Lincoln Social Rooftop

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!

Incredible views up and down High Street. Parking at meters along local streets is tight but available. Sidewalks were busy with pedestrian traffic and some other area bars and restaurants providing patron seating outdoors would make it tricky for vision or mobility impaired persons. There is a very unremarkable entrance that is very easy to miss. The black and white sign is big enough but it still felt like we were entering into a non-decorated hotel at the street level. People are to queue up here inside on the street level while the host checks you in. We didn't need reservations but had called ahead to check status. Our visit was midweek in October at about 5 or 530 pm. Host sends you up the direct-to-the-top elevator. Another host seats you. The northeast corner has great views including the Graduate Hotel with its augmented reality mural on the south side of its building. South end has gorgeous views of Columbus skyline at sunset and night. Eastern views are less fascinating and the trees make it appear as much forested as it is urban, which is good in that you are in the middle of the 15th largest city in the US. Drinks are far better than they charge for, even better at happy hour. Food is worth the trip itself, even the gluten free options were incredible. Employees were friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there too.
