Service Bar at Middle West Spirits Distillery

The 12 Hottest New Restaurants in Columbus, Ohio

"As Service Bar hits its first birthday, the chatter about Middle West Spirits’ restaurant arm has yet to die down. With a sense of humor and serious know-how, chef Avishar Barua easily cooks up some of the most creative and well-executed food in the city giving ingredient upgrades to takeout lowbrow dishes, like his spin on a Big Mac with bone marrow and a smoked bacon-enriched patty, or the cheesy brisket crunch with oak-smoked beef and fried roti. Don’t miss the cocktails too, mixed up from the stunning, huge, salvaged 19th-century back bar." - Beth Stallings
