Worthington Tavern

Very cool place! Great atmosphere, great food, very good drinks. The service was top-notch! I highly recommend that you make reservations. Our server, Olivia, was fantastic! Before the night was over, an Irish dance group came in and did a dance to help raise money for a world competition they were in.

The salmon practically changed my life. I also got a job today, so I’m in a really good place mentally. Emotionally I’m like an 8/10. Spiritually, I am very sound. The brussel sprouts were so delicious - I made the whole table try a bite. How could I have something so good and not share it with my besties?? That would be so unloving. I am learning a lot about love lately. These brussel sprouts taught me that good things should never be kept to oneself. Good things are meant to be shared.. with the whole table. See how I neatly tied that all together? Anyways. Yesterday wasn’t as good of a day. But that’s ok because I am at the Worthington Tavern. If you’re not at the Worthington Tavern, ask yourself this serious question, “what in the actual freak?” Love you, mean it. Bye

SO good!!! Amazing happy hour menu and Ari was the BEST server!!! Would’ve posted more pics but I ate everything so fast

One of the better happy hours in the Columbus area. The cocktails are amazing and not watered down like some others during happy hours. The oysters were also great. Just on those alone, this place gets 5*. Only 4* on food because the rest of the food (pizza) we're solid but not super exciting. That said, we're definitely coming back.

I've kept an eye out on this place since they opened up in Worthington. I made our reservations for 4:30, which gave me plenty of time to enjoy Happy Hour (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) prices until 5:30. I loved the several seating options; upfront to people watch and glance over Worthington, inside in a nicely lit cool atmosphere, or outback on their newly build deck (do not recommend outback in the summer evening, it gets pretty sunny & hot). For appetizer, I tried their Oysters ($2/oyster during Happy Hour, but normally a whopping $4) with mignonette and a lemon. These tasted great, but they were minuscule. I'm glad I got to try them, but definitely will steer towards the different options next time. Worthington Tavern sets a different standard for specialty cocktails in this area, so I knew I was drinking here. I read literally everyone's reviews of this event to figure out what cocktails I wanted to try, and the conclusion was that they all looked great and I had to try them all... so I did (except for Game.Set.Match., that was unavailable). I brought along my forever drinking partner and disguised the experiment as a date. My top faves were Blacksmith Fashioned (tastiest old fashioned I've had) and Andromeda (feels like you're sipping on a galaxy). I cannot stress this enough, but definitely go here during Happy Hour!! Their drinks are normally $12-$14 but they're all $8 (including the Blacksmith Fashioned) between 2pm-5:30pm. For my meal, I ordered the Burger Deluxe. The wagyu beef was so tender, it melted in my mouth. The fries by themselves were good, but the dipping sauce that came with really made the fries great! My fiance ordered the Creole Shrimp Pasta, and I'm not big into pasta like that, but this tasted amazing. I honestly think I'd get this next time! For dessert, we split the Salted Butterscotch Budino ($8) which is basically butterscotch pudding topped with amaretto cream and came with two shortbread cookies. Great dessert, enough for 2 for sure!

Let’s talk about it shall we. First it’s new which is always a A+. The ambiance is modern with a touch of rustic. I love restaurants that display creativity and they did exactly that. My server Abby was very knowledgeable and attentive and she smiled a lot which made you automatically feel at home. The drinks were beyond my expectations made with organic ingredients and definitely packed a punch. I ordered their meatball appetizer which came with garlic and herb crostinis. I was in awe with the flavors very rich sauce. Also James which is the manager greeted us and was so kind enough to give us some great in site on the menu and the great things to come when they launch the grand opening! Definitely try the coffee martinis you will thank me later. I will definitely be back for the Grand opening pinkies up and forks down, Great place to try and stay a while. @letsgetspiced

This would have been a place I never found, honestly I have drive by those buildings in worthington countless time and never realized there were shops and restaurants there. I really enjoyed this place - like it's sister restaurants it has a cool interior design but it has its own vibe. These service was spectacular-Monique is a awesome waitress. We started the evening off with cocktails, I had the Honolulu sunset and wifie had the Margaret's fiery which were both delicious. For dinner I had the shrimp pasta and wifie had the burger which were both really really good. We finished it off with their flame baked cheese cake which was unique and different but really good. This is a cool place to hang out...

The food was amazing. Sat on the back patio during a hot day and the air flow was great- not too hot. Our sever was friendly and helpful. We got the eggplant app which was AMAZING, we also got the smash burger and chicken sandwich which were wonderful. Highly recommend! And kid friendly.

