The Butcher’s Tap

It really wish I could leave a better review, but our experience here was awful. My husband ended up with food poisoning just hours after we ate here. He had severe stomach cramps, nausea, and was sick all night. We’re absolutely certain it was from this restaurant, as it was the only meal we shared that day. On top of that, the food didn’t even taste fresh. My husband’s dish had an odd smell and flavor, but we didn’t think much of it at the time. Clearly, we should have trusted our instincts. When we called to let them know what happened, the staff seemed dismissive and didn’t take any responsibility. No apology, no concern — just indifference. Food safety should be a top priority for any restaurant. We will definitely not be returning, and I strongly suggest others think twice before

My husband & I visit Butchers Tap somewhat frequently because we live nearby & they always seem to have an open seat for us. In the past I have also booked them for a private event & it was perfect. I cannot recommend renting out their upstairs space for a private party enough. The staff was great & the food what just what our event needed. It was also such an affordable option for our event. Loved it.

Ordered 2 bloody mary’s, each with an extra shot. The menu in front of us said $8 for a bloody. Fast forward to the bill and each bloody came out to $21/piece. Asked waitress to clarify, she said that she forgot to tell us that the prices on the menu are wrong. No offer to make it right. Place is a joke! I would (and will) go to literally any of the numerous other options right in this area.

Definitely not a place to sit and drink early on (before the crowd/happy hour, whatever). Likely not after that either, but I’ll never know. Upon closing my tab because of a shift change, I was charged extra for something I didn’t drink; and here… I thought it was I that was doing the drinking. Either way: it’s what you can expect from a place like this. An unkept bar with its almost painful smell of simultaneously spilled beer and vomit after you’ve crossed its threshold inward. Lucky for the house I don’t mind the two when I mostly just wanted to get something done, required a drink and was tired of walking. I should have tipped less, but I know it’s hard in this economy; but also, learn to DO better bc the next person might not be so forgiving.

When my wife and I lived in Chicago, we would come here every buckeye game and trivia night. We unfortunately moved out of state but that didn’t stop us. Every year we travel from all over the country to see the OSU v ❌ichigan game. It’s always a fantastic time full of buckeyes. This year, traveling from Texas, we came to see our buckeyes at our favorite bar. We arrived early but were surprised that it wasn’t as busy as usual. We were greeted at the door asking if we have tickets. (We still receive newsletters and marketing emails but didn’t see anything about tickets). There is plenty of standing room but we were told to kick rocks because we don’t have tickets (no waitlist? Too late to buy tickets?). We travelled from Texas to be here, at our favorite bar. This year unfortunately ends th
