The owner is…read morekind and contributes to the community in a variety of ways, so you can feel good about keeping your dollars local. They serve an extensive selection of local and German beers. The newly renovated front bar area is very nice too! The exposed brick and the wood bar keep the vibes cozy and inviting. The back bar area has plenty of room for dining and socializing. Wait staff are friendly and helpful and have gone out of their way to accommodate my kids and their tastes. We have been to several community events here. They offer traditional bar fare and appetizers, but in the past several years, they have expanded the German food menu. You really can't go wrong with any of it! On Wednesdays, Tiny's offers soup flights and all of the choices are excellent.

Coming to this Columbia, Illinois hot spot and enjoying the atmosphere you can see why. Be prepared to seeing it totally packed on the weekends. I wanted to see the two bartenders I personally consider the stars of the venue Abigail and Kassidy. As beautiful and talented as you obviously see they are it's their guest service and personalities win the day. Two sweeter and more genuine individuals I challenge you to find anywhere. I'm going to be 100% honest I actually do get nervous coming into see them. It's hard to imagine seeing two angels on Earth. All the girls rock and provide premier service. I lived in St Louis for 14 years and I must say this would definitely be my spot if I still lived in the area. With Abigail and Kassidy it's like coming back and seeing friends I've known. I get that impression it's their style with all guest. I travel the country and these two are my two favorites anywhere. I'd highly recommend if you're a first timer you request them. They're hard working and get their business done. And tip the well!!! They deserve it. Thank you. Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida.

Best time to go is when the weather is nice out so you can catch the gorgeous sunset.

Apparently in Southern Illinois, the "thing" you do is called Jeeping. When my friends Beth and…read moreNathan invited my boyfriend and I to voyage across the river to their hometown to go Jeeping, we were both afraid, then petrified... but when we pulled into the Fountain Inn, we knew we could survive. I LOVE bars like the Fountain Inn. Unpretentious. Made for locals. And a bar where Michelob Ultra is considered a "hoity toity" beer. But the Fountain Inn was far from a dive. While the exterior of the building may look a little worn, the interior was recently renovated and updated. They even had a roomba to sweep the floor! How high tech. The flow of the bar was open and airy with lots of places to sit and enjoy a cold one on a nice warm day. Outside of the Fountain Inn, there's tons of seating. It was easy to keep your distance. There was also a stage set up with a man in overalls playing a little too much Johnny Cash. But I didn't care. It was live music and Nathan kept the $2 Stag beers coming. I didn't mind the drive from Soulard to the Fountain Inn. It made for a really relaxing mini-day trip.

Headed to a new place to try their Lenten Fish Fry…read more. The place was busy, which I love to see, and the wait wasn't bad at all.. we did get there around 5pm. The owner/server was very friendly and helpful in explaining the Lenten Menu. The Cod was very good!!! Loved the Fries but would pass on the Mac n Cheese (it was ok). Also, got the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap which was yummy!!! Drinks were good and strong!! We got some desserts to go as they were brought in fresh!!! The Key Lime pie was good!! But very Green!! The German Chocolate Cake was Delish... I just wish for $4/slice the piece was a bit bigger!!! Note: it took a little bit for our food to come out but we were in no hurry!! We will go back!! The menu has a good variety to try. The old bar is great

The carrots were delicious- kinda like dessert. I've also heard the burgers are great. I'll try one of those another time. The place isn't fancy at all but has good food.

Graphite was a wonderful surprise and a standout dining experience in Columbia. I love that the…read morerestaurant's name is a nod to the building's history as a former schoolhouse, which now beautifully houses both the Principal Hotel and Graphite. Both feel like elevated, unexpected gems in a small town. I ordered the fried chicken dinner with the half chicken portion, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavorful with perfectly crispy, crunchy skin. The service was excellent, and our waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The restrooms were also spotless and well maintained. It is clear that a lot of care goes into every aspect of the guest experience. My only minor criticism is the size of the drink glasses. Once ice is added, there is not much room left for the actual beverage. My parents found themselves needing refills more frequently than they typically would at other restaurants. It was not a major issue, but slightly larger glasses might make things more convenient for both guests and staff. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back. Graphite is a true hidden gem that offers great food, excellent service, and a unique atmosphere.

There is plenty of bar seating and a large area with tables. When the weather is nice I love the patio! Several large tables, a nice fountain and large tree to provide some shade. I have also tried many things on the menu and the must try is for sure one of their pizzas! Perfect size for two people to split. They have a range of your typical toppings and some that are unique. They are all delicious and I especially love the crust! Pizza and beer on the patio! Perfection!
