A perfectly acceptable sports bar. Happy hour: 3-8 pm with $1 PBRs (I stopped looking for deals after I saw $1 PBRs), 33 cent wings, and half off apps. Wasn't expecting my kamikaze shots to be $7 each though...
Our server, Rachel, rocked pink hair and won first place in the prompt service category. Go Bucks!
Went here for a Columbus Crew watch party, and went ahead and got the Yelp! Deal because I knew I was going. Â
The only negative of the whole night was that there were a couple private parties going on so seating could have been an issue, luckily for us some nice gentlemen at the bar were getting ready to leave so offered us their seats. Â
Once seated the bartender greeted us with their specials (they had a Crew special for a bucket of 5 beers and 2 take home Columbus Crew mugs for $15 which was great)
We ordered our food which came out much faster than I expected with the crowd. Â We had the buffalo chicken dip, garlic parmesian cheese fries, and the white flatbread. Â All were EXCELLENT! Â The buffalo chicken dip not only came with tortilla chips, like most restaurants, but in addition had veggies and pita bread also!
Our bartender was great, never had an empty glass, and super friendly.
I will definately be back (still dreaming of the buffalo dip)!
BBR is one of my favorite places to watch sports. Â Their drink prices can be a bit high sometimes when I go in and other times they have specials going that workout well. Â I guess this can be expected any where, but the food is well above (in quality) what you would expect at a sports bar. Â Great apps and burgers. Â
The place is nicely decorated in a very slick way. Â A lot of good looking servers/bartenders with plenty of ink if thats your thing. Â I recommend it for you next sporting event.
I had a groupon for this place that I bought on the merit of my fellow yelpers. This is not the type of place I would normally go. Namely because it's in the Park Street area. Avoid Park Street like the plague, people! But there were lots of 4 star reviews from people who I consider decent yelpers, so I figured I'd give it a try. I would be getting $30 worth of stuff for $15 after all.
Last night when some coworkers said they were at BBR and to come on over, I thought, yes, I can use this groupon! The cheese dip appetizer was pretty darn good, I'll admit, but, let me tell you, my entree sucked. Real bad. I got this maple salmon plank on the recommendation of the server, who to her credit was helping me stick within my pescetarian dietary restrictions, but what came out I am 90% sure was prepared in a microwave. The rice, the veggies, and even the filet all had the texture one would expect from having been nuked. I was extremely hungry so I ate every last bite, but it was so not good.
The waitresses were pleasant and the TVs were many and large, making for good sports viewing, plus the happy hour specials were totally decent ($2 domestics, $3 imports), but I will not be returning. Also so not my crowd. It was a meathead sausagefest in there.
Went to BBR this week since we had a groupon that was going to expire soon. I've been here for the night scene and was told that their food is good, so when the groupon came out I figured it was fate.
After a long work week, a Thursday night date night at a place that I know has a great alcohol list seemed like a good idea. We arrived at 7pm and walked into a semi-rage party. Guys in affliction Tshirts and girls in neon hello kitty and everyone taking shots like there was no tomorrow. I kept thinking, guess Thursday nights are college party nights, then realized the Arnold Classic and Tiesto invaded Columbus at the same time, hence the fabulous people watching. Dinner and a show? Unexpected but ill take what I can get.
We started with the queso which came with tortilla chips and veggies. Uncooked broccoli and cauliflower in cheese sauce? Not my thing, but it did make me feel healthier when the chips ran out.
I got the buffalo chicken wrap and for someone who isn't a huge buffalo sauce fan, it was perfect. Not too hot and tasted great. I got the steamed veggies (two veggies in one sitting - at a bar?) and they were awesome. My guy had a burger and fries and was very pleased.
Due to happy hour our drinks were ricidulously cheap and the app was 1/2 off, so after the groupon it was a whopping $5 meal. Our server was great and made sure to check in just enough, even with the half dressed shot takers pulling her in all directions.
