The Joint @ 1710 Main in Columbia is one of those spots that effortlessly blends good food, live…read moremusic, and a whole vibe Walking in, you immediately feel the energy--dim lighting, chandeliers, and a packed room full of people enjoying themselves. The live band set the tone for the entire night . Smooth, soulful, and engaging--honestly felt like a mini concert while you're dining. The food came through too! The Fly Town Fries were stacked, flavorful, and had just the right kick , and the shrimp quesadilla was crispy, melty, and packed with flavor--definitely a must-order . Everything felt like elevated bar food done right. Drinks were on point--a chilled white Moscato paired perfectly with the meal , light, smooth, and refreshing for the vibe. The crowd was lively, diverse, and really added to the experience--this is definitely a social spot. Great for date night, girls night, or just getting out and enjoying downtown Columbia If you're looking for good music, good eats, and a great atmosphere all in one place, The Joint is it. Definitely coming back!

Prohibition beat my expectations. I expected it to be gimmicky, but I left pleasantly surprised…read more I found the atmosphere to be quite space-y (looks great for attending a show or event). The food surpassed my expectations, particularly the red pepper dip. I also saw the teriyaki beef tacos and thought they'd be meh, but they were really quite tasty! Did not order entrees. I would say they should add a vegetarian/vegan entree option (or substitution) (beyond something mundane like a salad)- maybe I didn't look hard enough. The service was good but not anything to rave about. We were there at what seemed to be a relatively slow time of day/week (maybe 20% of the restaurant was full). Nothing bad to say here. The pricing was as expected. Pretty typical. Also, why no champagne on the menu?! Come on guys (lol, again, maybe I didn't look hard enough). So- 4 out of 5. Not knocking it because of any complaints, it's just pretty average for Columbia. Though I do think they deserve higher than 3.6 based on my experience.

My love wanted to meet our friends here for brunch and it was actually really good. First the…read morerestaurant is decorated beautifully. I loved the rustic feel, everything made out of liquor barrels, the lighting top tier. For appetizers, my friend got the crab Rangoon toast, and we got wings and deviled eggs. The toast was really good but I felt like it was one note, it needed something to cut the creaminess. The deviled eggs were so good with the cracklin chicken skin on top and the wings were crispy and flavorful . I think they were my favorites of the day. My bf got the lobster roll which he said was really good. The bun is toasted, the lobster is cold but he said it's not like ice cold, it's the perfect temperature. My friends said the shrimp and grits and chopped cheese sandwich were amazing. Only thing I'd say about the shrimp and grits is that the kale sitting on top like that is off putting. It could have been plated a little better. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my food because it came out last but I got the grilled steak cooked medium rare and it was perfect ! They did put finishing salt which made certain bits really salty so I didn't like that. But other than that, everything was so good. I'd give the experience a 9/10.

I ordered the steak fries , because they are hand cut, but to be honest, I wasn't impressed. They were slightly undercooked and not crispy. They were dark, so I suspect they just need to change the oil to more accurately gauge the doneness of the fries. Another customer kept ordering this and it looked so pretty! I decided to try it and, honestly, I'm OBSESSED! It's not as sickening sweet as I expected. It's fruity, but sour, with a an aftertaste of gin. I would love to try this with Hendricks or Roku, I think it would level up the flavors. But this was made with tanqueray. Still, I HIGHLY recommend this unique cocktail. But you'll have to ask for it.

Sat at the bar and were immediately asked if they could get us anything promptly responding with drinks. We ordered a Caesar salad and the chipotle Chicken quesadilla both of which were delicious.

Nice bar just on the SW outskirts of Univ if South Carolina; basically across from Greek Village…read more Plenty of tv's, table and room for groups. Atmosphere is pub/sports bar type. 10 min walk from Assembly & Blossom. Food was pretty good; service friendly but pretty slow and lacking a bit. Had to ask multiple times for napkins and just a bit slow at times. Good place for good bar food and drinks, catch a game. Oh and the pizza looked delicious. Just set your service expectations a bit. Would honestly be like a 3.5

We found this place on a tourist website of places to go in the city and figured we'd stop in to…read moretry some brews and maybe lunch. We made the stop after taking a tour of the state capitol - which we also highly recommend! The place is huge with ample seating inside and out. And the setting? It couldn't be better! Especially for anyone who likes airports, airplanes, old buildings, trains, or just unique locations. The food... we ordered the Garlic Knots, Mediterranean Pizza, and a Pepperoni Pizza, and were not disappointed. The Garlic Knots - freshly made, good quality dough. We almost went back and ordered a second order of 'em. The pizzas? We loved them! My son said the bottom could've been a little bit crisper, but otherwise, the quality of the ingredients was good, and both tasted great. The Brews... we enjoyed two flights, not bad overall. Our favorite one out of the bunch was the ESB. It's their Red Ale, and it was a good one! The raspberry sour was also a pretty good drink. The other brews, not bad, but also not the best we've had. Overall, a great place to stop when visiting the city, and it's a great place for friends, families, old and young. I would gladly stop in again if I'm ever in the area.

We will definitely come back next time we are in town.

Catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunsets from the Western facing deck, or just star gaze while enjoying a beautifully crafted cocktail on the outside lounging areas. There are no prices on the drinks but they are all average about $18 @ drink for mixers. The cocktail menu had a variety of offerings and had excellent and attentive bartenders and staff. A food menu is available that features Mexican fare from the small Loco Taco restaurant in the ground floor of the hotel. During winter months there are outdoor heaters to keep it warm and cozy while you sip ur drinks. This is a must see if ur in town and want to catch a breeze, a sunset, and a chill buzz!
