Why Elevator Brewing why was this picked
Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus on North High Street brings out its Rock Filet, a hand-trimmed 6-ounce choice beef tenderloin, raw with a tulikivi firestone so you cook it at your table, with dipping sauces, a petite salad and a side for $45. A Rock Surf and Turf pairs a 4-ounce filet with shrimp for $46. The building went up in 1897 for the Bott family, and the room keeps a hand-carved Philippine mahogany bar, mosaic tile floors and stained glass. Beer and draft cocktails are made in house.

Know before you go
We order the rock filet at Elevator Brewing when steak night needs a downtown High Street room with on-site beer. The cut eats like a real steak plate, not a pub afterthought, and the 1890s space keeps the evening distinct from a chain steakhouse. Dinner for two with drinks usually sits in the $$$ range for a pre-show or weekend night.
Hours run Monday 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday until 9:30 p.m., and Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.; confirm Sunday before you go. Reservations are available online, and parties of twelve or more should use the group form. Park on the street or in nearby Downtown garages. Cross-check it against our best steaks in Columbus ranking if you are still choosing a cut.