It wasn't the dinner I was expecting, but overall we left satisfied and feeling a lot older. May try dinner again on a more calm night.
The man and I made a stop here before seeing the terrible Blue Jackets play. We sat at the bar and the service from beginning to end was top notch. We were never ignored, drinks refilled promptly and food brought quickly. And they were pretty busy with OSU game fans and us delusional Jacket fans filing in.
TONS of TVs above the bar so would be hard pressed not to find something to distract you. Any time I get to see the New Zealand National Rugby team take their shirts off and do that crazy stamping around dance is Aces for me.
We ordered burgers as they are half off on Sundays, which is a pretty good deal! Nice burger with good fries. Nothing to complain about. I could see how this place could fill up with posers and douche bags but our Sunday Funday was a great experience.
Recently I went to BBR with a group of 9 or 10 for a Friday happy hour. Perhaps half full, we didn't have much trouble finding a place to gather... Now this is your classic good news / bad news scenario.. On the one hand it wasn't that busy, but on the other hand it wasn't that busy... So in that respect, if you're looking for a quiet pint or a place to meet a friend for the game, then there you go. If you're into the crowded / loud / stuff going on / etc. scene then BBR (at least earlier in the night) likely isn't the go-to.
Empty barstools aside, the happy hour is solid. $3 Guinness, half price appetizers, bingo bango bongo.
Happy hour apps, a 4, half price crab cakes, yum! Â Not as good as Maryland, but good for Cbus and the cost. All the food I have had is good for bar food.Drinks a 3, it varies by bartender. I have not went for night life, only lunch and happy hour. The staff consists mostly of pretty girls.
Review Source:This place is pretty solid. You get what you come for and that works for me!
If you cone at midnight on a Friday or Saturday, you are going to get exactly what you expect. Scantily clad ladies and their frat men dancing to the latest Rihanna beats. Lots of vodka crans and bud lights for everyone! But sometimes, don't you just want to break down?
If you come here at an earlier time, this place will deliver. Pretty decent food (I love the buffalo dip) and seats all around the house where you can see every football game your heart desires. The staff is really great, which probably takes this place from an OK bar to a great experience. Servers are constantly walking around with smiles on their faces and taking any unused dishes off all tables. The bartenders are happy to put on a different game on a different TV if you would like. Plus, Sunday Funday (my favorite day?) comes with some great deals - one of the better $3 Bloody Marys I've had!
I'm not going to take the time for a full review. Â I read through some below, and you can too.
I went on a Thursday for lunch and the place was not busy at all. Â The food was good and the service was excellent. Â This is the bar I have been looking for. Â Finally a group of bartenders that professionally and friendlily engage the patrons.
Thank you.
BBR: as if Hell had a game day sleepover with hundreds of people who seemingly all know one another (and his/her hook-up history to boot), where everyone was F*ing one another and getting all pissy in public about it after the fact... well, this is my own personal Hell. And it's in Columbus. I'm actually proud of myself that I didn't give anyone my elbows. I'll be honest: it was only because I had a wrist injury, and wasn't willing to risk it.
I keep holding out hope that my friends stop going to these douchebag bars, but I guess if you're single and looking to hook up, then this is your spot. And it annoyed the ever-living crap out of me.
I hate crowded bars. I hate douchebags more. I despise women who chase them around like it's your last desperate attempt on earth more than anything (yes, even more than the douches themselves). This, compounded by fake chicks who will rudely flip their hair in your direction while you stand at the bar endlessly waiting for a bartender to pay you attention (if your boobs aren't out, don't bother -- YES, I SAID THAT. I WAS REPEATEDLY IGNORED AND OVERLOOKED WHILE BOOB-AFTER-BOOB WAS SERVED BEFORE ME.) Here, you get all this nonsense under one roof. I also wonder how different this place is when it's NOT a game day. But I don't particularly have the patience or will to find out. Definitely not my scene. Yours for the taking, Columbus.
