Harpo's was Shelby and her classmates' favorite bar to hang out at after study sessions or tests.
AKA, Big 12. Great drink specials and great burgers makes this one of Kirt's favorite spots.
Tellers is one of Shelby’s favorite spots. They have great martinis, delicious food, and even brunch on Sundays.
Check out the lovely views of downtown CoMo from the bar on top of the Broadway Hotel. This bar is open to both guests and the public.
Burgers. Chili. Beer. Billards. That's it! Also cash only, but so worth it.
Lovingly referred to as "Trops" this bar has alcoholic frozen drinks. While you're not really supposed to drink them out on the street, these delicious drinks are typically taken to go. Check out their website for coupons. Shelby's favorite is the Sweet Tart, Kirt's is the Brain Freeze.
What used to be Tonic (RIP), is a now a super cool spot that has a full bar and tons of arcade games.
If you have a sweet tooth, get some ice cream here! They always have unique flavor's on rotation. They have sundaes and boozy options too.
This brewery is a cool hangout spot, offering yard games and more.
This spot is further away from Columbia, but if you have time to hang out on the Missouri River Bluffs and enjoy some local wine, this would be the spot to go!
A Columbia icon for many years, this is a classic diner. Shelby orders the Matt’s Dilemma, egg sunny side up, add jalapeños, and a cup of coffee. Kirt gets a plain old Stretch.
This is the go-to spot for pizza and beer in Columbia which was awarded Best College Pizza in the country by Barstool Sports, and a 6.7 from the One Bite Review. Shelby's fave is a whole wheat thin crust with sausage and black olive. Kirt's fave is their supreme pizza.
Everything, and we mean everything, on the menu is delicious.
It’s not downtown, but this is Shelby’s favorite sushi restaurant!
They have the best egg rolls in town (per Shelby).
Mizzou will likely be quiet since it’s summer break, but it’s no less beautiful. Take a walk down memory lane, or imagine Kirt or Shelby walking to and from class.
