High Beck Tavern — Restaurant in Columbus

I organized our racquetball Banquet there. High Becks is a small corner tavern with your standard beer and bar food, but they also have a ping pong table and pool table that's great when you have a group of people that want to do more than sit at the bar, drink and talk. They had some great 80's music piped in, but it wasn't so loud you couldn't hear each other. Perfect for socializing! The bar tenders were all nice and checked on us at perfect times to see if we needed refills. They have typical bar food. I did order the potato halves and they were good, but didn't get anything to eat. The crowd was friendly and shared the ping pong table and pool table without monopolizing them. The only draw back I could make, and I'm stretching it here to find anything negative, is the parking in the Brewery district. It took me a while to find a metered parking spot. But it was well worth the extra time spent to find a spot. All of us had a great time! Denise was our bartender most of the night and she did a great job making the rounds and making sure everyone was served. And she was nice to everyone in our group. While I'm mostly easy going I can get a little obnoxious when with the guys and she was able to hold her own with our group. The bartender that replaced her was just as friendly and checked with us often as well. If you're looking for a typical neighborhood bar that's not too loud, not too rowdy, and has ping pong and pool in addition to drinks and bar food then I highly recommend High Beck Tavern. I'll definitely go...

If you haven’t been to High Beck Tavern, you’re missing out on one of the most incredible dining experiences imaginable. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is both decorative and inviting, striking the perfect balance between cozy charm and refined elegance. The service? Absolutely top-notch—professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure you have the best experience possible.

But let’s talk about the real star of the show: Charlie and his masterpiece of a pizza. I can say, without exaggeration, that this is the most divine pizza to ever exist. The flavors, the texture, the perfect balance of crisp and chew—it was an absolute revelation. I truly believe this pizza has ruined me for all other pizza, and I am completely okay with that.

Beyond the life-changing pizza, the menu is packed with incredible food and an amazing list of drinks that perfectly complement every dish. Whether you’re in the mood for a carefully crafted cocktail, a rich glass of wine, or a crisp, refreshing beer, High Neck Tavern delivers.

Without a doubt, I’ll be coming back much more often, and I’ll be telling all of my friends to do the same. If you’re looking for your new favorite...

The High Beck Tavern is a real neighborhood dive bar. It reminds me of the places that were in the OSU campus area before gentrification. As I have said, we enjoy exploring dive bars and visiting the High Beck is always popular. The pizza is delicious, and you can build your own. The BBQ is super, but not out of this world. The BBQ includes both brisket and pulled pork. The BBQ is not cooked with a great deal of seasoning, but there are several sauces for you to try. There are subs, burgers, and chili dogs. We love the BBQ and pizza, which is mostly what we go for. The High Beck is a real dive establishment. Ordering is done at the bar. The prices are low, and the beer is cold. The High Beck is ideal if you are going out with a crew. Everyone will find something to munch on, and no one will mind if you become a little rowdy. Parking is at meters along High Street. So, if you become bored with the Short North, make a trip down High Street with your pals to the High Beck in...
