New List: Best Pub Burgers in Columbus
Seven tavern kitchens ranked on the patty, the build and the bar around it, with 101 Craft Kitchen on top. Status: Live on site.
Our newest ranking is for anyone who orders a burger at the bar and a pint with it: Best Pub Burgers in Columbus, Ohio. It covers seven kitchens where the burger is cooked in a tavern or pub, and each one had to show a signature build with real detail on its own current menu.
Best Overall goes to 101 Craft Kitchen. The restaurant was called 101 Beer Kitchen until last year, and its 101 Burger is on the menu at all three Columbus-area rooms, on Sawmill Road in Dublin, in Gahanna's Stoneridge Plaza and on Polaris Parkway in Westerville, so the place page lists every address. Beyond the top spot, the picks range from Ringside Cafe, the 1897 alley tavern Downtown with burgers named for boxers, to the cheap fried egg Press Burger on High Street.
The Short North gets two spots, and Polaris gets two taverns, Atlas on Lyra Drive and Keystone on Gemini Place. Gallo's Tap Room on Olentangy River Road rounds it out with a steak-seasoned patty. Prices on the list range from about $10 on Arch City Tavern's Monday special to a $32 double at Ringside, so the cards note when to go as well as what to order.
Three of these kitchens also appear on our bone-in wings list, in case the table wants both. Our Dublin page has more around the top pick. Menus and prices were checked on October 23, when the list was built, so confirm specials before you go.
