Betty's Bar

One of the most underrated dive bars in the city. Make sure you bring cash. They've got pool and great chill spot before catching a game at Hunting Park or for a CBJ game. If you are lucky, you'll be there on a thursday!

Great place to go before a Blue Jackets or Clippers game (and the Crew, when the new stadium is finished. Grad a beer or another type of drink and warm up for the game! Great burgers and sides are much better than spending more money at the concession stands! The owner and her staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Shorty and her staff are the absolute best!! Always greeting you with a smile! And to top it off, one of the top 3 burgers in all of Central Ohio!! And don't even need to talk about Thong Thursday's!! And she has the best "hours" of any bar I have ever seen.....Open when she gets there and closes when she leaves!! Keep up the great work Shorty!!

This place is a dive. That's really the only way to describe it and it's also my favorite bar in Columbus. The drinks are cold and cheap, the bar tenders are nice, the customers are mostly regulars and friendly, Shorty the owner is a funny, no nonsense lady, and the food is deep fried deliciousness. The hours are wacky. Only time they're guaranteed to be open is on Thong Thursdays and when the Blue Jackets or Clippers are playing. Otherwise you run the risk it's closed and to be fair Shorty's warned you on the side of the building that might be the case. In the winter they have the fireplace roaring, there's no windows, and it's a dark and seedy ambiance. Everything a neighborhood bar should be. It also only takes going a couple times a month for a game before the bartenders know you. I now get the "having the regular?" question when I come in. Downtown to catch a game? Definitely consider coming here for a drink before heading over for the $10 cans at the arena.

This is a great dive bar before or after a Crew soccer match. Many supporters make their way here to grab a beer or bucket, and get pumped up before a match. After the game, stop for a beer or bathroom break and let all the traffic thin out. No stress while having a cold one and discussing the finer points of another Crew victory!

Review update: Betty's is still the best bar in Columbus. You really can't ask for a better bar. Great place to stop in before/after a hockey or baseball game, or whenever they are open. The hours sign says "open when i get here, closed when i leave" and it is true. The hours end up being a little wonky because of this. Alcohol is very reasonably priced. The food is reasonably priced and phenomenal. Mostly bar bites, such as burgers and fries.

I know most people hit up R Bar before a Jackets game, but for me, Betty's is THE spot to pre game and post game. Hell, even during the game if you don't have tickets! We need more places like this in the world. Found myself here many, many times and have always had an absolute blast!

A reliable hole-in-the-wall bar for pregame and postgame food and beer. Cans and bottles only, no draft beer, moderate liquor selection as well. Small but reliable food menu. I got the Betty’s burger and was very pleased.
