The Charlottean's Guide to Columbia SC's Thriving Craft Beer Scene
"Sink your teeth into fried cauliflower, pub pretzels, 11 different types of wings, or five types of fries to get things started at Twisted Spur Brewing, where owner and Columbia native Chris Baldwin combines his love of home with all he learned while living on the West Coast. An elevated menu brings an air of elegance to the pub, with features like confit duck leg and mussels."

Where to Brunch in Columbia, SC
"This is a true local gem owned by a Cola native and USC grad. With it being a brewery as well, we skipped the mimosas and tried a few beers with brunch. The SC shaped beer flight was a nice surprise and only $8!"

"The Hangar, located in the actual Curtiss-Wright Hangar, is an offshoot of Columbia’s original brewery, Hunter-Gatherer. House-brewed beers are the perfect complement to their elevated pub menu. Weekend brunches chase away the blues — the huevos rancheros breakfast pizza is a favorite."

Mentioned by Eater Carolinas
18 Essential Restaurants in Columbia, South Carolina
"Before the cafe opened, chef owner Jessica Shillato of Spotted Salamander had quite a following as a caterer for private parties and special events. Each delicious dish highlights Chef Shillato’s love for local ingredients and Southern cooking. Deviled eggs with special additions like bacon and blue cheese take the edge off of a mid-day appetite, but leave plenty of room for mains like the Spotted Salad, with sweet tea vodka barbecue chicken, bacon, cheddar, tomatoes, Adluh cornbread croutons, mixed greens, and buttermilk ranch dressing."

Where to Eat in Columbia, SC
"I mean as if the photos don’t already make you drool… you should know that there are even more options than what they have on the menu. While this is a lunch only (11-2:30) & catering restaurant, the menu is limitless and always features something new. The Pulled Brisket Sandwich is out of this world, but you can also go lighter with the spotted salad and soup of the day."
