About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Located in a lovingly restored 1930's RC Cola bottling plant, Cola's is a "casual" fine dining bar/restaurant specializing in seafood, steaks and other culinary creations influenced by a broad range of ethnic cooking. There is an emphasis on fresh ingredients and locally grown food where possible.
Weather permitting, two garage doors open up the restaurant to views of the Statehouse and allow our guests to enjoy the bustle of downtown Columbia. Cola's boast a 40 foot long bar, equipped with a rolling ladder to access our extensive wine selection. If preferred, try one of our house cocktails or choose a brew from our large selection of bottled beers.
Cola's has ample room to host your private functions in either of the two private dining rooms, seating up to as many as 50. Large booths adorn the main dining room and there is table seating for small and large parties.

    This was our third visit to Cola's for a birthday dinner and it was a wonderful experience. We get to Columbia a few times each year and Cola's has become one of just a couple restaurants that we really enjoy. Each time there has been a unique fresh fish entree on the menu that has been outstanding.

    The service was great and the burgers were so good, one of the best in the city. Unfortunately, we were seated at one of the coldest and draftiest spots in the restaurant.

    Cola’s was delightful for our family of seven to celebrate Thanksgiving together. We appreciate you doing all the work so we could devote all our time to visiting with each other without interruption.

    As always, Cola's did not disappoint! The traditional turkey dinner option served on Thanksgiving is OUTSTANDING!!!! And, their craft cocktails are always on point!

    Have been to Cola before and the food was good. Went for Thanksgiving this year and had the traditional turkey dinner. The meat was a bit dry. The rest of the meal was so so, and way overpriced for what you got. Would not pick it again for Thanksgiving. The service was very good.
