Keystone Pub

Dumb cheap drinks…
No sense made. I’m talking starting at $ 3.50…
They have all types of flavors & styles of drinks to choose from. Many tv’s to watch sports on, which is always a plus. Bartender was efficient & friendly.
The bar is busy, even on a Sunday night. That’s how you know the place is good.
I enjoyed. Will definitely be back.

Keystone Pub was a recent stop of mine. The location was surprising to me, mostly due to I seldom frequent the Polaris area so finding my way through the parking lot was new. Once I was oriented and got inside things were okay. I enjoyed speaking to the friendly server who chatted me up but took nothing away from other tables (I think she was on her own). No live music so I can’t comment on that side of Keystone Pub. What I did was have the 3-​Slider meal and some chips. The lil’ beefy burgers were good; hot and with good flavor. I didn’t wait long for food. Overall, I wasn’t too excited about the layout; it seemed long and had seen some wear and tear from patrons. Maybe live music makes the place lively. I was there on a weeknight and it was 5 — 6 tables of folks and that was it. Pool table (not in use), a patio and a long bar. I’ll have to give it another try, maybe when there is some live music. Keystone Pub food was good — so A-​OKAY!

Keystone has been one of my favorite spots to hang out since I moved to the Polaris area a few years back. The staff has always been very friendly and even when it’s busy, they’ve always done their best to accommodate me and my friends.
Music is almost always playing on the jukebox so there’s always something to listen to in the background. The only times this will be off is during a game, which is cool with all of the large screen TVs around the establishment, and when there is a live band playing. Most of the bands have been entertaining (shout out to Scott Paris!) and they’re especially fun to watch during the warmer months on the main patio.
The patio is one of the largest in the area and has a second full service bar. When it starts to get chilly out, the fire pit will be going so that you can still hang out outside when the temperature drops.
Inside there is also a pool table and skee ball, so there are some other things to do to pass your time.
As far as the menu goes, I would say that it’s pretty solid for serving bar food. There is something on the for everybody and the portions are large enough. They also update the menu once or twice a year, so there’s always something new to look forward to.
All in all, Keystone is a solid place to go grab a few after work or to hang out with your friends on the weekend. I’ll continue to visit for as long as I’m living in the area!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. There are 2 tables & the patio, and the waitress has been to the other table 3 times in the past hour. Zero table touches at my table. I finally called across the patio for service, and she said she had to take care of the other table. She eventually came over to tell my friends that she couldn’t help us because we had a tab open at the bar inside. I don’t understand how that could make a difference. Horrible service. Customers come first. I had to go inside & order drinks finally. Isn’t this the service industry???

Stopped by after a movie tonight, as we enjoy live music, and could see it on the patio area, thought we would grab dinner here. Came in, wasnt sure if seat ourselves, or wait. Someone that was bringing food outside to the patio walked by, I got his attention and asked him «do we seat ourselves», to which he replied «sure», then kept going. Went out to the patio where the music was, sat down. A few minutes later, a female came over, asked if we wanted anything to drink, to which I replied water for now. She walked away in disapointment, assuming because we didnt order a bar drink at that time… no offer of menus or anything. We waited, saw she was tending to another table, doing other stuff, cleaning off other tables… no water for us, which in turn meant no menus to order food, no beer to sit and relax and enjoy the music… just the attitude that we got when we ordered the «water for now», and the assumption that we just came to sit and drink water and watch the music. Left, seeing that no service was going to be available to us, and went over to quaker steak. They seemed to appreciate our business a little more.

Not impressed with this poorly managed establishment. I come here only because it’s conveniently located within walking distance to my friends apartment whom both are regulars at this bar for any sporting event. Because of this I know whom the GM is. She has NEVER been particularly friendly but last weekend I was appalled by her behavior. Having a few drinks in your own bar is one thing but to be completely hammered is another. I ordered a pizza for myself and she starts eating it without so much as asking, then she stumbles pouring my beverage all over it… instead of apologizing profusely or making up for it by telling her staff to make another pizza or get me another beverage on the house she proceeds to eat the last piece that didn’t have alcohol poured on it. This is completely unacceptable.

The WORST service I’ve ever experienced in my life!!! I’d NEVER spend my hard earned money there again! Waitress and service was horrible. Was served raw chicken sliders and when asked to speak to the manager, was told she was a busy at the bar working and she refused to come and address the issue. Said she was busy. What restaurant ‘manager’ does that?! I was disgusted by the poor customer service from the waitress who rolled her eyes and gave much attitude and the so called manager who did not do anything to make a bad situation right!

