Best bar staff in the city! Also a fantastic bourbon and scotch selection at a much better price than Barrel 44.
So much better since the remodel. Great lower bar and awesome addition upstairs. Reliable spot.
Jamie BackJanuary 8, 2010Has the BEST rooftop view in Columbus and $1 domestics Mon - Friday from 4 - 7pm. This is one of my favorite "chill" locations.
QuinnDecember 22, 2013Quickly becoming one of my faves. Simply need to drink more to lesson some of the douche approach :P
Before the current there was the real Novak's. We will forever remember the before (and try to embrace the after). *Cheers*
If you get hit by a car.....and still get a jack and coke afterwards ....up top...you're a baller
Jessie SlaterMay 7, 2011Jenny and Rebecca are two of Columbus' best bartenders!! Great place to meet men and OU alumni. Great atmosphere.
Kyle SchrumpfNovember 4, 2013Washed up suit an tie guys come here to try and find easy women that want to have their kids- Scioto ValleyJune 15, 2011Great view of the Arena District from the rooftop patio & the jukebox is always rockin’.
Despite being the workplace of Lindsay Lohan's doppleganger, this place is a no fuss staple with a decent roof crowd. Free popcorn!
I miss the old novaks. Now it's just another park street bar and I avoid it these days.
Lindsay BeachMay 7, 2011Smells like Hibachi. Tastes like Red Bull. So much ass it's ridiculous! I love it!
Aran MorrisJuly 6, 2013I do not recommend, after paying 8 credits on the jubebox they over took it and voided my credits, the play shitty music
