This is my favorite burger place in Columbia. The food, drink, and service is consistently great.

We heard this place had one of the best burgers in town. It was yummy but not the best in my opinion, It was basic but still tasty. The ambiance is a dive bar with bar food. Service is good for a busy bar. - Burger (4/5): Pretty tasty overall, lots of toppings and you choose what you like. - Chips (4/5): We got jalapeño flavor. They tasted fresh like a potato. read more

We love this spot for a great beer and a burger. They also have good pizza too. We really enjoy the atmosphere and how local it is. My only negative is the restrooms could be a bit cleaner sometimes. read more

Jordyn was very helpful and accommodating. She cares about her customers and I feel that she is dependable.

Usually stop in for drinks, but needed food on this particular trip. I was blown away. I am not kidding: the burger I had rivals and was probably better than anything else Columbia. Fries were crispy and hot. I will 1000% return for food very soon. Service was great as well. Tables and booths were clean. read more

Third or Fourth time we have gone to 1839 and not as good as previous visits. Our sever (Eva) was very nice but did not seem to have much experience as a server. She brought out our appetizers and entrees at the same time even though we specifically asked for the nachos to come out first. Our second round of drinks sat up at the bar for almost 15 minutes while she bussed tables. The Nachos were definitely not as good as previous visits with an excessive amount of cheese which made the chips soggy. The burgers were very good as always and we love being able to choose our toppings. We will go back, avoid the nachos and hope the service level improves. read more

Great place to sample some of the best beer from around the world on tap ! Ales Lagers Stouts and on and on. Cool vibe with outside setting to enjoy a pretty day or evening. Lots of good food near by also. read more

Good beer, good burgers, and good service! Need I say more? Great little pub to hit when you are in the neighborhood. read more

1839 Taphouse is a MOVE!!! It definitely has a dive bar feel, but the patio outside looked nice and cozy for a fall night. We came here with some friends and had the best time. They have a hefty beer selection and a solid bar food menu. Who doesn't love beer and spicy chicken sandwiches/burgers?! Highly recommend this place if you're needing a spot to hang. read more

Great service, very attentive staff. Food is just okay - bar food at best. Very loud and people bring their kids here which I find odd. Good beer selection on tap. Prices are average. read more

Great local bar. This place is always busy. It attracts many age groups from college age to retired people. The food is good for bar food. They have great beer selection and happy hour. The staff is always friendly and attentive. read more

This place is great. Smaller menu, but the stuff on the menu is AMAZING! They give you a piece of paper to build your own burger or chicken Sandip if you want, which is great. The burger was most certainly fresh (not frozen). One of the best burgers I've ever had in the Columbia area. The chili cheese fries are good, I wish the chili had a bit more flavor but the queso (cheese) sauce they poor on it is to die for. Eat here! You won't be disappointed. Plus lots of beers on tap, can't go wrong with that!! read more

1839 Taphouse - Bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese fries - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Great burger! Probably one of the top two in Columbia! Had a great server named Kennedy who was so sweet!

It smells wierd inside. The food is mediocre and the staff seems disinterested. No need to come here with so many other great places in town. read more

This is a very nice "hole in the wall" type joint complete with a few booths, a few tables, a decent bar, and a back area with a pool table and some bar games. Our large group (10) came in after a long day of work around 9:30PM on a Saturday night and were able to get a block of tables together. I wasn't a fan of whatever hoppy beer was in the pitchers on the table, so I went to the bar and asked for "The biggest Guinness they'd give me". This was met with a deadpan "Are you serious?", to which I replied "But of course!". Next thing I know, I'm being handed a 42 ounce giant glass mug of heavenly Guinness. This alone was worthy of a 5-star review. But it only got better! They even had a Woodford Reserve Double Oaked...which I also had. As great as the beverages were, the food was astonishingly better. Most of the group opted for double and triple burgers with varying degrees of accouterments. These were amazing burgers, really top notch. The wings left a little to be desired, but were still pretty good. If I were going back, I'd definitely want to try the pizza as it looked great too. Service was fast and friendly. All around a great experience. Note: There's ample parking outside, but seating is a little limited, so call ahead if you're bringing a group. Prices were extremely affordable. Will definitely stop in again the next time I'm in Columbia. read more

A great neighborhood bar! Great bartenders and always strong service. Great burgers and wonderful selection of beers on tap! Always a good time at Taphouse! read more

Cute patio! Servers were very responsive and kind. Homemade chips were yummy! Love the crispiness. Several seasonings to choose from. I hear the burgers are yummy, but I didn't have one. Lots of beers on tap to choose from. I'd recommend! read more

