This is a beer rating website, so that was my primary focus with this rating. Unfortunately there are only 4 beers on tap, and the ESB was the best, but the beer left something to be deesired. That being said, the food was excellent. It had a great pub atmosphere, but I have a soft spot for exposed brick. If nothing else, the food is well worth the trip

Very cool place a block away from USC in Columbia. Great atmosphere with delicious food- had a really good salad. Beer is average to good, not a huge selection but still tasty stuff. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town.

Great hole in the wall feel here. 3 beers, wheat, esb and pale on always with a fourth rotating and one guest. Great service. Next time will try some of the food.

The beer is nice and the food very nice. The barman was excellent and the place felt like a proper pub instead of some poncey beer bar. Just my kind of place. Re-visit: went on Saturday evening after Thanksgiving. Again very good beer, the ESB was excellent and the stout a solid offering. Service was prompt and friendly, an all round good time again!

Very friendly, neighborhood bar atmosphere. Beers are good, if not great & the ESB is a personal favorite. Kitchen gets many menu items locally, so food is fresh & tasty!

The ambiance here is like a "nice dive." Service is outstanding and the food (specialty pizza, prosciutto appetizer & pulled pork sandwich) was STELLAR. The beers, however--and there were only 4 of them--were just OK. But that’s OK when pints only cost $3.75 (!!??). Next time I swing through Columbia, I will definitely make it a point to stop here again.

A nice little place. The ambiance is great. Not many places you can go in South Carolina and see animal heads on the wall. The ESB here is excellent.

A stones throw away from the University of South Carolina, this Brewpub, "Hunter-Gatherer", is a place I have heard of and driven by many times without knowing what a gem it is. There are many places to go have a good mass produced beer in Columbia, SC, but I must say the atmosphere of this establishment is rustically elegant and welcoming to all. The service has been exceptionally friendly and helpful. the Selection is nothing to write home about but the food menu is intriguing. The beer is all house with a guest tap or two. the value for the food, drink, and atmosphere is very pleasant. the establishment is a gem.
