Canabar — Restaurant in Columbus

My uncle was playing tonight, and so a lot of our family came to support him. My cousins and I were in our seats enjoying the music, not being obnoxious or anything, when suddenly the owner comes over. She asked us, "Do you guys play tonight?" and we told her no. She asked if we were playing with my uncle's band and we told her "no", then I explained to her that our uncle was in the band. She then asked if we were going to buy a drink, and we told her no. She then got huffy and said that there were a lot of other customers that bought drinks that do not have a seat, telling us that we are wasting space if we are not going to purchase a drink. She tried to bully us for about 5 minutes into buying alcohol and patronized my older cousin demanding to see her ID and was seriously in her personal space even after she explained over and over that we were just here to support our uncle. Once my aunt got involved, she just made a remark and left.

To start off, it was crowded anyway, so even if we gave up our seats, there still would have been people who still wouldn't have anywhere to sit. Secondly, it was very unprofessional to bully us into buying drinks. It wasn't like there was a sign posted that it was mandatory to buy one. People come to bars and only come for the music all the time! I think it was highly disrespectful to our preferances. For all she knew, we could have a low tolerance of alcohol, been at our limit, or even have religious beliefs that forbid alcohol. I feel that she picked on us because we were younger (even though we are both over 21), which is still no excuse for her to talk to us like that. Overall, it was very unprofessional and...

I am visiting family in Columbus Ohio. I went out to shoot pool Friday night ...

I found a hidden gem of a place, "The Canabar"!

One pool table with a lot of high level of players who were very funny 😂🤣and welcoming!🤗

Starting from security at the door ... ✨Straight house cues ✨Good selection of drinks ✨Friendly, attentive staff😁 ✨Outdoor seating ✨Patrons were friendly ✨Live Band was great 👏 ✨DJ after the band finished ✨Outside Food allowed

Food truck - "Walkers Ribs & Things" was outside.😋

I asked, "What's good?" I was told by 3 people, "Everything's good" & it is was true! (Ribs, Rib tips, Cauliflower, Fish, Chicken, Mushrooms, Ribs, Pork chops & more)

Four different people said, Hey, you should come back on Sundays!"🥳

I will...

This bar isn't a bad place at all and definitely is suited for seasoned people. However I don't think some of the staff accept the younger generation. I am 32yrs old yet look as if I'm in my early 20s. I own two successful businesses and just wanted a drink after a long good at work. I waited 20 minutes before someone even acknowledged me after I flagged the bar tender down multiple times. I literally watched the bar tender circle around the bar attending to everyone else while pretending as if she didn't see me. I understand bar tending can be unpleasant at times yet this wasn't a busy night at all. Personally, I am saying if people under 40yrs old isn't welcome then may the bar owner of the bar please place a age limit on...
