Pace-High Carryout

I love the selection this place offers. Would somebody PLEASE tell them to turn up their beer coolers.

I walk here all the time. The married couple that manages the place is super helpful and friendly. Best selection of wine and beer around. I always have questions and both are helpful especially the guy. They had a bottle of wine I couldn’t find anywhere else. I also did a beer tasting there. They also have lots of snacks and non alcoholic drinks. Love this place!

Come here all the time and very happy the married couple took over because they are nice and helpful.

Great selection, nice location. Front and rear entrances. Lots of snacks and non alcoholic beverages also available.
The prices are fair. Most domestic beers are cheaper than Kroger.
My only complaint is that there is no liquor. Beer and wine only. Why is it so hard to find liquor in Columbus?

Awesome location and great selection. The manager is crazy knowledgeable and is highly accommodating. If they don’t have what your looking for he said he would be more than happy to get it for you.
Also worth mentioning that they have wine and beer tastings on Wednesdays!

simple and effective. great beer selection, snacks, even glassware. simple and accessible local take out watering hole. I owe many a great night on the porch to these guys.

Nice place to grab a good six-​pack, but don’t expect anyone to help you. The employees not only have no recommendations, but do not seem to even drink beer. Kind of a confusing situation really. But it still has a good selection, and it’s a much nicer environment than going down to the campus liquor stores to get your beer. They also stock a pretty good selection of wine, so in case your gluten-​free friends are not in the mood for cider, you can get them something else.

FOR BEER
Pretty decent selection. But dont expect any help or service… that all ended when Patrick left… when Patrick worked here, there was no question this was the best place to buy beer. Patrick could remember you preferences, make rock-​solid recommendation and do special orders too. And he would not had left if they had not mistreated him so badly.
Since Patrick left I hardly go here anymore.

great beer selection, the guy who works there is very nice, and has good recommendations. however, the prices are pretty steep! look at the prices carefully, I accidentally purchased a pretty pricey beer!

I love this place. Friendly faces. Fully stocked with great beer, wine, and snacks selection. Also have great porn mags. Everything here is great. My only problem is Patrick was the only person there with beer and wine knowledge. They need to hire someone who is knowledgable. Also… i was sad to see them get rid of the old cork floor from the previous owners. if they would have just put a coat of polyurethane down over it. oh well. at least they kept the old tv and old beer cans! Great place to buy beer and drinks if you live in clintonville! luv this place!

This carry out only sells dilute/​low proof ‘spirits’.

This is probably the largest, cleanest carry-​out that I’ve been to. They’ve got tons of beer and wine and snacks. And the owner is a very nice guy!

Life is fantastic when one is aware of your priorities.
Of course, when your priorities are BEER, there is absolutely no question — YOU NEED TO COME HERE.
There are a number of various liquor stores that carry beer and there are even fewer liquor stores that carry fine, microbrews. This is not the former. This is it, the big cheese, the #1 thumb glove.
Come inside, card at the ready, cash at the holster, and come, with open eyes. There are plenty standing at room temperature, plenty inside the fridge, and plenty that you’ll have never heard of, even if you have scoured and memorized the Big50 list that BeerAdvocate has pushed out.

Great corner store that has a friendly staff and an awesome selection of beer. All kinds of craft and seasonals, wines, and you can make your own six packs with singles. The staff, particularly one gentleman who seems to be there on Fridays and Saturdays, will suggest what you should try based on what you like. He introduced me to Old Rasputin which is amazing. They also have the staple beers for the more traditional beer drinkers. Bottom line: you should be a regular.

for a long time, i had been patronizing andy’s drive-​thru on friday and saturday nights, mainly because it was around the corner from a friend’s house and had a fairly good beer selection.
despite it being around the corner from my own house, i didn’t stop in to pace-​high until about a week ago, and now i am a convert.
the staff is extremely helpful and friendly — they will answer questions or suggest beer/​wine based on your personal preferences. i bought a bottle of freixenet to celebrate my boyfriend’s promotion (woohoo!) and while they didn’t have any chilled, my salesdude said he’d start putting a few more in the cooler than usual if i really enjoyed it. thanks guy !
they also have an epic beer selection with so many microbreweries that i was like a kid in a candy store (but you know, a kid OF AGE.) they also have two or three full cases of single bottles so you can build your own 6 pack, which is something i imagine i will be doing here often because i wanted to try so many different beers!
they also have a pretty good wine selection, and recommend asking if they have it in the cooler as well if its something that needs to be chilled. i was distracted by the coolers of beer, but it seemed like there was plenty of selection for anyone who makes the carryout their wine purchasing destination.
there are also snacks, lottery tickets, etc, but obviously my attention was focused on the task at hand — friday night beer.

this place used to be the best and worst of places. they were really bad about letting beer get warm and recooling it, so you would sometimes get skunky beer. at the same time, they had a fantastic selection of microbrews, one of the best selections in town, matter of fact. also, the owner was REALLY bad about ordering. on occasion he would allow the store to pretty much run dry. you would go in and there would be nothing on the shelves.
he finally sold it, and the place just reopened under new ownership. they remodeled and brought in new coolers. i am going today to visit it for the first time since it reopened. i’ll edit this review or post a new one with any noteworthy findings.
****UPDATE**** I don’t know if I can add a new review so I’ll just edit this one. I have gone since the new owners opened and here’s the scoop. The place is now MUCH cleaner and they appear to be much better about keeping the beer cold. It now looks, sadly, a lot like a normal carryout, rather than just a beer and wine carryout, although that’s just the décor/​ambiance. There are some snacks, but that’s about it.
The biggest letdown in the change of ownership is that you can no longer mix and match a six pack from any old where. They have a cooler specifically for singles and the selections are now much more limited in that regard. That’s a huge bummer if you used to come here to try new things one bottle at a time. The prices appear to be about the same.
