rusty bucket restaurant and tavern

i love the rusty bucket for great drinks, good craft brews & consistent pub food. i have a neighborhood location & enjoy the other original columbus spots. unfortunately, i've been to this location at least 15 times (for work & grew up in the area) & you shouldn't judge the chain on this location. i often order the blood orange habanero margarita & every time i have here, it becomes a big production. the same female bartender made it tonight, she seamed put off as usual, it took forever & she under poured trying to fill the glass with ice, again. last time she did, the time before the other bartender had to look it up, it's a menu item. i'm not cheap, happy to pay the $8, but it should be full. service is also consistent with an attitude. the dining room and bat were less than 1/2 capacity at 7:30. don't judge rb on this location. i love the margaritas so much i've actually learned to infuse the tequila at home and fresh squeeze. give the other locations a chance, not this one, roosters & multiple other options are near. only positive,foodis about the same as other locations.

if you can stand the mall traffic. been to the rusty bucket a few times, and each visit goes so well that i wonder why i don't stop in more often. they have good service, and thefoodis enjoyable. i definitely like the friendly atmosphere, and the food/drink selection is quite nice. i really hate navigating in and around the dayton mall, so i think that's what keeps me from coming in more frequently.

food was ok . rubin needed more thousand island on it .was 7in our party .was in a room by our selves that was nice .other saidfoodwas just ok . not what we expected . service was great

the rusty bucket is a irish pub style restaurant. but don’t let that turn you off…its a good irish pub. it wasn’t too noisy, thefoodwas good and the service was good even though we had a large group. i was nervous about coming here since i’m not too big on fish and chips

good food. i have been to rusty bucket a handful of times and they have always had good service, a nice environment, and nice sized portions of tastyfood. but good god do not get the key lime martini.. thick stew like mess.. thats my only complaint .

nice lil bar. went for the drinks and was impressed, had a nice selection on tap and it was a very cozy bar to hangout and drink at. didn't get thefoodbut looked over the menu and would go back to give it a try. nice place to grab a drink!

i was a bit let down...but thefoodwas ok. it was the same as every other americanfoodhangout spot (i.e. applebee's). they do offer the interesting fried pickles appetizer...but after i tried them i wished i had ordered something else.
