Woodland's Backyard
About This Spot
Woodland's Backyard settles into Grandview as a relaxed neighborhood bar & grill where familiar rhythms of good company and casual entertainment come naturally. From the moment you step inside, there’s an inviting energy—friendly chatter weaving through the space, punctuated by the easy sounds of laughter and the clink of glasses, all set against a backdrop that feels both lively and unhurried.
This is a place that wears its roots openly: banter around the bar feels sincere, and there’s a sense of community unfolding across the tables. The space balances playful moments—like throwing a few frames at the bowling lanes or testing your aim on the dartboards—with quieter corners perfect for settling in and savoring the vibe. It’s approachable, clean, and lively without tipping into chaos, where regulars and newcomers alike find a place to pause comfortably.
The menu mirrors this local, laid-back spirit. Here, hearty burgers and spirited takes on classic bar fare come with just the right mix of flavor and familiarity, accented by touches of creativity—imagine savoring a hot chicken sandwich with all the fixings or sharing a bucket of beers with friends on a warm evening. Pairing your choice with a perfectly poured Guinness or a crisp cider feels like part of the ritual, not just an afterthought.
Woodland's Backyard is not about spectacle but about warm, everyday moments that slide easily into your week. Whether it’s unwinding after work, gathering for weekend fun, or simply stumbling in for good service and honest food, this spot holds a steady, welcoming pulse that feels genuine—a true backyard for the people of Columbus.

My wife and I came here for Blackbird Burrito which the food is incredible for the price. Fresh as fresh can be and the burrito was fully loaded like Chipotle used to be. What surprised me is I went to the bar and ordered a Guinness. I then watched in absolute joy that they knew how to pour a proper Guinness. As they say it was an absolute creamer. 9/10 Guinness pour. I only deduct a point because it was in a standard pint glass and not a Guinness glass.

Great place for a regular hang out spot to drink! Duck bowling, pool tables (update: they removed the pool tables and now have tons of tables and chairs for more seating), and volleyball courts. It is a bar, so it's a bar atmosphere with some things to do. Inside is Blackbird Burrito which has good food. Good prices and awesome service because the bar staff are all amazing!

It was hard not to order one of the best burgers in Columbus but the hot chicken sandwich from Prestons Burgers at Woodlands Backyard is going on the short list for amazing hot chicken sandwiches. House pickles, mayo, iceberg lettuce, amazing bun, hot chicken.
