Flat Branch Pub & Brewing

Flat Branch Pub & Brewing opened its doors on April 18, 1994 in downtown Columbia, MO. The pub gets its name from a nearby creek which was the water source for Columbia’s first settlers. The pub occupies a 1927 brick warehouse with a curved, barrel-trussed roof that was once a Hudson car dealership.

If you can't decide which beer to try you can try any (6) beers as a beer flight for $7.50. I can never decide because they're all good! *Side Note: Esquire rated Flat Branch as a top bar nationally.

Men's Health Mag

The Green Chili beer—brewed with Anaheim and Serrano peppers—is a favorite among Mizzou students. And since every pint is just $4, you’ll be able to sample plenty of the pub’s more exotic options. Read more

Dustin Hile

Great place to enjoy a meal while throwing back a few brews. Loved the Honey Wheat beer , & the nachos were delicious! The steak wrap was great & the Garlic Five Cheese pizza melts in your mouth!

Alison Hillman

If you leave hungry, it's your own fault. Amazing pretzels (get the spinach dip ). Skip fries and get the apple sauce . If you love root beer ... Do not miss out on theirs.

Kent Ahrens

If you like a dark beer , you can't go wrong with an Oil Change Stout . However, if it's on-tap, try the Baltic Porter instead. It's a seasonal brew , but I think it's the best thing they make, bar none!

Jenny Reinkemeyer

Delicious food and a revolving beer menu . Great patio area when it’s warm. If you get a chance to have the vanilla bean ale it’s FABULOUS!

Lisa

Everything is great here! The Oil Change Stout just may be my all time avorite beer ! I have to get one every time we visit.

Frank M. Severino Jr

Ask for Gunner. Great food and excellent outdoor seating !! If not it was nice and cool inside.

Glenn Logan

Excellent food and beers . My favorite beer is a seasonal which is often difficult to catch...Vanilla Bean Lager . Try the Chokes 'n Cheese ...always a great bet.

Esquire

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. The Chokes & Cheese artichoke dip alone washed down with a pint of the Katy Trail pale ale . Done. Read more

Robin Wilson

Sitting outside grab yourself any sandwich . They are all good! #socialclimberpro in #COMO

Matt Williams

After 10pm on Monday thru Thursday, their delicious assortment of pizzas are half price. A late-night snack AND tomorrow's lunch for under five bucks: best deal in town ?

Tessa McKinnon

Mmmm green chili chicken fingers with salsa ranch. Late night flat branch is the best with half price pizzas and apps. Great local brewery . No complaints.

Scott Wendling

The strawberry beer in the summer is awesome but it goes really fast so get it when you can.

Peter Lu

Strawberry ale is amazing, but smoked tuna sandwich is VERY SALTY. Try not to come here during the rush hour (5:30-8:30PM). You will get better attention and service when this place is not busy.

Steve Gebrowsky

Angela did a great job of recommending both brew and dinner options.

Ana Blažeković

Try the Garlic 5 cheese pizza ! I scarfed the whole thing down in no time at all

Joel Hansma

Really liked the Ahi Tuna special. The green chili beer was quite different, had to at least try it. Liked the Honey Wheat , and the Oil Change Stout the best. The Buffalo Meatloaf was good also

Owen

Great place with good food and home-brewed beer . Watch out for the green chili beer though; it is very very strong and not subtle at all.

Joseph Snyder

Worth the wait. The brown ale is outstanding. And the service friendly and accommodating. Thanks especially Kaitie E.

Amanda Trent

Whatever you do, you HAVE to try the 'chokes and cheese dip with some tortilla chips .

Ashley Thornhill

Go to Flat Branch and get the Chokes and Cheese dip ... or the Flat Branch Burger ... or the pretzels ... basically anything on the menu!

Ryan Past

Beautiful place in a quiet setting. Great for lunch , dinner or a drink.

James Robertson

Fun place with a good variety of beers and food.

Eric Wallen

The classic pub burger was fantastic, tasted like a home grilled burger . The sweet potato chips are great as well , sweet enough to be a desert !

Kent Ahrens

Seven of the eight beers Americans no longer love are AB-InBev and MillerCoors products. The other is a Pabst creation. Branch out and enjoy a great local brew !

Lauren Lutz

Get the green chili with a side of tomato juice .... Or the nachos with spin dip instead of melted cheese . You're welcome.

Kiley Miller

Order anything with a side of sweet potato chips and a cold beer & you're off to a great start.

Matthew Nelson

Loved the Green chili as well as the Brown ale beers! Prost!

Simone Diamond

They have a ton of great appetizers . My personal favorite is the pretzel twists with spinach artichoke dip ... SO GOOD.

JP John

Order Green Chili Chicken fingers with a side of fries and your favorite brew! You won't be disappointed!!!

Becky Jordan

Great food...when it comes out hot, and I'd be happy to let the server know my complaint. if she ever came to the table.

Jessica Engle

Great beer and some pretty tasty food here. The patio is very nice when it's sunny.

Phil Dexter

Green chili beer is really 'interesting' but really they should save their chile for the nachos (hint: put it on the nachos FBBP!)

Zach Hedrick

It's hard to keep me away from the Cajun pasta ! Make sure you order the beer sampler !

Brian Koonce

Flat Branch is by far my favorite place to get pizza . And their pretzels are AWESOME

Kent Ahrens

While the food here is great, you have to at least sample the beer . Going to a brewpub for the food is like going to a whorehouse to hear the piano player !

Scott Wendling

The crème brûlée bread pudding is awesome. Even if you don't have room you should try and fit this.

Alissa

Get the pretzel twists with spinach dip . It's worth the extra dollar.

Lauren Lutz

Get the wings and sweet potato chip ! Oh and for dessert , a shot of patron... It's like the size of a small child.

Jasmine Braggs

I ordered a salad and it was a bit larger than expected! So come hungry!

Zack Burleson

Get a side of chokes and cheese to dip your fries in. It'll blow your mind.

Chad Foster

The stout is delicious. As is their pesto & artichoke pizza !

Erica Evans

Great place to come to watch the game or enjoy a romantic dinner . Love the charbroiled chicken and red cream soda !

Brittany Nicole

The best salmon in Columbia and great beer selection

Doug Couch

Carona Crowlers (32 oz) are $8. Growlers are $15.

Eric

Get the green chili beer with a shot of bloody marry mix! pesto pizza also a must!

Becca

Flat Branch's patio is my favorite place in Columbia to have a casual evening. And I agree, get anything...it's all delish

Mary Green

Everything.... but the spinach dip is excellent!

Sage Izadi-Moghadam

Try the Shepherds pie and wash it down with a Stout Oil Change !!!! MMmmmmm delicious!
