Barrel & Taps — Restaurant in Columbus

Best bourbon, really good rotating selection of craft beer, delicious signature drinks, great location, fun, friendly, laid-back environment, and truly affordable prices...what's not to like!!

This is the best "neighborhood" bar in Columbus and my favorite Cbus bourbon bar.

They always have an impressive bourbon selection that is hard to beat (im from Kentucky and am almost always disappointed in the bourbon selection at most bars/restaurants...especially the further away from bourbon country i get :p )

As mentioned above, they also have a fantastic craft beer selection (which is important given all the amazing local breweries one could go to in Columbus...rather than feeling like im missing out I feel like i get to try multiple amazing and/or limited release beers from different breweries in one place).

The owner and staff are great, and you can tell they are truly passionate about their bourbon and craft beer given the lengths they must go in order to consistently offer such fantastic selections...

and to top it all off, they have a nice pool table.

It is safe to say that I highly recommend...

Finally got to check out this Bourbon Bar with an Extensive bourbon selection that hosts alot of barrel picks, also a lot of rarer bottles (they had WLW, old Fitz 19, van winkle 12 when I was there). They have $5 craft drafts that help take some of the bite of the price of drinks (prices aren't outrageous). Wednesday definitely seems to be the day to come with pours being half off making this menu affordable. I ended up having 2 barrel picks by B+T the Russel's reserve SiB (was fantastic), and Jack Daniels SiBBp (made me think differently about JD). The bar had a cool vibe (alot of younger people when we were there). I really look forward to coming back soon...

Despite being the single bartender in a packed house on OSU gameday our bartender kept her cool and served everyone as fast as she could with a smile on her face. So thank you very much, I didn't catch your name but I'm sure we will be back. We enjoyed the place so much not only did we start our day there, we ended our day there with a flight of bourbon and some Jefferson's Ocean. As a bourbon drinker I was excited to see some of my personal holy grails on the shelf. Blanton's, Jefferson's Ocean, Eagle Rare. Just need some Stagg and dare I say it...Pappy?! I'll keep my eye on the IG account, if I ever see Pappy you better believe my friends and I...
