Sweet Mother Mary what a place! Absolutely wonderful New Orleans cooking. The Mrs. and I stopped in for supper on a Wednesday night and loved it! My lady being from the New Orleans area was thoroughly impressed. Felt like home said she. We had the grits and shrimp, started with the best deviled eggs we've ever had and the service, can't say enough about our waitress "Lissa". Top notch, attentive, courteous from start to finish. Really can't say enough good about the place. Especially when getting the bill for the meal served on a hymnal! There's also this magnificent stained glass window imported from Italy depicting the conversion of ST. Paul. in the banquet area. We will definitely be making this place a regular stop! PS: The Bourbon drinks are spectacular too. read more

Friendly and quick service right off the bat. We were seated right away as they were not busy on a Tuesday evening. We ordered cocktails up front and they were both fantastic. Since we weren't super hungry, we ordered one appetizer, a burger, and a dessert. The food was all beautifully presented but left us a little unimpressed. 3 of the 4 deviled eggs were more sweet than savory. I would personally prefer if the ratio were reversed. The burger was good, but nothing exceptional. The carrot cake was visually impressive, but didn't have as much spice as I would prefer. Will I come back? Yes...the drinks alone would keep this spot on my radar. I also want to try the baked gruyère and the chicken pot pie. I will return for another shot at the Bourbon Gospel! read more

Good food Good service Good ambiance Well worth a drive to Columbia. I always suggest it to friends read more

Food and table service (Elizabeth) was fantastic. Not getting a 5 because the bartender was completely off on another planet. It wasn't busy (5:30 pm) but we didn't get our two (2!) drinks until halfway through our meal. We sat right next to the bar and watched as he wandered around, chatted, and just moved in slow motion. Completely unsatisfactory. Suggestion: a small tasteful plate of breadsticks, baguette, a few olives, etc. would really top off the experience. The food was fantastic, it would have been nice to have a crust of bread to get it all off the plate. read more

Lights out food. The bourbon gospel is worth going out of the way for. We liked it so much we came two nights in a row. The hospitality is on point. Every dish we had was incredible. I could've run back the Gruyere appetizer all night long. The steak was on point. The brisket enchilada melted like butter in my mouth. It's only been a day but I miss you already. The drinks were top notch. Loved everything. read more

Service here is 15/10 probably the best experience I've ever gotten. Lovely lovely staff and owner it was great to hear their story. Wish I lived here so I could go more often and support. Brisket tacos: amazing flavor in the brisket. could use slightly more meat & ingredients in the tacos to balance the ratio with the flour tortilla. Shrimp & grits: decadent, creamy, delicious, very rich. was amazing to try a bite. Burger: amazing!!! I'm not even a burger person but they have it down it was amazing. Salmon: good, nothing crazy but a solid dish. I would say to add more of the sauce they had to it - which seemed like a sweet soy sauce. Drinks: I forgot the name but the yuzu sour was light and refreshing! Ambience: the bar area was beautifullll. I'm excited to see how the other areas turn out as well. I think some string lights could be added to the outside to take it to the next level. All this is without the experience of the music which I know will be amazing - would HIGHLY recommend. read more

The Bourbon Gospel - cookie dough flight - Music Venues Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

If you want a glimpse into where downtown Columbia is headed, look no further than Bourbon Gospel. This place isn't just a bar--it's a vision. Every corner of the space feels intentional, from the moody lighting and marble tabletops to the curated cocktails that deliver both flavor and finesse. I had the Barrentine Old Fashioned, which might just be the best in town. Perfectly executed, bold without being overpowering, and served with a clarity and respect for tradition that's rare these days. My wife ordered Dolly's Bath Water--vibrant, sparkling, and smooth with just the right amount of cheek. Refreshing and complex in the best way. But what truly sets this place apart is the heart behind it. The owners are not only stunningly beautiful (truly--style, grace, the whole package), but they radiate authenticity and warmth. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel like old friends. It's rare to see hospitality delivered with that level of sincerity--it's even rarer to see it paired with such polished execution. We finished the night with dessert: the Cookie Dough Flight, which is an experience all on its own--playful, rich, and plated like a fine dining tasting menu. My wife also had the Flourless Chocolate Torte, and it was divine--dense in the best way, like a velvet punch of dark chocolate. The energy in the room is magnetic, and the buzz around their upcoming 3,000 sq ft expansion--complete with live music--is completely justified. Bourbon Gospel isn't just part of the future of Columbia nightlife--it's leading it. Whether you're coming for the cocktails, the dessert, or just the vibe, don't sleep on this place. The welcome is real, the drinks are strong, and the vision is just beginning. Pro tip: Come hungry, stay late, and introduce yourself to the owners--you'll be glad you did. read more

Great food. Great service. The space is welcoming and fun. The outdoor patio is my favorite. Great spot for a date night!

