olde towne tavern

while our party enjoyed the dollar pretzels and the pork nachos i found the lack ofbeerknowledge upsetting. otherwise the service was good and the food tasty.

the reality is the food is pretty decent (especially late) with a great selection ofbeeron tap. the flip side is the service...there is one particular server who is insufferably abrupt and rude...from smacking plates down on the table...to vanishing...to being abrasive, she has been unpleasant each time. we have started to forego the tavern on the basis of the server to go to yellow brick.

this is of the happiest new-ish places in columbus. kind and wonderful owners, a friendly and talented staff, and a local and diverse clientele make this spot a winner for people watching and just relaxing. i've run into fellow restaurant industry folks, local rockers, and the mayor and his cabinet here. the food is really solid and tasty, it's one of my favorite lunch spots. cocktails are dangerous here,beerselection is always on point, and the patio is one of the best in town. columbus is fortunate to have a business willing to open up in an emerging and challenging retail district; they've done great things for ote and provided a fun, safe place to go before/after visiting their wonderful neighbors to the east and across the street. lunch, dinner, late night, this is a warm, vibrant, and wonderful place for a cocktail, snack, or meal.

a great experience!. wonderful food and an awesomebeerselection. our bartender was great (super-friendly), and i loved the look of the place. i think we found our new hangout!
