Jimmy V's Grill & Pub

Love this place! Great spot for a beer and the food is good too. Love the appetizer platter! It's a must share for the table.

So I met a blind date here that I had met on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FMatch.com&s=811cc30022d77156f869d2477f68d5823aaf9b46b799319ab032f2da80256579" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Match.com</a>.  Was looking for a comfortable, clean, cool spot with complimentary lighting and good energy.  I'm not from Westerville so I was going to chose between Jimmy V's and the Old Bag of Nails.  It was a saturday night and I found a great spot at the copper top bar for me and my blind date.  She showed up and was absolutely beautiful and quite engaging.  We had a great time and there was a really good live band playing.  Didn't catch their name but the base player had this crazy beard.  We had a few drinks and went with a couple appetizers to munch on.  Food was good, drinks were good, vibe was good, lighting was excellent and the cumulative affect was just enchanting for a first date.  The only down side was the bar tender was so busy that he didn't give us much attention.  I would have docked this place a star for slow service but the date went so well that I can't deduct.  

A four star experience for drinks but the evening ended with a five-star kiss!

Thanks Jimmy V's for a great first date venue!

The calamari alone saved this from being a one star review.  The Greek salad (this is a greek place, right?) was shockingly small for a $7 dinner salad, and there were only two lonely kalamata olives on it; it was a bit overdressed as well.  I can get a better salad for $2 at Pasquale's across the street.  I know this is a pub, but the swarthy-mouthed drunkards who were spewing profanity really didn't help my enjoyment.  As I said, I know it's a bar, but I feel like management should have intervened on behalf of the many children who were present.  To their credit the calamari was really wonderful and our server was on point.  I left feeling like it wasn't worth the trouble though.
