Editorial Review for Old Bag of Nails Pub – by James Ellison

The Scene
Named after the London pub where Paul McCartney met first wife Linda Eastman, each Old Bag is decorated with beer-can collections, bric-a-brac and other pub paraphernalia. The Worthington location is a bit darker and hole-in-the-wall cozy, while the Grandview space is larger and good for groups and kids. People come for the food as much as the great selection of imported beers and ales; expect to wait a while for a table on Friday or Saturday nights. The vibe is generally wholesome and neighborhood friendly.

The Food
Classic American bar food and many seafood selections make for an interesting menu. Favorites include crispy, bite-sized potato pancakes, hot piled-high corned beef sandwiches, Coho salmon and bread pudding. The battered fish and chips are as good as any you'd get in England. Portion sizes are often large enough to feed two.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

If you want to avoid smoke, go to one of the other five locations.

Save Time

If the waiting list is too long for the famous fish sandwich, head one mile south on High Street to the Pig Iron BBQ. It's owned by the same people and serves the same sandwich.

When to Go

It's a laid-back get-together for St. Patrick's Day, with occasional bagpipers to boost your spirits.

My girlfriend and I stopped by the Westerville location. The food was aweful. Her medium steak was crispy and I had to cut the black burnt stuff of my salmon to make it edible. We both finished our drinks halfway through dinner (we ate at the bar), but were never offered any seconds. The bartenders it seems was too busy fussing over the restaurant manager who was sitting next too us having a few too many in her own establishment. Definitely one of the worst dining experiences of my 40 year life!!!

Pros: good locaiton

Cons: bad service bad food

A rarity on this side of the pond: excellent fish and chips, true Scotch whisky and a great pub atmosphere.  See the full editorial review.
