Law Bird

Law Bird is hands down my favorite cocktail bar in Columbus. Their current Scandinavian menu is so fresh and creative—every drink feels like a little work of art but still super approachable. I love how the themes always change (the cherry blossom pop-up and Galactic Disco were unforgettable!) so every visit feels new and fun. The cocktails are spot-on, the vibe is amazing, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Honestly, this place never misses. No surprise they’re Top 10 in the country!

We've attended quite a few of the Law Bird Classes, including a Mezcal class, Building a cocktail and a menu classes, the cocktails of London... It's always a great time; Luke and Annie are full of great anecdotes and ideas, the cocktails are spectacular, and we always walk away knowing quite a bit more about the topic than when we went in! Super cool vibe, knowledgeable staff, people who care about the experience as much as they care about the drinks. Absolutely worth stopping in! (Reservations are recommended , but not required, on weekends.) I'm very much looking forward to the Sherry class next month!

Law Bird has the most creative cocktail menu in the city IMO. We love to go in when there’s a menu change. The bar snacks are good. The bar is super cool but the tables are kind of meh- it’s a very tiny place, feels crammed and not comfortable.

Hands down the best bar in Columbus. I highly recommend law bird for any occasion. The menu rotates every so often, which allows for a variety of options throughout the year. And the food/snacks are always an added bonus. Law Bird has also started a class series where you learn some history, tasting notes, and get some take home cocktail tips. We’ve attended as many classes as we can and look forward to new events. On top of everything else, the staff are amazing. They welcome each person that walks in and will do their best to create the best experience. We love this bar and the people that work there, thank you Annie and Luke for all that you do.

This is my favorite cocktail bar in Columbus!!! They have amazing, unique but well-priced drinks, the bartenders and servers are super nice and friendly, and the vibes and atmosphere are hard to top. The menu rotates seasonally with some drinks that always stay, and I love trying them all! The snacks are great too, especially on Wednesday night which is hot dog night!

What better time to finally try Law Bird than during their Sakura City Pop where they introduce some newer Japanese-inspired cocktails and food. Had fun trying four cocktails and three bar food. All great and the place definitely lives up to their highly rated reputation.

Law Bird makes the best cocktails. They’re so creative and the servers will kindly help you find something you like and explain the ingredients. I’ve been here twice and was blown away by everything I tried. The servers are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere of the place is so fun. It’s a true gem in Columbus.

Been going here a few years. While they are pricey, the service has always been top tier along with the drinks. In my photos, you can see the accomodations for non-alcoholic drinks for which there are plenty. Lawbird offers a lot ib the way of not boring, not alcoholic drinks which I highly appreciate. If you're thirsty get a glass of water - the drinks are expensive and well thought-out. Right now they have a tiki thing going on which is kind of cool, but I hope they lean into Christmas a little more with their creativity and really push the bar - think figgy pudding, the lamp from a Christmas story, etc. The nog drink is amazing and I highly recommend for those that can drink egg and lactose. Picture dim atmosohere, pink electric lights, Vicy City, new wave and miscellany playing. Very creative, good service, high quality, but at a price.

This was our first time in and we attended one of their cocktail classes. This is a tasting series they do a few times a month, each with a different theme. We attended the Japanese Spirits/Cocktails. The owners run the class and lead you through the tasting experience as well as teaching you about the history and flavors. You get 3 half cocktails during the experience, all were fantastic. They also have some light snacks, which we really enjoyed the variety of Japanese snacks! I highly recommend taking a cocktail/spirit tasting at Lawbird. Annie and Luke really make the experience amazing! We can't wait to come back for another! You also get a packet of information highlighting what you learned in class as well as a "build your own bar" list to help you recreate the cocktails at home!

The best servers!! We stopped in randomly and it happened to be one of the final nights of the sakura pop up. We had so much fun chatting with our server and hearing about all the other pop ups and his fav stuff about the place. Even got to keep some of the menus bc they had cool artwork on it! I got the Dolphin In Town from the pop-up menu and everything we got was beautifully served and yummy‍ Defo recommend!

