Restaraunts In Columbia

Hey Guys,

I wanted to start a quick thread to give you some pointers on your trip to Columbia - I know there is another thread but I'm too lazy to wade through all that.

First of all - plenty of places to party on Friday night -

Jakes in 5 points is always popular - they have a pretty large deck and plenty of nice scenery. It's up the hill on Devine Street.

Publick House - Nice little Pub that's just up from 5 Points on Devine Street. They have great beers on tap and some of the best wings in town. HOwever, the service is always a little slow, so don't say I didn't warn you.

Bar None - hole in the wall, open til 5am - it's on Harden Street.

Group Therapy - a Columbia hallmark - it's up from the fountain a little ways - going away from Campus.

The Vista has some good spots as well - and is less "collegey"

Liberty - probably the most popular bar on Gervais Street

Wild Wing Cafe is off of Lady Street, as is The Ale House, which has a cool upstairs deck.


Food -

Best Burgers in town - Rockaways - it's on Rosewood about a mile or two from the stadium.

Wings - Publick House

Nice sit down joints -

Saluda's in 5 points - nice meal.

Mac's on Main - great Southern food - it's downtown on Main Street, about a mile from the Vista.

Villa Tronca - awesome Italian food. It's downtown as well.

Tsunami - good Sushi - right in the Vista

Birds on a Wire - really good Southern food as well - specialize in chicken - it's on Devine Street up from 5 points in Shandon.

Hunter/Gatherer - it's on Main Street, right behind the State House and next to campus - good food and a lot of microbrews on draft.

Well - that should give ya'll a good list to start. Hope you have good trip down and a sad trip back.
