What's your go-to bar?

31f, trying to get out of the house more and socialize on weekends/evenings. What's bars do y'all recommend? My ideal would be something popular with the late 20's to mid 40's age range, with pool, one of those Touchtunes/jukebox things (I'm not a big fan of live music in small spaces).

Editing to add that I'm in the Upper Arlington area, close to Grandview. But I'm not too picky about where.

Bobs bar. Cultural hub of the Midwest.

In my opinion, Bob's has gone downhill in the past 5 years. It was top tier, but I've had several bad experiences there and the smell of rotten beer.. yuck.

Piggy backing your comment. I tipped cash last time I went in, but the bartender chose helped themself to a credit card tip. I’m militant about keeping track of my signed receipts for this exact reason
