A good selection of local beers with a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere than most of the bars downtown that are overrun with undergrads. People were comfortable to relax, a breeze was flowing through the open doors and the bartender seemed to like his company. I think it's technically part of the North Village Art District. Bring your own food, there's BBQ, Korean and Mexican on the block so take your pick. They have plenty of taps and a book of cocktails. . Also, there are good specials so check their social media. Tuesday's are $3 local pints read more

9th Street Public House - Leaky roof caller. 9.5% for $8 - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

See all

They charged my friend for 3 drinks when she ordered 2, tried to correct it and he fought her on it and told her to take a seltzer "for the road" instead of removing it from the bill. She still tipped him $8 on her bill, he shook his head and said "stupid b****". They said he was one of the owners, TO. Don't go here :) read more

Manager this past Sunday night was so disrespectful to my girlfriend. Calling her a stupid b**** and other things to his co-workers. I think his name was TO. Can't believe they let him work there. Based on other reviews, rude staff is not uncommon here. Highly recommend to stay away from this place! read more

9th Street Public House is a great bar with a great atmosphere. They have a great selection of cocktails, seltzers and beers. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and nice. My friends and I love this spot!! read more

I frequent dive bars so the decor is upscale to me. Always an enjoyable place to go with one exception where the staff did zero about an removing a drunk/overserved patron. No hate, this is a college town and this did occur late on a weekend, but still very unsettling as this dude was semi-threatening to my group. ALL other experiences here have been great and will go back. The old bartender/manager was a really nice person (he manages another establishment now, I believe? Or used to?) The owner is less affable, but polite nonetheless. read more

Oh man, I had higher hopes for this place!! We came here for some drinks with friends and man as soon as I walked in I was wafted with cigarette smoke! Yuck!! We walked up to the bar to order some drinks and had to wait quite a while after we had decided since there was only 1 person working. Our friends arrived shortly after and waiting even longer for drinks. Staff member seemed more interested in drinking with the women on the other end of the bar than earning some tips! Wouldn't recommend :/ read more

This place was great from the company to the beer! We stumbled upon this beauty awaiting Samantha Fish concert. If it wasn't 5 hours away I'd frequent it once a week just for the cozy vibe and great company. read more

9th Street Public House - Beer is food - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Cool little spot to grab a beer or cocktail. But beware, if they're busy, they won't bother making anything that takes "time" (michelada, Bloody Mary, mojito) even though it's listed on the big black chalkboard. Bartenders are a little unpleasant and not too welcoming. The owner acts as the bar back and is a complete jerk. Not sure how he has stayed in business this long with that behavior. My guess is the staff are more liked than the owner. I'll go again, but won't expect much as far as good service goes. I work for a local bar and pride myself on my friendly customer service, even when we are busy and being pulled every which way. Not sure why people in the industry feel it's ok to be unpleasant. read more

This bar is the best bar with a pub feel. Owners, bartenders and everyone is knowledgeable on their alcohol and good beer selection

I LOVED this place UNTIL tonight. I am a professor at the university so I thought of this place as a cool hang out spot for non-undergrads. I brought my cousin from out of town here and we were hanging out and drinking and everything was cool. Last call came and went, and we paid our tab and we were waiting for the last person to leave to make our way out when the so-called "owner" who did not want to give us his name (JAMES KANNE) approached us and was extremely rude to us. We were not loud, obnoxious, and even put out our hands to introduce ourselves as we kindly explained to him that we were paying our tab and finishing our drinks and were going to leave soon, when we were received very rudely, turned away and even rejected to have our hands shaken. Mr. Kanne thought, for some reason, it was ok to tell my cousin that he consciously would not shake her hand because it "was awkward for him" for whatever reason. It certainly wasn't because he was in a rush to close, because as the attached picture will show, he continued to party WELL BEYOND the closing time. And honestly, I've been to bars all over the US and most owners understand how to treat well-behaved, repeated, respectable, paying customers. This man does not care about customer appreciation, and unfortunately it has consequences for the very nice bartenders who served us, as they are the ones who give the amazing service but lose the customers in the long run because the owner is so rude. Too bad. This place has good potential but if I know that every dollar I spend is going towards the pockets of a complete jerk, I would much rather give my money to someone else. Manners go a long way. read more

9th Street Public House - The "owner" on the left. He is a self-proclaimed 'tool.' - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! In fact, we never even GOT service. We went in tonight because this bar seemed much less busy than most bars downtown; now I know why! My husband and I sat at THE BAR for 15 minutes with not so much as an acknowledgment from either of the two bartenders behind the bar! However; the one bartender, who looked like a stoned cast off of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, had plenty of time to chat up some chick, get her a drink, and DO TWO SHOTS WITH HER and one with the other bartender! It took us 20 minutes to find a damned parking spot to be treated like that?!?! Don't waste your time with this place! Oh, and if you are the proprietor of this establishment; HIRE YOURSELF SOME NEW STAFF!!!! read more

