greetings everyone. I am in Columbus tomorrow night for business Monday and was hoping to get some advice as to the best spots to hit for dinner/drafts as well as any bottle shops around the downtown which would be worth hitting. Specifically interested in 3 floyds but beggars can't be choosers. Have already scanned Ohio forums and BA reviews. Just looking for some friendly advice. Cheers!
Agreed with post above Bodega for drafts. If your okay taking a short cab ride, check out The Crest in Clintonville. The Crest will have its draft list on beer menus. Bodega has a website but not sure when the last time its been updated. House Beer in the Short North sometimes has 3Fs, decent to-go bottle selection as well.
Barrel & Bottle in the North Market has a decent selection. North Market is a great place to go for lunch, so you can kill two birds with one stone. Three Floyds is going to be hit or miss. Your better bottle shops and beer bars are farther south and would require a car or cab ride, so your best bet in the area is probably World of Bros in the Brewery District. If you're willing to drive or take a cab, I'd head towards Clintonville and hit The Crest or Studio 35 (it's a movie theater but they have a bar with a really good draft selection - usually 2-3 FFF beers on the reg) bar-wise and Weiland's for bottles.
Thanks everyone for the info. Ended up hitting Bodega last night for dinner and 101 beer kitchen in Dublin for lunch today. Had some great food and even better beer. Ironically it turns out if I was in town one day earlier could have tried for the three floyds tap takeover brunch. Only had Robert the Bruce and Pride and Joy pouring this afternoon. They had already kicked the other 6 kegs they had on Sunday. Zombie Dust and their "surprise keg" of Dreadnaught each lasted about 35 minutes according to the bartender I spoke to today.
