This is the coolest little girly pub I have ever been in. You just feel right at home here. I had the tastiest tomato soup with an off the hook club sandwich on a cold spring day that just warmed me right up. Too cute decor.

We stopped in for drinks and lunch after doing some shopping in the Short North neighborhood and loved the decor and atmosphere. We had some excellent cocktails and the food was pretty good too. The service was not the greatest, our server wasn't super friendly and did not check on us for long periods of time, but the food and... More

Interesting menu with much more than just "bar" food. Great atmosphere with lots of character. We visited before Halloween and the entire bar was artfully decorated for the holiday.

Go after the meatloaf sandwich or the BLT&A. Highly recommend either one. There is a very good selection of beers. Some a little to weird for me, but most are real good. Have never had the cupcakes, but I hear they are some of the best in the city.

After a late night activity in Short North, it is good to know a great place to eat, that stays open late and has convenient free parking. Surly Girl Saloon is a smallish, casual, thematically decorated place, with bar seating and high tables and stools. The service is consistently friendly and fast, and the menu is unique and fun.

We were there during the holidays, so I loved the addition of holiday decorations to the eclectic decor. The food was very good and service was quick and courteous.

This bar is uniquely decorated- I feel comfortable here. I enjoy their drinks, and their desserts. This is a great bar to stop in at the beginning of the night, to get you jazzed up for the evening.

We discovered this place when visiting Columbus to shop the antique shops. My husband was so happy with all the different microbrew beers on tap! The food is not the norm either. If you lean toward spicy you will be happy. Little touches like poblano mayo on your sandwich or chiles in a dish, it's the bomb. Love their jalapeno... More

Lovely cod surrounded by beer-batter crunchiness? Sign me up. All that's missing is the newsprint for authenticity.

We hit the Surly Girl Sun. morning @ 1:30am and found great food and great beer. The decor and vibe are very cool and laid back. Service was very good too considering they were still busy but getting ready to close.