While in Columbia I stopped here to catch the Tigers play in the SEC tournament. I loved the bar and the bartender gave some great drink drink recommendations. He introduced me to Reigers Kansas City whiskey and Toms Town spirits. Great bar to catch a game and enjoy some Columbia hospitality. read more

I love the margaritas here! I frequent 9th street for a wide ranging beer selection or a special craft cocktail to accompany me and some of the locals for game time viewing. The jukebox is always bumpin... the bartender is very welcoming to Chiefs fans! read more

Unfortunately the bartender was very unprofessional and rather rude. The bartender Bryon is an asshole. I'm never coming back. He just told me that negative yelp reviews get him a promotion. Don't recommend coming here if you are a visitor because they only cater towards locals. Extremely rude and unprofessional place that discriminates anyone that is not a regular. Does not deserve a promotion. read more

Big Fan of this spot. Great spot to go on gamedays or to grab a few happy hour beers!

Best Moscow mule I've ever had! Mike always makes the best drinks. It's a fun and chill place to just hangout w a friend.

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! The bartender couldn't be bothered to tell us what beers were on tap and could barely be bothered to answer any questions about the beer. He told us to shout out our orders then proceeded to walk away. Once we did get our beer, he couldn't figure out how much he should charge us or make the right change. We were basically ignored because we were a small group and not single ladies. Will never go back. read more

I love this place! Great atmosphere, fantastic bartenders and the owner is super cool too! Big TV's everywhere, great beer specials and the bartender always has an iPhone charger for me when I ask :) read more

The owner (James Kanne) was extremely pretentious and treated me as if I was a disrespectful, unlawful, and an obnoxious drunken customer. This was very much disappointing to me because this was once my favorite go-to bar in Columbia. The bar tenders are wonderful, I do not hold this against them since they always served my drinks exactly how I wanted them. BUT, being involved in the bar industry for quite some time, I've never seen behavior like this. This type of behavior is expected from a bouncer, NOT the OWNER. Referrals are the greatest form of marketing, and referrals are based on quality of customer service. Without that, there is nothing. read more

Bartenders there are not very nice. Drinks are good but pretty expensive (for como). Was there for a going away party with like 20 ppl so we brought in a lot of business. Then someone's mace went off in their purse accidentally. I literally have no idea if it was someone in our party or someone else? We all start coughing and everyone takes a breather outside. Bartender comes out and instead of asking what happened or if we are okay he starts yelling at the entire crowd. After that I left, I'm not sure about the rest of the party. I talked to 3 bartenders that night one had a man-bun and they were all hipster type and not friendly. Our bartender wasn't bad at all until he yelled at the crowd instead of just simply asking what happened or if were ok. They have a good variety of local alcohols and a giant tv. Not a terrible place but I just am not sure if I will be back read more

Came here tonight. The place itself is fine, but the service is sub-par. Bartenders themselves were cool, but this guy who we thought was a bar-back (who turned out to be the owner) was kind of a douche. 10 people leaving his bar just because he was rude. Can't say the place is terrible, but I wouldn't come again. read more

Knowledgeable staff and the rotating tap is simply amazing. They always have a good selection. It's a great bar to go to if you're looking to stay away from the college crowd. read more

Public house is a great place to get a few drinks. The place is small the staff is friendly . There has been a few live bands play from time to time but in my opinion this is what a bar is supposed to be like. Hand Crafted cocktails and beer from the hands of a person who gives a fuck what you want to drink. Not for you to get so drunk you start trying to shove dollar bills down the cute waitress' shirt. read more

Consistent deals with taps changing frequently. Always bound to have something on tap that knocks your socks off. Their cocktails are handmade with a lot going on (in a good way). The reviews on here don't do this place justice. read more

Hand-crafted cocktails by a KNOWLEDGEABLE mixologist who takes pride in his work. Great selection of beers. Place to be for bourbon fans. Enjoyed some great cocktails. Perfect spot!! read more

If I pay six dollars for a local IPA and every other person is drinking out of a glass I expect the same. Maybe that's just me though. Instead I got a plastic cup. Buck up and buy some more glassware. read more

Bartender was extremely rude. If you look like a college student, expect them not serve you. Also, they charged me more for a drink than what they charged the person who ordered the same thing right next to me. read more

Unfortunately possibly the worst experience I have ever had at a bar. The drinks were overpriced and the area was cramped. The staff was overly rude from the moment we walked in, but we didn't think much of it. My friends and I were respectfully keeping to ourselves by enjoying our drinks and watching a hockey game when one of the bartenders approached us. In the most disrespectful manner I have ever experienced, he accused us of "disrespectfully" sitting too far away from our table and impeding walkways. Despite his sorry accusation, it was clear that they did not want us to be there. This became apparent as he became furious when we asked for a further explanation. He accused us of not buying drinks as our drinks sat right in front of us. He quickly demanded that we leave. This was our first and last time at public house. Extremely disappointed in the service and hospitality. If you are looking for a nice relaxed place for a drink, I recommended somewhere such the roof that has a much better venue with the same price for drinks. There are at least two dozen better options (and cheaper) for drinks within walking distance of public house read more
