Always a great selection of beers at reasonable prices. Always friendly services and willing to answer any questions. I am in Columbus maybe 1 per year and I always make a stop here.

Kenny Road Market (aka the beer zone) is the top spot in central Ohio for an endless selection of beers, porno and uhauls! Seriously though, always an excellent selection of local and national beers and friendly faces. Don't forget get to pick up a pack of the world's greatest gummy bears on the way out!

I have lived in UA all of my life and have visited Kenny Road Market over the years for their outstanding selection of beers. However, after visiting Kenny Road Market for the last year on a regular basis, I have to say that there is one particular woman cashier during the day that is very nasty, rude, and not pleasant at all. People do not need this type of abuse from a carry out cashier when they are purchasing a product from this establishment! I have stayed away from Kenny Road Market for several months due to this cashier, but have recently returned to purchase beer and she is still just as rude, nasty, and unpleasant as ever! The owner of Kenny Road Market should get rid of this abusive cashier woman!

Until now, the shabby outside hid an amazing selection on the inside. Within the past year, they've vastly expanded the amount of cooler space and re-arranged things inside. Now they're working on the outside.
There's a great selection of craft beers from all over with a couple of cases dedicated to Columbus and other Ohio brews. The people know beer and, if you're looking for something new, they'll help with recommendations.
The Kenny Road Market also rents trucks (really), sell snacks, and have a selection of "adult" magazines (wink, wink). There's a pizza shop in the building and I'm told that it's pretty good, but I haven't tried it. Although it's mainly a beer store, you'll find some wines, too.
Fortunately, it's (almost) on my way home.

Nice place. Huge selection. Friendly staff.
If I could change ONE THING about this place, it would be their selection of singles. They have very few singles and make-your-own-six-pack available, making much of their "huge" selection nearly useless.
They will usually have what you are looking for (or something similar), however, if you are into trying all kinds of new beers that come out... (and who isn't?)... you cannot buy them individually here, which is my only knock on an otherwise outstanding store.

Neighborhood market, nothing special on the outside. But what a fantastic selection of craft beers! Many singles, domestic and import, lots of Ohio-brewed beers. Knowledgeable staff, and most of the patrons seemed to be craft aficionados. Pleasant shopping experience. I even found Sahti and Braggot there. 'Nuff said!

A hard to find place. Seemed somewhat dirty and scattered. The selection was very good and they emphasis craft beer though. I recommend, just don't mind the area.

Best convenience store selection in the area with plenty of craft beers, still outdone by the larger supermarkets in the area, however.

In January of 2015 I bought a 3 pack of Chimay and when I opened it at home I saw it was brewed in 2011 but the store refused to refund my money or to replace the beer.
It is a real low class looking place with a large domestic beer selection but apparently they are not interested in making sure that their stock is not outdated.
Stay away from them!

Decent selection of stuff, divided into aisles and coolers. Most beers are available both cold and on the shelf, which is nice. A bit dingy on the inside, doesn't look like much from the outside, either. The standard selection of Ohio brews and the beers one can get in Ohio. They seem to carry the good stuff behind the counter. I asked if they had any Three Floyds, they said they just ran out of Gumbalhead, but had Blakkr, which I happily bought along with a 6er of White Rajah. Good service and upselling, for sure. Prices were reasonable, middle of the road.

This place has an amazing selection, supposedly the best in the Columbus area. As an out-of-towner, I sought it out based on word-of-mouth reputation, and I was not disappointed. The stocked all kinds of stuff that I can't get in my home state of West Virginia; for example, Thirsty Dog's Bourbon Barrel-Aged Siberian Night by the case. Highly recommended and worth going out of your way to find.

This store has one of the better beer selections in Columbus. I have tried a ton of new beer through them, and they can even request a beer if you know what you are looking for. Their snacks section is solid if you need some munchies. They also frequently have fancy beer mugs, glasses and shot glasses for really cheap. I got a Jim Beam engraved glass for a dollar and one of my coolest shot glasses for $1.50

As many of the reviewers said, you wouldn't know it from the looks, but an excellent selection and variety of beer. Went here on Beer Advocate's recommendation as an out-of-town visitor to get some other regional microbrews and was pleasantly surprised. The employee helped me walk through many recommendations and spent the time to answer all of my questions. Staff very helpful and knowledgable also. Great choice in Columbus. Our last few beer tasting nights have been much more enjoyable thanks to the Kenny Road Market.

I really enjoyed coming here. I'm new to the Columbus area and from the Kenny Road Market image I was actually a little nervous as it looked like it might be in a "ghetto" part of town. I was pleasantly surprised to find it in a nice neighborhood and not run down at all.
I'm relatively new to the craft beer world (6 months and going or so) so, to me, the selection was extensive. I've been making my way through Rogue stuff and they had a few things I hadn't seen anywhere else. James, the store clerk, is amazing. He knows his stuff inside and out and likes to chat. Don't pop in here if you're in a hurry as he is really knowledgeable and turned me on to quite a few things I have never heard of.
Having been to just about every store on the Beer Advocate list, I'd have to say that this and Andersons are my two favorites. Since I'm still refining my tastes and finding out what I do and don't like, I like having the ability to mix sixes and grab bombers. Kenny Road Market had probably the largest selection of bombers I've ever seen.
Definitely worth checking out!