And I'm pretty sure it's illegal to let that many people swarm under one roof... Ugh.
This place has a real nice staff. Â I haven't seen a bar run so smoothly in a while. Â Everyone seemed to take pride in the place. Â The appearance of the bar seemed very important to the waiters and managers as i saw numerous attempts to pickup trash off the floor. Â I don't think i have seen any bar that does that throughout Columbus particularly on a Saturday night. Â
The food was very good as well, the wings are GIGANTIC! Â Definitely a place to try if you haven't already.
I went for the first time on a Saturday night and while the food I ordered was good (I ordered the macaroni and cheese), it has ended up being too much of a hassle.
I was double charged (after I closed my tab and was long gone) and have been jumping through all kinds of hoops to get my own money back.
This is an incredible hassle for something that wasn't even my mistake and the level of incompetence here is beyond astounding as no manager who actually works there seems to be "authorized" to refund me and no one will call you back like they say they will.
Bottom line: try the mac and cheese but bring cash unless you think it's worth an extra $60.
I went to BBR Saturday night to find a place to watch the OSU vs. Michigan basketball game. Â I got there about 45 minutes before tipoff (9PM) and could not find a seat. Â An employee helped pull up chairs for a friend and I at the bar. Â This does not happen often!
The decor appeared to professionally decorated. Â Strategically-placed flat screen TV's are on the walls and above the bar, providing a great space to watch a game. The game volume came on at tipoff and the semi-loud music subsided until halftime. Mirrors and black and white prints of local sports logos and 80's rock stars fill up the exposed brick walls. Â
Food and drinks are a high-focus for this bar. Dozens of micobrew handles and bottled beers are available. Â A $3 special for Labatt Blue and Miller Lite was on Saturday, with regular priced microwbrews in the $6-$7 range for 16oz-20oz drafts. Â The menu is relatively high end, perhaps approaching a "gastropub" feel. Â Not really too hungry, I ordered a cheese and vege plate. Â A Bento box shortly arrived with a huge portion of swiss, pepperjack, boursin, and smoked gouda cheese. Â Vege's included tomato wedges, broccoli, red peppers, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, and squash. Â Warm pita was also included in the low $8 price. Â The silverware has high quality and even polished! Â Definitely a surprise for a sports bar!
The bathroom also was above-average. Â TV's with volume on the high ceilings, the usual Michigan decals in the urinal, and a bathroom attendant. Â The real bonus was the mini field goal with oscillating football crossing the uprights in some urinals. Â
As the night progressed and the game came to an end, the bar continued to get more crowded. Â The clientele became better-dressed as the the time elapsed, attracting mostly a 20-30ish crowd. Â The guy sitting two down from me didn't seem too surprised at his $342 bar tab. Â It wasn't a win for the Buckeyes, but definitiely one for BBR Columbus!
Well our first thought was to go in for lunch on Saturday, checked hours on their website (open at 11:00), and walked over from our house (about a mile). Â Apparently the hours have changed and website not updated. Â Got some lunch at nearby North Market and did some errands. Â Came back for an early dinner.
Nice basic sports bar. Â Lots of screens arranged well and a consistent theme of classic rock. Â Ordered burgers and the beer special ($3). Â Both burgers and fries were nicely done. Â Lots of other, fancier options we may try next time. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Note <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> typically has some great deals for this place, like $3 with the code for $25. Â Staff were familiar with the deal and handled it without a hitch.
We snagged one of the fabulous Yelp Deals for this place and figured we'd check it out before we went to witness yet another Blue Jackets loss. So if you're curious about the nightlife here, you probably want to read another review.
I'll get the not so great out of the way first.
We never ended up using the Yelp deal on the first visit because half of our meal ended up being comped and it wouldn't have been worth it too burn it off on what was left of our bill.
