Knotty Pine Brewing - Columbus

Splendid dinner experience on Sunday. Atmosphere is joyful and wooden appeal is significant, while the booth seating is inviting. The entree choice was the meatball marinara sub sandwich. I was gifted by an ample portion of tender beef, which was generously covered in sumptuous marinara (tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic and oregano), and mozzarella cheese. Complimenting the entree was a nice 10 oz, 10% ABV Lock 27 Alpheus, which is a roasty Russian imperial stout. A joy to sip along with the marinara sub.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The food and service are very good. I like when they switch up the menu. There is a bartender who works a lot who is so friendly. Idk his name, but he's so genuinely nice. He seems he might be the head bartender. The only issue is the atmosphere can be overwhelming sometimes. The music can be really loud and an unpleasant genre, the lighting can be offputting, and some of the regulars just like to be loud and kinda act like they run the place. There is a light in the northeast corner of the restaurant that glares right in your eyes if you sit on the east side of the bar. I really wish they'd point that light elsewhere and eventually upgrade their lights to something softer and more modern.

The bar staff are very friendly. It's a nice atmosphere to come hang out in

Knotty Pine often flies under the radar when it comes to Google searches for restaurants in Grandview. However, my son and I recently had the best burgers we've had in years during our visit a few weeks ago. The food consistently impresses!

I usually don’t write reviews, but I feel like sharing during the holiday season. We didn’t have a reservation, but they managed to seat us in a reasonable time. The food was delicious! We started with the mushroom pizza and wings as appetizers. For our main dishes, everyone enjoyed their choices, including the French dip, brisket sandwich, salmon salad, and a few others I can’t recall. Despite being busy that night, our server was friendly and made a point to check on us several times. The place has a nice neighborhood vibe. I definitely recommend stopping by to try it out!
