Best date night ever! My husband and I wanted to have a random day date and decided to try our luck at an escape room! Since it was a Sunday and no one else had booked, we did the room with just the 2 of us. The staff was super helpful with hints and even gave us a little extra time because we were so close! We can't wait to come back!!

Great small batch distillery in Columbia. Their products include whiskey, bourbon, vodka, rum, and gin. We had a long educational, and very enjoyable talk with one of the founding partners/owners during which he explained the processes they use and provided samples for tasting. An extremely enjoyable experience and excellent product. Looking forward to going back.

Awesome beer and a great night out at Brewery Night Live! My favorite is the Lily. Very refreshing for those summer days. Big Tree IPA is well balanced with big flavor and the new Frank's Cream Ale was a great treat to finish off the night. The staff was friendly and the space was fantastic. A great place to have a big event!

Craft Beer Cellar

We are a craft beer bottle shop, whose primary focus has always been the best beer that we can get our hands on. We spend our lives in search of beers made in breweries just down the street or on the other side of the world, that are well-crafted and good examples of either their style or what we think excellent beer should be, keeping in mind that "style" is not everything. We are not snobs, we are beer geeks! We are students of our trade and take great pride in learning everything we can about beer; how it's made, what the ingredients are, what we should drink it from, what food a beer pairs well or can be made with. We like to tinker with draft systems, tap faucets and kegs, and have been known to brew some pretty ridiculous beer, ourselves. We are your local beer bottle shop and in many states, draft bar for growler fills or in-store draft service. Many stores offer limited food service as well as an extensive selection of books, glassware and homebrew supplies. We are good beer, good people, and good times! All beer geeks in all of our stores are, at minimum, are Cicerone Certified Beer Servers and many go on to obtain higher certifications. Rest assured that we have studied & researched every single beer in all of our stores, before we made a decision to put it on the shelf. Our customers are the reason we exist and you should expect to be treated like you are important to us! We carry boxes to cars, make great eye contact, genuinely care how your day is going, and are not afraid to own our mistakes, if we screw something up. In addition to great beer and education, we promise that you'll always have an awesome experience at any Craft Beer Cellar! We are committed to driving the growth and awareness of craft beer through hospitality, education and support of exceptional beer. Craft beer isn’t a section of the store for us . . . it’s what we are all about!

This architectural gem is hidden across the street from peace park in downtown columbia. The exterior and interior designs are remarkable and add another great building to Columbia. The art in the gallery is important and astonishing. The library is huge and gorgeously appointed. The interior is impressive at every turn. This is a new do not miss when visiting columbia.
