I was in from out of town and Rob made me feel like a true local. He made my experience more memorable than the event I came into town for and next time I come to Columbus I'm coming back to Flatiron just for him. What a great bar with an even more exceptional bartender!
The food was pretty good and the drinks were excellent. The patio dining is very cute with nice decorations. The service was speedy and courteous. The building is a classic brick which adds to the ambience.
The ambiance is not great. You will get a definite dirty old dive bar vibe when you walk in but, its all uphill from there. The menu seems like pretty typical pub fare. Everyone at my table went with build your own cheesesteak options and sides of tater tots. The tots were so nice and crispy! They were great. My sandwich was ribeye, habanero pepper jack cheese, banana peppers and cherry pepper aioli. It was a simple well cooked cheesesteak with some nice light heat. Everyone was very satisfied. Added bonus, the bathroom was surprisingly clean and well maintained.
Easy going local watering hole. Nothing fancy and not cringy The wings are absolute fire! Crispy, juicy and with in house made sauce. I was not impressed by the hummus, due to it being chunky. The favor was great, the texture was not.
Four star rating is an average. As a BAR: five stars. Nice ambiance, friendly people, good selection of drinks, great patio out back. As a RESTAURANT: three stars. Average bar food; great if you want a burger and rings, not great if you're looking for vegetables. Summary, great spot for drinks and bar food, but don't take your foodie friends.
Ordered pick up from here & was very satisfied with taste & care for food. I got the chicken Philly and omitted the onions. I love that they included multicolored peppers. The cheese sauce was good without being too much. The real story here is that myself and a friend ordered food but paid online and paid separate. Neither of us are locals so when we pulled up in the car we couldn't find any parking spots nearby and it was dark so searching wasn't exactly the best idea. I stayed in the car running while she ran in to grab both our orders. The staff helped her pack it back to my car and also confirmed it was my order as well! Love the kindness. Would definitely come back to eat in as it looked to be a cozy space.
Stopped in with some friends to get something to eat. And I told everyone at the table to try the Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak. And it was simply amazing. My friends kept saying it was the one of the best sandwiches they have ever had. The service was great, the food was amazing. And the overall atmosphere was laid back and cool for a Friday night. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Can't wait to comeback and get another Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak!! If you are looking for a solid sandwich this is your sign to go and try one here! Also they have some really amazing tater tots.
