Lively Columbia-area craft beer bar with a fully plant-based pub menu, strong beers and tacos/burgers; value is fair for the area, though occasional service lapses and rare food consistency issues appear.
Arts and Crafts Beer Parlor delivers solid food quality anchored by creative vegan pub fare—Korean BBQ tacos, jackfruit Al Pastor, and confident burgers that satisfy beyond expectation for the category. Friendly, attentive service and a strong craft beer program make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants, though occasional consistency lapses in toppings and stock prevent higher distinction. The cozy basement charm and loyal following position it as a reliable local favorite rather than a destination venue.
One caveat: Rare but noted handling of complaints felt dismissive to some guests
