What to Do

Nickelodeon Theater
This is hands down a must for me. If you’ve ever been to the Terrace theater in Charleston, it’s a similar vibe. Cozy, intimate, indie theater with good snacks in the heart of downtown. 🙌🏼

Papa Jazz Record Shoppe
This is a great stop before happy hour or dinner. They have an amazing selection of music and a dedicated and passionate staff - if you’re on a date, each of you pick out one of your favorite albums to share with your partner!

The Grand on Main
This is the spot for you if you are looking for relaxed fun + an activity. (Watch the video in my Moments for an updated look at their interior). The Grand offers night bowling, bar food, and a place to watch the game.

South Carolina State House
One of the more picturesque locations in Columbia, a walk on the statehouse grounds before dinner is always fun.
See More
The Horseshoe
A walk on the Horseshoe is great before dinner. Or, if the weather is nice, stop by the Gourmet Shop first and buy supplies for a picnic here.

Where to Eat & Drink

Bourbon
Located right on Main Street, Bourbon has been around for years in Columbia and there’s a reason. The food is delicious, the staff is fun, and as the name suggests they have over 200 different bourbon options.

Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe
Go-to for dessert in the Vista + an espresso martini 🍸 ☕️

Lula Drake Wine Parlour
Think charcuterie, Cacio e Pepe, pasta and a great wine selection tucked away in this wine bar.

Hendrix
If you’re looking for a thoughtfully curated, Instagram worthy meal, go to Hendrix. Or, check out their rooftop bar for drinks + small plates. ❤️‍🔥

Where to Stay

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown the Vista
This option is located in the Vista, walking distance to everything both in the Vista *and* on Main Street due to where it’s positioned. The staff is so helpful and they also have a bar and restaurant that were poppin on a Friday night.
