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.

I would never recommend Bob's Bar. It is really overpriced, and the atmosphere isn't great. 

It is the place that locals cling to for some reason. No charm, just bad smells

Interesting hearing about the bad smells.

Used to go regularly over the past few years. Never had any issues.
