What a fabulous restaurant to have in German Village. Excellent food, service, ambience, splendid outdoor patio, complimentary valet parking and more await you at Lindey's.
The perfect venue for your special event. Many lovely rooms upstairs and down as well as delightful outdoor options.
Numerous friends of mine have said that Lindey's is their favorite restaurant experience of any place locally or across the country. It is truly special and we are blessed to have it within the bricks of German Village. Kyle Haines

The new 2nd story outside patio.
The lovely 3 level fountain in the middle of the courtyard.

Here is the very tasty Crab & Egg - Jumbo lump blue crab cake, sunny side egg, spinach and hash browns with cajun hollandaise served attractively on the mini cast iron pan, perfectly paired with the Fume Blanc Ferrari-Carano white wine. Happiness!

Lindey’s opened at Beck and Mohawk 39 years ago. And it consistently ranks among Columbus’ “Top 10” restaurants. Todd Cumbow, managing partner and his staff are looking forward to their 40th anniversary and beyond … and, of course, many more “Best of Columbus” lists.

Sue Doody
Sue Doody, who had no experience operating a restaurant, opened Lindey’s on June 2, 1981. She would continue to operate it – later with her family – until her death from cancer in April 2018.
Below is a link to a 41-minute interview I did with Sue Doody in 2017, not long before her death.

Lindey’s Doors
When urban renewal claimed a number of homes and businesses north of today’s German Village, a few visionaries stepped in to save wrought iron, fireplace mantles, decorative woodwork and handcrafted doors.
The exterior doors on “today’s” Lindey’s were salvaged from a downtown building called the “Alcorn Mansion,” which may have also housed medical offices. It sat about where you’ll find Grant Hospital’s parking garage.
Lindey’s – Abt 1890
169 East Beck Street opened about 1890 as a saloon started by local judge Henry Olnhausen. Over the years, it has housed at least two saloons, a hardware store and at least three restaurants.
