This is our favorite local restaurant! We love eating outside here with a view of Main Street Columbia, especially during COVID, but the inside is also nice and cozy. Their drinks are one-of-a-kind, and if you like Cajun-style food with a Southern twist, you cannot go wrong! We love getting multiple appetizers and sides and splitting them!

They have a revolving list of their own local beers, about 12 at a time. The best brewery—we think—in town! Trivia and other games are often played in the evening. Food trucks and snacks often available.
