House of Spirits - Marysville, Ohio

H

A small bar in the lower level of a house - decorated handsomely with subdued lighting and dotted with antiques here and there. Clean single person restroom, 70s rock and pop playing quietly.

Here I tried several cocktails including a roulette (bartenders choice).

All of my drinks were fantastic. I appreciate the commitment to craft. I had the easter special which is velvety and fresh. A 'radioactive', is tangy, bursting with fruit.

Honestly my only recommendations would be service, as I would have to signal that I would like another drink or to pay my tab, when I had been sitting some time waiting with multiple folks behind the bar. However all staff was so nice and I will definitely return.

Whoever decorated may be interested by the aesthetic period in interior design. I like what theyve done with the place.

I’ve been here a dozen times. I always look forward to coming back but the service has declined drastically. Waiting 20 minutes for either of the bartenders to notice an empty glass is brutal. The bar isn’t that busy bartenders are talking and paying no attention to the guests that aren’t regulars. It was odd. One thing I admired is the attention to detail they used to have now your glasses have watermarks. Not sure what changed but I’m probably just gonna give this place a break for a while. Which is a shame because the atmosphere and food is great.

We love it so much at HoS that we decided to get married there. Best cocktails in Marysville and surrounding area, including Columbus. Love the staff and ambiance as well.

Very cool atmosphere and a really good selection of bourbon and other whiskeys. Including their own store picks. Which I found very tasty. The prices are very reasonable. The mixed drinks are very good as well.

The vibe is amazing, they come up with a new menu every season! The owner works behind the bar and you need to ask him about the drinks, I swear he has the most creative brain when it comes to it. 10/10 recommend, it’s definitely an experience

Gorgeous inside but staff was rude and hostile. It was so strange. I just came in for a gift card and they wouldn’t talk to me.

First time visiting and drove 50 minutes to get there. The decor and atmosphere are spot on for this stately house. We very much enjoyed the unique cocktails. The food menu is limited, but everything was delicious (a little longer cook on the flatbread would be nice). The quality was better than expected for a lounge. Unfortunately, the bar service was disappointing. I would have thought there would be more staff for an "event" evening. We would have stayed longer and spent more if it didn't take 20+ minutes standing at the bar each time we ordered drinks. The bartender never made eye contact or acknowledged us until we said something. A simple smile and "I'll be right with you" goes a long way. Instead, she was defensive. Obviously she was overworked and that's on management. I understand good specialty cocktails take time and adequate staff (up front and in back). Maybe we'll try again, but not when they have an advertised event.

Cute little place! Very classy. We stopped in for a couple of gimlets.
