Drinks

Bourbon - classy, speakeasy type of feel with great craft cocktails. Has two sides-- one for drinks and one for food & drinks

Hall's - long bar in the front and small, intimate bar further back. Fabulous cocktails and top notch service

Prohibition - new to Columbia, but making a big impact. Delicious drinks and live music in a dark environment

Hendrix - interesting cocktail combinations in an indoor or outdoor setting. Sit at the bar inside the second level of the historic Columbia building or venture to the third floor for a rooftop experience

Goat's - long list of craft cocktails (all are fantastic), curated beer and wine selection in an equally artistically curated space topped off with mood lighting

Publico - great for a casual stop in when you're craving a beer or margarita

Home Team - my go-to during football season. Good beer selection and great cocktails and frozen drinks

The Aristocrat - two-sided historic Columbia building with craft cocktails and jazz inside

Art Bar - great beer selection. Late night food and drinks inside or on the patio

Bierkeller - fresh, traditionally brewed German beers in a Bierhalle setting on the river

Steel Hands Brewery (Cayce)  - my favorite brewery in town. Great rotating list of beers with interesting flavors. The coffee lager is a must-try. Good food, too!

Savage Craft - in a historic train station, you'll find various freshly brewed beers, but I go for the cocktails. Take your pick of sitting outdoors, inside, or on the rooftop facing the city

Black Rooster - rooftop views of the river looking toward downtown Columbia paired with craft cocktails

WeCo Biergarten - no-frills Biergarten with a family feel
