Check out this months "Bartender of the Month" at The Tin Roof!

It all started in Atlanta back in 1996.  We were originally located in Buckhead where the locals kept the place packed and the musicians kept the place rocking.  With great live music being such a driving force for our success, it made perfect sense to move the concept to Music City, USA.  In February of 2002, we opened the Tin Roof on
Demonbreun Street
at the base of Nashville’s famed music row.  The Roof (as it’s known to our Regulars) has been a hit ever since.  Our customers love our laid-back feel and live entertainment—not to mention our made from scratch food served up by a friendly and eclectic staff. Since then, we’ve opened additional locations in Cool Springs TN, Lexington KY, Knoxville TN, and Columbia SC.  We have our eyes on a few other great new locations as well.  No matter which Tin Roof you visit, you’re sure to become a Regular.
So come on in and hang out where there’s no bitchin’ or whinin’ — just a laid-back atmosphere where you can kick back and have a good time. Bring us your stuff—we’ll hang it up! And remember… Relax! You’re at the Roof! Where everybody is somebody!
While you are there enjoy a chilled shot of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, a cocktail with Tito's Handmade Vodka or some delious Appleton Rum!

Join us @ Thirsty Fellow for some Tito's Handmade Vodka


Wikipedia: "fellow" is most often used in an academic context; a fellow is often part of an elite group of learned people who work together as peers (regardless of gender) in the pursuit of knowledge or practice
A "Thirsty Fellow"? You get the idea.
Thirsty Fellow Pizzeria and Pub is the brainchild of Willie Durkin, known for his previous establishments: Shannon's, Sneakers and Durkin's. Willie went in search of the perfect pie and found it in Charlotte. Peter Reinhart, author of American Pie, faculty member of Johnson and Wales, and owner of Pie Town, makes the pizza he was looking for. Willie successfully completed a pizza course at Johnson and Wales, and brought the perfect pizza to Columbia.
Owners Willie Durkin, Chuck Belcher, and Terry Davis want you to join the Thirsty Fellow family. Located in the USC Innovista area, we have a comfortable atmosphere, a great menu, a full bar and plenty of televisions. Open for lunch, dinner, late night and Sunday brunch, put Thirsty Fellow on your "to do" list.

!!Please come out and enjoy TITO'S HANDMADE VODKA - $4.00 ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!

Saluda’s now exists in the spirit of our veterans celebrations of special occasions.  Our unique ability to provide excellent service and incredible fare for parties of two to two hundred makes us the perfect choice for all special occasions.  There is no other restaurant that exists in the city of Columbia, which can offer you such a grand dining experience.

Restaurant Week featuring: Saki Tumi Grill & Sushi Bar

Three friends and graduates of the University of South Carolina felt that Columbia needed a restaurant that makes you feel like you're in a large city, while still offering price points and specials that are much lower than what you would expect in a larger market.

After research in cities such as Washington DC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Charlotte, we created SakiTumi. A hip, fun restaurant with atmosphere that is complimented by its incredible quality of food and drink.

After being open only 9 months, we were awarded "Best Sushi Restaurant" by the readers of the State newspaper. We continue our ethics of quality by ordering more fresh, #1 ahi tuna than any other restaurant in town. We never order frozen tuna - we order whole tuna loins that arrive at SakiTumi less than 24 hours out of the water. But we pride ourselves on much more than just our sushi.

SakiTumi boasts Columbia's most ecclectic menu, with a wide array of international grilled items and tapas dishes that have nothing to do with sushi. So to make it plain and simple, anyone can visit SakiTumi and find something on the menu that they will love.

GROUPS AND PARTIES: We have a room called "The Dragon Room" that is perfect for groups of 15-20 people. We can also make accomodations to host more than 20, simple email or call us to discuss options.

Join us for some wonderful cocktail and dinner specials.

First Course: Starter (choose from one of the following)
