🍺🍷 A One-of-a-Kind Brewery + Winery Experience in Grove City
At Grove City Brewing Company + Plum Run Winery, we’re proud to offer something truly unique in Central Ohio—a destination where guests don’t have to choose between beer or wine.
- Handcrafted beer brewed locally
- Award-winning wines
- Full kitchen with elevated comfort food
- Seasonal cocktails + bourbon selections
- One of Grove City’s best patios
Our space was designed to bring people together—whether you’re here for a casual drink, date night, private event, or a full evening of food and drinks. As our mission says, it’s all about “food + wine + beer in the heart of our community.”
🌿 Why Our Patio Stands Out
Being nominated for Best Restaurant Patio is especially exciting—and if you’ve visited, you know why.
Our patio is a go-to spot in Grove City for:
- Warm summer nights with craft beer in hand
- Cozy fall evenings with wine and cocktails
- Seasonal menus and community gatherings
It’s more than just outdoor seating—it’s an experience.
🍸 Cocktails, Bourbon & More
From creative seasonal cocktails to carefully selected bourbons, our bar program continues to grow—and this year’s nominations for Best Cocktails and Best Local Bourbon prove it.
Whether you’re sipping:
- A handcrafted cocktail
- A rotating tap feature
- A glass of Plum Run wine
…there’s always something new to discover.
