Top 44 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Ohio

Julia Green

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

We have been dining at Comune since they opened & have always had a wonderful experience. Lots of gluten free options, stellar service & owners!

Went for a family dinner this past Saturday. Service was great. We made reservations and we were sat immediately even tho it was packed. Our waitress was awesome. I have Celiac disease and felt totally comfortable and safe eating there and having to be gluten free. I want to give 5 stars instead of 4 but I just can’t because of the food. It really just wasn’t very good. I got a vegetable and rice dish with chicken that was lacking flavor majorly. Our appetizer was the “spicy” pimento dip that was hard and not spicy. It just didn’t fair well. My mom got shrimp pasta and said it was underwhelming. Daughter got chicken fingers and said the same thing . I’m going to go back and try again, maybe it’ll be better next time. I really want to like it since the rest of the experience was so good.

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

Heather Iacono

Absolutely fabulous authentic Mexican food, dedicated gluten free. AAAAA+++++

Lindsay Morrison

We had family in town with various dietary restrictions and allergies (including celiac). Everyone at Chapman’s went above and beyond to ensure we all were taken care of and had an amazing experience! Food was wonderful and cocktails were creative and delicious. Thanks to the crew at Chapman’s for a wonderful time!

Matthew Anthony

Where to start… The gluten free bread for the table was phenomenal. Our entire table was gluten free and tasted spot on. The chicken parm was huge and flavorful. The pasta alla carbonara was also great and had a perfect amount of sauce and was perfect with the chicken. Our waitress, Vanessa, was so nice and accommodating to our needs(lil bro had a crush). She even gave us a special off-the-menu desert after hearing about or gluten free travels. Will 100% come back again every time we’re near. The whole experience was SPOT ON!!!

Joseph Coppus

Great food, chill atmosphere, and lots of great gluten free options!

Amazing place ! Super super clean! Love the dark blue vibe. The velvet benches were 💙 Very friendly staff the food was all gluten free and absolutely delicious. The bar service was great, drinks were crafted perfectly. They food and presentation was spot on. Went for a private party and everything was perfection. I would 100% recommend!!!

Maddy Wilm

This is my new favorite restaurant. Essentially everything on their menu is gluten free and so delicious even my nongluten free friends love it & cannot tell a difference. The food is an absolute 1000/10 BUT the service is incredible!! Megan & Eddie were SO personable, and they make us want to make this our regular spot! I can’t say enough positive things about this place! It’s a must try ESPECIALLY if you are gluten free!

We went to Hudson 29 on Valentine’s Day, understandably one of the busiest days of the year. When we asked about mocktails, I was offered a lemonade, which seemed odd as they have a full bar. We watched couple after couple receive their food, but our waiter said he was getting our app and never came back with it. We spoke with what appeared to be a GM or manager, and they finally brought it. It took an hour to get our food. We liked our meals and was comparable to other CM restaurants. We love Cameron Mitchell (CM) restaurants, but this experience didn’t meet the standard of the others of them. As always, gluten free and allergies are accommodated well as at other CM restaurants.

Marsha Schroeder

Our service was amazing even being a party of 15. Great variety on the menu and offers a separate Gluten Free menu which is SO nice being separated from the general menu. It was a little loud if you want an intimate experience, though.

Reagen Powers

Celiac friendly! Very knowledgeable and they have dedicated fryers!

Abby Ham

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Tom Aguero

Nearly everything was gluten free or could be made that way!! Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommend the crab cake. Steak and chowder were both delicious as well.

Mallory Hudson

I've been to Columbus three times and each time I make a point to come to Bonifacio. The food and cocktails are incredible and reasonably-priced. Most of the food is naturally gluten-free and I've never had a reaction due to cross contamination.

Allison Glasgow

Their gluten free pizza is amazing!

Janna Rich

Nothing compares to the entire experience of dining at Jeff Ruby’s! I went with my family about a month ago and can’t wait to go back. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional and the food was fantastic. Our server, Patrick was awesome. They even accommodated my gluten intolerance and made some yummy mocktails since I don’t drink.

Laura Brogden

Katie P was fantastic! She was kind and attentive for our whole meal. I have gluten and dairy allergies and she had the manager prepare everything to make sure it was safe!