We normally have a good experience. Tonight was the exception. Elizabeth was our server and she needs to readjust her focus.
It was busy when we first got there. Then everyone left. She then started cleaning tables. We ate our dinner with nothing to drink. She had no concern about us or if we needed anything.
The kitchen was also out of bone in wings. I’m not sure what the deal was tonight, but it’ll be a long time if we go back, if ever.

A pretty average bar to be honest. I’m not sure exactly how I ended up at Keystone Pub in Polaris on a Saturday night, but I did.
Nothing in particular stands out about the bar. There’s a pool table, so yay for that. There are also plenty of TVs to watch your favorite game on. Average draft beer list. No ciders on tap, but they do have 4 – 5 different types in bottle/​can form.
What made the difference that night was the live music. Ignoring the fact that they made lewd finger gestures at the crowd, the 2-​man band was decent. They played 90s favorites such as Sublime, Weezer and also performed a series of Usher covers that was particularly entertaining.
So maybe if you live in Polaris and are interested in live music, Keystone Pub may be worth checking out. Otherwise, just another bar.

Keystone Pub is MY SPOT! Especially in the spring/​summer/​fall. Their patio is amazing with an outside bar and they add to that atmosphere by featuring live bands to come out and play. I have never had a bad experience at Keystone. The food, environment, and service is always fantastic. I think my favorite part about the pub is the location. There is plenty of parking and there is a movie theater connected to the pub so it makes for a PERFECT date night location.

FOOD is good. SERVICE every time which had been a total of 5 times visited… Rude!
I don’t know about everyone else… but if you want a good tip, being polite to your guests is A GREAT START!
I’ll pick Roosters over them any day!

LOVE this bar! My husband and I stopped in here before a movie (we finally had a date day!!) and I was so surprised… in a good way!
We ordered food, and it was fantastic. Our drinks were great. We received wonderful service by the bartenders. I love the fact you can sit outside or go inside and play pool if you like.
This is a great place to hang out!

Nice place to stop in after work for happy hour. Also nice to stop by before or after a movie which is right next door.
They have about 7 beers on tap and many more options in bottles.

They have since messaged me telling me I should get an Ohio ID if I want to come in. Funny enough I even called ahead to tell them I was back in town and wanted to watch a hockey game with a large group. The lady I spoke with told me the manager had told them about my original Unilocal review (she had no idea I was the one who made the first review). This place clearly does not want business seeing that I even called ahead to tell them and I guess I will never get to go to Keystone. I’ve never heard of a business that doesn’t want to make money until now.

My friend who is from Texas was visiting me last weekend has a vertical ID. I saw this review and wanted to call to confirm. We are both over the legal drinking age and both have many forms of Identification but they would not allow my friend to come in at all.
My friend and I are both 23, along with all our friends who won’t be drinking at keystone.

It’s a sports bar. I had a $ 2 beer during happy hour with coworkers. Nothing special.

Nice little bar in a strip mall behind Polaris. The wait staff has been good the few times I’ve been there. The hot wings are actually hot. Hot enough to make me sweat a little.
Chris Logsdon plays there on Thursday evenings. If you are not familiar with Chris, you should be, he is a Columbus tradition. Acoustic guitar and all the popular songs you love to sing a long with from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
The place gets crowded after work on a Friday. There are a lot of Chase people in the area, so most places are packed after work on a Friday.

Food was ok. Size of the place is small unless its warm outside and they open up the patio. Located right next to a movie theater but parking is easy. Great beer deals. A great place to stop in and watch football from the bar area.

The Stone has been me and my bro’s place to do weekly lunch at for the past year. I decided to hit them up for some lunch today and a lil March Madness sans my brother. The place was quickly filling up for lunch and I was glad to score a seat at the bar.
As usual I was quickly greeted and scored my drink and my Buzztime trivia box and was ready for some good eats. I gave the Nathans Slawdog a try, a big ol’ beefy Nathans on a pretzle roll with plenty of tasty coleslaw, a big heaping mound of steak fries and a dill pickle spear. It was so messy but, oh so good and even with the lunchtime/​madness crowd I got my order in less than 10 mins, SCORE!
With the good weather here early the patio is open now but offically opens this St. Pat’s weekend and is a great place to score someting cold to drink before or after a moobie at the Rave. The ladies behind the bar here do a great job of making everyone feel welcome and pretty darn good pub grub.

Nothing special — it’s a bar next to the theatre. A mix of the older crowd in a dark room, where they all get drunk and left me be to witness. The food is nothing special, the beers are limited (and mostly domestic).
Not a bad joint, just not a place that screams «you want to be here.»
