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. During winter months there are outdoor heaters to keep it warm and cozy while you sip ur drinks. This is a must see if ur in town and want to catch a breeze, a sunset, and a chill buzz!

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 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!

We got a Grand Carafe which was only $23 and it was really good to share among 3-4 people, we ordered two so it was great deal. I ordered the smoked brisket hash with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and it was really good. The flavor was amazing and I loved the texture of the sweet potatoes because they were cooked perfectly, not mushy or too hard. I def tasted some sweetness and cinnamon which added a nice flavor as well. I wish the brisket wasn't shredded so finely and I did ask for no pepper and onion medley but it was there anyways. It was still really good. My bf had the surf and turf with lamb chops and shrimp and it was cooked perfectly but a taddd salty. It was definitely worth it though. Overall it was great. I'll definitely come back again.

If you are on business travel and you have an alcohol allowance for clients, do it. The rest of Columbia does not have the wallet or the stomach for these kinds of prices. Space is cute but tiny. Good, fast service. Bartender was helpful. It was great, highly recommend if you want to pay for a very private location with low foot traffic. If you need to have a serious conversation or an intimate date, this would be a good option. We wanted to knock it off our Columbia bucket list. Now that it is done, we would not go back due to the cost.

There was also a nice roasted red pepper and black olive salad that came with it. My only criticism is that I felt like the portion of octopus was small for $21. Then I decided to try the Boeuf bourguignon. This was definitely comfort food. A very tasty beef stew, but a bit different recipe than I'm used to for this dish. Theirs has potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. But the broth tastes like they might also use a touch of tomato paste. I could be wrong. Nonetheless, it was tasty and the thick broth was yummy on the piece of crusty bread it was served with. I'm tempted to come back and order the entree size of the octopus for $32 and see what the portion size is. Service was excellent. Very attentive.

The food is simply incredible. My husband had the Caesar Salad and the Boeuf Bourguignon. I had the Burrata Caprese Salad and the Rousseau Pizza.

For dessert, we took the advice of our server and ordered the Ube Basque Cheesecake. Wow! (Pictured is the portion we brought home.) I'm a good cook, so when eating out, I expect to have a meal that surpasses my skills. And this most certainly did. The presentation was excellent.
