Station 1

Great beer selection. The bartender was a little surley and refused to change the TV from the WNBA all-​star game to anything else…

Usually my go to because of beer selection. I haven’t been to many bars in Springfield so I’m not sure if others have Arrogant Bastard and Dales Pale Ale on tap but Station does so that’s basically the reason I enjoy it. The crowd can be iffy. Usual Wittenberg students but I don’t go to socialize with strangers, though it tends to happen frequently. Most are friendly. The staff is great. The bartender ‘House’ is great. They have a touchscreen jukebox and most of the time there is shitty music playing but I’ve gotten used to it. Overall it’s a decent place to grab a drink. I also recommend the jalapeño poppers

Ended up leaving after sitting ourselves and not seeing any waitstaff and only one bartender who didn’t even acknowledge us.
Maybe it’s one of those places where the locals know how to order and get service, but we took our business elsewhere.
Place seemed clean and like it could’ve had a good atmosphere with a stage out back for music, two bars, and inside and outside seating, and food we saw on a table as we were walking out looked tasty, but service and hospitality left a lot to be desired.

This is my local bar that my boyfriend, friends, family and pretty much everyone goes to. The pizza is great and the craft beer selection is good too. Just be careful ordering a draft beer that isn’t poured too often because the lines usually get backed up and it comes out funky. I just wish that I was cleaner and better kept up with. Whenever I use the bathroom, it’s usually out of toilet paper or someone threw up in the sink. Come on Springfield, let’s get it together.

Management and most of the staff are lacking class and professionalism. Food is bad. Stay away.

They have upgraded their beer selections tremendously with a great mix of styles and craft breweries. I haven’t tried food so this is based on their beer only.
This is the best craft beer bar in Springfield!

Our visit to this establishment was terrible. Everything we tried to order, they were out of, from wings to beer to liquor, and to top it off, the bartender, who was drinking on the job, was extremely rude and provided us with lack-​luster, slow service. When we played music on the jukee-​box, she would turn the volume up really high for songs she had played, then turn it way down for our songs! The food was terrible, too. We will not be returning.

Freindly bartenders… and one must admit finding a pool table in Springfield, Ohio… that isnt covered in scuffs and/​or missing pool balls is hard to come by…

I wish I could like Station 1 more considering it is within easy walking distance from my apartment. I am a recent graduate of Wittenberg college and I have certainly had some good times there, but only during college event days like St. Patricks day, homecoming or Wittfest. Unfortunately the bar is usually crowded by a much older crowd that makes me uncomfortable. If you just want lunch and a beer its great – get a pizza, sit on the gorgeous patio overlooking the river, etc – but if you’re looking to party at a local bar and you’re under 40 you should probably avoid this particular one. They occasionally have live performances (on the aforementioned, very nice back patio) which I can hear clearly from my back porch. These bands are of the wailing, passé, pop-​rock variety. Nickelback covers… shudder…
I hate that the creepy, older-​drinking atmosphere pervades late night Station since the only alternative, McMurrays Irish Pub, is a haven of sloppy, underage freshmen drinking. They’re each a little sad in their own way, though I choose the former over the latter any day. At least Station 1 has a tasty, hot veggie pizza.
P. S. The parking situation is a little peculiar… you can park across the street next to the pawn shop if the front lot is full.

I’m a fan. I don’t venture into Springfield much, but this seems like a pretty solid place. A great summer place, as they can open up the walls and there is a pretty awesome patio in the back. They book some pretty sweet bands too, when I went The Menu’s were playing. Pretty stellar band and I had a great time.
Everytime I go there seems to be a good crowd. The alcohol isn’t tooe expensive and they have a decent selection on draft.

Being a recent graduate, I miss this place more than anything. Compared the the other local bar «McMurray’s» the crowd here is down to earth and not thirsty for late night hook-​ups (even if it might happen). The Juke Box always plays good music, mostly because the ppl here have good taste and the selection is great anyways. The bar is for upperclassmen who just want to chill and get good drinks and share libations with bar tenders and each other. On the weekends, there are rarely any «townies», but if there are, they are super nice and old enough that they don’t hit on every creature that walks in. All in all, Station 1 is great. During the weekdays, come take a stroll for good food, esp the make your own subs and of course… the pizza!
