8 Best Bars near Columbia

“My review of the City Hotel and What Cheer Saloon is FANTASTIC! The atmosphere takes you back to the gold rush days, and the food is as good as it gets. This is the Golden Ticket." The kobe beef burger with snake river candied bacon is next level. It's as good of a hamburger as you will eat anywhere!“

“I would of given a five start but a hair come out in my wife's plate!!! Kinda cut our vibe down and couldn't enjoy food the same!! But food is delicious and I know the owner personally and their costumer service is amazing so we will be back to try another dish.“

“Never had the chance to try any food options, however, this is the cleanest and most modern luxury lounge in the county. Miner's Lounge specializes in Craft Special Drinks and has a nice selection of draft and bottled beer. All rustic wood and brick walls with high end leather furniture and wall to wall Screens for multiple sporting events, a luxury in wall electric fire place and bar sports like shuffle puck and corn hole in their banquet room gives lots of options for a nice date or hanging with friends. Got to see it!Parking: Downtown Angel's Camp Parking can be challenging depending on current events.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible from the back alley.“

“New owner is great! Such a friendly easy going atmosphere. They let us bring our dog in (with permission) and the selection is wonderful. I’ll definitely be back not just for the drinks but for the conversation and chill vibes. You guys are awesome!“

“Last August, I visited Camp Angel and Murphys with 4 friends, I discovered this little wine bar, and my fellow traveler said he could drive for me, so I had a cup of beer, it tasted so beautiful. So it was so much fun to find this unforgettable place on my map a year later...“

“We are frequent visitors of the Bourbon Barrel and it gets better each time. Great drinks and surprisingly amazing food. I've had almost every item on their menu and nothing has disappointed. The brie cheese dish is a must try! The only problem is that it's gone too quickly. Excited to see how the expansion turns out with the large outdoor patio!!“

“Went in over the weekend. Bartender was amazing! I asked for an Aperol Spritz which he was not familiar with and was willing to google or whatever he needed to do to make me happy. I went with a glass of sparkling wine instead. Great experience. Amazing what great service will do for your business.“

“This corner bar just changed it's name it's now The Gold Digger. It's easy to find and remember because it's on a corner right next door to the visitor information center witch is always a good stop with its clean modern restrooms. This town while known for it's gold was really catapulted to famous status for it it's frog jumping contest "Calaveras county" Highway 49's winding roads and occasional traffic can tire a person. So take a break and stop here as I've done on 3 trips now. Our bartender Raylenae was friendly and engaging in conversation as were the other locals sitting at the bar and have been on every stop I have made there. Why the 5 stars? The bar is not fancy. It's not going to make you feel like you're living the lifestyles of the rich and famous. But I wasn't expecting that. And as long as the bar doesn't have that stale beer smell and the bathrooms are clean it passes the first test. Next do you get the stare down like you've invaded private local territory. And last do they buy the cheapest rum and vodka for the well. With rum so cheep I don't get why so many bars do that. If you make it through those test you're well on the way to finding a good bar. This bar passes the test and is one of those rare places where the community comes together to discuss Community items, it's a place where friends come together after a day of working. And from what I see they are willing to accept strangers as friends. When you stop here don't mess up a good thing. Treat these people with respect. Because my short time with them they've always been a memorable and enjoyable part of my trips. Mel and Linda“
