If you want good beer and equally good food this is the place to go. Fish and Chips joint with an very acceptable selection of brews. Don’t expect to find a case of odd Lambics on hand, but expect many suitale beers for the menu. Again, if you want good beer and food in Columbus, go here, not Barleys or The Elevator.

This is one of a few places I will take a visitor to Columbus when I have the chance. Located in Old Worthington, finding parking can be pretty dicey if you go at peak hours. There is street parking but you may have to walk a bit. It is worth it.
This location is very tiny, the pub is nestled between small shops. They have &quo;patio seating&quo;, meaning 4 plastic tables on the sidewalk. Inside, it is very cozy but that contributes a lot to the charm. Lots of breweriana adorns the walls (I especially like the walls lined with old beer cans behind glass). The bar is small but it maintains the whole English Pub look and feel. Many places spend lots of money attaining that atmosphere but Old Bag pulls it off without even trying.
The beer selection is very good given the lack of space. The bottled selection leans toward English beers (Sam Smith, Fuller’s etc). The draught selection is in constant flux, but you can always get something from GLBC, Leinenkugel’s, or an Arrogant Bastard. This is the only place I know of that has Old Rasputin on draught which is great.
The staff is knowledgeable and courteous and I have never had a problem with the speed of service or with beer knowledge.
Now, the food. If you go here and don’t get the Fish & Chips you should be ashamed. It is unbelievably good (and BIG!). The Patty Melt is great too.
