Watershed is one of my favorite places in Columbus for cocktails, and the food is always equally as amazing. We finally did the distillery tour and it was fun, informative, and our tour guides were clearly passionate about what they do. Happy hour is a great deal too!

Went with a couple of friends from out of town. Sat at the bar. Great cocktail selection divided by regions around the world. Our bartender Todd was great. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Had dinner here last night for the first time. The service was great and pretty fast. If you are a picky eater I don’t recommend it for the food. Check their menu online before you go. If you are a foody, you’ll enjoy the food. Lots of drink choices. The vibe was contemporary and cozy. I did think it was a bit overpriced.

Great service and food! Had a reservation for dinner at 7 on the patio. It started raining so they quickly moved us inside and sat us immediately. Ambiance was really cool. Dinner menu had a decent selection but the drink menu was huge! We had the brussel sprouts and bread & spread for appetizers, both were delicious. Entree’s I tried the Short Rib and the Smashburger, both were great!! Was shocked how good the burger was and it came with a ton of fries. Decent portions for everything.

The short rib was fantastic! And the cocktail menu is a fun “around the world” theme currently, and are excellent. This has always been my go-to restaurant for friends and family from out of town, and I hope it continues. The distillery (and maybe restaurant?) has been bought out by a Swedish alcohol firm that I hope retains the essence that makes Watershed unique while also getting their name out there + distribution.

This secluded bar/restaurant is a cocktail lover’s dream. The lounge-like decor is set against a glass wall that showcases the numerous vats used to distill their spirits. The cocktail menu is made to look like a 50s era magazine and has A LOT of drinks to choose from. The food menu is smaller, focusing on quality over quantity. I had beef short rib and an Old Fashioned-esque drink, both were superb.

We had a phenomenal experience here to celebrate a birthday. Everything we ordered (cocktails, appetizers, dinner, and dessert) was perfectly prepared. The service was wonderful as well, and they even re-did a steak we had ordered that came out undercooked (and they made us feel comfortable about asking, as I am usually quite shy to send a dish back!). The tasting menu is very worth it for a special occasion or date night and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely awesome place. Trendy but not pretentious. Great bourbon flights to choose from and the barrel aged Old Fashioned was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ too!

Came here for date night and it was a great fit! We splurged a bit so got the bread and spread (carrot hummus and miso butter), wings, steak, and short ribs. I wouldn’t normally order the short ribs based on the sides it presented with but I ended up enjoying the summer squash and corn mix! Also the bread pudding was to die for

It’s been awhile since we have been to Watershed, but it was worth the wait. Scarlett was our server and she was very attentive and allowed us to take our time ordering.
