The black bean burger I got was pretty good, and the waitresses handled our large conference group really well. Seems like a good local haunt. Decent enough place with live music.

I only go for the food. Garage has the best handmade burger and salads in town! Don’t try the coleslaw because the combination is absolutely wrong and gross in my personal opinion! Service is normally fairly decent depending on the day, the restaurant is clean and in a nice location! I love all of the seating options they have. Overall would definitely recommend. Thank you garage pub and grill

Nice place to grab a bite to eat. We had several appetizers (all were very good), and our party had several different mains from the tenderloin, to a burger, to wraps. Everyone said their food was good. I had the breaded tenderloin. It was very good larger than the bun (an absolute BPT requirement) and well seasoned and flavorful. It was just slightly dry. I sampled the onion rings and sweet potato fries, both of those were excellent. Top it off with a Blue Moon and all is good. Wont hesitate to go back if the group wants to, and Id get the tenderloin again. Server was very friendly, but due to only two servers working and a restaurant full of guests, service was slow. Not a complaint, just an observation, she was hustling.

Nice little pub with a cool crowd in the heart of downtown Columbus. The food is standard pub fare and surprisingly good. The service was fast and friendly. Not a large selection of beer, but enough to have something to like. It turned out to be a Kareoke night for us, which enhanced the vibe. Will go again.

Went with some friends of line for some live music and some beers. Overall, we had a great time. Service was good , especially for being a pretty packed house inside and out . Beer selection is generally mediocre , all your usual distributor domestics, modelo, etc ... Some craft beers ,but nothing to get excited about. There should be something for everyone ,though. The food was middling ..... Boneless wings would have been good but the sauce was excessively salty , to the point all you could taste was salt. Mozza sticks were good ,but they were pretty pricey. $12 bucks is a little steep .Its a pretty cool little spot inside. Lots of seating , not crammed together at tables , actually a nice change from the common sardine can seating arrangements . It was clean and neat , bathrooms were some of the cleaner bar bathrooms I have seen .The live band was awesome last night . It is pretty cool spot to hang out and enjoy some live music. The crowd was on the older side , not sure if thats the general crowd or because of the band they covered a lot of classic rock and 80s hits .Overall we had a really good time . Definitely recommend and Def will be back

Bar with good food and drinks. Live music occasionally. Had an Olympian drink and it was delish 😋. Had the Jalapeno - Mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and the dipping sauce was yummy. Hub and I both had a sandwich and fries and the food was great and the portions were good.

The fish used in the fish & chips were more disrespected in their passing than when my aunt sang Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go at my grandmothers funeral. There was also no music for the first 2 hours we were there. At that point I would have preferred my aunts record 186 missed notes in a row for any semblance of ambiance.

Still always great drinks and service. But really strange to have a child and a baby in a stroller in a bar. Makes me personally rethink going. Not the atmosphere I want to try and rewind and relax. A restaurant is more a place for children not a bar.

Review №15

Pretty disappointing. The service was okay. Burger was decent. Fries werent good. Biggest disappointment was the drinks. $10 and $12 cocktails to get straight up water with some club soda on top.. dont usually write reviews but to pay $25+ for 2 drinks and them be as bad as they were.... every drink around us that came out also looked extremely watered down. Ide save the time and go up the road to 4th street bar.

Review №16

As others have mentioned, there were about 10 kids running around the dance floor and throughout the bar.Also, my wife and I both woke up with food-poisoning like symptoms. I believe it was from the chicken as we both agreed while eating it, that something did not taste right.Hate to leave a bad review, but feel it is warranted.Band was good but unlikely to return in the near future.

We had great food and a great time recently at The Garage Pub and Grill ! It was Singo Bingo night and young ones (son and daughter in law)and old one (me) had so much fun. Firecracker chicken app was Wow! I had a delicious BBQ brisket sandwich. Great wine and drinks. Fabulous server who gave great recommendations. The Bingo was a good time. Great tunes and the crowd was singing! Singo Bingo makes for lots of fun for a Tuesday night!