We came for drinks. I got thugs passion " a spritz tupac would fuck with" and honestly it was terrible and I don't think for any amount of minutes Tupac would ever drink that. However, the server was sweet and attentive and the pickles were soooo good. I wish it was all dilly beans, such is life.

This is one place that attracts people to GV besides the history and the requisite visit to the Book Loft among other places. It's definitely the place that makes you feel cool and hip for having attended it and feeling a little superior when people haven't heard or know but haven't the chance to go. Lawbird offers regular seating, bar seats, and even seats by the counter. I don't know if strictly allowed, but a couple times I've brought food from the food trucks at Antiques on High and eaten here while having a cocktail. Lawbird does offer small plates, and they're pretty good. I've had the pickled veggies and the feta/hummus and pita. I've not tried the hot dogs (would have to be the vegetarian option. I'm glad I got to take my partner here on my birthday. Was a good way to end the night.

Advertised as wine and snacks but it is so much more and so much better than imagined. This place has a nice quaint almost tiki feel to it but not wanting to be boxed in it also gives nice laidback vibes as well. The staff are casual but helpful and though it was busy when we arrived we were served everything pretty briskly. The food menu is not your typical bar food and it intrigues for sure but the flavor matches the intrigue we were well satisfied. Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Go wild with the drinks. Now I'm not talking quantity here but rather quality. Some drinks on the menu may add ingredients that you are not used to or are even unsure go together. But trust the staff to steer you right and go wild and experiment. The drink concoctions they put together will make you happy tried something new. 2) Get dessert. Here they serve up dole whip which by itself is incredibly tasty but add in some alcohol and you have a dessert fit for an adult. Don't leave with out trying it with some of the flavor combinations they recommend. Try this place on your next night out or even as an after work wind down spot. And guarantee yourself a good time.

Okay food? 5/5. Incredible. Delicious. Worth the price. The drinks? Maybe I've had bad luck, but I haven't liked any of the mixed drinks I've tried (which is pretty unusual). Maybe I've just ordered some weird ones, or have a specific palette, but they're not my jam.

Walking into this place you're immediately hit with the aura of high end cocktails. The Return of the Mack is a top tier old fashion with a savory twist. On the pricey side but you won't leave disappointed with your drinks as they specialize in multi-ingredient cocktails.

Cocktails were amazing, and they have a huge cocktail menu with all types of variety. Typical cocktail prices in my opinion for really well-made drinks. Definitely going again!

got the "imperial cereal killer". I don't often drink, so I don't exactly have a pallet for hard liquor. I normally think it's gross. however/ this cocktail was done right. it was delicious, and i could drink 10 of them EASILY. I went at 7:30 on Sunday, January 28th. These bartenders are skilled! I was helped by Yana and Pj this evening, who were very down to earth, quick, and helpful.

I've been here a few times now love it so much we bought a house essentially next door. Joking... kinda. This place is awesome. Great cocktails and wine options (first time trying orange wine), and the food here is incredible and at a good value too. Harvey was our server each time we were here and he is great. Some highlights from our visits here... mini martini for just $5 (be prepared to order two -- so good), bougie hot dog nights on wednesdays, the best waffle fry dish I've ever had (though it's sadly no longer on the menu), and rad bathroom art. The menus rotate often which keeps it fresh and interesting but then you have to remember to not get too married to what you like. But the staples like the mini martini and solid wine pours are always around. This is a must-visit cocktail bar if you're in columbus.

I've wanted to come here for the longest time so it's no surprise I made in the first week upon my return from deployment. I love the interior. The vibe is warm and sleek. Because it is a cocktail bar, I tried the Japanese Medicine cocktail. It was fine. I tried my friends fall cocktail and it was definitely the superior one. Because I am a bourbon girl, I also had an Angels Envy. Their bourbon selection was bleak but the experience was still good because of their fantastic staff. This isn't a place that will become a regular spot for me but it is definitely worth a visit!

Came here for happy hour and it was so great! We had a few drinks - mojito, naked and famous, old fashion and one trick pony. All of them were fantastic! The flaming pimento was also so yummy!