Part I: Opportunity
On our first trip to Burgers, Beer & Rock we came in at about 5pm on a weeknight to a mostly empty house. I will say that the place has a nice modern rockstar decor to it, but the first thing you actually noticed was that the music was approaching bleeding ears levels and that is coming from someone who listens to his iPod at full blast most of the time.
After being sat we were greeted by our server who appeared to not be having a good day. Everyone else in the place was all smiles and friendly, she on the other hand was pretty much sulking. No biggie, we all have bad days, and she wasn't actually rude to us at all.
Ordering was a challenge due to the excessively loud music. My wife (who used to be a server) remarked at how amazing it was that she could hear anything to take people's orders. Well...turns out she couldn't. When she brought our food out to us she had my wife's food right, but my order mixed up (she did bring the right side, more on that in a bit). She was apologetic and said they'd have my order out to me promptly, which they did.
The food the first time was a mixed bag. We started with the calamari, which is one of my favorite appetizers, and I made the mistake of just seeing the dish and ordering without reading the description. This was a bad move. They ruin it by pre-tossing it in the same sweet chile sauce that everyone and their brother uses. I have nothing against the sauce (it's tasty!), but it should be on the side so the calamari stays light and crisp. The next uh-oh is also kind of a "shame on me situation" for coming to a place that's name stands for Burgers Beer & Rock and not ordering a Burger. In my quest to eat healthier I went for the Shrimp Kabobs with green beans, while my much wiser wife ordered a burger. Her burger was large, tasty and most importantly cooked the way she had asked. Major points for it being done right because nothing riles me more than places that will ask you for a temperature on your burger and just cook it however they want anyway. Aside from the fact that I was brought the wrong item to start, my food was ok. The shrimp kabobs were excellent, but the green beans were overcooked and soaked in an overly vinegary vinaigrette and nearly inedible.
Part II: Redemption
We came back on another game night some weeks later during the Holidays. This time there was a decent crowd going and right off the bat when we walked in you could tell that the music was turned down a tad. Still nice and loud, but reasonably so.
This time we sat at the bar, service was friendly and checked on us often even when it started to get busier closer to game time.
As for food, both of us went for burgers this time and we were not disappointed. I opted to indulge and got the garlic parmesan fries, which are paradise soaked in grease and garlic. We had a little hiccup using our Yelp Deal, as they didn't want to honor it via my phone, but with a little prodding they accepted it.
Bottom Line: Not an out of this world place that I'm dying to go back to, but if burgers are what we crave for our pre CBJ game meal it's where I'm going to go and I'm going to work out extra hard at the Gym that day to justify the delicious garlic parmesan fries.
I met up with some friends for the OSU bowl game and was pretty sure I'd end up hating the place, based on the concept alone. I didn't hate it, but I don't see myself there for any other reason that it's a central location and close enough to Harrison West.
I was super suspicious of the food, but I ordered the BBQ Bacon Sliders w/ seasoned fries. The sliders were surprisingly good, the lettuce and bun could have been a tad bit fresher, but when you're ordering food at a bar, you can't expect artisan bread and local beef. I did enjoy the food, though. The fries were cooked perfectly, not too greasy and well seasoned. I guess if you have BURGERS in the name of your shop, you better execute that aspect well and I guess they did in my experience. The meat was cooked just as I asked and the white cheddar, grilled onions and BBQ sauce were a nice combo.
I only drank a few Heineken Lights, so I can't really comment on the drink menu. I did see a bartender preparing some kind of girly martini with Pop Rocks on the rim. Umm, hmm. The bartender that helped us was good and took the time to shoot the shit with us and regaled us with some funny stories. Everyone I came into contact with seemed nice enough.
If you're there to watch a sporting event, you can do better, but you can do worse. There were plenty of TV's and the viewing angles from most of the seats seemed good enough.
