The best way to describe Hubbard Grille, the newest restaurant to open in the Short North, is “unscripted,” says General Manager Daniel Morris. Morris would like for people to think of Hubbard Grille as a place that they can come and create their own unique experiences.

Hubbard Grille prides itself on being a place that isn’t set to a certain kind of feel or a certain type of guest, but a place for everyone: the PBR drinker eating black and tan onion rings or the person ordering a bottle of wine and a filet.

The menu is filled with polished American classics that are sure to please.  “We are serious about the food, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. The food is approachable but well thought out,” says Morris.  The restaurant features private tier tap tables which allow customers to operate the taps, serve themselves, and get a digital read of how much they have drank right at their table.  Located upstairs is a lounge area overlooking the tables below in addition to a private dining area which can be rented for customers to relax and enjoy.

Taste Hospitality had a strong desire to open Hubbard Grille in the Short North for a while, so naturally when the space became available it felt right to open. “The bar is set really high in the Short North- we’re in the big leagues now. The people here do what they do very well,” says Morris, who was anxious to be a part of the Short North community. Hubbard Grille is thrilled to be in the Short North and complement its’ neighbors while offering something very unique.

Morris says the best part about opening in the Short North are his fellow Short North Business owners. “We are extremely proud to be a part of this neighborhood. We’ve had nothing but great experiences and have been very welcomed,” says Morris. The welcoming effort has been so great, in fact, that Hubbard Grille is now working with Middle West Spirits, Le Chocoholique, and Vino 100 to feature OYO vodka and chocolates on the menu. Vino 100 and HG will offer monthly wine or beer tastings as well.

Morris would like to especially thank Le Chocoholique, Middle West Spirits, Vino 100, Da Levee, Press Grill, The Rossi, The Wood Companies and DCI for the amount of time, insight and support they have shared with him.