One of the best burgers I've had. I got the smash burger, which comes with two patties and simple toppings. De-lic-ious. The atmosphere was cozy too. We sat in a small room off to the left from the entrance which was lined with wall couches. A great time and definitely will be back. Service was great too. A great addition to Worthington.

Great food! Creative Cocktails! Good ambience. There was only one server, so it was a wait to get served drinks and dinner, but she really did her best! I had the eggplant dip with crudités and a shrimp cocktail. Both were very good. The shrimp were huge and came with a tasty remoulade. I had a drink called Splish Splash—really good! The pineapple shrub kept it from being too sweet.

Came here as a new resident after a long day of moving apartments. The Steak Frites were delicious, and my friend got the asparagus ceasor salad that was out of this world. Our server Bethany was amazing! Will definitely be coming back 😁

Olivia is an outstanding server! The food is always fantastic, eggplant dip & burgers are a go-to. Olivia made the night even better with her humor and attentive service.

Here’s a polished Google review you can use for Worthington Tavern that will read like a strong, authentic “30-point” type review: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worthington Tavern is the total package. From the moment you walk in, you feel the energy—welcoming staff, a great vibe, and an atmosphere that blends casual comfort with just the right amount of polish. The food is outstanding—every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. Whether it’s small plates for sharing, a perfectly cooked main, or something off their seasonal menu, you can tell the kitchen takes real pride in consistency and quality. The drinks are another highlight. Their cocktail list is creative without being over the top, and the beer/wine selection is curated to please both casual sippers and enthusiasts. The bartenders know their stuff and are always ready with a recommendation. What really sets Worthington Tavern apart is the service. The staff is attentive without being pushy, quick with a smile, and they make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time in. Add to that the location right in the heart of Worthington, with its walkable charm, and you’ve got a place that works for date nights, family gatherings, or just catching up with friends. This is one of those rare spots where you leave already planning your next visit. A true gem in the heart of America!

We absolutely love coming to WORTHINGTON Tavern! It’s quickly become one of our favorite spots for both family dinners and special nights out. The kids steak is always a hit – perfectly portioned, juicy, and cooked just right every time. And the salmon? Absolutely phenomenal! Flaky, flavorful, and beautifully presented – it's one of the best we've had anywhere. What really made our visit extra special this time was our server, Emily. She was FABULOUS – warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure everything was perfect from start to finish, and her genuine friendliness made us feel so welcome. WORTHINGTON Tavern combines fantastic food, a great atmosphere, and exceptional service. We can't wait to come back!

Worthington Tavern is a great date night option! The cocktails and food are great! A nice selection of beers on tap. We are there often! I would love to go for jazz night!

Olivia was really nice and helped us know about promotions and happy hour specials! We have also had Sandy as a waitress and she has been great too. This is probably our sixth time here in the last month and we have loved everything off the menu and drink menu. Jazz night is great too. We love their pizzas and they have some of the best fries and drinks in Columbus. Highly recommend!

What a gem! We wanted to try something new, and this place does not disappoint! We had the lovely Ari hosting, and Emily as our server. They were friendly and welcoming, and made great recommendations. We tried the Bang Bang Salmon and Steak Frites. Both were delicious! The Whipped Eggplant was smooth as butter, and I could eat it every day. The drinks were so cute, and delicious as well. Try it today!

The atmosphere is fun for an evening dinner. The smash burger is possibly one of the best burgers I have ever had. The price for the food is worth the quality you are getting and in this economy it’s normal. There is parking out back!

I am a veteran, and I saw something on Google that showed the worthington tavern having a 25% discount for veterans dining in. The waitress came over and was confused. Hannah the manager came over and not only did she honor the 25% discount for veterans, she made sure our table was discounted 25%. This establishment went above and beyond, I am sooo appreciative for this establishment honoring veterans. I am a forever customer and will be recommending to all who I know. THANK YOU HANNAH!!!!

The OKC Smash Burger is EVERYTHING!!!! They also brought out my drink in a peacock cup and had a flame show and everything. Drink was delicious (and strong too!). Service was great, always checking on us to make sure we were ok! Great place to visit!!

Nice and cozy. Not a large space, but very comfortable. We sat at the bar counter. Bartender was great. Had some appetizers that were awesome. Fun place to hang out for a little while. Outdoor seating was available and nice.

