Great place, awesome vibes, music, games, staff, drinks
This bar is more than just a bar; it is a community. The bartender, Jacob, and sound guy Johnny looked after my friends and I when a total creep was a-creepin’ on us. They allowed us to walk out the back to ensure that the man hadn’t spiked our drinks and even banned that man from the bar. Every time I have been to Half Baked I have felt such a strong sense of community. This is more than just a bar—it is a family. And I will continue to be a patron of Half Baked for as long as I live in Columbus. Thank you for the wonderful, safe space that you provide for this neighborhood!
Great place with extremely friendly staff and one-of-a-kind vibes. Highly recommend everyone in Columbus checks out the place at least once! Ask for Gage, he’s a doll.
Such a neat little bar. The vibes were great and the bartender (I didn't catch her name) but she was so friendly and hard working. The drinks were yummy and reasonably priced. I would return again.
We were passing by here on a Friday evening after grabbing a bite to eat next door. It was our first time in here. The vibe and music was chill. We had a few drinks that were on point. A live band was setting up but we had somewhere else to be. I highly recommend this place for a nice chill spot. We didn't get a chance to try the food though.
I’ve got to admit, HALF BAKED is incontrovertibly CRACKED . The interior graffiti of a New York bodega \ subway and classic Dave Chappell film playing was very attractive to me. I ordered a cherry bomb , lemon drop and a ginger beer as well. The drink menu is unique. Server was friendly and very helpful. Can’t wait to visit again!
I’ve become a regular at Half Baked for the last year and it really is a special place. This has become my sanctuary when I am scared, or lonely, or just need a friend to speak to. The people I’ve met have really opened my eyes to the fact that we have an incredibly kind and loving community here. I feel safe and heard and the staff really puts in the effort to make you feel that way. Half Baked is also an incredible place to see and be exposed to hidden talent within the Columbus music and arts scene. Half Baked values community, the expression of art and being you. I’ve seen through personal experience the lengths they go to prop up small time artists and musicians while also making it an affordable third space to build community. And also they have some of the best music to listen to in town. Nothing generic or boring about this place! I highly recommend stopping in for an on draft THC and just talking with the people who work there. You won’t be disappointed
This has become like a second home to me in just the few months I've been going. All the staff are incredibly fun and sweet. Half Baked alone is a reason to live in Ohio. I've never had a bad time here
