My friend was in town visiting from Chicago and he's a big fan of German Village. Me and a few of my friends gathered here for drinks and grab some apps. This place is super dive-y, which is exactly what we were looking for. They also have a pool table and a ping pong table in back which was super nice - we love when bars have activities! Me and my boyfriend played a few round before we ordered food. We ordered the potato skins and they were sooo good, when is the last name y'all had potato skins? I feel like so many places got rid of them but would definitely comeback for ping pong and potato skins.

Nice rustic local dive bar. Really nice set up. The bartender could've done a little bit of a better job. He was a little over-the-top with acting like I was gonna walk out without paying before I even ordered. Do you have a credit card to put on hold. Ordered a pizza to go and a pizza to dine in. Got both of them to go lol.

The High Beck Tavern is a real neighborhood dive bar. It reminds me of the places in the OSU campus area before gentrification. As I have said, we enjoy exploring dive bars, and visiting the High Beck is always popular. The pizza is delicious, and you can build your own. The BBQ is super, but not out of this world. The BBQ includes both brisket and pulled pork. The BBQ is not cooked with a great deal of seasoning, but there are several sauces for you to try. There are subs, burgers, and chili dogs. We love the BBQ and pizza, which is mostly what we go for. The High Beck is an actual dive establishment. Ordering is done at the bar. The prices are low, and the beer is cold. The High Beck is ideal if you are going out with a crew. Everyone will find something to munch on, and no one will mind if you become a little rowdy. Parking is at meters along High Street. So, if you become bored with the Short North, make a trip down High Street with your pals to the High Beck in German Village.

A cozy, neighborhood friendly bar thay really cares about the surrounding community and its patrons. A likely spot to catch hip people kickin' it late night. They offer a great atmosphere, a pool table, a foosball table, and free bar bites including pizza and chili dogs on certain days/hours. The locals tell me that the owner Tommy is a sweetheart. A good friend of mine is a regular here and he is greeted with a corona with lime and a smile upon entry. It's definitely a vibe and has been a South High staple since long before I was old enough to have drinks there. Actually it has been around for 101 years, since before prohibition!

High Beck is your classic neighborhood bar, complete with dart boards, Christmas lights hung year round, and a big huge bar right in the middle where everything is centered around. They have your typical beer offerings, nothing too over the top here (Aka no sour beers for me). But, they have a full bar of liquor to whip up whatever you're wanting! We got their pizza and potato skins and they were super good! Food came relatively quickly considering how crowded it was in there!! If you're looking for a casual neighborhood (sort of) divey bar to hang with your friends at, High Beck is the spot for you

This bar is fun. There are games in the back like ping pong and pool. The drinks are cheap and the service is very friendly. I didn't try any of the food but there was a good selection beers on draft. Recommended for a casual fun evening.

I went religiously to High Beck Tavern for lunch in the mid 2000's. Sadly some time in late 2010 I got a new job that didn't allow me to do lunches out like I use to. I have stopped by a few times here and there for a drink at the bar. I have always felt fondly about this hole in the wall. It is rightly name High Beck, because it is on the corner of High Street and Beck Street, in German Village. You can't miss the big blue awning out front that covers the entrance and the patio. Back in the day when I went for lunches, I loved their food and the affordable prices. The beers were always cold and they were not overpriced either, even though you are steps away from downtown. I was feeling nostalgic on a rainy Friday and I thought, why not stop in and have lunch for old times sake at High Beck. We entered the bar and we were the only ones in the entire place except for the employees. I ordered my usual, a beer and an Italian sub with fries. The place had not changed at all. No remodel, or freshening up of the place had occurred since I was last regularly visiting. A sense of familiarity rolled over me. I love that High Beck does not try to be something it isn't, it is your typical hole in the wall. They don't serve up any BS, just a good, cold, well priced beverage and a place to sit back and possibly forget the day or your troubles for a moment. The food came out, and though I gave High Beck 4 stars for this review now, please know it is not due to the food. The potato skins ($7) are the kind that are frozen in a big plastic bag, and then pulled out and fried up. They are tasteless. How does cheese and bacon not have any taste. Please just take my order and do not even order them. Save yourself the $7 and buy another 2 beers instead. My Italian sub was also disappointing. It definitely was not delicious like I remember back in the day. I was disappointed again that the meat was not heated. It was cold. The sub bun was maybe toasted on the grill for 2 seconds, not long enough for me. And the Italian dressing they used was Wish Bone. Not good at all. The fries were fine, it is hard to get fries wrong. After saying that I am certain you are wondering how I still gave them 4 stars. Well, my hope for you is that you stop by High Beck for the hole in the wall feel and a cold adult beverage. And then when you get hungry you move on to another establishment. It is worth a stop in for a drink, no doubt.
