The only critique I would give is that their cigar selection is small, but that can be easily remedied and the service certainly makes up for it. Certainly come check them out if you're in Columbia.

Comfy seating and tvs for the game!

Nestled amidst a brewery, several restaurants, and a couple of hotels, Doc's is a great place to grab a nightcap, learn about a new cigar or indulge in an old favorite, and make new connections before calling it a night. Extensive cigar offerings, with a focus on supporting purveyors of color. Wine & cocktail offerings. Generous seating, for both the general public & those who opt for membership. Tapas-style menu & excellent, personable service. It's like the Cheers of cigar bars, where you're made to feel like everyone knows your name & welcomes you back. I'll definitely check them out again!

It's $200 a year to get the membership, per year. You can have access to any room. Totally worth it! $500 to have a locker. Then you can keep your favorite whisky and cigar in there. This is the coolest hang out location. They have high end tequilas and whiskeys. They have a walk on humidor!! Hello! I like greasy dark cigars. More flavor. How could you not support the Doc that has delivered half of the county? He is lovable and fun! They even have mouthwash in the bathroom.

My wife and I spent $50 per person on Eventbrite to skip the line instead of $20 general admission. We got there around 12 am after the concert let out and there was literally like 10 people in line ( they scammed my a$$), no need to skip. They were charging $40 at the door for general admission. Got there and it was dead . Pros, coming from ATL and paying a lot to hangout it was very cheap to party here. The wifey and I had 3 drinks a peace ( Ciroc/ sprite and Crown/ Red Bull ) and 2 lemon drop shots. We also has 30 wings, nachos and seafood dip and I only spent $77 that was with gratuity included . I had to add and extra $50 tip. Our waitress was super cool, music was good and we got the souther hospitality vibe and treatment.

The drinks were blended very well and used fresh lime juice, which was nice. The appetizers -- the kimchi fries and the boneless wings were pretty standard. The fries were crunchy, but we felt like there was more cheese than there was kimchi and sauce, so we've had better kimchi fries elsewhere. The cheese was very gooey though. The boneless wings weren't as crunchy as they could have been, especially coming out in a stone dish, but the garlic soy sauce was still pretty good. Our mains were really good -- the japchae, which I ordered with fried tofu, had the right texture and flavor, and was delicious yet spicy. The tofu was a little bland though. My partner enjoyed the squid and pork belly dish and said that the sauce was similar to the japchae sauce. The portions were pretty normal and not too big, so we had a few leftovers but not too many. The prices were also pretty reasonable as well. Overall we were really happy with our food here and would come back if we ever visited again.
