Arch City Tavern

This place is great. Busy as could be and ran like a well oiled machine.

Mostly high tops, but some other seating as well. I like the simplicity of the location. The fact they could open the front was also great. If you know the neighborhood of Short North, people watching and the buzz of the busy street are a nice addition to the food.

I have to admit, some of the menu choices had some "different" toppings on them. I am a little more simplistic for my toppings, so for me I had a few things taken off my burger, but for most, I like the creativity. I loved my burger, and hope that one day I can get back to try something else too.

Good drinks, great food, and a fun place to hang out. That's a place you should try.

This is the second time we had Lexi as a server and she was amazing as last time. Very attentive, knowledge of the menu was extensive and she has great conversation! Food was good as always but she makes the dining experience so much more! 10/10

I was visiting the area and craving a burger. The reviews led me here!

I ordered the arch city burger. Not my fave, but it was descent.

Great beer menu and definitely seems like a popular spot. They have a few tables that line the windows. Nice indoor/outdoor feel.

Service was attentive.

We had the most phenomenal burgers here!! We got the rise and shine, and then their classic arch city burger and they were incredible! The service was quick and the waiter was very friendly. It is a little dim lit in here, but if that's your vibe then it's great. Would definitely recommend for burgers and drinks here!!

My daughter and I were offered a table by the front open windows but since it was a hot evening, we chose to sit further in at one of the high-top booths against the brick wall. We shared the Fresh Cut Parmesan Truffle Fries as a starter. With a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, I had a half portion of the Butter and Bleu salad with grilled chicken, per the recommendation of our awesome, attentive and über friendly server Lexi and my daughter enjoyed her Grilled Cheese (I ate the paired tomato soup). The food is not your average bar food, but rather a fresh take on classics with inventive ingredients, packing a flavorful punch across the board. Overall this is a great choice for a solid meal with drinks in a casual and relaxed setting in Columbus.

Did I find a new favorite burger? This was an amazing experience. I heard a lot about their fries and was craving some good fries, so my wife and I went here.
She got the French onion soup with the truffle fries, and I got the Arch City burger. She loved her onion soup, and I absolutely loved the burger. Cooked perfectly to medium rare. Those fries were some of the best I ever had. The green sauce to dip it in was delicious. It felt like there was garlic in it, but ask for extra of that. It's delicious.

Holy cow.

Stopped in during happy hour to try the bratwurst corndogs. Since I love both, I have been eager to try them. Came right at 3 on a weekday, after picking up Baby K at school. I figured she could have some fries and we'd skedaddle.

Service was super, and helpful with a kid. Yeah, she probably shouldn't be in a bar, but it's a nice one, and it was daylight. Tables are a bit high for her. We got her plain fries and a veggie plate. She sampled some new things, didn't like the olives unsurprisingly. Did love the feta. And, loved the brat corndogs. They are good brats, with really just a very thin batter, deep fried. Served in coarse mustard. Very good. I tried the fries- thin and crispy and a huge portion. Also some of the veggie tray: fresh and tasty.

I expected the brat corndogs to be a gimmick, and the rest to be typical bar food. I was wrong. It was all quite good, and reasonably priced because of happy hour. And with great service, good music, a cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back- lots of interesting things on the menu. Interesting beer selection as well.

Go for $9 burgers on Monday!!! Such a great deal! Their salads are AMAZING too! I love their Cesar salad if I'm not feeling a burger. Super cozy inside and the service is always great! Be sure to make a reservation in advance as they can get busy.

Only downside is there is no gluten free hamburger bun option.

Arch City is the best!!
Popping in to say how amazing the Royal-tea cocktail is (gin, lavender, lemon, mint, YUM) as well as all the specials they have during happy hour.
The bratwurst corn dogs, southwest eggrolls, and sliders are all SO GOOD and super cheap during happy hour. I can't believe I just went there for the first time this week.
I will say that during golden hour if you sit by the windows the sun is DIRECTLY in your eyes, so definitely bring sunglasses if you want to sit there. Otherwise the interior is a bit dark.
Service was fast and friendly and the drink recommendation came from our server-- she was so right with that rec.
I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their menu items-- rather inventive and surprisingly tasty for a 'tavern'-- this, my friends, is not your average run-of-the-mill tavern. Way to go, Arch City! Thanks for a great happy hour.