Wow, wow, wow!! Awesome dining experience in such a cool space, with an excellent atmosphere and wonderful service. We used RESY to make the reservation and it asked if it was for a special event. We were with my sister and brother in law who were celebrating their 1st anniversary and the staff had a a congratulations card on our table and provided a complimentary dessert! The food and drink menu is unique and everything we had was delicious. The only complaint we had was that my wife asked for her burger to be cooked well and it was borderline medium. Will definitely make this a regular stop when heading to Nashville. read more

I am a foodie from Southern California, not a snob. I rate the food, the service, and the general establishment. This Bourbon Gospel was a real treat. The food was excellent, nice variety and presented very nicely...delicious. Our server "Hudson" was really a nice young man and very helpful but was slammed with guests and the kitchen was backed up so a bit slow. The food prep was great, we had several appetizers and then main courses. The signature drink menu was fantastic. It's really rare when I do a review so this is now one of my "go to " restaurants. read more

We were in a group of four...with friends visiting from New Hampshire. The front dining/bar area is small but cozy and well decorated! Our server was very knowledgeable and super friendly! We loved the short but diverse menu with both healthy and comfort-food options - we got the deviled eggs app (amazing) as well as the dumplings (also quite yummy)!! Then, having not eaten all day, we decided to try ALL SIX of the meals on the menu - family style - and were quite pleased with all of them! We didn't even leave much to take home! The guys got the two different old fashions and I got the Dolly's Bathwater (or something like that) and she got a martini - they were all well mixed, refreshing without tasting like just sugar water! We will definitely return! Hopefully we'll plan far enough ahead to catch a show in the courtyard area! read more

Nothing like this place anywhere, especially on Saturday's when they host a singers and songwriters nite, Food is soooo good and service excellent with a splash of that Tennessee charm. Michael and his wife Alisa ensure everyone is well taken care from start to finish and we will definitely be back. The times I've been to Bourbon Gospel all I saw were fun loving and joyful folks enjoying the incredible atmosphere, food, service and of course the amazing music. Gotta stop in if your anywhere near Columbia. read more

What a great evening out. The food is to die for. I rate The shrimp and Grits as a 15 on a scale from 1-10. The service was top notch. Our drinks were never empty and our server was phenomenal!! The ambiance is so cool. If you want to eat outside the patio and bar is great. If you want to sit inside plenty of space. Make sure you set up a reservation because the restaurant fills up fast. Thanks Michael, Alisa, Madison, Blake and the entire staff for a awesome time read more

What a place! Columbia is blessed to have this establishment downtown! They are expanding too so more people can enjoy! They love people and it shows! Saturday night patio w live musicians is a must do! Just know the drink menu and food menu is limited on Saturdays on the patio only but still phenomenal items to choose from! Speaking of the menu it's amazing! Brisket tacos w meat that is local! Asian Chicken lettuce wraps! Cookie dough flight for dessert! Yummy! Also ask for some off menu items like brisket Snobby Joes!! We enjoyed the owner, Micheal, hospitality so much! He's just for a flare for this whole thing! Run don't walk to Bourbon Gospel! read more

Food service and atmosphere were great. I had the pork chop and the Gruyère appetizer was yum!!

