I think it all depends on what you are looking for. Columbus has a lot to offer-anything from the complete dive bar, the neighborhood places where you can drink $1 beers and shoot pool or throw darts, to the $9.50 cosmotinis of Easton and anything in between.

Surprisingly, Lindey's GV has entered that race with a pretty strong happy hour menu.

I like Banana Bean Cafe's happy hour - $2 margaritas, free salsa and chips, $2 off their Bana Menu items. :)
Also love that the Refectory has their appetizers 1/2 off during happy hour.

Bodega would get my vote. Their huge selection of drafts + half-off drafts = WIN

185....but sometimes it is really loud and there are no seats....you should go give Bar 23 a whirl...I had only been there on weekends prior to the other night...it was great. AWESOME cheery server, ultra clean, very tasty pizza and I was not drinking but my pals loved their beers and martinis!!

I'm impressed with the happy hour at Lindey's. Half price on drinks (wine included) and munchies priced very low.
Additionally, Tony the bartender is very good at the trade. This is a good place to drink.

I love Villa Nova. Old-timey round bar. Ice cold beer on draught. Free pizza and wings and other classics. Popcorn machine. Funny jukebox. Frozen beer mugs. All elements that make me happy.

Being at Bar 23 feels like drinking in my dentist's office except I'm probably more comfortable being at the dentist. I've never seen a place with so little atmosphere and personality. I'd much rather go next door to MoJoe and guzzle those pitchers of Ketel One Lemonade they have on special during the nice weather months.
I think Bodega is still my fave. I'm going to dig on the patio of Hampton's in the spring and summer though for dollar beers and $6 margarita pitchers on Tuesdays.
Maybe this has turned into my favorite summer happy hour places post...
I need to get back to work. :)Posted 4 years ago # -

Other suggestions for the northern end of the No. 2 line/Olentagy bike path: the Worthington Inn serves a fantastic bar app menu with wine/house cocktail specials. A little past old Worthingon, J. liu serves original recipe $5 martinis that pair really well with their HH bar munchies.

On one block in Old Worthington, you can find five places with happy hours, some better than others, depending on what you want: Old Bag, PK O'Ryan's, The Worthington Inn, La Chatelaine and House Wine. House Wine for the wine, craft beers, and patio, The Worthington Inn for the food, and Old Bag for the cocktails and domestics.
Definitely a good call for Villa Nova down the road. Just a laid back atmosphere. Hit the happy hour or get a late night dinner without much hassle. Bodega is my favorite in the city because they have the best draft selection, at half price durin HH.
