Julep

fast service for a recommended jolly rancher shot. Pretty large menu of food options, including many gourmet Mac and cheeses. Plenty of seating including bar, high tops and even couches. Plenty of tvs with a variety of things airing like sports and music. Plentiful draft list as well. Very busy on Fridays and Saturdays and slower most other nights. Fairly long happy hour. 4-8p m-f.

Super clean and updated place! How we walked in and were the only people at 5pm on a Saturday night is beyond me. The drinks and food were amazing! The bartender was so nice and I am just confused. Highly recommend people move from overcrowded places a few feet away and check this place out!

We were attending the Art Walk and we found ourselves in the Julep for a quick drink. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We decided to try some appetizers and I was so happy that we did. We had the loaded fries, trash can nachos, red beet hummus and bacon strips. (see pictures). Everything was amazing. We were fighting over the bacon strips. The beet hummus was so delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other items.

A great change of pace in the Short North area!! Normally when I decide to go out for a drink on High St I am confronted with an incredibly crowded, small and loud environment that requires minutes of waiting before a bartender is able to provide service to me. However, this weekend when I decided to give Julep a try, I was pleasantly surprised! The manager, Kyle, instantly greeted my party upon entering and was extremely welcoming and hard working throughout our stay. The music was conducive of a fun, conversation-full atmosphere. The bar was very appropriately filled, and the lovely bartender, Peyton, was serving everyone at the bar with a friendly, professional, and timely manner! I will certainly be including Julep in my normal bar rotation from here on out!!

Regular spot for me and my girlfriend. Security is very chill, they do pat downs but it makes the place feel much safer. Bartenders are super nice, always quick service and making sure we’re taken care of!

Went on MONDAY only.

Based on that visit, food and drinks were good. Angus beef hotdog for $1. Drinks were good but took so long to make them.

They have huge sides Jenga and 4 in a row games.

Absolutely love coming on slower days, the bartender, Kyle always is on top of things and makes lovely drinks for my friends and I! The attentiveness and customer service were great! We also love the taco tuesday deal! The tacos are actually authentic.

Really had a lot of fun....space is small but definitely enjoyed the atmosphere

This place is so much fun! It definitely can be a little loud, so if you're looking for a very relaxed atmosphere, you probably won't enjoy. That being said, though, it was pretty low-key. It was not overly crowded, and they have a great inside and outdoor patio. Also dog friendly!!

I’m not really sure why Julep has less than stellar reviews. I’ve been 3 times now and each time the service was great, the food was very tasty, and the beer and drink selection was good. The patio is great for people watching and the atmosphere in general is nice. Everyone I was with enjoyed it too. One of the negative reviews mentioned the bathroom line being really long...that’s not exactly the bar’s fault.

This is a really great bar that doesn't draw a huge crowd on most days. The bartenders are attentive and the drink prices aren't bad. They have a good selection of draft beer and even have a pour your own beer station when it is really busy. There's a nice side patio and a few unique bar games such as big jenga and big connect four. If you want to go out in Short North but want to avoid the crazy crowds, this is a great place to go.

We went there on a Thursday afternoon, it was very quiet. Abby was our bar tender, she was amazing. The drink selection was great, we had a good time.

Friday night, very loud, very fun, and super nice staff. If you're looking for a quiet night its not the place for you. But if you want to cut loose and have some fun with friends its a great place to go.

Excellent selection of drinks. The staff are friendly and the prices are not bad. They have rabbit wings (rabbit legs) and a monster nacho dish with all of the toppings. The portions are generous and the flavors are very good. It's worth the walk to check them out.

Oh yeah, they have several tv's to watch whatever games or shows you want.

The wings were amazing the price was even better we've certainly found a new place for monday night date night.

The only critique I have is if someone wants to order 12 wings to let them do so, that could've been an extra dollar for the business. Pretty rare that someone would turn down more money.

Other than that I would highly recommend!

Found this spot on the Short North strip after walking past too many bars with long lines on a Saturday night. We walked right in-no lines! Place isn't huge, but it makes use of it's space well by having an open-air patio. Very nicely lit decor, with Human-size Jenga, a Human-sized Connect Four game, good craft beer selection and nicely blended mixed drinks. Shout to the DJ Nick James who was spinning a killer set of music from the 2000s to today. It was our first and only stop last night, and we had a blast! Would definitely come again for a night out in Short North!

Amazing service! The entire staff was extremely friendly, and the food was amazing! The food menu is small, but fantastic and there's 40+ beers priced fairly and we were able to sample a couple before making a selection. Highly recommend, will definitely be returning!

Great bartender and good drink selection! Atmosphere was nice as well and the playlist they had going was pretty great. I don't hear a lot of Tame Impala at bars anymore.

Great experience. The guy I was with was in a bad mood, but it was amazing none the less... also staff were super attentive and friendly. They had $5 WAP shots and it was just an overall good time.

A friend and I had a great time here during Pride this afternoon! Staff was friendly and the drinks + food are delish!! I'll definitely return when I'm back in Columbus.
