Eight and Sand Tavern & Refuge

One of the greatest local bars in town. Great food, expedient staff, and great atmosphere.

This is probably the best bar in Columbus and may serve the best wings too. Please don't come here.

Fabulous bar in south cbus. Food was exceptional and pretty good craft beer selection. We had banh mi with Mac n cheese and railyard chicken with loaded fries. Def worth a visit. Feb 2024 update-still serving exceptional food and great service. Tonight we had shrimp and grits, brined and confit’d wings, shared the house salad plus beer. Ate for under $50. It was $1 wing night. But still this place is great.

Hidden gem, great atmosphere, and great food!

Unpretentious. Great food. Exceptional & friendly bartenders. *Everyone* is welcome. Regular clientele. Good music. Cozy. Relaxing atmosphere. Addictive. Not at all the typical bar. Go once and you'll go back.
