Was out for a drive this afternoon found myself near Groveport, Ohio USA. Â Never been there before, time to check it out. Â If you've never been to Groveport, it's a very quaint town just outside of Columbus's SE side. Â Lots of Civil war era buildings and houses.
The Birch Tavern caught my eye, so I parked out back and went in. Â I'm thinking a couple beers and some sort of sandwich for lunch might hit the spot.
The young dark haired bartender lady greeted me as I walked in. Â Also got a nod and a hey from the 5 people clustered at the end of the bar. Â Friendly enough place.
The bar is paneled floor to ceiling in, guess what? Â Birch!. Â All over, everywhere, even in the restrooms.....Not my thing but hey I've seen worse ideas. Â It did look clean though, very clean.
The bartender though was top drawer. Â She got my drink order and I asked her if they served food. Â She apologized and said they didn't but there was the Little Italy Pizza place that delivered food if I wanted and she gave me their menu. Â She did check back a few minutes later and asked if she could call in an order for me. Â It was very nice of her to offer, but I decided Italian wasn't really what I wanted after all.
Had a couple beers and a few more locals - regulars came in. Â My bill for two Yuenglings was $5.00. Â Great prices. Â Left her a $2 tip and went on my way.
