Mike's Grill

If you are looking for a cash only spot with amazingly low prices on cocktails, shots and crafts...this is it! My buddy turned us on to 'Mike's Grill' and we are so thrilled. It's a great relief from the bougie bars! Don't set service and ambiance expectations high as you will be disappointed. Mike's is a brilliant dive bar and Cbus should be thankful it exists. A must stop on your High Street travels or you are missing the fun.

I was with a group of people from out of town and when we couldn’t get a seat at a fancier bar across the street, we checked out Mike’s. Definitely a dive bar but I loved it (and I’m not a dive bar person). Cash only! Cheap drinks. Loved that right after we got there a group of about 20 people rolled in from a party bus. It really was a good time!

This place is amazing. Best atmosphere in Columbus to hangout and have drinks. Zach is the best bartender and human ever!

A great dive bar. There's nothing fancy about this place but if you just want to have a beer and a good time, this is the place for you. They also have jello shots for a dollar. They also welcome dogs that are trained.

Literally came in random on Monday at 10 am wondering around a dead city and Zach was fantastic and made my morning - from Cle ty

I've only been here once and it is literally my favorite bar in the country. Really down to Earth staff and owner, truly a place where everyone knows your name. If I lived in Columbus, I'd be their next regular. Also, they've got a Tron Pinball machine. 11/10

A memorable night shared with memorable people. Mikes Grill is a stable of the Columbus scene and is a must see for tourists and locals alike.

2 free jello shots!! Thank you!! Cash only so make sure to bring your monies.

Old school dive bar been here since 1943 don't serve food OK if you bring it in, dog friendly nice patio out back

On a bachelorette party & this was our last stop on the peddle wagon. Saved the best for last!!! Great place, everyone was friendly, service was awesome. Definitely a locals hang out, (my kind of place)! Hidden gem.

Best dive bar in the Short North!

I've been here many times and I still have not located the "grill."

Cheap drinks. They have a jukebox and the bathroom door doesn't lock properly. You can smoke in the back patio if you want to. Enjoy!

This place was seriously a mystery to my friend and I. We aren't from the area, walked in because it looked divey, and the bartender was such a nice guy! Somehow we didn't end up paying for any of our drinks, but it definitely was not a creepy vibe by any means. 10/10 recommend if you like a good dive and not complicated drinks.

Best bar in Columbus, hands down (it’s not even close). Whether you’re a local or visiting Columbus, this should be the only bar you go to.

I asked for a strong sweet drink.
The bartender really hooked me up.

Best dive bar in the city. Drinks are cheap. Make sure to bring cash they don’t take card.

Best dive bar in Columbus hands down! Remember it is cash only so bring plenty of cash amd be ready for the $1 jello shots! The bartenders are awesome and do a great job! A must visit if you are planning on coming to Columbus! Honestly just go and find out for yourself, words really dont do this place justice lol

I love this High Street staple. Mike's has stood the test of time. This old school, blue collar bar is a dusty vestige of the good old days where cash was king, and bars were bars.

Shelby gave us the best service we’ve experienced at any bar. Truly a local gem.

Mike's Grill is the closest thing to Cheers in the Short North (also check out St. James if you're looking for that vibe). Mike's will sell you cheap beer and the bartenders are great. No frills, cash only!

Walked by this place so many times without noticing it. It's a cash only place that has good prices and lots of space. Not much in the way of entertainment, but there is a pinball machine by the back. Fun place to go with a group of friends if you're looking for a place to hang on a weekday afternoon.