The decor is pretty awful, huge photos of Slash, Madonna, Kurt Cobain and other "icons" of the music industry, same stone walls as Tyfoon, but the whole "rock" concept is pretty lame. I know there are probably a TON of folks in Columbus that dig that sort of thing, but it seems pretty lame to me. The playlist the bar played after the game was pretty shitty as well, typical at best; Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, MGMT, Muse .. not exactly "hip" but I can see a night here being ruined by drunk folks singing Sweet Home Alabama and Don't Stop Believing with their BFF's. That being said, I know that if they started playing music I love, folks would probably walk out in droves, so I'm not being all elitist and stuff, you know?
And don't sit too close to the front doors, you'll freeze your ass off anytime someone enters or exits the bar. I joined some friends after they had already found seats, so I'll just have to chalk that up to my buddies lack of experience in making responsible decisions; like hanging out in the Arena District in a city full of really awesome and unique spots.

Had to update:
I've ventured back to BBR a few times since my initial experience. I was pretty impressed that the bartender remembered my beer of choice from my first visit back in January. The service was stellar and I will definitely be back to watch some of the upcoming March Madness games.
I went here for dinner with my husband and son and we loved it! I never thought I would give bar food 5 stars, but it  was better than most expensive restaurants and you can clearly  tell there is a creative chef in the kitchen that loves his job! We went during happy hour which lasts till 8pm during the week and got the cheesesticks and pepperoni flatbreak for $3 and $4, both were amazing! The 4 cheesesticks were each completly different, innovative and yummy! I had the mushroom swiss veggie burger with parmesan fries and a house salad with the best honey balsamic dressing ever! The veggie burger was house made and unlike any other! It was spicey and flavorfull. The parmesan garlic fries also fresh and delicious. My husband the cajun burger with cajun fries and a salad with lemon basil dressing, all also very good. We shared the the mac n cheese which was also  the best we have ever had! In all an excellent meal and we will be back for more!
Review Source:If there was ever a scenario at attempting to overshadow an older cousin and failing, BBR would be a prime example. Â Â I get the vibe that they are trying to be a "classier" Buffalo Wild Wings in the sports bar genre, but just can't make it to the top rung of the ladder. Â
After two visits here, I can't get a good feel for this place. The service was good, the beer was cold, and the food was stellar, but  the atmosphere for some reason just doesn't seem to combine together for the sports rocker image the bar wants to be known for.   It's was just hard to get into a sports bar mode when the office folks are sitting around the bar in suits.
Aside from the atmosphere, the food and service are pretty good. Â I ordered the Gorgonzola mushroom burger with a cup of the Beer Cheese Soup. Â Both were swamps of ooey, gooey, cheesiness. Â The burger was thick and cooked to medium-well as requested. Â Â The burger is a two hander to eat. Â Â The bar service was efficient: Â quickly taking orders, pouring drinks and making sure we were well taken care of. Â Â
Overall, this was not a bad experience, Â BBR just needs some time to figure out it's identity and what type of crowd it wants to attract.
The first two times I went to BBR I was a fan. Not anymore. Ate there tonight with two other guys to watch the OSU game. I ordered a salad, and the other guys ordered sliders and wings. Their food came out and mine did not. The server brought out two waters and put the water in the place where my food should have been, but did not say anything about my food. She ran away before I could even speak up about not having my food. She came back about 20 minutes later with my salad and I said I didnt want it and she about freaked out, said it wasnt her fault. I guess I do not know who was to blame if it was not the server. I then told her I just want my check. She comes back with the check and says she took off the salad, as if she were doing me some sort of favor. The server had two unique times to avoid me leaving upset and chose to not either time. The place is average at best, but nothing to deal with if you do not enjoy poor service and being blamed for their mistakes. I honestly would go to BBR any opportunity I had before, but I will not again. Thanks but no thank you.
Review Source:I upgraded my rating from 2 to 3 stars based on the beer being cold, faster service, less loudness, and better food. The happy hour deals cannot be beat. We had $1 sliders and I highly recommend any of them even off the regular menu. The cheese sticks are very good. You a good amount with a variety of cheeses.I need to go back and try a burger.
