Coaches Bar & Grill

Coaches is a Bethel Road institution. Is it named after a guy nicknamed Coach? Probably not, because the name would be Coach's. Is it a homage to sports coaches in general? Nobody knows... well somebody probably does, but not this guy.

Options. This is what Coaches provides. You can have the standard 21+ belly up to the bar experience. There are tables in the back where you can bring a few kids and not feel completely terrible about your decision making as a parent. You can have a private booth experience separated by plexiglass to catch up with an old friend or maybe a date if money is tight or you are iffy on it. They even have a fire you can sit by if you have a larger group. Those flames are animated on a TV, but will still keep you warm.

Options. The hidden gem at Coaches is the outdoor patio. When the weather + your mindset are right, and with enough cocktails, you can feel like you are on vacation. The high fencing that surrounds you will make you completely forget you're sitting in a strip mall parking lot next to a storefront called, "Asian Massage." I can promise you this... the food, drinks and conversation will fill you up. Sometimes that's all you need.

Ten garlic wings, order of fries and a tasty beverage. Very friendly staff, good food, and quick service what more can you ask for? Nice atmosphere, music playing in the background, but not too loud that you can't have a conversation they also have a Nice patio.

Green bend were amazing! Italian hoagie was fantastic! Will go back! Fiancé loved his Cuban.

This is my first time eating at this establishment. I had the Big Daddy's Ribeye Philly sandwich and fries and I must say it was delicious. The bread is so soft and the meat is so tender. My favorite place for a Philly Steak sandwich is Penn Station but I think it's my second favorite place as of Friday, July 15, 2022. The fries were even good too. Let Stacy and Nikki take care of you. Thumbs up to the chefs who made the meal.

Our first time out in a while. Nice patio, friendly server, decent food. Great iced tea. The French fries were amazing, totally craveable! We'll be back for another try.

Food was good but the trivia was awful, couldn't hear or comprehend half of what she said. Get a new trivia guide and will come back but tonight eight people won't return!

Kiddo ordered the fried chicken sliders. He would order again which is a high praise from him. Sliders came with buffalo sauce and blue cheese. We ordered then plain :)

Hubby ordered the fish & chips. Fish was a thick filet nicely crispy. He found the tarter sauce to be tasty. The full meal was 2 large filets. Half order would have been 1 piece. The fries were thick like Wendy's but not steak fries.
The meat was flakey & moist with a lite batter. We read here a comparison to Old Bag of Nails; he rates this a close second.

I ordered the black bean burger. It was good but a basic frozen patty. Im used to that as a vegetarian trying to eat in a sports bar.

TVs were plentiful. We are always looking for a place to watch football games and so we will return.

The staff is so wonderful. If you want to get away from the overpriced and bad service Columbus bar scene ( thanks to east coast influence), this is the perfect place. Reasonable prices and great food.

This is one of my friends' favorite stops for trivia on Wednesday nights and we've been coming for about four years.

It's your standard divey sports bar, but I've always found it clean and the service attentive. There are booths, tables, a large bar in the center, and a pool table. They have TV screens for spirts viewing everywhere you look - large ones around the bar and some outer walls, and individual ones at each booth. They have sound for whatever major game is playing. There's a good sports vibe with caricatures of famous coaches on the walls. It's enough memorabilia without being overkill or dusty.

The food is standard bar food. A lot of stuff is deep fried, but it's hand-breaded, and the portion sizes are very large. It's not gourmet, but it's great food for watching sports which is its intent. It's also very reasonably priced and considerably cheaper than Buffalo Wild Wings which is in the same complex.

I always get the fried green beans, my friends love the fish and chips (including my British friend), and we tend to get whatever daily dessert they are serving.

We just found out they have entree lunch cards, so get that if you plan on coming more frequently!

We come to this place all the time over the years I have to say that this places service is going down that tube. Table was not clean and when to have the table cleaner the waitress that obviously did not want to be here cleans only half of the table. We ordered two bud lights and decided not to eat here anymore. This same waitress has the worst personal skills and is rude. Definitely should not be in customer service. Maybe it is this specific server but with many other choices, definitely do not need to be where we are not appreciated.

When we decided to leave and go somewhere else, the waitress came over and apologized for her behavior. We ended up staying and she was a completely new person - friendly and attentive. I totally appreciated her coming to that table and offering apology. It takes a good person to do this - thank you.

BTW, the food is good as usual. Will come back.
