8 Best Brewpubs near Columbia

“A 5 star casual dining environment!

We found ourselves in the area around lunch and decided to stop in at the Reckless Shepard. I’ve heard several people refer it but hadn’t gone myself until now. For casual dining, this spot is great. Spacious and airy, it boasts several long high tops, two seater high tops for a more intimate feel, bar seating and an area for a private party.
There is a stage with ample lighting to make any night of the week; the best night. Multiple projectors spanned the room with a soft glow coming from the big distillery room. The ambience was really cool. We certainly appreciated the 90’s nostalgic playlist of music videos playing just loud enough to know your songs but continue your conversation.

We ordered a pizza, fries, wings, latkes, and a Cobb salad to go with our margarita, hazy IPA, and blue motorcycle. Everything was fresh and hot and savory. The drinks were delicious and well portioned! You scan for the menu and add your items so we only experienced the server when food was brought out but he was super nice still.
I loved the sauce on the pizza, light and tomatoey and savory as well!

The bathrooms were large and clean and the parking was ample for a Friday. We would certainly consider hosting an event or celebration here!“

“I felt like I was eating pizza at Buddy’s in Detroit. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the brussels sprouts, AWESOME. My food was delivered and was delicious. I look forward to actually going to the tap room and trying other things on the menu. Did I say the food was awesome?😎“

“Food is great. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is local and welcoming“

“Met family for a late lunch and were instantly impressed by our server. Everyone raved about their burgers and fries, and the salad and cheese pizza were very tasty. We will definitely be back. The only disappointment was that flights weren’t available, but our beer choices were great.“

“Friendly service and great food! Our bartender was super sweet and took great care of us. Staff answered all of our menu questions with ease. My boyfriend loved the pierogi! Kind of a hole in the wall and out of our way, but we'll definitely make the trip every once in a while.“

“A massive thank you to Bare Bones for catering our Homecoming event! They were an absolutely huge help and made the entire food preparation process so incredibly easy for our committee. Everything was organized, delivered perfectly, and most importantly, delicious! Their efficiency and professionalism truly allowed us to focus on the event itself. We highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and delicious catering!“

“Awesome beer, friendly staff, delicious food, owners are very cool and kind. Looking forward to coming back!“

“First time we went the Flatbread and fries were awesome. This time we tried the Aged Waygu, it was ok, definitely not worth the $200 bill. Overcooked, not very flavorful, maybe the chef was having a bad kitchen day. Wouldn’t mind trying something else, maybe next time.“
