26 Best Cocktail Bars in Columbia

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

“We had a very enjoyable breakfast here. The beignets were great. The biscuit with sausage gravy was also very nice, and the sweet heat chicken (or whatever it was called) was really good. Super tender and great flavor. I don't recall the waiters name, and one of our parties order came out wrong (we did not mention it because all of the food was out, and well, what are you gonna do?), but we were overall very happy with his service. A nice young man. The overall vibe of the place was really nice as well. The staff seemed happy, and the customers all seemed happy. Would most definitely return.“

“My husband made reservations for my birthday weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! It was a culinary experience like no other and our sever Sean was attentive and very friendly. I loved the vibe of the restaurant, the open kitchen, our cocktails were so tasty (The Hollow and The Local Tourist), the Wild Game Tasting Board was amazing, and our entrees (Elk Filet and Duck Breast) were delicious! For dessert, we had the Layered Peach Cobbler and Sean even placed a candle in the middle! We definitely will be back! Absolutely loved this place!“

“The salad I got was delicious. I chose the Strawberry salad they have and added the salmon to it. Loved the berry dressing. It wasn't too sweet. 3 out of the 5 of us got this same salad and we all loved it! This is a great spot for a business lunch or a fun girl's luncheon.“

“Server was very friendly and awesome.“

“My husband and I went for our anniversary and LOVED it. We will definitely be back. We got there as soon as they opened and of course got seated right away. Our waiter was phenomenal and if they were out of something, he'd make a suggestion on a alternative. The food was fabulous as well. Definitely 10/10“

“Celebrated my 61st birthday there.We had an awesome time ‼️“

“My wife and I found this place a few weekends ago and decided to go again. I have to say that this food is incredible and the presentation of the food is beautiful. The staff is really friendly and they brought the food out really quick. The amount of food you get for the money is pretty solid. We will for sure return!“

“Busy Sunday Brunch with Mixed Results -We visited Tazza Kitchen for brunch on Sunday around 1:30 PM. The restaurant was initially busy but cleared out quickly. While we were seated promptly, our server didn't inquire about drinks and seemed more focused on closing up, as they close earlier on Sundays.The breakfast burger was delicious, but the Baja bowl lacked flavor and seasoning. Unfortunately, our waiter forgot our Bloody Mary order. Overall, it seemed like the staff was ready to end their shift.On a positive note, once we were able to get someone's attention, they were happy to help. Salt and pepper shakers were missing from our table, but a staff member readily provided them when requested.“

“The quality of the food, service, and presentation was more than enough to make us into fans! We will definitely be back!“

“The food is very good! love this place.“

“Definitely would recommend 1801 Grille we had a bday crew of about 15 and Mike the waiter and the owner Ella were the epitome of warm, welcoming and service with a smile!! They were very attentive and responsive to our every need! So if you looking for some place to have a bday dinner definitely check them out! We’re on the patio it was nice and very inviting! Food and drink were top notch as well!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!!“

“Some friends and I went there for our girls' trip/vacation. And I tell you they did not disappoint. We all had the crab boil and CJs wings. Let's just we were all quiet. That man can cook, good lawd!!! Everything was absolutely wonderful. It will be our stop everytime we are in Columbia. Good job Courtney and I'm proud of you. Keep up the awesome job.“

“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.“

“I don't think I've ever been inside before because I didn't know they had a separate entrance for liquor, but the staff was really helpful. I'm sure they were laughing at me because I was so confused lol. The place was huge, I got there like 10 minutes before they were going to close so I quickly asked an employee to help me find what I wanted and he walked me through and showed me where everything was. But nonetheless it's super clean and organized there, I really like it better than an abc store. I just hate that liquor stores close at 7 here where in nc I'm used to stores closing at 9. If you are looking for liquor definitely go to Greens.“

“Great food! Try a little bit of everything. Drinks are amazing too.“

“Good Asian fusion cuisine and a nice atmosphere in this restaurant! Our server was very nice and the food was quick!The Korean Rice Bowl is filling with a nice mix of veggies meat and rice.The Spicy Udon is flavorful too and all of the flavors flow together.The crispy tuna roll is good but not what I would recommend for a sushi connoisseur.Overall good spot.“

“It was my sister's 60th birthday. We decided to go to the joint because she loves to dance. We had such a wonderful time.The food was delicious as well, but the staff took so long getting the food. I enjoyed the drink as well. Me and my girlfriend again really enjoyed ourselves. It is a very nice place to go to.“

“I only rated a 4 because I didn't actually go in. While waiting for my passengers, however, security checked on me frequently to make sure everything was fine. After checking on me, they ensured my passengers and let them check on me themselves and allowed reentry after a security check and pat down which was greatly appreciated! They only allow members after a certain hour which is great for added security! Definitely recommended as far as going to a safe space. I'll have to check back in if I ever actually enter the building. Oh, parking ? get there early!!“

“good time with great people and a great bartender tammy and a lot going on.there...“

“This is my absolute favorite place to go now. I just moved here from up north and I was looking for a karaoke ? place and great food and I found both in one place. The food is amazing the service and people top notch and the atmosphere very laid back and so much fun. I highly recommend this place.“

“Food good vibes on point this is a plus .... really enjoyed myself.... dj keep the music coming gotta go back soon!“

“This place is dripping with 20’s speakeasy charm, class, and touches of modern decor that creates the absolute most perfect piece of serenity while still playing good music and the food is insanely delicious! Can be casual, fancy, wear what you like….great place to dates, brunch, amazing cocktails by Jen and Gray! Jen is an amazing manager too! Cannot recommend this place enough….check it out.“

“If you're dining after 7pm you must be 30 yrs old for men. There is tight security at the door. The music is loud and there is definitely a vibe. The food is well seasoned and nice portion sizes. There are several servers so the wait to place an order wasn't long. They offer hookah and there is a full bar. I would visit again.“

“Our server Jailyn was amazing!!!! My family and i traveled from Atlanta to South Carolina for a graduation to eat here. She has great customer service, really sweet, and she was very welcoming. The food was also really good as well. Most definitely recommend this restaurant anytime you’re in Columbia, South Carolina. Oh yeah make sure you ask for Jailyn 10 out of 10 recommend!!!“

“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“
