Julep

A great change of pace in the Short North area!! Normally when I decide to go out for a drink on High St I am confronted with an incredibly crowded, small and loud environment that requires minutes of waiting before a bartender is able to provide service to me. However, this weekend when I decided to give Julep a try, I was pleasantly surprised! The manager, Kyle, instantly greeted my party upon entering and was extremely welcoming and hard working throughout our stay. The music was conducive of a fun, conversation-full atmosphere. The bar was very appropriately filled, and the lovely bartender, Peyton, was serving everyone at the bar with a friendly, professional, and timely manner! I will certainly be including Julep in my normal bar rotation from here on out!!

fast service for a recommended jolly rancher shot. Pretty large menu of food options, including many gourmet Mac and cheeses. Plenty of seating including bar, high tops and even couches. Plenty of tvs with a variety of things airing like sports and music. Plentiful draft list as well. Very busy on Fridays and Saturdays and slower most other nights. Fairly long happy hour. 4-8p m-f.

Went to the Short North Julep for the first time last night because I decided to purchase tickets to their Xmas beer tasting event and good excuse to try a place we had not been yet. My husband and myself had a good time. The tasting event consisted of 5 samples each. They had 7 different Xmas beers to choose from and between the both of us we tried all 7 and enjoyed the difference among the beers and variety. We choose the fried cheese curds and fries green beans as appetizers. Had we known how large portions size were, we would have only ordered 1 app. 2 giant size baskets of fried food is a bit too much fried food for myself but both apps were fine. We shared the bacon chicken ranch pizza and that was very good. Not greasy, thick cheese and crust was not too thin or thick, prefect. We sat at the bar and the service was good and attentive. Atmosphere was fun and festive, decorated for Xmas with Xmas music playing the entire time. We will return!
