Stopped in on a Saturday right when they opened (doors opened at 4pm) and checked out the vibes! The food was delicious service was friendly and nice decor.. I absolutely loved the GOD DID sign but I felt it shouldn’t be in a bar establishment kinda misleading but the sign is nice!! GOD FORGIVE US because we definitely know better! I will return if in the area

I was staying nearby and ended up here for dinner. The place did feel more like a club than a restaurant. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting was ok. The food menu was quite interesting, particularly with the turkey ribs, which I ended up getting. They do cocktails but didn't have a menu. They did ask what I wanted and made it. The Long Island iced tea was strong but nice. The turkey ribs were nice with the BBQ sauce. The fries were fried well. The portions were a bit smaller than expected as a first meal in America. The food was nice and they did have a nice selection of drinks. There were a few people who came by for food, drinks or both over the evening.

Multiple visits here with great service each time. They have a frozen drink that comes in many flavors, its good but has a little bit of a bitter taste to it thats hard to get used to. The chicken wings, burgers, fries, fried okra, and fish are very good. Great place to grab something to eat (and drink). The nightlife here is different each night as the crowd is mixed. Come early for a more classy, relaxed, mature atmosphere and late for more of a club/party vibe. Djs rockin on some evenings and plenty of TVs around too. Reserved areas available which is great for party's etc. I'm not sure of the age restrictions, but I'm noticing a younger crowd moving in, late evenings on the weekends. Give it a try!!!

The crowd was filled with vibrant people dressed well and tastefully seasoned. The vibe was everything I expected. The Dj stayed playing nothing but some of the greatest hits after hits, and the food was absolutely delicious!! #Florida_to_Ohio

This was our first time in Columbus. We were in need of food asap,fresh off the road after sitting in traffic, we checked Google and this was the closest place to our hotel. We had our 3 children with us : 3,9 and 17. At first we thought we were in an adult only bar however the manager reassured us it was before 9pm and we were welcomed to stay. We even got a discount. The frozen drinks were great. The food was good and the MUSIC was a vibe!! We look forward to returning. Our waiter name started with a Z he was very nice, accommodating and punctual. We were in and out within an hour!

Checked out this place Wednesday afternoon during Happy Hour, (4-7). Love love love the artists on the walls, the bubbly waterfalls, the epoxy countertops, and the sparkling bathrooms walls and sinks. I always check out the bathrooms to see if they are up to par, as a way to decipher the cleanliness of the employees. The foods and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. They weren’t very busy so we received our order fast and everything was cooked perfectly. I had a “Strawberry Bob Marley” margarita and a “Good Lyfe” frozen margarita, which is all the frozen margarita mix combined- Tasty af The Bob Marley was tart, but after 3/4 drinks…it was delicious tooo! Chicken wings with Carolina gold sauce, mm, mmm, mmmhmmm and battered seasoned fries. I definitely recommend a visit!
