Old Bag of Nails

The Bag is a great place to meet up with friends, have a drink or two and hang out for a bit. The food is good, but not stellar, and the prices are very reasonable. The wait staff are funny...we go to the one on Hard Road...and they alternate between really good service and "I'm having a bad night, here's your food, flag me down if you need anything" which is honest at least...but not something you want to say to some of my neighbors after a few drinks if you want a hassle-free night, LOL! The appetizers are good, the fish and chips is perfect, and the sandwiches are quite large. Ask for the little potato pancakes instead of fries, we love 'em. The dessert selection is non-existent...I'm not a huge fan of bread pudding or deep fried snicker's bars, so I'll go home to my own homemade cookies after a night at the Bag. All in all, it is a nice joint to meet friends and to linger over a beer or an iced tea with a staff that is relaxed enough to not hustle you out. The food is good, the management is excellent...they've dealt with our issues in a very satisfying way, and the clientèle goes there again and again. more

What a great fish sandwich. I mean it’s huge, it is more then two hands it is knife and fork quality. I also enjoy their turkey Reuben made with turkey, Swiss, Russian dressing and coleslaw, though watch out for the slightly moist bread and the cole slaw is juicy. A visit to the place would not be complete without some “oh so tasty” fried pickles. I know they are hot and I should wait for them to cool, but I can’t and always burn my mouth only to cool it with a pear cider from the bar. Good place to hang out with quality bar type food. more

We go to the Old bag of nails in Grandview on a fairly regular basis and the food is pretty good. It is occasionally hit or miss and the service isn’t always spectacular but it is never bad. I have tried about half of the things on the menu but what makes you come back is the fish and chips. I haven’t had a better fish and chips anywhere in Columbus (and can’t think of a better one outside of Columbus for that matter either). The prices are what you would expect and its definitely the place to go for a Friday fish fry. more
