29 Best Cocktail Bars near West Columbia

“A friend and I have regular dinner dates at Terra and we always have a great time! Tonight we had the shishito peppers, Chinese pork belly, snapper and the braised lamb pappardelle followed by the olive oil cake with sweet cream eggplant ice cream. We both agreed it was one of our top meals over the past several years at Terra and cannot wait until our next date! Quality, consistency and service are always top notch, and the one time we tried another restaurant for our date night we totally regretted it and went right back to Terra for our next meetup. Thank you Terra for being so reliable and delivering some of the best bites in the area, you are our gem!“

“Lovely atmosphere, great owners, pool tables, food and bartenders. Highly recommend to the people in the west columbia area“

“The food and drinks are amazing and such a cool atmosphere.“

“One of the best restaurants I've tried in Columbia. Food was amazing and everything seemed made with care from fresh ingredients (which is hard to find in restaurants around here!). The shrimp and grits was hands down the best I've had in Columbia, Hunter Gatherer's was a close second place. Will definitely be going back!

Pro tip: you can park at the bank parking lot behind the building for free!

Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't bring my kids, not because it's roughty or loud...but it's unusual to see children there. Kind of a mature adult vibe. I'm pretty sure my kids would embarrass me.“

“Ilona was an amazing server! We loved her energy and humor.
She walked us through the menu and I changed my order decision based on her explanation of the menu. Ended up getting the eggs benny trifecta and it was delicious. Really liked the pork on the Benedict, really flavorful. Eggs were the perfect done-ness.
They don’t joke when they say things are sweet, so be prepared for that. But I got the savory dish, so it wasn’t and issue for me.“

“the owner is awesome and does so much to help a lot of people in the community and her story is just so much and so many times Untold about that. truly a great place to go with a feel like home atmosphere. I enjoy it there myself because it is home for me as I'm sure it is for a lot of other people.“

“If your are looking for a nice laid back spot that is different from the norm yes this is it. Yet the food is amazing, best philly and wings I can think of. I’m a country boy and they even have hotdogs one they the best in town.“

“The view was great, and I really enjoyed the glass windows since it was SO COLD outside. It was a great spot to watch ? fireworks and have some drinks, but the service was extremely slow. I've never waited so long for a drink in my entire life. The second bartender came in and poured our whiskey we asked for over 20 minutes before. I'm in the hospitality business so...I'm very understanding, but wow. There were maybe 10 people in there when we got there on New years Eve. Wasn't busy. Mind you, it was still very early. They lose out on ALOT of money and tips by being so slow and inattentive. It could be a gem. When I told the 3 people at the front desk, they needed help upstairs. (we had one drink and went somewhere else to spend New years due to slow service, and the crowd was getting bigger... yikes. ) they said yeah people like coming here since its one of the only places open (wrong).... it was empty downstairs. If you think this is busy...go to naples florida. Lol, get some better bartender that enjoys getting big tips. The man behind the bar was great. He helped us... and everyone else tremendously. Without him, you would have made no money that night.. I hope he got holiday pay. Other than that it was a great stay. Best Regards“

“The food, service, and atmosphere was off the chain!!! Great place to eat and hangout!!!“

“Server was very friendly and awesome.“

“Visited MSC on a busy afternoon for lunch. Watson took great care of me and answered all my questions and made suggestions.

I got the Katsu Sandwich and the cheese board and they were both scrumptious! Wish I had two stomachs because I had to leave some of the cheese board behind ?

10/10 would recommend! Perfect for a business lunch, girls night out, or a special dinner!

Vegetarian options: The day I had lunch there was only one vegetarian item on the menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a big bump to get into the rear dining area that might be difficult in a manual wheelchair ?“

“Perfect!“

“greeted as soon as we walked in. service was fantastic. I had the catfish stew and it was Amazing! definitely worth finding!“

“The ambience is peaceful and beautiful. The service is pretty slow even though it’s not as busy but it didn’t bother me . Give you time to order a drink, appetizer and talk and then order your entree. I’ve been twice Brianna and Maddie served me. They both we attentive and gave good options. Spicy Pho was my favorite. The spicy wontons are good as well. The prices are affordable.“

“Frank was amazing. Very friendly and high energy. We came at 9:15 and were the only ones seating in the hibachi area. He came out and gave a show like it was a full room. Very friendly and not too much. Allowed us space to talk and enjoy dinner as well. He made our night. Food was amazing and fresh. Tried this different style of noodles and was pleasantly surprised.“
