Besides the driving, icy windshields, frozen noses, and treacherous sidewalks, there is really nothing to fear about Ohio winters! You make excuse after excuse to stay in, but we’re here to encourage you to go out.
Lift a pint to ole Jack Frost and visit these lovely watering holes that offer rustic and warm outdoor drinking experiences.
Ill-Mannered Brewing Company | 38 Grace Dr., Powell
Beer offering MVP: Zach Morris
This is a special bar because it all started from home brewing, and has slowly risen into a nano-brewery. This year they recently moved into their new space with an awesome patio and firepit to enjoy their ever-changing and evolving brews.

BrewDog Franklinton | 463 W Town St.
Beer offering MVP: The Punk
Columbus was the first outpost of this insanely popular U.K. brewery, and the gifts keep coming with their expansion, including a brew-tel! Enjoy the deliciously inventive craft brews and pub food, and if you visit the patio pit, you can even bring your furry friend along.
Land-Grant Brewing Company | 424 W Town St.
Beer offering MVP: Stiff-Arm
When you drink from Land Grant, you get so much: an amazing series of craft beers, two firepits, Ray-Ray’s food, but most importantly, you get a sense of community. Land Grant is all about “beer for good,” and is committed to sustainability and giving back to the community.
Pins Mechanical Company | 6558 Riverside Dr.
Specialty drink MVP: Chai Striker
There is a phenomenon of adulting like a kid going on here, and it is a lot of fun to be a part of. Not only can you have a campfire-like experience with a kick-ass specialty drink, but you can go duckpin bowling, play bocce ball, ping pong, foosball or even revisit an arcade game you might have played in the 80s.