Hidden GEM in downtown Columbia. I say hidden because you can't really see the sign from Main street unless you are walking the sidewalk. And, their beautiful beer garden is tucked away at the back of the restaurant. The menu is small, but everything on it is DELICIOUS! Make sure you ask about their daily specials - they won't be listed on the menu. We had the chicken pot pie, the snobby Joe's (brisket sliders), and the shrimp and grits. Note: if you do not like "spicy", best to ask about what you order. All three entrees had some wonderful "kick" to them (yes, even the chicken pot pie). Plus, you can't go wrong with any of the sides, especially the Au Gratin Medallions or Mac-n-Cheese. We shared two of the appetizers - The Burrata and the Deviled Egg Flight. BOTH were AMAZING! The craft cocktails are excellent as well. We had Dolly's Bathwater and the Barrentine Old Fashioned. Finally... the service. OUTSTANDING. Tucker was wonderful. He kept our water glasses full, and he was genuinely concerned that we enjoyed every plate and glass set in front of us. The owner even made a quick stop to say hello. TIP: If you want to enjoy the great live music in the beer garden, BEST make a reservation at least a week in advance! All around this is a MUST DO for dinner or cocktails. Recommend your make a reservation (through RESY) because the restaurant is small. But even given its size, it was quiet and intimate for a relaxing evening of great food and fantastic cocktails. read more

We visited Bourbon Gospel for the first time last night. We were quickly greeted by the owner, Michael. We were seated in the outdoor beer garden which had a beautiful and elevated but relaxed ambience. Our server, Alex, was knowledgeable and attentive and gave top-notch service. We shared the Baked Gruyère which was above expectations. For our entrees we had the chicken pot pie, the burger with Mac'n'Cheese, and the salmon with au gratin medallions, then finished with the Cookie Dough Flight for dessert. It could not have been any better!!!! I cannot recommend this place highly enough! read more

Amazing food, drinks, and service across the board, not a bad item on the menu! Chocolate old fashioned, upscale burger and smoked brisket tacos were excellent. The servers are personal and genuine, and the owners Michael and Alisa clearly care about each one of their patrons, they took time to meet and greet myself and my wife. Second mile service, for sure! The music/songwriter aspect adds a legit Nashville ambiance. Absolute 10/10 experience, the best that Columbia has to offer by far. Would recommend the burger, smoked brisket tacos, deviled egg flight, cookie dough flight, chocolate old fashioned, and flourless chocolate torte. read more

Food is awesome, looking forward to their expansion. Current spot was still awesome to be able to enjoy.

What an amazing night! Four of us went for one of my girlfriends birthday. Great ambiance, amazing food, great live music and what a wonderful family that opened this restaurant with great visions for this space!! We cannot even wait to go back! Thank you Alisa for such a memorable night. Oh, we made reservations and they had a birthday card for my friend at the table waiting for her arrival! They even brought her an amazing chocolate torte for free. A wonderful night. read more

Discovered this place purely by accident by finding a shady spot to park the car. Made reservations for an early dinner and was warmly greeted by Melissa. All the tables in the front (and the bar) was full of ladies having a grand time. She moved us to a quiet table in the next room. Ordered 2 of their creative cocktails from Hannah to get started. Shortly afterwards, Evan came over and apologized that they were out of one ingrediant for my drink. He suggested another option that was close and it was spot on. This is what customer service is about. He just didn't say "sorry, we're out of it", but came up with a great alternative. We started with pistaschio dusted burrata. My wife ordered the peppercorn crusted pork chop, while I opted for the salmon with bourbon glaze. Both were terrific, but I think the pork chop was the daily special. They are working on a wine list so Evan just recited what was available. I am not a chardonnay person, but this one was from Oregon and unoaky and went well with our dishes. Topped off the meal splitting a piece of decadent dark chocolate torte. So, they get a rare "10" for cuisine as well as circuses. Again, kudos to all the staff. Columbia needs more options for dining and Bourbon Gospel is a welome addition. read more

The service was incredibly friendly. I waited a lot longer for our cocktails than I expected at a place of this caliber. However, aside from that - this place was incredible. The shrimp & grits were phenomenal. The burger was unexpected, but delicious. The flourless chocolate torte was divine! The owner was attentive, and even sang "Happy Birthday" while delivering a hand-written card. The atmosphere was fantastic. Live music on Saturdays from talented songwriters. We'll be back for sure. read more

We had a terrific meal on the patio. Food was delicious especially the shrimp and grits which was surprisingly decadent. The burger was outstanding and the brisket tacos had top shelf brisket. The salmon was good but not exceptional. We topped off the meal with a flight of cookie dough which was unique and special. We missed out on live music which would have made this a perfect night out. The service was attentive and accommodating. Recommended! read more