Probably the best hamburger I have had! I would give five stars however the place could use a good cleaning and maybe turn the music down just a bit during the early evening hours? Believe it or not people do like to have a conversation while eating and the music is just too loud. Wait staff could up their game but man, the burger made up for the mediocre service. My friends each had salad and both enjoyed them. Homemade chips were soso. Too many soft ones. read more

Convenient (near hotels outside CoMo) but it wouldn't be my first (or second) choice. Went there simply b/c we were in a hurry for a quick bite. Decent bar food (salads, pizza, burgers), not the best quality. Full bar. Ok service... read more

Really good pub grub. Especially liked the homemade potato chips. Chicken sammich, cheeseburger and hot pretzel were all good. Peach margarita was also good. Will come back again read more

My favorite place for Beer and Wings in Columbia. Staff is always friendly and helpful, be it when I'm with my wife and daughters it out on the town with friends. Spring or Fall out by the fire on the patio with a drink, what else do you need? read more

I went to 1839 for dinner on a weeknight. First thing I noticed was the crowd, it is not the college crew you get in many places downtown. It also was not as crowded as downtown restaurants/bars. They have a decent menu, and I was in the mood for a burger. One of the cool things about 1839 Taphouse is the sheet they give you to customize your burger or chicken sandwich. I ordered mine with cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, bacon and ketchup. Most of the toppings are included in the price, with a few costing extra. I ordered a single burger, which was $3.99 (without a side). Not too bad price-wise. It tasted good, but the burger patties are thin so the bread overwhelmed the meat a little. I would recommend getting at least a double if you order a burger. For a side, I split some jalapeno homemade chips, which were good and has just the right amount of kick. These cost $2.99, so total my meal was about $7. Very decent pricing for dinner. The beer selection was interesting and different than what you will see most places. The waitress was knowledgable about their beer selection and offered some good recommendations. My only complaint is that, while the service for most of the meal was great, our waitress disappeared later in the evening. We had to wait more than 20 minutes after we were done eating to get the check, and long after that to pay and leave. I understand things happen, so this won't keep me from visiting in the future. read more

Several points to make about this pub. 1. The food is great. It's bar food, so don't expect high class dining. But the Portions are great, and what I got to eat was fresh and delicious. The price was very reasonable as well. My drink was well made. The cooks/bartender are the ones who saved this review. 2The atmosphere was alright. It was much smaller than what I expected, but still roomy. Music was a bit loud, but I didn't mind. Games were playing on tv. 3. My service was absolutely TERRIBLE. I went on a Tuesday, so it was not packed. I saw several empty tables when I first arrived. I was asked what I wanted to drink and the server left for about 10 minutes. We had to ask for a menu, waited another 5 minutes for that. I sincerely felt like the server was annoyed with my simple requests. Food was brought out in a timely manner (I give credit to a great cook staff). My food was wrong, though, not what I ordered. I accepted it anyway and just gave it to some friends. We waited over an hour for our check, and had to physically flag down our server because she was talking to the over servers at the other end of the room. We were not checked on at all after we got our food. This server did not take pride in her work. I usually leave large tips, but this server was the first in a while that did not deserve one (I still tipped though). Overall I had a decent time, and probably will return because I enjoyed the food I ordered. Will have to try the nachos. I sincerely hope I do not get the same server, though. read more

Hannah is the best server ever! Pizza and wings are excellent! Unfortunately their wine choices are really really poor and there is no good cider choice. read more

I wouldn't go here if you expect any form of friendly service. I am 24 years old and from Arkansas. They refused to serve me because they believed my ID was fake even after I showed them my health insurance card with my birthday and my pilot license. They were rude throughout the entire process. My friends and I immediately left and will not be going back. All I can say about the bar tender and waitress is RUDE RUDE RUDE! read more

Decent place to grab a beer and maybe some nachos. I don't have any real complaints, but also don't have anything that great to say about it. The beer specials are decent and the food is your typical burger/wings etc menu. The only thing that really stands out is the different flavored chips and the "flip night" special where you can potentially get a few drinks free. If they did a quick remodel and cleaned up the place a bit; maybe add a few more unique takes on food, this place would get a little more of my attention. Until then, I'll just grab a quick drink. read more

My friends and I are always on the lookout for good places in Columbia that aren't crazy packed on a football Saturday. We gave 1839 Taphouse a try for the first time recently, but it definitely will not be the last. The homemade chips made an awesome appetizer that we nibbled on throughout the meal. I love the 'build your own' burgers and nachos. The group I was with had both of those, and said they were great. I had the philly cheese with steak (and jalapenos! extra points for jalapenos!), which was extremely good. I'm not a very adventurous beer drinker, but they had a great selection, and the waitress was helpful in guiding one of my fellow diners to something interesting. If you can tear yourself away from Sub Shop next door, 1839 Taphouse is worth a trip. read more

