Pointe Tavern

This place is a really great neighborhood bar.  Always the same great crowd... Never any fights or drama.  Patio, pool tables and cheap beer!  Dollar beers on Sunday nights is my favorite.  Nice flat screens, too.  I'd definitely recommend this bar.

For those referring to Pointe Tavern as a Dive bar, uh, you're wrong. They have a pretty decent set up and it is a lot bigger than I anticipated, as the outside of the bar leaves a bit to be desired.

We came here with a group of about 10 or so to watch the Buckeyes play in the Sweet 16. We got there right at game time, after realizing King Ave 5 was too packed to even stand. I was surprised at how many people were here! We all found a place to stand and there were plenty of TVs (and a huge projector screen) to keep us happy. Their seating at the bar and tables looks pretty great and I'm sure you would have an easier time finding a spot when March Madness isn't taking over Columbus.

There was a sign out front that they recently started serving food (which appeared to be from the Granddad's Pizza folks) and honestly the smell was overwhelming. My clothes still smelled like bar food the next day. But it was one of those things you get used to after 15 minutes or so and I didn't really notice after awhile.

We stuck to beers and it was awesome that they were offering $1 Yeungling Draughts during the game. I don't really like Yeungling, but I DO like a one dollar price tag, so you can guess which won. They had a pretty good list of some craft beers as well, though not nearly as extensive as other bars.

I peeked into the adjacent room and saw a (few?) pool tables and I think darts. Also, the bathrooms looked fairly new and were clean, which is huge.

I'd definitely be into coming back here. Though it's not the most convenient bar for me, it's a great location for bf and his friends in the Grandview/UA area, so count me in.  

Oh...and dive bar, it is not.

Stopped here the other night to watch the Buckeyes play in the sweet 16, thinking it would be low key. This place was actually hopping. They are under new management and i had heard underwent renovations...I think that was new carpet and a new tv, not much has changed. My clothes still smell weird from this place. Grandad's Pizza has set up shop here, which is a nice addition. The pizza looked decent and I drunkenly ordered some loaded tots (bacon, sour cream, chives, nacho cheese). Disgustingly ok.
