If you want to enjoy a beer and a hot dog while watching the local Fireflies baseball team play, you're only a short walk away from Segra Park! There are daily drink/food specials, but Thursday is half price draft beers and that’s the most important one 😉 You can find the schedule of events here: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/viewer.html?pdfurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.mlbstatic.com%2Fmilb-images%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Fmilb%2Frltdowitn8eiavzkbpve.pdf&clen=2514913&chunk=true

Dog-friendly patio (with a pup menu) that’s directly next to Segra Park! They’ve got a great full bar, daily specials (taco Monday 😍), and it’s a 5-min walk from the house!

Upscale & Food Scene

These are some of the swankier places and/or they have the best eats I've found around town.
Technically a brewery, but it's nestled within a high-end restaurant that has one of the best patios in the entire city of Columbia. They often have live music and their cocktails are always fantastic.

Right in the middle of downtown and directly across from the South Carolina State House, Hall's is a famous local chophouse that has branched out throughout the southeast. If you're feeling fancy, this is the place!

Brunch

Treat yourself to a late breakfast at one of these local brunch spots!
Not only is the food delicious, but there’s a whole wine store, cigar store, and a kitchen wares store (similar to a Williams Sonoma) connected to it!