Law bird is exactly the experience I want to have at a cocktail bar. Great service, cool decor, and thoughtfully crafted and tasty drinks. We are new parents so having an adults-only night has been hard to come by! We spent the first half of one of our first nights out at parents here, and I am so glad we did. We made it at the tail end of "snack time" their version of happy hour (4-6pm) and there were only a few available seats when we arrived around 530. We opted to sit at the bar, knowing we'd just have a couple drinks before dinner. The snack time menu was a selection of cocktails under $10 and some appetizers. We had the loaded fries and they were excellent. The food is innovative and fun just like the drinks. If you miss snack time they always have $5 mini martinis! I can't wait to return again.

I wish I tried this place sooner! Cool vibes and drinks and a Good location in German Village. The menus seem to change for the season plus they have rotating specials. This week was hot toddy week for $5! I tried the granddad toddy and it was almost perfect! Just wish it had been a little warmer and in a real cup. Very tasty though. I couldn't pass up trying the $5 mini martini either. It was cute but a little strong for me. Not something I would order again but I'm not a strong cocktail drinker. Lastly, I got a glass of rosé . I wish there were more options for wine by the glass. The rosé was very good though and came in a nice wine glass. The food menu I found to be difficult to decipher honestly. The ingredients were just very out of my realm of knowledge and I found it difficult to settle on anything. I wish they had a more snack friendly option or two that was less fancy. We settled on the chicharrones which is basically just pork rinds with a sauce. I was VERY underwhelmed by this dish, but it fit the bill of a crunchy snack to fill my belly along with all the alcohol. Definitely will be back for some wine or cocktails and to try another snack. I hear they have good hot dogs too.

Went to law bird for the first time last week with a group of friends. We've been in the area many times before but have never tried this place. The interior is very modern and classy. It's not a huge space but has many tables and a bar area. Probably not the best for large groups of 8-10+ like we had, but we were still able to make it work. They have some nice happy hour deals for food and drinks which we took advantage of. I ordered a margarita and my girlfriend got a pisco sour. Both were quite good and all of our friends enjoyed their drinks as well. The wait staff did a great job despite our group being so large and they even accommodated everyone doing separate checks. Will definitely be back here in the future!

Amazing cocktails with a nice relaxed vibe! My girlfriend and I try to go here as often as possible (once or twice a month). Their current menu is eclectic and has no rhyme or reason. And if they are not in your wheelhouse, the classic cocktails are one of the best I have had in Columbus. Only once have I not liked my drink, and that was due to personal preferences (and I was warned, ppl either hate it or love it). The mixologists are very knowledgeable you can trust them with your drinks. Don't expect a quick service as most of the drinks are made fresh and that takes time. But it's always worth it!

I came here on a Saturday night. It was packed, but I only waited for about 10 minutes, and there were a couple of bar seats opened up.I really liked the store vibes~ the staff were very friendly as well~ my husband and I got a couple of drinks and bar snacks. Unfortunately they ran out of the charcuterie board and burrata, and their fryer was broken so they didn't have the waffle fries on the menu either. We will come back again to check out other drinks/food~

I've had my eye on this place for a bit and I'm very glad I finally got to visit! Fun cocktail bar with a funky vibe. Waitstaff was welcoming and attentive. We went on a Wednesday, which apparently is gourmet hot dog night. Fun concept. Loved the Strawberry Fields dog, but we weren't a fan of the Wagyu dog which was the most expensive. The balsamic tasted a bit off and I'm not sure the toppings and condiments really went together. That could be personal preference, though. We ordered the burrata, as well and that was the real show stopper. Mozzarella was perfectly fresh and delicious. Loved everything about it. It did say on the menu that it came with toast which we didn't receive? I thought their apps seemed a little overpriced, but that's not my area of expertise. Just worth noting. Overall, I thought this was a fun spot, and I would definitely go back!

Head here for hot dog night. Atmosphere & service are amazing. Great wine selections & appetizers.