First time eating at The Garage. Was there on a Saturday evening. It didnt really get busy until after we arrived. Our waitress showed up by saying, sorry, but you are stuck with me. I thought she was being sarcastic, but it was a rough night for her. I asked her what food she recommended, and she immediately said the tenderloin, which Im a big fan of tenderloins. After waiting over an hour for our food, in which she paid very little attention to us. The tenderloin was mediocre at best, a glorified pork fritter. Fries were OK. Had 2 beers, and both seemed like they were just poor in the cooler. Overall, not a good experience at all. Doubt I give it a second chance

2 things happened last night that would of afforded you a fine and or revoking your liquor license.1) a child sat at the bar rail for over a hour. Indiana law says No one under 21 can sit where alcohol is dispensed.2) The new law says kids can go into a bar with a parent or guardian with the sole purpose of consuming food. When the kids were on the dance floor for over a hour violates your establishment. I will state 99% was the parents fault,your pub was their babysitter!

It took a while for our food to come out, but it was good and it was hot when it did. Mickey was fantastic and the noise level was surprisingly low given the fact there was music playing. (You can use an app to select songs to play on the juke box.) Overall a very pleasant dining experience.

Great music but I ordered food water and reminded the staff I had to to pay for a drink at the bar and was ignored for TWO hours. Finally someone told me I could have chips because the kitchen was closed as if that was the equivalent to dinner. They then tried to charge me for the drink I reminded them I ordered.garbage

Review №38

We went to the garage with a large party last night. It was super busy during the block party. Tara, a server was at the block party with her son and saw how busy it was, so she stepped inside and started clearing off tables & running drinks. It’s always a pleasure to see Tara when we go because she’s always so on top of keeping the tables cleaned off, getting drinks and food out as timely as possible and interacting with everyone. She can usually be seen helping other customers that aren’t her own in her spare time.

Had a not so good time. Food was good, but the service was not. For starters it took a while for anyone to walk over and greet us. We ordered our food and it came in a timely manner. Had to get our own silverware though. The lady waiting on us was more interested in eating her own food and talking with other workers. Her and another guy was laughing and having a good time by the food pick up window. He was even vaping back there. So after grabbing our own to-go box. We walked over to get our own check. Would recommend sitting at the bar. The bartender looked like he was doing a great job!

Went in to eat for anniversary. Waitress had to be told to come to the table. Brought our waters and asked if we needed a minute to order. We said yes, and then she never came back. We just left because of it. Will not return as this is the second attempt in a couple years without success here.

Great for a company outing, night out with friends, or date night. Weekends have live music and a wide variety of alcohol. Grilled salmon and grilled tenderloin are excellent choices.

Im only giving it 3 starts because the short dark haired bartender was the only one of the 3 bartenders who waited on us at the bar. The longhaired blonde guy bartender looked our way a few times, but didnt budge to wait on us at all. Thank you for being on the job last night (dark haired girl). Hopefully you didnt have to split tips.

Great place to go for lunch or dinner with coworkers or your significant other. When they have karaoke its always a blast. However, when they have live bands it tends to be a little too loud and you cannot hear the person next to you. They have excellent food and decent prices on drinks. Staff has always been nice and quick with service.

Driving through downtown Columbus.. neon lights out of the corner of my eye I went here completely blind not knowing what I was going to eat or drink for the night. I wanted local and fresh beer. I got more than I could have ever imagined. My food and drink were the best I had on my experience to Indiana. I had the BEST pork tenderloin Ive ever had in my LIFE... Im from Iowa so I know pork tenderloin... but I was taken aghast by this sandwich. For me that doesnt happen often.. ill be telling the whole world about The Garage. With a great selection of food and beer .. I hope to be back someday. Until next time.. 🔥

Decent food with good live music. Had to sit near the band because it was crowded and could barely hear each other speak. Been here a few times and every mixed drink I’ve had was terrible. My friends and I each ordered the same drink and they all tasted different. We couldn’t even finish them. Overall, eat and listen to music, get your drinks elsewhere.

Came in around dinner time with my wife and brother for a quick bite to eat downtown. Plenty of people eating and having agood time and we get seated by a hospitable waiter. My wife ordered the nachos, I order a crispy chicken sandwich, my brother orders the same sandwich. Our food arrived in about 20 minutes and boy was it delicious. The prices arent bad either. Will most definitely see me back in their for good food, drinks and the friendly crowd.

