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 friend took me to Prohibition for my birthday. It just happened that it was during the time they…read morewere experiencing the Sippin Santa holiday pop-up. We were so excited to try this place because neither of us had ever been there. We walked in to a beautifully Christmas themed decorated bar with a fun vibe. We were seated upstairs, which gave us an amazing view of all the decor. Haley was our server and was great, offering great suggestions as to what was popular on the menu. We both ordered a drink, an appetizer to share and two entrées. The cheese ball appetizer was delicious! Great flavor but a bit small. My friend got the fried rice with steak and I ordered the chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, I ate a quarter of my sandwich before realizing that the inside of the chicken was still raw. When I flagged down a waitress, Kia, she could not have been more apologetic and said she would get me a new sandwich and the manager would bring it to me. After a few moments, the manager came up to our table with a new sandwich. She put it on the table and I cut it in half to make sure that this one was cooked. this woman said absolutely nothing to me i.e. announcing that she was the manager, apologizing for my raw chicken sandwich, ask us if there was anything else we needed, ask if my friend's food was OK. She did not say one word! She set the plate down and walked away. When I told our regular server, Haley, she was surprised and still very apologetic for the whole thing happening. It was a really fun Christmas experience simply because of all of the cute pop-up Christmas decor. I don't know that I would return for just a regular visit. I certainly will not be getting the chicken sandwich ever again if I do.

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.

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.

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.
