The Old Bag of Nails Pub - Upper Arlington

"New location is SO much better than the old one. I’ve always liked the food but the old location didn’t have many windows , was so dark and getting run down. This new location is a breath of fresh air. It’s a little tricky to find with the current construction but they have a huge parking garage real close. Fried pickles starter was awesome. Definitely will be visiting a look more frequently now!"

"Relocated from Tremont Center, this tried and true format is now at Kingsdale Center in the new cluster of buildings that include luxury senior living, the new UA rec center, and apartments. Like the other locations, there is the basic, hearty menu of fish & chips (outstanding), burgers, etc. Unlike the others, this new one is far from cozy and pub-like. It lacks wood, warmth and has a sterile feel. The biggest complaint is the lighting. It's like an operating room! The halogen or LED can lights are nuclear. The dining side is especially bright and annoying. This is odd, as the owners of this chain should know that warm, incandescent lighting sets a mood and makes food (and people) look better. Hopefully they will figure this out and install proper dimmers or lower wattage bulbs and make this a more enjoyable place to frequent. For now, bring sunglasses, or avoid, like I will."

"Fish and chips are always the best in Central Ohio. You really can't go wrong. Going there getting fish and chips. On the side note it's also shareable. They give you enough where you can share and still leave not hungry. I also enjoy the fried mushrooms as well"

"I was starving and craving a burger. It didn't disappoint. You'd think it'd be easy to get a good burger and fries in this town. But as one who has explored nearly every, if not every, burger night in town, I can say it's much harder than you'd expect. This one was perfect, as were the fries. I sat at the bar and the server was super friendly too. She knew the regulars and exactly what they get. But never once did I feel like she preferred them over me - which can happen sometimes. It was a very laid back atmosphere and personally I love the style of the place. My only wish is that the prices were a little lower, but I guess you pay for what you get."