Since opening back up as a bar again, Law Bird has been PACKED, and good for them! Friendly service, fun poppy atmosphere, and always someone laughing at the bar. The drinks remain from their popup shop menu during the height of COVID, occasionally with some new ones. Primarily tropical notes in their beverages, FYI, but certainly not all tiki. The theme of throwing wild ingredients together into a concoction that turns out quite tasty is a recurring theme throughout their bevvies and their food. The full bar now offers a rotating menu of small bites and shareables. Two favorites of mine are their waffle fries with truffle honey and Brie and their French toast topped with a wild concoction of things, including blackberries, whipped cream, Nutella, and (I believe) honey and cinnamon. Delish. The menu is full of different choices that cater to a wide variety of palates, and I commend the chefs for their inventiveness. I don't know if the alchemy always works, and sometimes can be too much going on at once, but that sort of goes along with their slogan: Not Governed By Reason. Of course, what pleases one palate may not please another and vice versa, which actually works in their favor. I look forward to seeing what else they create, in libations and in plates!

Law Bird was an incredible bar before COVID, but they really stepped up to offer a quality take out experience. Annie and the Law Bird team are very passionate about their work and share their love of good drinks, snacks, and company with customers. They have a cooler with fresh cocktails in single and double sizes. Grab a few to stock your fridge and check out the wines and snacks in their curated 'bodega.' Pro tip: order Boxwood Biscuits from their kitchen and pick up some cocktails. Perfect combo. I am looking forward to continuing supporting Law Bird through the pandemic to sit at that bar again.

I really enjoyed my visit in here the other day. We came late afternoon on a Saturday. It was poppin' but we were thankfully able to find a two top table in the back. The sunlight really livened the place. Its windows face west so it was very bright although slightly blinding. The decor and decoration was comfy and chic. Their menu is extensive. They serve cocktails, wine, sherry, sake, and even small plates and larger plates. We only got beverages this time around. Both were very good. The beverage descriptions are fun and playful. We kept our order at one drink a piece because them puppies were expensive. My fiancé's was $14. Mine was $11. Tasty but expensive. I would love to come back. I don't believe they have a happy hour but they do seem to have some constant deals going on (bottom of menu shot). Fingers crossed they incorporate some kind of happy hour. I'd love to try more of their cocktails!

They turned the bar into a store during the Pandemic. Current hours are Wed-Fri 4-9pm. Sat 11-3. The have cocktails, wines, sake, and more available for purchase in a convenience store set up. They are also selling snacks to pair with your drinks. There are tons of options. You can order online or stop by. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They are masked and sanitizing. You can browse the store with social distancing. Highly recommend stopping by. Their offerings are unique, it's not stuff you'll find in just any liquor store.

Cute little wine bar on Grandview Ave, very peaceful and chill atmosphere perfect to get away from bigger crowded areas, they could use more business, stop by and have a drink, friendly staff. Who doesn't love music off a record player? Great selection of wine (: could use comfier seats.

Fun little place with a good snack / grazing selection and good service. Fave drink is the apricot Rickey on the snack time menu. Booze / wine selection could benefit from a few upgrades like grey goose, glenmorangie, or even something like Kim Crawford sauv blanc for some mainstays. Eccentric crowd on the weekends but as they say, not governed by reason.

The food is out of this world and the cocktails are on point. We tried multiple dishes - the dishes ones shown below and their rotating pasta dish. We were so impressed with the quality of food/cocktails. They were very busy when we were in but the bartender was still able to crank out drinks fairly quickly. I do think if he had a bit of extra help he might be able to mingle more - but I also recognize that's not always cost effective :)

The ambiance was intimate. It's a great place to bring a date. The drinks were measured and poured in tiny glasses but the prices were reasonable. I recommend.

My friends and I were excited to try Law Bird and give them our business and money with a party of 8. We were told that we couldn't push any tables together to accommodate our group, so we said that was OK and we just wanted to sit in the same area and wouldn't move the tables. We were told that was also unacceptable as the area was meant for table of 2 or "couples" and didn't want us taking up the space. There was a larger party sitting close to the window so not sure what the big deal was. I have never had such an experience and will tell everyone not to give this place any business! We went across the street to Local Cantina and they were more than happy to accommodate us.