Review Source:BBR is just okay. There is nothing about the service, food, or drink that you can't get elsewhere in a classier setting for a comparable or cheaper price in Columbus. They are marketed as a rocker bar, but I have never met a rocker that would proudly proclaim BBR as their haunt and not be concerned about losing street cred. With so many options of cool trendy bars, dive bars, sports bars etc in Columbus, BBR's night life blends in with the genre of other bars in the same general vicinity.
They do have a moderately respectable drink list, but not one that I would call competitive with some of the best bars in Columbus. I would have been compelled to give them three stars because I like their concept, but I had to take a star off for dressing their waitresses/bartenders in a black and red version of the hooters girls costume which cheapened the experience for me.
A couple friends and I were headed somewhere to watch the game and decided to go here instead- what a great last minute decision! BBR has TONS of TVs...everywhere you sit you'll be able to see one...or two or three. We walked in to a packed place, but that's okay- the more, the merrier! Unfortunately, that meant sloooow service. It was probably halfway through the half quarter before we had somebody take our orders. I guess it was worth the wait though!
We got the fried cheese sticks, buffalo chicken dip, and sweet potato fries. Although nothing came out at the same time, that was okay because we all shared. The sweet potato fries, which came out first were pretty good and came with a cinnamon butter to dip with. They weren't the best I've had, but I did like the fact that they weren't covered with breading. The butter went untouched after the first dip, as I opted for ketchup.
The cheese sticks were awesome. They definitely weren't bought frozen, as each piece was a different kind of cheese, and they were all shaped differently. It was fun trying each one and guessing which cheese it was!
The buffalo chicken dip was served with a few pieces of sliced up pita, chips, carrots, celery, and green onions (as in long pieces of the white part to dip- weird?). There seemed to be plenty of dip to use up all of the "dippers," which was nice. The dip itself was really good- as other who have written reviews, I'd recommend it! It was really creamy and not very spicy...I couldn't stop trying to sneak a few bites from my friend!
This is basically a bar with upscale food and prices to go with it. I didn't have any drinks that night, but my friend said hers were really expensive. The appetizers were decently priced, but the entrees were a little high. Regardless of the prices, the food was above par for a bar and we are planning to go back to sample some of their other menu items! I think BBR definitely has the potential for 4 stars.
This place is so much different than any other bar in the Arena District. The DJs are excellent, playing a mix of new songs, old songs, and "wow I love this song. Haven't heard it in so long!" with a good beat to it. It is decorated with cool pics of famous singers and aritsts and another wall that is dedicated to only sports teams. For the men, you have the pleasure of going to the bathroom on a Michigan "M" in your toilets. They all seem to enjoy that one! Lol. They have awesome tables for a big group of friends and a fun dance floor. They also have a large patio. It doesn't seem big from the outside, but it's got everything you want in a good bar for the weekend.
Review Source:I'm a hesitant to write a review lest the rest of Columbus finds out that this might be the best place to watch OSU away games. Or, so I think.
I'm way too old to be in the Arena District without irony, yet I'll head that way to enjoy the inviting ambience and great happy hour at BBR. It's expansive, bright (by the windows!), has a decent sized patio (great for watching people on their way to making soon-to-be-bad decisions at Brothers), and while I didn't have the food while I was there, my friends did and I heard them moan a few times (at least, I hope it was from the food). The ultimate sports bar, it's got TVs everywhere, a huge round bar and may just end up being my favorite new place to head after work.
What a great find! This is a new place on Vine St. in the Arena District located where Typhoon used to be. Â BBR stands for Burgers, Beer, Rock. Â I met some friends for happy hour there yesterday. Â They have great happy hour specials: $2 domestic bottles, $3 draft imports (including stella), $4 wines, and $5 martinis and cocktails.
