There are multiple restaurants and bars in the Vista area but we had a difficult time finding any place that catered to adults who wanted a nice, slightly sophisticated place to have a drink. Too many tacky bars with rap and club music blasting out. Motor Supply Company is a definite highlight but the pickings are slim after that.

If you're in Columbia, don't miss 5 Points and the Vista. Two distinct neighborhoods, both with great restaurants, bars, and fun crowds.

Restaurants, art studio's, museums, music venues and so much more. Very easy to get around in this area and if you want to stay overnight in Columbia, you have one option after another. Everything from the major hotel chains, to nice B and B's to book and enjoy. Don't forget, Columbia is well known for how hot, (hot, hot) it... More

It's a great place to catch a band or just a good dinner. Lots of clubs and resturants in walking distance, good draw for visitors.

The vista is a wonderful old Warehouse district that in the last 15 or so years has really turned around. There are now numerous restraunts, clubs and bars. It is a great scene for younger to older adults and you don't find too much of the "college" scene. For great dining options in Columbia, The Vista is a great place... More
