Sweeney's Walnut Tavern

“We stopped here for an afternoon drink on a beautiful fall day. What a great place! It's a beautifully restored historical home. Plenty of intimate indoor spaces as well as great bar areas and outside seating. So fun!! I can't wait to go back!!”

“Loved the low key vibes of this place. Was visiting the city and someone recommended it; it was not on my list of places to hit. A great surprise. If you are looking for a place to hang out with a couple beers and relax with friends, this is the place. If I'm in Columbus again will be back!”

“New player in town, old school vibes inside, vinyl records playing in the background. Cocktails were yummy. Check it out if you can find it. Dark park right behind it if you have pets.”

This is an awesome little bar. The owner lived in this home originally and has converted into one of the most charming little bars in all of Columbus. Great staff and just a great spot to come have a drink. They also have a nice backyard for random live music acts. a must visit. Very close to Land Grant.

Yesterday (Saturday, 11/08/2025), was my first time time here. We met some out-of-state friends here for a two-hour visit. We started on the outdoor, back patio, until cool weather and a breeze sent us inside to the corner of the bar. The bartender was very pleasant, efficient and smooth on his feet (making it look easy). There are three, indoor seating areas not at the bar. Despite living 35 minutes away, I plan to return with friends in the future. A very cool neighborhood establishment!

Cool bar hidden near landgrant. Cool drink options and story behind the existence of the bar. Apparently it used to be someone's home then the owner kept having parties with friends then turned it into a bar. Could be wrong but it's cool. Indoor and outdoor seating. Indoors is pretty cramped tbh but its not well known so usually will have a spot and meet some random to vibe with. Limited beer options fyi. Great staff and overall experience I will gladly come back regularly.

Coolest bar in town. Feels like you're going over to a buddy's house for a beer and a shot of Malort, in the absolute best way possible. It's the kind of bar that every guy thinks they could open. But this dude actually did it.

Charming, cozy, and beautifully curated. Hidden gem that’s just a short walk from Brew Dog and Land Grant. Escape the busyness and tuck away here where there’s fabulous drinks, engaging staff, good lighting and excellent music spinning! A true neighborhood bar for the people. Cheers!
