“We stopped in after a movie for a late dinner. Our server was Lauren who was excellent. She answered all of our questions about the menu with a smile! We enjoyed a wonderful Rueben Sandwich and the 3 sausage appetizer (had it for dinner) and a bowl of french onion soup. Everything was delicious and well made. A good portion for the price too! After we finished dinner we moved to the bar where Conner made us german cake martini and a large pilsner served in a boot! He sure knew a lot about the history of the restaurant and the area! e split a piece of the tres lechs that we were told was homemade. We truly can't wait to come back to Columbus to dine here again. Thanks for the wonderful service and the scrumptious food!!“

“Not able to make it to Deutschland? Don't sweat it, Valter's is the stateside equivalent. The tentative staff will make you feel like you were in a restaurant right in the heart of Berlin. Valter himself came to the table and made sure the food and beer were perfect. Great staff, beer and food!“

“What a great experience! In a time that we lazily choose a chain eatery, it’s high time to reflect on what gave us our chains ⛓️Old-school eatery with wood and fixtures older than myself feels like home to me. Add a friendly family and capable staff and some cool trivia and you get a singular experience that was all to common just a couple of decades ago. We had bangers and mash, shepherds pie ?, and ribs. All were outstanding and despite their ample and intimidating proportions nary a take-away box was needed. Hail Columbus, Hail Eire ?? and many thanks!“

“Atmosphere is very laid back. I came here looking for Blackbird Kitchen, thinking it was a restaurant, and was surprised to find that it’s the name of the food sold in the bar. So Blackbird Kitchen is not its own separate restaurant. You order food at the bar and they bring it to your table. Service was quick and the food was good overall. Parking was a bit confusing. Do not park in the parking lot before 6:30pm! You will need to find street parking, which was not hard. Outdoor seating area. They have live bands.Parking: Don’t park in the parking lot before 6:30pm. Free street parking down the side streets.“

The staff seems to love working there.Kind of loud, but what do you expect... It's a sports bar.Using Google Map takes you the long way and gets you lost in the rear of a mall, but don't feak because you're there (only yards away, next to a bubble tea bakery.

The hostess was very helpful. There is some outdoor seating available. The bar itself had about 8 seats. It had a decent amount of local craft brews on tap.“

This is obviously not fine dining but for bar food it was really good. Live music by Wednesday Wine when we came to enjoy the advertised entertainment. Of course, the music was loud as it is a bar.

“South High School held their annual picnic there, after a two year hiatus. It was held outside, as it has been in previous years. There were 3 food trucks, a pay bar, a shelter house, a huge tent farther out in the lawn area & a stage where a DJ played songs from the 60's & 70's. PLENTY of outdoor beautiful space to reunite with former classmates.If you have a large event you want held outside, inquire for prices & accommodations.“

Nevin needs to take over Tuesday late nights... just saying. Young girl had no jeopardy, overcharged me,and we were very sad. Place is still the best though.

“Okay, I honestly love this bar. I went for the first time to visit a friend for his birthday. This is his regular bar and it was honestly like Cheers or something. The bartender knew them all and was just the sweetest guy. (He also was an older straight man, as far as I know, but was totally comfortable flirting back and forth with my male friend all night. It was really just . . . comforting.) They have a patio that's pretty large and open air. Yes, there will be people outside smoking, but it's not enclosed so you may be able to sit further away from people and not be too bothered. The inside seemed to have plenty of seating. Were there pool tables? I can't honestly remember. I was drinking. The drinks! They had a lot of liquor varieties. I don't know what their beer menu looked like, but I was able to have a few rounds of a mid-level reposado tequila (not Cuervo) and buy my friend a drink for about $20. I was floooooored and left a good tip. The bartender also had come out several times to bring us drinks on the patio (!) and empty everyone's ashtrays. He had a good rapport with many of the customers, I could tell. It's a dive bar in the best way--where the drinks are cheap but good, the atmosphere is chill, and everyone will eventually know your name.“

The meatloaf was very rich and tasty! My daughter and I enjoyed the wedge fries and she devoured her cheese burger!!! We tried the Mac and cheese and do not recommend it:( it was very hard and chewy, only the bottom of it was edible but very tasty! The Press Grill has a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere, not too loud to prevent talking but does have music playing. Overall I would definitely recommend the Press Grill and eat here again.“

We ordered one of the gourmet pizzas which came with just about everything on it, and it was absolutely delicious. Has an almost well done cook which we really appreciate. The ingredients were quality and plentiful. The crust is a thin crust crispy and delicious will return again.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by Meister's. I recall reading other Yelp reviews from a few years ago that mentioned rude service. If that's still the case, I didn't experience it or see it with other patrons. I went during an Ohio State men's basketball B1G tournament game, and the sound was on which was appreciated. I also saw that they were a Browns backer bar, so it seems like they have local sports fans covered. Their six draft beers were priced well, but the main event for me was the deep dish pizza. I'm no stranger to this Chicago classic, and I (again) was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The bottom crust was a little thinner than you might find at some places, but to me this was an advantage. My one critique is that the Meat Lovers pizza seemed light on the meat, but there was ample sauce and cheese to satisfy. There were also daily drink specials, a pool table and dart boards, the latter located in a semi-private area with its own TV. I'd go back, and I'd even try their regular crust pizza which looked tasty from afar.“
