This popular grill puts a handmade spin on the idea of “happy hour snacks.” You’ll find hearty BBQ meatloaf sliders, Japanese-inflected grilled chicken yakitori, and a freewheeling approach to the pizza in the form of inventive flatbreads like braised short rib and aged cheddar. The feel is casual, but you’ll likely feel like you’ve stumbled into something altogether out of the ordinary.

8872 McGaw Rd Suite C
Columbia, MD 21045

If “best happy hour in Columbia, MD” means savory hot wings, hot crab dip, or tater tots loaded with bacon, “beer cheese” and housemade ranch, you’ve come to the right place. There’s always a game on, friendly staff and a welcoming crowd at this justifiably popular sports bar and all-around watering hole.
And remember, when it’s time to refill your prescription, stop by your favorite Columbia cannabis dispensary.
