My bartender was outstanding-young man in a Jameson hat- on top of drinks, food delivery.The beer choices are unique and tasty.The food is creative and amazing.This was my 3rd time at Forbidden Root every time has been top notch.
We reserved one of the event rooms for our wedding rehearsal dinner and are beyond happy with our experience! We contacted Michael a few months before our wedding and he was amazing to work with.He was so attentive to our group's food allergies/dietary restrictions and did everything possible to make the evening play out exactly as my wife and I envisioned! The food was incredible across the board.The appetizers, soups/salads, and meals were all delicious and plentiful.There was a meal for everybody in the group regardless of their food preference or allergies/dietary restrictions.Michael ensured the menu was exactly what we wanted, the room was set up the way we asked, and that all the appetizers were set up as soon as we arrived.All of the service staff was very friendly and timely which made the rehearsal dinner seamless for our guests. All our guests emphasized how impressed they were with the food, beer, cocktails, and service.Michael, Zoe, and the whole team were so easy to work with and provided us with a perfect rehearsal dinner for our wedding party.I encourage everybody to read about the history of Forbidden Root and give this place a try, you will not be disappointed! My wife and I will 100% return next time we are in Columbus! Exceptional food, drinks, and service.A huge thank you to Michael and the staff for an unforgettable evening!
Owner response
Very, very kind words.It sounds like the wedding weekend was a success.I am glad we could be a part of it.We wish you all the best and look forward to your next visit.Michael
It's your typical industrial chic bar, with a decent selection of local drafts, and service that meets expectations. It's a short but noticable walk from the mall, especially in the rain.There are free parking garages all around. I didn't personally care for the draft choices, but it was perfect for my situation, which was to catch up with some friends after an all day event.The hidden gem of this place is their Ramen Spiced Mac n Cheese.It was so good and packed a little heat.I'm considering going back for that alone.
Owner response
Thank you for the kind words and I hope we impress you enough on your next visit to earn a fifth star.Our draft choices change every few months as we are constantly brewing and produce new beer every 2 - 3 months.In fact we have 7 new beers coming out this week!
