Harrison's on Third

Harrison's on Third is the place to be on Mondays! $.25 wings! Probably some of the tastiest in Columbus. The great wing deal is accompanied by $2 yuengling. Perfect night for such a deal! Especially if you're a sports lover.

When I first moved to Columbus, Harrison's was my neighborhood bar. I'd pop in on off hours, recognize the bartenders, get great service on weekends, and since it is right down the street from my apartment, it was always a great starting bar or place to end the night.

I'm afraid those days are long gone. Now there is new management, new bartenders, a new menu and definitely some new loud, rude, bro-ish clientele. Granted, when I first moved here I was fresh out of college, so maybe it's just me getting older that makes this place just not fit anymore.

My most recent visit here will hopefully be my last for awhile. Bf and I went to meet his brother for a quick dinner and a few drinks at about 8:30 on a Saturday. I was baffled as to how busy it was and we went on the hunt for a table. We found a table - with no chairs. Asking the neighboring tables (politely) who had stolen the chairs (which had no people in them) if we could have them back, they looked at us like we were asking them for an unthinkable favor. Annoyed, they gave us one. Spent a few minutes tracking down two more.

Though we had been sitting for about 15 minutes, we never saw a server or were greeted in any way whatsoever. Unless you count the college girls in their heels and skirts who were mean-mugging me for being in jeans and boots. I was just grabbing a bite to eat! At Harrison's! Give me a break!

When bf's brother arrived he asked if we could relocate since it smelled like puke. We did. When recounting our experience to friends the next day they said, "Oh man, you went there? Last time I was there it smelled like puke".

Happy to inform you all it still does.

Neighborhood bar filled with younger crowd than down the street at Zeno's.

Went in to meet an old friend and found that it was difficult to talk with the jukebox being so loud. Music was not my style.

Had an awesome little Hawaiian sandwich with some killer sweet potato fries though. Fries were a little on the cold side, but were good none-the-less.
