8 Best Brewpubs near Columbia

Reckless Shepherd Brewing Co. Brewpubs • $$
8895 McGaw Rd, Columbia

“We planned a surprise birthday celebration with coworkers at this location, which is usually spacious with plenty of available seating. However, on the day of our celebration, there happened to be four events going on—something we didn’t anticipate based on our past visits.

Upon arrival, I spoke with the restaurant manager, Alex, who was incredibly accommodating. He assured us that he would help if the community tables weren’t enough to seat our group comfortably by restaurant side. Alex and his team went above and beyond—assisting but also graciously accepting an early cake delivery and storing it in the fridge for us.

We had an amazing time and can’t thank the staff enough for their attentiveness and support with all the little details throughout our visit. Kids also had a blast.

Highly recommended!“

“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.“
