Fourth Street Taproom & Kitchen — Restaurant in Columbus

so i'm gonna lead with the only "negative" (and it's not even THAT bad): i think our waiter thought we were a little weird for not drinking. partner and i are both sober so we were just going for good eats. that being said, this place seems hip enough that they'll offer more nonalcoholic options, especially with that becoming far more popular lately.

with that out of the way. i've never been here, and with many other saturday night options slammed thanks to UFC, the crew game, and whathaveyou, we decided to swing by with google maps saying it wasn't as busy. and though it was still pretty packed, we got a seat immediately, no problem. i will say that it is a campus bar -- so if you aren't down with college kids and modern hip-hop, you may not like it as much. but i didn't mind the vibe at all, and even with that, it's not the main event.

no, the main event really is the drink selection. i may not partake anymore, but the taplist, the house cocktails, the selection of shots, they've got it all. whether you're looking for a cheap basic or something new and adventurous, they have something for you. what we came for was the food -- and lemme tell ya, they got that too. we both had burgers, but it seems like all of their sandwiches are S tier. there's something about the presentation, the selections made in accoutrements and condiments, that melds so well with the campus bar environment. being here really does make you feel like you're back in your college days.

i probably wouldn't have thought much of this place without coming here myself. but this is not just another campus bar. Fourth Street Taproom doesn't seem like a place willing to settle for average -- and if you don't either, no matter what day of the week, you should give this...

Fourth Street Taproom & Kitchen is a beloved spot that holds a special place in my heart, especially from my days living on E 18th Ave with my roommates. This cozy, welcoming bar quickly became our go-to hangout, thanks to its fantastic food, great drinks, and unbeatable atmosphere. The Bosco sticks are a must-try—cheesy, warm, and perfectly paired with marinara sauce—while the BBQ wings are smoky, tender, and absolutely delicious. Every bite feels like comfort food done right.

What really sets Fourth Street Taproom apart is its amazing outdoor space. The back patio is spacious and inviting, complete with cornhole boards that make for endless fun when the weather is nice. It’s the perfect place to relax with friends, enjoy a cold drink, and soak up the lively vibe.

Over time, it’s become a tradition for us to kick off March Madness here. The energy during the games is electric, with plenty of screens, great drink specials, and a crowd that’s just as passionate about sports as we are. Whether you’re there for the food, the games, or just a good time, Fourth Street Taproom & Kitchen never disappoints. It’s a true...
