Varsity Club Restaurant & Bar is an old-pub favorite located in the heart of the Ohio State University campus. The atmosphere is lively and full of energy, making it the perfect place to watch the Buckeyes play.

Great location and great food… Service was quick and amazing. Highly recommend if your going to a game or concert at Ohio Stadium (The Shoe). Get there early or you won’t get a seat, cause they are that good.

The staff did very well with the multitudes of people they had to wait on. This was the night of the Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks concert.

Was here for a few beers before the Ohio St / Wisconsin game. Awesome spot right by the stadium. Cash only on game day not sure if that’s the case all the time. Multiple porches to hang out at also. Great spot.

Very fast service. Pizza is very good. This has got to be a great game day bar. Server had a party and other tables and still took great care of us and the prices are very reasonable. Great atmosphere.

Varsity Club is great because it’s close to the Stadium and not a bad walk to the Schottenstein Center either. I wouldn’t say its great for watching games, but if you’re a Buckeye fan, you’ll love the decor! The food is good and the service is great!

This is a pleasant sports bar. Visited on a Tuesday evening. Draft beer and appetizers were surprisingly cheap during happy hour. Wings (spicy garlic) were cooked to perfection and sauce was an excellent balance of flavor and heat. Staff was accommodating but not quite 5-star (had to ask for napkins after wings arrived). I would definitely visit here again.