Christine Cooper

Alcove knows something that many restaurants could learn, that you can serve people with food allergies and preferences without limiting access to a variety of dishes. So many dishes prepared gluten free and they have a dedicated gf fryer. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was incredible. Even my gluten eating friends enjoyed it. The beet and goat cheese salad is not to be missed! The polenta with flamin' hot Cheetos was a favorite at the table. The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. Definitely will be returning!

Hayley Eckert

Awesome vibe and delicious food. Very accommodating for food allergies - I have severe celiac / gluten free and they took care to ensure no cross contamination. Highly recommend

Paul Verlei

I went there for Valentine's Day dinner. The place was very nice and accommodating considering my girlfriend has a gluten allergy and they do offer gluten-free options

Charlene Morse

I love their food especially since it has gluten-free options.

Helen Sun

Zhug oozes warmth and class, and is probably my favorite of Doug Katz's restaurant ventures. Like his other recent restaurants, it's best enjoyed as a tapas adventure with friends. Unlike his other ventures, they unfortunately are too cool for reservations. There's usually a couple spots open at the bar for the taking, but come with any more than 4 people and your wait on a busy night may be upwards of an hour. If you're lucky, you can find street parking in front on Cedar (free since COVID days), or park in the old Dave's grocery lot across the street (also free). The dim lighting allows candlelight, plush pillows, and verdant greenery to dominate the atmosphere. The staff are entirely the opposite of the standoffish lot you might imagine would work here - every person we've encountered has been friendly and incredibly accommodating. Also accommodating is the menu, which is vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan friendly. Although they do have high chairs and children are welcome, it's not an ideal place to bring little rowdy ones since there's quite a bit of glassware and candles, not to mention tight quarters. Two gender-neutral bathrooms are located at the back and kept in orderly condition. Be prepared to get lost in the sauce, because there are a lot of sauces and dips. A satisfying order usually consists of about 2-3 dishes per person. The usual culprits on our group's order are the Nigella Seed and Burnt Onion Hummus - paired with the complimentary pita bread, and a little dollop of their complimentary zhug (a spicy green Yemeni sauce), this provides a cozy foundation for your stomach as you await the rest of the food. Cauliflower, Roasted Carrots, and Potato Tostones are other delightful, textured bites to get your fiber in and fill up. Protein wise, I'm a huge fan of the Crispy Chicken and its brightly seasoned dipping sauce, as well as the Warm White Beans (more pleasurable than the plain name would suggest) and plump Butter Roasted Shrimp. Their wine and cocktail menu is tastefully curated, but I've actually never made it to the desserts since we're usually so stuffed after the savory dishes.

Chris Bogues

Food we ordered was good. Waiter (Steve) copped an attitude when 2 in our party informed him of their severe dairy (anaphylactic) and gluten allergies. He was unwilling to explore options regarding the menu. “We’re busy in the kitchen. I can’t ask them”. If you go to this location, request to not be served by Steve.

Shan Tolbert-Olson

I ordered the gluten free garlic cheese bread and the gluten free Italian Stallion sub, both were amazing!

Lynn Sweet

Daniel Novitski

Loud..Service is mediocre and the food is decent. Thursday they have varios gluten free options. Not bad, but they will rake you over the coals to go gluten free, $3+ for a GF bun or a wrap. You can get a pack for what they charge you for one.

Carol Heckel

We go eat out a few times a month's, I can never find gluten-free bread! Not only was it so good, but it was fresh. The rest of my family loved it as well! Will be back!

Nick Leali

A Bowling Green institution. Always great service and the breakfast is always good. Has some gluten free options.