I was eager to visit this spot, it's been on the radar for quite some time. Swung by this evening with a friend. Sat at the bar, very cozy place, good atmosphere. We got served quickly, staff was kind, the downside was the cocktails were mediocre. We ordered the "Casablanca Rose" (a spiced Paloma) and the fall old fashioned. The menu read very complex, as if these were going to be out of this world flavors and for the pricing being as high as it was, they just didn't deliver. I'll definitely give it another run in the future, it just won't be top of the list.

Pretty good for what it is meant to be. Don't expect more. I only came to meet up with some other friends who were here, because I'm not someone who ever goes somewhere without a big beer list and good food. This place however is focused on cocktails, wine, and snack-y food. So I'll review it with that consideration. The cocktails I had were good - I highly suggest the Never Been To Alaska 2.0 for something that's a little sweet and very tasty. Good reviews from everyone else too - the Rambler Highball was another favorite. The snack food was meh - $6 for some nuts that most bars would serve for free? Meh. Bread and butter was also too expensive but very good, and I would recommend if you need something to eat. Overall, when I'm drinking I like having access to good food (like, a full menu with dinner and everything) and this place was a little too expensive for my taste but if you're in the mood for a good cocktail, stop by and check them out.

I hear it just open last week. Its a small space for a group of 2-3-4 people. Everything is friendly However, i think the drink need more...flavor a little bit. The highball i got, kinda bland

Doesn't get any better. Great drinks, service and location. A fantastic addition to the area.

I used to eat at market in IV every week (usually twice) and one of the reasons was the fries and Brie. Found out recently that chef moved here and had that on the menu for a while. I of course just missed it. Food here is obviously still great but my friends and I are begging you - please put those fries back on the menu

I simply love this place. Can be small, cozy, trendy and lovely date place! From the moment my bf and I entered the place we were greeted with a friendly smile by the server at the front. Server was extremely friendly, knowledgable and professional. They have snacks, sharable entrees and dessert. Me and my bf used to order a bottle of wine and snacks. The drink menu had something for everyone with fair price, it wasn't extravagant for the area. The seating can be a little tight and the entire place is dimly lit, but it all adds to the wonderful ambiance. I am fortunate to find this spot in German village, Law bird will definitely be a destination for date night.

Such a cute spot. But more importantly, amazing drinks. They even have happy hour on Saturday!

Delivery of cocktails and a Thanksgiving pack was a hit with my husband. Thanks Law Bird!

This is my type of wine bar. Elegant and fun. Unfussy. Focused on pairing delicious small plates with good glasses of wine. Came here on National Chardonnay Day with some friends and ordered a bottle of Willamette Valley Chard and paired with the sunchoke carpaccio and the asparagus. Both very delicious and beautifully made. Excellent presentation and reasonably priced. If I'm in Columbus in the near future, I will definitely be back. Hopefully they have an even bigger wine list by then!

Um, delicious. I don't know what the association is exactly to Curio (riiiiip dear Curio even though ya'll shut down while I was prego so I couldn't have a goodbye drink - I forgive you) but the vibes and quality are on point. There's a drink that is ridiculous to say with bananas and something else delicious and disarming that I'll definitely be ordering again. My husband and I went on a weekend night and it was crowded, no surprise there. But the bartenders were attentive even to the people without a seat. Will definitely be back.

We went to their soft opening tonight and it was great! The inside is wonderfully decorated and there is plenty of seating. They have a huge cocktail/wine and beer menu. We tried a few cocktails--all were really good, including the mini $5 martini--and the wine we had was great. They have a few small plates and snacks on the menu. We tried the bread and butter which good for two people to share and was really tasty. The staff was very friendly, provided great suggestions and asked for feedback on everything we got. Highly suggest checking them out. We will definitely be back!

