18 Best Bars in Columbia

“Hosted us for a super 30th birthday, all staff were super nice and our guests loved the nacho bar ~ taco bar~ churros“

“Great place to hang with your dog!“

“The food was delicious and great prices. I enjoyed the unique selection of wing flavors. The mumbo sauce wings were so nostalgic and comforting. I absolutely loved the hot mustard wings, too.

The service sadly was awful. The bartender was alone having to serve the bar, restaurant, and outside. She did not have the right demeanor to handle that. She was very short with the patrons and picked and chose who she paid attention to. We were prepared to order more food but after hoping desperately for attention for over 20 minutes we gave up.

The atmosphere could be super cool. Unfortunately during our visit several couples came in and let their young children run around the bar and patio area while they blissfully drank and chatted. One child was sat at a table alone with a tablet.

I definitely encourage everyone to go enjoy the food and great values. Just be prepared for not so great service.“

“I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and tater tots, with spinach on the side. The tots were a little too crispy for me and there was too much oil on the spinach. However, they tasted fine, so not a big enough issue to complain about. The meatloaf sandwich was tasty. It has two thinner than expected slices of meatloaf, which worked perfectly. Better than one thick slice. The ratio of bread to meat was great in my opinion. You're not overly stuffed after eating this meal either. I have also had the Shrimp and Grits here previously and that is a definite recommendation.“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“I enjoyed both of my visits over this past weekend. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was great. Can’t wait to make my way back so that I can go again.“

“Because of the closeness to home our sons had taking us for Dinner it was GREAT Place! my husband and myself go there occasionally!“

“karaoke on a busy Friday night at peak hour....was not a great choice. the vibes were way different than what we came for...“

“It’s a new place serving a new demographic, and for only being open about two months, they’re doing fairly well overall.

Most issues were operational. We were given a happy hour menu after the hours had passed, there was a small order mix-up that staff corrected quickly, and we waited a while for the bill. Arrival was also slightly confusing since the mall entrance was closed and we had to locate a rear entrance on our own.

Food-wise, the sashimi was average, the miso soup solid (4/5), and the snow crab roll was excellent and easily the highlight.

Overall, a good experience with some normal early growing pains. I enjoyed it, though it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way to recommend just yet.“

“I don’t typically write reviews, good or bad, however our experience at Xenia on Oct 12th has changed my mind. We were in the area from Boston just for the night and learned of Xenia through our hotels concierge. It was amazing and probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was outstanding and prepared beautifully. We had the Spanikopita, Greek salads, shrimp saganaki, and lamb riblets. All very tasty and expertly prepared. What really did it though was the on point service offered by Mary (Maris). Her efficiency, attention to details, thoughtful presentation of the menu, was a 15 out of 10! She is a super star! We were delightfully surprised by the restaurant’s generous hospitality when they sent us a dessert sampler compliments of the house because we were out of state first timers. I only wish weren’t 5+ hours away, as we would be fast regulars for sure!“

“Five stars for Frisco and the Reckless Shepherd Brew Pub! The Mushroom/Truffle Oil Pizza and Chef Salad were excellent! Super staff. We also enjoyed Trivia Night with family members during our visit to Columbia, Maryland. Easy parking; spacious; casual environment; lots of screens for entertainment. Indoor/outdoor seating.“

“This is the place to get true DOC, Napolitano pizza. One bite and I was taken back to my time in Naples. The buffalo mozzarella tasted very fresh. The dough was perfect (thin, crisp underneath and soft inside). I'll be sure to take a picture next time. The pizza didn't last long enough for a photo. The quality, texture and authenticity of the pizza made me forget that this is a restaurant chain. A must try.“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“The service is great and the food is good.
Really enjoyed the pork belly over corn. The pork loin entree is also good. I'd recommend getting the honey ginger glaze on the side because I tend to put too much.

The Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare is a nice pasta dish. If you're not a fan of baby octopus you might ask them to leave them out.

The house salad with blue cheese is good, chicken wings.

I've had mixed reviews on the peppercorn ribeye.“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“1st time visiting the Turn House and it for sure was one of the best restaurant/Happy hour experiences I've had in a while..our waitress Ciara was beyond exceptional..from the moment she started our table waiton to the very end she was more than attentive, quick and extremely friendly...In addition to our delicious fare Ciara's hospitality definitely made the Turn House a great choice!“

“Finally, some flavor! Not the same basic food. Yom“

“Love this restaurant. Yummy tacos. Great location in short walking distance to the fabulous outdoor Merriweather Post Pavilion music venue.“
