Chicken wings have been in the Ohio capital’s DNA for a long time. In 1982, The franchise of all chicken wing franchises, Buffalo Wild Wings, was founded in Columbus as “Buffalo Wings & Weck.” As “B-Dubs” or “BW-3” (what some locals still call it today) took off, so did the wing scene in the 14th most populous city in the U.S. Whether you’re a local or visiting this great Midwest city for the weekend, here are a few chicken wing places to fill your wing craving.

#4 Barley’s Brewing Company

When: Wednesday

The special: .55 cent wings. *Ranch and blue cheese are .50 cents additional.

What to expect: Barley’s unconventional, grilled wings come in a variety of flavors (BBQ, sweet chili, buffalo, chipotle, gates of hell) and dry rubs (salt and vinegar, hot honey, chili lime). You can order them tossed or with the sauce on the side. Their wings tend to score high in meatiness and can be classified as “fall off the bone” wings. Super tender, not much effort required to separate the meat from the bone. All around a clean wing. Great beer selection, too.