Candy Cotton

The best chips in the… world?????? They have THE best chips. I know, crazy to say the chips are the best thing on the menu but omg, they’re that good. We got a pizza which was also very very good and celiac safe! But the chips still outshined. To be GF, we got the chips with the spinach artichoke dip instead of the baguette it usually comes with and I mean I think it’s my fave appetizer in the city now. Also I got the huckleberry mule WOW it was amazing! Dangerously good!!! So sweet and like a blue raspberry slushy type flavor but ya know, a huckleberry mule. If you’ve never had huckleberry, it’s a delicious sweet tart berry native to the US north west, namely Montana. And when I go to Montana I get huckleberry everything because it’s so good and rare here to the Midwest. So that was a real treat!!! Service was so good too! I didn’t get our servers name but he was just the best and so kind! God bless Cameron Mitchell for supporting the GF community. It really does mean the world to me as silly as that sounds. It’s so liberating and life changing to be able to go to a restaurant and order really anything I want and not just a salad w no crutons. Btw parking is in the garage across the street (short north garage) or there’s another garage down the road (Lincoln) parking isn’t bad, we spent $10 and it’s really close to the building. Parking thankfully was really easy. Not that Lincoln Social has any control over the parking regardless, but it’s nice that a garage is close!

Danielle Perry

Fantastic service and food and drinks! The chicken enchiladas, chips n salsa and the jalapeno cornbread were my favorites but everything was 10/10! Options available for dietary restrictions- gluten free/celiac

Katelyn “Nova” S

They have a great Gluten free menu! As someone with Celiac it is such a treat to be able to eat normally at a restaurant some of my favorite foods - gluten pasta/macaroni was delicious! Soup was also gf. My main meal was potato crusted cod which was also delicious! I'll miss eating their almond chicken from before my diagnosis.

Andrew Pitonyak

We had wonderful service, they had gluten-free buns, I absolutely loved the hamburger, and they had root beer floats. I liked the onion rings, my wife and oldest daughter like the fries

Stella Cook

Chaz Johnson

Very complete menu with many options listed including your possible allergies, your choice of levels of vegan and gluten choices. Fairfield sorry for the waitress as she struggled to fulfill everybody's food idiosyncrasies.

Samantha Dishman

What a great time! Went here with family and Ethan was our server, he was excellent! Food was tasty and they had options to make the food healthier and gluten free when one of our guests needed modifications. We don’t live close to the bistro but with the wonderful food experience we had, we will definitely be back soon.

Melanie Marie

I am gluten intolerant and this is the best, most inclusive restaurant around for people with allergies. Shout-out to Breia, she is always so friendly and helpful. We love coming here for sushi weekends. They have a separate gluten free menu to make it easy to find safe options, 11/10.

Victoria Hobson

My husband & I love this place! I have a gluten & dairy allergy so I’m difficult but Roman made it easy! He was on point, kind & knowledgeable. We had a great dinner after a long day of travel. Thank you, Roman & 56 Kitchen!!

Eugene Campos

Courtney Kurczewski Krause

We had a wonderful dining experience! I have Celiac disease and our server was very good knowledgeable about gluten free options and avoiding cross contact. She was very friendly, answered all our questions, and provided quick service. The potato appetizer, chips and salsa flight, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, and cake were delicious! We'll definitely be back in again next time we're in Dayton! Thank you so much!

Nancy Sirivanakarn

My husband and I had a lovely date night at Asterisk Supper Club on 2/7/25. We ordered the Caesar salad, center cut steak with Burgundy Mushroom Demi, and Ratatouille. For dessert, we shared a chocolate torte that was vegan, gluten free and nut free. Everything was SO delicious! (Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures of our food. I can assure you, it all looked amazing and we devoured it.) Our waiter, Nick, was very nice, friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed the ambience. Being an avid reader, my husband liked all the books on the shelves, and picked one out to read as we waited for a table. Which leads me to say, I highly recommend making a reservation beforehand. We also very much enjoyed the live entertainment of beautiful singing and guitar playing. Thank you, Asterisk Supper Club, we had a great time!

Mackenzie Wills

If I could rate them 10 stars I would! Absolutely incredible culinary experience. Everything from the hospitality of every single person we interacted with, the drinks and the food were above and beyond my expectations! Being celiac they were so accommodating and I didn’t get left out on having anything, which is not always the norm. We were celebrating my birthday and everyone was so kind wishing me a happy one. We left feeling so impressed and perfectly full. Go there now for an amazing experience. Thank you!

Jacob Thigpen

Loved this Moer burger. Got a gluten free bun and loved the flavor added by the pastrami.

Seth Schwartz

This place is awesome! Great food and service. We love going here. My wife is Celiac and they are very careful with the gluten-free options.
