Pastimes Pub & Grill

One of Worthingtons best kept secrets. Good beer selection, good bar food and great service. I stumbled upon it a few months back and now make a point to eat and/or drink there once a week.

In my hunt for places with wifi around Polaris that have beer and food - this was a winner.

Went for lunch for an intern's first day, and at the request of a PM who loves the place. I was pleasantly surprised - the food is bar food, so not exactly anything that would wow me, but the service was attentive and fast, the drinks cold, and the wifi free.

Definitely will make a point to return.

The name Pastimes reminds me of Grandpa Simpson, sitting in his chair, talking about stuff that happened way before we were born.  Then he forgets who we are or why we're there. I think Grandpa Simpson works at Pastimes.

My friends and I come here pretty frequently for their Wednesday night trivia competition.  We always order a little something to eat, and Grandpa Simpson always gets something wrong.  It's become an inside joke for all of us, because we can never get all of our food 100% right.

One week, it was a burger missing the toppings we had ordered.  Another it was unrequested mushrooms all over our pizza.  Frequently, the wrong beers are delivered.

The best time was when I ordered the tacos.  The waitress asked, "Soft or hard?" (That's What She Said, bro high-five!)  I ordered the hard.  I was brought, inexplicably, a single massive soft tortilla, folded burrito-style and filled with taco meat.  Neither hard nor taco.  

You know what?  We don't care.  We just roll with it and see what Grandpa serves up next.
