Why Barley's Brewing Company why was this picked

Barley's says it has brewed on High Street since 1992, which makes it the oldest operating brewpub in Columbus, and longtime brewer Angelo Signorino makes every house beer in the basement brewhouse. The current menu lists a Pierogi Platter of cheddar pierogis with sauteed onions for $18 and a two-piece pierogi side for $5. Ale House #1 sits at 467 N High St, steps from Nationwide Arena and the Convention Center. Start with the Pale Ale, the first beer the pub ever brewed.

Know before you go

Barley's Brewing Company Ale House #1 anchors Arena District High Street across from the Greater Columbus Convention Center with house beer and pierogi plates that still share the menu. It is second on our best pierogies list for the Pierogi and Sausage Platter and fried pierogi options. Do not confuse this address with the former Smokehouse on Dublin Road.

Cheddar and potato pierogi with kielbasa, bratwurst, brown butter, and sour cream keep the plate hearty before a show or convention block. Confirm the phone at (614) 228-2537 on the official contact page if directories disagree.
