able on the street, typical campus parking. One of my favorite go-​to places on campus.

Happened to arrive here as their Happy Hour was starting, which was perfect since Spring Commencement (May 10, 2015) at The Ohio State University just finished and we were hungry, hot, & thirsty! ½ off Craft beer & ½ off well drinks – can’t beat that! Their food menu had lots of good sounding food too! We ended up getting appetizers which were very good – Chicken Quesadillas, Mac ‘n Cheese w/​Bacon & Sweet Potato French Fries.

Best place in Columbus for happy hour. 50 different beers on tap. Check Last till 9pm Check. Free parking Check Get bartenders Check Easy exit to highway Check.

I love this place. Great happy hour and very cool bartenders. Food is actually very good as well.

I’ll admit upfront that I’m not big on the bar scene, but i enjoy a night out from time to time. But this place just doesn’t do it for me.
The outdoor seating option is nice because it is spacious. But they seriously need to rethink their picnic tables. I know it’s a bar but they were in *really* bad shape. A friend of mine had to go to the bathroom and pick a splinter out of her hand. 5 minutes later I literally got one through my leggings and into my butt cheek. So that was fun.
When we moved to the interior it just wasn’t doing it for me. Very dark and dingy feeling.
As for the crowd, it was a mixed group, but was a little young feeling for me, even at 25.
Positives are that they have a decent selection of beers on tap, they were reasonably priced, the quesadillas were good, and they had a small private parking area where we were able to get a spot on a Friday night.

Soccercentric bar and home to Crew Union. Come in early and watch EPL with sound on before Crew game. Half price drinks from 3 – 9 tons of Ohio brews including my personal favorite Jackio-​Os on draft. The food is delicious and cheap. Same owner as The Crest so delicious food, but without all the hipsters. Highly recommended. GO CREW!!!

*walks to bar*
Me — «I’ll have a hot toddy.»
Bartender — «we actually don’t have any way to make tea.»
Me — «how about an Irish coffee?»
Bartender — «we can’t make coffee here either :-/​»
Me — «huh. Alright then.»
*leaves bar*
I used to rave about you 4^th street. Never again.

Good beer selection, but the staff can sometimes leave a bit to be desired. It’s the campus area, and sometimes the pretty girls you hire stop making an effort after they put on a tight outfit. The food is decent, but there’s this weird smell wafting up from behind the bar. Bad drain? Dirty bar sinks? Dead body under the floor?
The crowd can be a little irritating. Lots of Frat Boys looking to get wasted. That’s outside of the bar’s control but they might consider cutting people off who can’t see the taps anymore.

Nice beer selection.
After a few rounds I had the club sandwich which was really good.

«4^th street feels like home.»
The above mentioned quote can be attributed to many of my friends. With a friendly staff and some seriously killer prices, time and time again I’ve found this to be true. 4^th Street does things really right. And the best part about it is the crowd is always super chill.
Everybody has already detailed the best parts about their happy hour and their food is super tasty too (so don’t be afraid to try it)! Moral of the story, if you’re looking for an awesome place to hang out with some friends with some ridiculously well-​priced drinks…4^th street is the place for you.

4^th Street Bar and Grill is a campus bar with an awesome selection of draft beers and many drink specials.
I’ve been a few times for drinks, but i’ve never ordered food. The bartenders are friendly and efficient. I’ve never have to wait too long for drinks. Another good reason for going is their half-​off drinks all day on Tuesdays. Even with the special, it never seems too crowded here. Maybe it’s because i’ve been going during the winter though.
The atmosphere is pretty casual and comfortable. College bar means a mostly college crowd, but there are exceptions like myself. Their beer selection is pretty amazing, from wheat beers like Abita’s Purple Haze to Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and everything in between.
They have a nice patio which I imagine is pretty nice during warm days. Only nuisance is parking, but I imagine most of their patrons live within stumbling distance anyways, so it’s probably not a problem for most.
I’ll be back to try their food.

Very clean. Good service. Hands down the best beer list in Columbus. Doesn’t have the same «club» feel as many other bars in college towns, although it can get loud during games. Also, it’s good for all sports fans, not just soccer people. All around my favorite bar around campus.

My Order: BBQ Pizza (godly), crab & artichoke dip (very delicious) & a California sandwich (it was okay)
Pros
+ outdoor patio seating lets you enjoy the summer sun
+ absolutely loved my bbq pizza, just enough spice & sauce
+ you can get a 15% discount if you check in on Unilocal
+ it has a bowling alley too!
Cons
— the washroom is downstairs and was quite a walk from where the patio (MAN)

I hang out here with a buddy because he likes to watch soccer. They have a very good selection of craft beers here and a nice menu to make your selection easier for you. I’ve only been here after work, usually on Monday’s to watch a game. The happy hour prices are great, and the apps are pretty good. Service has always been excellent, my only gripe is the awkward smell of the place, which you don’t notice after being there for awhile.

Firstly, most of the reviews on here are for the «Happy Hour» which sounds pretty awesome, BUT I’m basing this review off of a SATURDAY night visit post-​CREW game.
Secondly, I’ll state the obvious: It is a college/​sports bar.
Lastly, the review:
The FOOD: Average price, selection, and taste
–Appetizers range from $ 2.5 for a soft pretzel up to about $ 7 for Potato Skins.
–Burgers are from $ 7 – 10 depending on size and toppings (jalapeño cheddar burger is on my list to try).
–Didn’t get a chance to try the wings, but they seemed kind of expensive and lower quality than the rest of the food.
The SERVICE: It was a Saturday night.
–Congested with college students and Crew fans with only a few servers. Overall, the server was nice, but forgot about one of our food orders.
–FUN side note: It was sorority bring-​your-​parents-​out night. Let’s just say one of the dad’s broke it down to 50 Cent’s «In Da Club»!
The EXPERIENCE: Fun college bar to watch sports and chill (if you don’t mind a college crowd).
–Booze is pretty inexpensive and they have a good selection.
–Parking blows. Period. Street parking.
–Lots of TVs and random music assortment.
VERDICT: For some decent NOMs, inexpensive prices and some college company, I’d swing by again… most likely after a CREW game.