We will NEVER visit again. - worth the read, and frankly unbelievable. Friends and I went in for drinks. We sat for 15 minutes until we had to ask for assistance. It was clear the waitress (Raven) was having a bad night and took offense to us asking. She treated our table like an inconvenience the remainder of the night. Being rude is a understatement to our entire table. Even when we were leaving she was unable to get our bill right until another waitress came to help. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE! Two weeks later I receive a harassing message on Facebook from a different waitress (Bianca) using curse words, making accusations, and calling us cheap. (my friends and I were regulars so they know us) I let the owner know of this rouge waitress and her actions. He called me back and said that she admitted to sending the harassing messages. I first thought to myself, ok great he will handle it and we can move on. WRONG - His next question was to see if she put it out there for the public to see, or if it was in a private message. As soon as I said it was a private message and not in public, the owner changed his entire stance on the situation. He stated he spoke with the waitress again and he didn't know what to think, but they stated they didn't want to serve us anymore so we should just go our separate ways from Tap House. The bad reviews are legit here people, beware. Even the staff we became friends with would jokingly mention the bad reviews at times. The main reason we went is due to it being down the street. Ill be sure to just go to Murrys across the street! Guaranteed the owner and staff will not treat their customers this way. read more

The wait staff is pretty good and they have brew. Homemade chips are awfully good. Burger is good. Glad we stopped. read more

1839 Taphouse - Boone County Brown - Pubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Great specials and fun people, especially on the weeknights (strange, but true). The flip night is especially great, heads you win, tails you pay normal price for your round. There is no decor/theme/ambience to speak of, but hey, it's the local college town bar. read more

This place is great for everyone. The food is fantastic and made to order. 24 taps that constantly change. The staff is incredibly knowledgable, and is great at suggesting new beers to try. Right down Providence from Mizzou. Great place to be pre/post games. I'm a big fan of the heated patio. I'm usually out there watching the TV's, or at the bar. They have TV's everywhere, and just put up a new massive one inside. You should go, drink a craft beer and get a cheese burger, it's one of the best burgers in town. read more

The best part about this place is the crowd: hipsters, lawyers, the elderly, handsome business men like myself- all sitting in the same bar getting along. I used to love the wings but lately instead of chicken wings I've been served shriveled up pieces of chicken stuck to a charred bone. It seems the quality of meat went down and the duration of time in the fryer about doubled. I've mentioned this twice to them as the wings used to be so good until a few weeks ago. I hope things have changed. I'm going there tonight and if they're not better I just might send them back or cross this place off my possible Thursday night spots. I don't expect 5 star cuisine but how about a little pride in the product you serve? (Pizza and burgers are pretty good) read more

One of the best reasons to venture to the south side of town! 1839 Taphouse has the best burger in Columbia. Fresh topping and the patty is always cooked to perfection... the grilled onions and mushrooms are well worth the extra cost. The mystery beer on tap always fun as well. read more

Spent some money on the jukebox, not a lot but not a little. 9 songs. Never played. Asked my server about it after two hours and she basically told me that if I didn't spend the extra money for "priority" then it wasn't going to play. Not a good establishment. read more

Don't understand the hype about this place! The peach fuzz beer that I got did not taste "fruity" as stated and I had some of my boyfriend's blue moon and it literally tasted the same. Our waitress messed up on our groups' orders multiple of times. For a huge group of 10-15 you know you won't be able to remember our orders off the top of your head -- that's what a notepad is for. It took over an hour to get the bill for one person in our group, too! The wings here are eh. Don't waste your time. read more

I like this place pretty well. They have a wide selection of beers on tap. The beers on tap rotate in and out, though, so your favorite might not be there next time you go in. But, there's always something worth drinking. I like the cheese bread for an appetizer, and the homemade potato chips are good too. read more

This is the ONLY bar in Columbia my boyfriend and I will go to. I can't stand the constant flow of college kids yelling and bad techno blaring. You won't find this anywhere near Taphouse. You can actually relax and have a beer! The servers are sweet and the bartender can definitely handle a crowd.In need of a badass burger and a beer? Head to Taphouse! read more

SO MANY GOOD BEERS. not to mention flip night on Tuesday is a great special.

Wow.. cold food. I first ordered a tea and has to ask for sugar twice. Of course I never got any. So to save trouble I easier to change to coke and I will add after I recieved it. that www neglected as well. My companion Ordered the nachos. Even the chicken in it seemed to not even be warmed up . Our waitress lousy.. My cheeseburger not the worst ,but nothing to recommend either. Try somewhere else if you have options. read more