Great food (sopressatta hot honey pizza-so good and on happy hour!) even better service! Ari was so sweet and helpful. She answered all of our silly questions, and made sure to get our second round of drinks in before happy hour ended. Will be back!

I had an incredible dinner at Worthington Tavern, and the highlight was definitely the Piccante Pasta à la Vodka – perfectly cooked with just the right amount of heat and creaminess. My server, Emily, was outstanding; she was attentive, warm, and made the whole evening feel effortless. The overall vibe of the restaurant struck a perfect balance between lively and cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. I’ll definitely be coming back soon.

The restaurant has a nice open space in the back with an open feel. The food is very tasty with good portions, flavor and a lot of options for most any preference. Greta is on top of her tables, friendly, and always smiling :)

Nick is by far the best host, we thoroughly enjoyed our date night enjoying the game and the best wings in town….hands down. I want to tell everyone but I don’t cause this is my spot. Best drinks. Best food. Best atmosphere. Love this place!

The Worthington Tavern has the BEST ranch around—nothing else compares. It’s creamy, tangy, and absolutely perfect with everything. I was already impressed, but then Olivia brought the ranch right to me with a smile and made the whole experience even better. She’s awesome, and the ranch is next-level. If you love ranch, this is the spot!

Everything about this restaurant— the food, the service, and the atmosphere are absolutely incredible. Olivia definitely made the experience all the better! If my husband likes it… you should can guarantee it’s good (he’s one of the pickiest eaters I know)!

Great experience every time we come here. Atmosphere is perfect on a beautiful evening like tonight. Drinks n food were delicious. And Olivia our server was fantastic.

We LOVE Worthington Tavern. We have been dining here regularly since it first opened. The outside area and patio are lovely, the food is fantastic(try the bam bam salmon). Olivia was our server tonight and has been our server in the past. She is fun, energetic and fast to notice what you need. We will definitely be back!

We're frequent customers and love the OKC smashburger and the eggplant app. But we've never had bad food or bad service... truthfully we've never had below awesome food or service. Olivia is a fantastic server - great personality and fun! Great happy hour too!

Really great food and cocktails. I love the vegetarian crispy chicken sandwich! They used to have a great early grey cocktail; hope they bring it back sometime soon!

Great food, wonderful service, chill vibes, and the bartender was making great drinks!! The chicken and waffles are great, and the egg sandwich was on point (incredibly thankful for the server recommending the 1/2 portion because of how thick the egg is). Will say the coffee was not my favorite, but switching to mimosas and espresso martinis fixed that.

Good food, great service. Dishes were fine—like a solid home-cooked meal, nothing mind-blowing. What really stood out was the service: a young team that worked together and actually understood hospitality. I wouldn’t go out of my way just for the food, but I’llcome back for the experience no doubt.

Good food, it had some great unique flavors and was located in a good spot. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful, and gave a nice modern vibe to it. While the service took forever 😐, my older grandparents started getting quite upset. Unfortunately I was not feeling to great, so I probably did not get the greatest experience 🙁.

Fun food presentations, creative names, and quality service.

Food is decent service is decent atmosphere is on point for the area. Nothing stands out here. A good place to grab a quick bite. Overall 84%

We were seated right away and our request of where to sit was fulfilled Food was flavorful, but the bang bang salmon needs more salmon and little less broccoli. Mushroom stuffed ravioli was very tasty as well as the hot honey brussel sprouts. Our server was very efficient. We didn't have to wait for anything.

Such a cute, cozy little restaurant! I visited during dinner time and it was very intimate for friends and family! The staff was so sweet and friendly. The food was delicious (I had salmon!) and served quickly. My only complaint is that it’s hard to find parking! Otherwise, I’d love to come back and try more of the menu!

The service was fine, the atmosphere was good. Dined here for restaurant week July 2022. My appetizer was good (the meatball), main course was a burger, but it was really messy. It came with fries which were good! The cheesecake was good as well.

I went in on Halloween evening with my daughter and my friend and her daughter. The food was extremely basic. The waitress was not attentive. I kept having to to grap her attention and we were repeatedly ignored. We had to flagged someone down to get drink refills. Then it was extremely cold because were sitting in back and we had to request for someone to turn on the heating lamps. They had everyone else candle lite except ours. Honestly, I don't like to say this but I felt like there was some type of discrimination. My food was not very hot and it took a long to receive my food. All I ordered was wings and fries. The fries were decent but thats it. I would never again go nor would I recommend this place.
