Marysville's The Half Pint closes after nine years

MARYSVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Marysville bar home to an extensive tap list and a burger topped with peanut butter and jelly has closed less than six months after its sister bar in Dublin also shuttered.

The Half Pint at 211 E. Fifth St. in Marysville is "closed until further notice," according to a Feb. 3 social media post. The bar first opened in 2016 and was the flagship spin-off location for The Pint Room at 4415 W. Dublin Granville Road in Dublin, which permanently closed last fall after 12 years in business.

The Marysville pub featured about 40 beers on draft, alongside a selection of wine and cocktails. The bar's menu included sandwiches, soups, salads and burgers like the "PBB & J" burger topped with peanut butter, strawberry preserves, Monterey jack and bacon on a brioche bun.

The Half Pint in Marysville had stood as the brand's last location. A bar under The Pint Room name opened in Carmel, Indiana, in 2014, but then closed in late 2023. The brand also launched several other Half Pint spin-offs in and around central Ohio.

The Half Pint's Worthington location closed in December 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has since been taken over by Worthington Tavern. The Half Pint in the Arena District was also impacted by the pandemic and shuttered in 2020, replaced by Moran's Bar and Grille.