We were visiting this wonderful city however, this experience was less than pleasant. It took forever for our server to great us even after asking if we need to be seated. We ordered chips and salsa right off the bat. Chips and salsa. After waiting 15 minutes for chips and salsa and never seeing our waitress again we left. I overheard other tables that also seemed unhappy. It was a Monday night, there were five tables. No excuses. Dont waste your time.

I cannot say enough about The Garage Pub and Grill. It is a main stay in my hometown and I love it there. I dont drink these days, but Ive worked with them for about 3 years now performing and hosting events and will occasionally just hang out there for company on a day off. Love that place, especially Mike and Dustin! Mike inspired me to keep growing as a musician and entertainer.

My wife and I stopped here for dinner and each had a version from the pub burger menu. Everything was very good. Easily the best burger I have had in Indiana. The service was painfully slow, and the place was not even crowded. Hopefully they can improve the service to be as good as the food.

Nope. Never again. Candace our server was prompt, friendly and very efficient! Burger was ok as was chips/salsa. I ordered pork filet and after one bite tasting odd, cut the whole thing in half. It was completely raw other than outside char. Figured things happen, and Candance easily took it away for a fresh meal. Instead of preparing a fresh piece of pork, they threw the two halves in a pan and sent back out. It was like rubber of course. A kitchen that uncaring that would serve raw pork and then not bother to give you a fresh meal? Nope, it was gross.

The atmosphere was fun. We ordered potato nachos with chicken and buffalo chicken salad. The nachos had some liquid cheese on it that fell to the bottom of the plate of the waffle fries so it felt non existent and made the fries soggy. The salad was good but the chicken had a funky taste. Im not sure if it was smoked or if it was the buffalo sauce.

Until tonight would have rated a 5, originally would have said server was at fault tonight but reviewing how things transpired I believe it was poor training and a poor understanding of customer service. I honestly believe this server was just doing things as normal and was therefore stunned to hear a complaint…she could have saved the situation with a simple apology. Food was even off tonight and the band was so so. Anyway tonight was a one but averaging with previous experience….

Watch your credit card statement. Added an unauthorized tip. Talked to the manager and was told they didnt have my receipt. So I asked, how did a tip get added?

This is a relative rating based on personal preferences. The people at the Garage are great, but I like the micro brew selection at the Columbus Bar more and the food at 4th St. more. Since there are a limited number of options in Columbus, The Garage gets bumped for me. The Garage does do karaoke best though.

From the moment this place opened it has been AWFUL in terms of the service. Went there last night with 6 other people and they changed waitresses on us 3 times! When I asked why the first waitress left, the last waitress told us she had to get home to her kids and then when I went inside to use the restroom I saw her sitting at the bar with her other waitress friends! The service is terrible, the food is over priced and when we left there we had been waiting for almost 1 hour 45 minutes for everything! The first waitress forgot my friends food but because she left the last waitress said since it wasnt her fault and she fixed it she couldnt give a discount!!! I WILL NEVER EAT OR DRINK THERE AGAIN!!! Go to 4th Street just down the block, the servers actually remember that you placed an order there!

Great little bar in downtown Columbus, its the best in the area in my opinion. Helpful staff and they have an absolutely awesome Bison Burger, I get it everytime I go and it has been great every time.

I don’t spend a lot of time at the Garage, mainly because I have small kids and don’t get out much. But after reading the letter to the editor in our local Columbus newspaper written by Steve Leach, I will be frequenting the Garage much more often. The letter was thoughtful and well-written and made several excellent points about the way people working in the service industry are treated in our society. I say bravo to Steve for standing up for his staff and what he knows is right. I’d like him to know that there are more of us who stand with him than against him! Cheers!

The bartenders were very efficient and thorough, we did not wait for anything. They are an amazing team successfully managing the restaurant from mastering the bar and orders.

Had a steak here, which I dont do at a bar...ever. It was pretty good, and cooked like I asked for. Good service, maybe a little high on pricing, but quality is not lacking.

The food was so-so, the beer selection wasnt great, and the service was pretty slow. Nothing about it jumped out and made me want to come back.Go for the trivia on Tuesdays; theres not much of a reason to go otherwise.

The food is good and so is the beer selection. Negatives are the place is concrete and glass so its LOUD. Prices are also higher than average.