I tried 2 martinis before finishing my evening with a glass of Stella. Â I think I may have found my new favorite martini in Columbus. Â It is Cumfortable Numb. Â It is effen cucumber vodka with cucumber puree. Â It is a delicious summery cocktail that goes down very, very smooth. Â This was top notch and everyone at my table who took a sip said positive things. Â I also tried the Wild Thing martini. Â It is louder, slightly sweet...This is another one that goes down very easy.
I commented on the drinks and the waitress told me one of the guys is an actual mixologist who competes across the country. Â It shows. Â These were very good and at $5 for happy hour, very fairly priced.
My group also had a few appetizers...Buffalo Chicken dip, Calamari, Crab Cakes, and the Tater Chips. Â My favorite was the calamari. Â It was very tender, batter was not overly salty, and the sauce added to the end product. Â The crab cakes were also good. Â You get 2 with the order and the sauce is pretty delicious. Â The tater chips need some help. Â There just wasn't enough "stuff" to cover the chips. Â I'd be a fan of a cup of sauce to go with the chips.
BBR was not too loud at all for me. Â In fact, we all had conversation with ease. Â The wait staff also told me they could lower the music if I wanted. Â The employees were very good looking and personable. Â It was not an intimidating arena district place at all.
The inside of the bar is actually put together very well. Â I liked the decor a lot. Â There are blown up pictures of famous artists. Â There is a huge window at the front of the bar that you can sit near. Â There is outdoor seating. Â The bar is a big oval with seating all around. Â There are also high tops toward the back. Â Every seat has several large TVs in view, including a huge projector screen in the back.
I don't just hand out 5 stars. Â This is a nice place and I will be back.
I went here on a Friday night and my ears have not stopped ringing. I'm not joking. They have been ringing for a solid 4 days. The music was ear piercing and painful at some points. Call me old, call me sensitive I don't care, it was loud as shit! Even if I was 22 again it would loud. I was in there maybe 45 min and the group all wanted to leave.
The 5 bartenders of the evening were 3 hot tattooed chicks and 2 dudes. The drinks were fast and cold. I have no idea how they heard my orders, but they were exactly what I wanted. On one of the walls is nothing but mirrors and it made the space look HUGE!
When I went to the bathroom there was a guy dressed as Elvis working in there. I HATE it when bars do this. (hiring bathroom attendants) Â Listen I am not helpless and the bathroom is already crowded enough, I am able to get my own soap, turn on the facet myself and get my own paper towel and no I will not tip you if you do these things for me without me asking for assistance; HOW DARE YOU give me the stink eye when I do all that shit myself and I don't tip you! RIDICULOUS! (sorry for my rant).
There is also a ton of TVs to watch anything one could think of.
Good times.
BBR Columbus seems to have set its sights on being a casually cool modern rock bar with a secondary theme of sports pub. Â You'll have to tell me when you visit which it is, which it might be. Â BBR is on Vine, the Arena District, where there once sat a sushi restaurant. Â It has a large, airy spacious patio outdoors which should work great in Summer and Fall (think OSU post-game or Clippers). Â BBR (beer, burgers, rock) will become recognized for a menu of food items that one might call gourmet American favorites. Â I tried the Caesar Wedge salad along with the Tequilla Shrimp Tacos. Â SUPERB on both fronts and a nice marriage of tangy tastes. Â I believe I saw/read while there for my first visit the slogan, " ... a place to play all day, and rock all night." Â I think I counted over twenty-five HD Flat Screen TV's. Â My night was USA vs. Mexico in a soccer friendly (lots of soccer fans so World Cup and Crew fans - unite) and the Tribe vs Tigers (Indians Win!!). Â Most of the ambient music ranged from alternative to classic rock & roll. Â Behind the bar was Sarah and Grant who were friendly and attentive. Â The night manager, Brianna, is a classic beauty that has smarts and smashing good looks - Wow! Â For one night, one meal and two Grey Goose and tonics..... I thought BBR Columbus served up exceptional - my hope is for an encore and a boost to 5-stars. Â Give it a whirl.
