Top 21 Gluten-Free Cocktail Spots to Experience in Columbus

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!

Probably the best gluten-free pizza I’ve had in Columbus

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!

Had a fantastic experience here as a gluten intolerant person for their tasting menu. I do wish they would have been more accommodating to my friend who was with me that is keto. They would not offer her low carb replacements and made her burger be delivered with the bun, no exceptions. I do think I would have preferred the regular menu and will probably go back to try that.

I would give 1000 stars if I could. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and our server, Tyler, made sure I was eating GOOD. He got the kitchen to make gf/df bread specially for me, and was super accommodating explaining the menu items in depth and offering suggestions. He even brought me a plate of steamed veggies with my chicken & pasta. I ended up getting the pasta-your-way with gf gnocchi and grilled chicken, and he brought me a side of steamed veggies. He was accommodating, friendly, and on top of everyones table around us with the same level of service. Did I mention this was Valentine's day, one of their busiest days? This is going to become a regular restaurant for me, thank you Marcella's and thank you Tyler!!

My husband and I went to The Refectory last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server Lisa was very personable and did such a wonderful job educating us about the dishes offered and drink selections. The Refectory operates differently than most Ohio/US restaurants. It's recommended to order all courses ahead of time as they are small batch. We ordered 4 courses and even though the plates are smaller than "normal" we were pleasantly stuffed at the end of our meal. To note, courses do come out at a slower, more European pace. Our entire dinner took 2.5 hours. I highly enjoyed the slow pace, it gave us more of a chance to slowly savor our dishes and really connect. The escargot is more in a loaf type form and comes with a garlicky sauce that is just amazing. Not pictured is the soup I had which was the vegetarian, which was deliciously simple but definitely warming. My husband had the shrimp that had a lovely bright vinaigrette followed by the arugula salad. The arugula paired with the pancetta (I think) was delicious as the fat cut the sharpness of the arugula. For my main course I had the sturgeon which I highly recommend. It was meltingly soft and the potatoes/vegetables provided a contrasting crunch. My husband had the duck which he highly enjoyed, the cherry sauce had a tartness he enjoyed but I did not particularly care for. Dessert we both chose the creme brulee. The grand marnier was a nice change from a standard vanilla, it was beautifully silky and paired so well with probably the BEST latte I have ever had. There were a few items I'm going to grumble about but really are minor and not worth detracting any stars: I have celiac and the gluten free bread basket at $5 extra was rather disappointing. It looked like regular sliced sandwich bread that was cut in diagonals. I'll skip the bread next time as Cameron Mitchell restaurants, Cooper's Hawk and others have better to offer. The other grumbly item is the lack of dessert options for someone with celiac. I could choose between the creme brulee or I believe a sorbet. Dessert is my absolute favorite course so this was disappointing. It's the reason we'll come back maybe once or twice a year, but probably not more.

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.

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.

I’d been wanting to try ROOH since they opened and finally got to take advantage of 614 Restaurant Week and it was wonderful! Service was attentive and friendly! The atmosphere is perfect with no blaring music and nice decor. The bathrooms are clean too. They have great cocktails, some originals and some twists on the classics. Try the Once More. 🥃 The short rib *chef kiss*. There are also good vegetarian and gluten free options and every dish we tried had depth and great flavor. Also make sure you stay for dessert!

Their gluten free pizza is amazing!

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!

Nice service. Good food. A bit spicy though for the gluten free option they had.

Rochelle Stapp

We went for a late birthday lunch and it was very good service. They do have gluten free pasta (penne) and gluten free pizza. Both are great but I loved the pizza. I also got a limoncello that was excellent.

Lior Seidel

Tons of GF options! great tacos!

Mike and Emily Geiser

Great gluten free pizza option.

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!

Briana Burrell

Beautiful and very clean, they offer gluten free food prepared in their gluten free kitchen area. Offers a variety of food including sushi. The staff is friendly and the service is good.

Andrew Pitonyak

Great service, great food, expensive. Charlotte G knew all about gluten allergies and took great care of my family. We all had a wonderful time. Expect your food to be cooked perfectly and they have a great personal touch. They currently have a tiered system where you can get an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert all for a flat rate price. Consider doing that. They have coke.
