The walls wear playful signs and echoes of campus cheer, hinting at a place that honors its ties to Ohio State while maintaining its own unique, neighborhood spirit.

Promised myself we’d get here parents weekend after the extraordinary support Threes showed Buckeyes for a Safe Ohio State efforts, throughout the 2020-2021 crime spree on and off campus. Threes did not disappoint!! Go here for cheap drinks and college fun. All around a great bar. Highly recommend the tidal wave.

It was an improvement over Toos, and they had a craft tall boy for 4 bucks on game day. The bar has had some improvements from when the building was scarlet and gray. The quality of the bar now depends on who goes in the next coming months and if they have good specials for college students drinking during the week

Cool campus bar... Not too big, not too small... Quick service from the bartender, Sam! They have lots of shots, $10 bubbly & 40oz bottles of Bud heavy (Budweiser) along with lots of other choices! And they sell cool t-shirts!

Gotta love Three’s. This dive bar has the best prices, funniest signs and great experiences. DM the three’s bus for a free ride to the bar! Don’t forget to get your friends wet with a tidal wave shot!

Love this place. Very open layout and a great atmosphere. The live music at night is something that's hard to find around campus, and they don't charge a cover fee! What!?! That was awesome. The beer is ice cold and cheap and they have specials nearly every day. Was recommended by a friend to ask for a tidal wave shot. It's the most refreshing shot I've ever had, 10/10 would also recommend. The staff there are extremely friendly. Had one of the most engaging conversations with the bouncers that was understandably cut short because of the sea of people that rushed in. Definitely my favorite bar, they'll definitely be seeing me back weekly

Booked the private space behind the stage for a birthday celebration. It was an awesome experience! You get your own bartender so getting drinks is super fast. There was also other staff that made sure we were happy and that only invited guests were in the space. Would definitely recommend for events.
