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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Ask for Gunner. Great food and excellent outdoor seating !! If not it was nice and cool inside.
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.
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
Sitting outside grab yourself any sandwich . They are all good! #socialclimberpro in #COMO
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 ?
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.
The strawberry beer in the summer is awesome but it goes really fast so get it when you can.
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.
Angela did a great job of recommending both brew and dinner options.
Try the Garlic 5 cheese pizza ! I scarfed the whole thing down in no time at all
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
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.
Worth the wait. The brown ale is outstanding. And the service friendly and accommodating. Thanks especially Kaitie E.
Whatever you do, you HAVE to try the 'chokes and cheese dip with some tortilla chips .
Go to Flat Branch and get the Chokes and Cheese dip ... or the Flat Branch Burger ... or the pretzels ... basically anything on the menu!
Beautiful place in a quiet setting. Great for lunch , dinner or a drink.
Fun place with a good variety of beers and food.
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 !
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 !
Get the green chili with a side of tomato juice .... Or the nachos with spin dip instead of melted cheese . You're welcome.
Order anything with a side of sweet potato chips and a cold beer & you're off to a great start.
Loved the Green chili as well as the Brown ale beers! Prost!
They have a ton of great appetizers . My personal favorite is the pretzel twists with spinach artichoke dip ... SO GOOD.
Order Green Chili Chicken fingers with a side of fries and your favorite brew! You won't be disappointed!!!
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.
Great beer and some pretty tasty food here. The patio is very nice when it's sunny.
Green chili beer is really 'interesting' but really they should save their chile for the nachos (hint: put it on the nachos FBBP!)
It's hard to keep me away from the Cajun pasta ! Make sure you order the beer sampler !
Flat Branch is by far my favorite place to get pizza . And their pretzels are AWESOME
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 !
The crème brûlée bread pudding is awesome. Even if you don't have room you should try and fit this.
Get the pretzel twists with spinach dip . It's worth the extra dollar.
Get the wings and sweet potato chip ! Oh and for dessert , a shot of patron... It's like the size of a small child.
I ordered a salad and it was a bit larger than expected! So come hungry!
Get a side of chokes and cheese to dip your fries in. It'll blow your mind.
The stout is delicious. As is their pesto & artichoke pizza !
Great place to come to watch the game or enjoy a romantic dinner . Love the charbroiled chicken and red cream soda !
The best salmon in Columbia and great beer selection
Carona Crowlers (32 oz) are $8. Growlers are $15.
Get the green chili beer with a shot of bloody marry mix! pesto pizza also a must!
Flat Branch's patio is my favorite place in Columbia to have a casual evening. And I agree, get anything...it's all delish
Everything.... but the spinach dip is excellent!
Try the Shepherds pie and wash it down with a Stout Oil Change !!!! MMmmmmm delicious!
The Sunday Brunch is amazing. Corned beef hash and French toast are must eats. Can't wait to try more!! - Tressa
Great place to relax and have a beer with friends - great vibe, plenty of seating inside and out. - Max
The hot wings were very overcooked. It is a very pleasant atmosphere. Great for hanging and drinking! - Blake
Ask for a Bear Claw. It's not on the menu but it will rock your world! - Dan Brower
Plenty of excellent choice! They have several flavors that you won't find ANYWHERE else. Make sure and try the most authentic ice cream shop in COMO! - Zach Hedrick
