31 Best Bars in Columbia

“It has the decor of a dive bar (lots of posters), because that's pretty much what it is. But dive bars can be fun, and this one schedules good bands and fun events. I wouldn't order a martini from here, but grab a beer and catch a band or two.“

“Said it was open 12-5, but closed at 4:00“

“Last night we witnessed a patron of this establishment behave extremely rudely when the wine shops internet was preventing the bartenders from running customers tabs and one of the two bartenders was trying to get the problem fixed with the internet company. Not only was he rude, but he jumped up and down and was waving his arms like a small child wanting attention. The individual was the previous one star review by a Mr. Burns. He was jumping around and waving his hands wanting service despite the obvious issues going on. Myself and others waiting were discussing his behavior and how horribly he was treating the staff who were doing the best they could with an unfortunate hiccup. Top 10 Wines is a great place and I really wish I had stepped up and spared the staff this individuals rude berating. This place is our favorite spot in town. Best wine selection in town, patio for nice weather, cozy for cold weather and very knowledgeable about wine and spirits. Just be kind!“

“Great food, very nice restaurant, and wonderful service! Thanks to our amazing waitress, Brie! We will be back when we come to Columbia again!!“

“Great service and atmosphere.“

“What a wonderful find. I stumbled on this bar in the lower level of The Tiger hotel. It has an upscale speakeasy feel, but with no password or invitation required. The cocktails were great and the bartenders were up to the challenge of making unique drinks. Can not wait to visit again.“

“Chris Mc D's has the best gourmet food in Mid-Missouri...or maybe anywhere. On a recent visit, we met our server, Joe. He was so knowledgeable about the food and how it was cooked, that I ,wondered if he had been standing elbow-to-elbow with the CHEF, who has my highest regards. Joe explained to us how all the seafood is FLOWN IN fresh. This speaks very highly both of Chris Mc D's and Joe, who knew and cared to share this information with us. A solid 5 stars for this restaurant!“

“The chef was really kind, I ordered a rare burger and he wanted to see if it was any good because nobody ordered it that way before! Very fun and kind chef. Also not a lot of resturants in Columbia have fresh celery and carrots so I liked it a lot.“

“Patio is glorious and service and food is great!“

“This is a fun place to visit. The two pianos plus drummer are a great mix. You will quickly find yourself joining in the sing-alongs having a great time. As is typical at piano bars, you can make requests (don't forget to add a tip), so go ahead and request your favorite songs.“

“This is the most unique bar I’ve ever been to. What other bar has 70+ shots that offer something different?Genuinely, I’ve never been somewhere that’s been so true to their name. Also an incredibly helpful staff. They always somehow know what I haven’t tried yet. Almost like they know me on a personal basis.10/10 recommend this establish if you want a different experience from the normal boring bar scene.“

“Amazing food! The Mac n cheese and corn are UH-MAZING.“
