Columbia Arts District
The emerging Columbia Arts District was established as a haven for artists and artisans to gather together in an eclectic mix of contemporary creative culture, near the heart of downtown Columbia only blocks from the Columbia Town Square. The revitalized Columbia Arts Building with its industrial vibe, offers a variety of cool places to shop, cowork, workout, and drink a java or microbrew. Check out 'The Bunker' artists' shop (micro retail), Bad Idea Brewing, Ollie and Finn's, Glover's Second Hand, CAB Movement, Cope, Wolf & Scout Coffee Bar, and Muletown Collective. Row & Co. is another unique building that houses KOKOs, Envy Hair Salon, Air Program, and Knitted City Designs. Other businesses in the Arts District include Barino Italian Southern Eatery, Battleground Cigar Lounge, Southern Clutter, Mule Town Lumberyard, and Ye Peddler Gift Shoppe.