Cute space and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Grab a seat at the bar if you can. They've got interesting wines and have a few cocktails at the moment, but I'd love to see them expand or make the cocktail list something different and unique than what you might find elsewhere (like having more savory or spicy or botanical options). I felt like an old person because it's so dimly lit in there that I couldn't read the menu (thus the auto flash on my phone for the menu pictures!)

ya'll - LAW BIRD DELIVERS!!!! I was so excited to try this place and then COVID happened so I sadly reserved this on my list of places to try when the world goes back to normal. Thanks to Yelp's Columbus in Good Spirits collection (a weekly recap of Columbus' Top 10 Bars that week), I found myself back on their Yelp page (and who says Yelp isn't useful?? No, really - who says??? :)). After reading some recent reviews, I saw that Law Bird got super creative during this time. They have apparently made a little grab-and-go bodega full of spirits, their signature cocktails, and unique/fun snacks. I haven't gotten to see said bodega yet but it looks awesome. The other thing I noticed was that they delivered booze straight to your door. This includes their cocktails, premade and bottled, and an impressive wine selection. I selected a bottle of wine and three bottled cocktails last night and they were delivered around 2pm today. Deliveries are done Wednesday-Sunday and if you place an order that day before 2, it will be delivered same day! Delivery hours are 2PM-7PM. Super easy! And the delivery wasn't from a third party delivery service - this seemed to be a Law Bird employee who conveniently texted me that he was almost to my door. IDs were verified and my goodies were left on my doorstep for a contactless and safe experience. I know we all love Go Puff and the like for our boozy deliveries but I urge you to order some from this lovely local business. They really need it during these times. I really can't wait to try the bar once they open back up!

Bartenders there were the most knowledgeable I have ever seen. Snacks were more than enough and very eloquently presented. Tasted awesome!!!

I went to Law Bird for the first time during Village Lights. They had a truncated menu but it fit the holiday theme well. I went with the eggnog. It was cold and not too liquored. The person I went with got a white wine that our waiter recommended and it was DELICIOUS. I'm not normally a huge white wine fan but I loved it. We split the Bread and Butter, it included a generous serving of Dan the Baker sesame bread, a smear of butter, honey, and a little pile of salt. A perfect shareable that filled both of us up but wasn't too heavy. Fantastic addition to the brewery district!

Love this place. Great food, drinks and owners/staff. "Lady Bird" is doing it right. We love how they transformed the place and that there is a new place in the village to get supurb cocktails and wine! We had the burrata which was an excellent snack! An amazing selection on off the beaten path wines. Annie and the staff know their stuff! Get the mini martini to start. #nobeef

I've been to Law Bird now three times - each time has been a great time. There's so much personality that oozes out from all the details built into the establishment - from their menu to the decor. It all gave me this funky vibe of laid-back fun, reminding me of relaxing with old friends. Their menu states, "Our staff is super dope," which from several interactions I can attest to. Service has been fantastic, with everyone being particularly knowledgeable about the entire menu - which is great since I ask many questions due to indecisiveness. Grab a mini-martini while browsing the menu (check out the thundergun espresso, it's fantastic), and order all of the food items. But honestly, there's not an item on the menu that has disappointed, food and drinks alike. If you have an interest in going to a fun new place to drink that feels like grabbing a drink with great friends, don't hesitate to make a stop here. I'll certainly be back soon!

Must go! Stumbled in after dinner one night and to date had one of the best service experiences I can remember. Please check this place out, they are everything this city needs.

Best wine list in the city, great bartenders and cocktails. My new favorite bar. Tara yada yada I'm gonna be drunk soon.

The bar and setting was pretty intimate. The music was a little off putting & the drinks / food was overpriced. $9 for bread and butter. Cocktails all $11-15. Much too pricey, but it could because I'm an out of towner. The service was good.

Nothing special, but also not a bad place to get a good mixed cocktail. Drink prices are aggressive, and I say that having lived in Manhattan, NY for years (where most drinks are $$$$). I tried a craft cocktail and my wife had a mini-martini that was a pre-made mix. We tipped the bartender a few dollars and we think he was miffed we didn't tip more. Oh well, not a bad place per say, but I assume they're "trying" to be a high-end cocktail lounge with their price points, except it's just a little corner bar in the German Village.

Amazing to go cocktails. Menu changes often. Have not had a bad drink. Free delivery in range with orders over $50. Highly recommend.
