Brewery Profile

Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus

In downtown Columbus, a visitor walking into Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus finds a brewpub rather than a production taproom or warehouse-style beer hall. The setting is part of the experience: the address on North High Street places it close to major hotels and city-center attractions, while the building dates to 1897 and retains a historic atmosphere. The business has operated as a brewery and restaurant for more than twenty years, giving it a long-running role in the local beer landscape. Its format is built around full-service dining, house-brewed beer, spirits, draft cocktails, and sodas, so the first impression is of a broad downtown hospitality stop with brewing folded into the restaurant.

Travelers in central Ohio often look for a beer stop that can work around a larger day in the city, whether that means a meal before an event, a drink after sightseeing, or a place where not everyone has to order the same kind of beverage. This brewpub fits that pattern because the beverage program is not limited to beer, even though the beer served there is brewed on-site. The historic building also gives the visit a different character from newer industrial taprooms, with the emphasis falling on the combination of setting, food, and drinks. Seasonal menus are part of the operation, so the experience may vary depending on when a guest visits, particularly for those interested in pairing a meal with the current house beers.

The practical appeal is its downtown address at 161 North High Street, which makes it a straightforward option for visitors staying nearby or moving between central Columbus attractions. Because it operates as a full-service restaurant as well as a brewery, guests can plan on more than a quick tasting-room stop, though current hours, seating, reservations, and the day’s specific pours should be confirmed directly before going. The taproom or restaurant staff are the best source for what beers are available that day, as well as any current draft cocktails, sodas, or seasonal food items. For beer-focused visitors, the key detail is simple: the beers poured there are brewed on-site, so a stop offers a direct look at what this longstanding downtown brewpub is making for its own bar and dining room.

Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus operates a brewpub specializing in fine food, spirits, and an expansive beverage program that includes house-brewed beers, draft cocktails, and sodas. Located at 161 North High Street in downtown Columbus, the establishment has been operating as a brewery and restaurant for over twenty years, situated near major hotels and attractions. The building itself dates back to 1897, maintaining a historical atmosphere that informs the current operation's focus on craftsmanship and seasonal menus. All beers served are brewed on-site, complementing a full-service restaurant experience that caters to both local patrons and visitors to the city center.
