Jack Douglass Saloon in Columbia

Beer, food, sarsaparilla, and an old time piano player!

Chilli dog, enough said.

Great place.

On my first trip to Columbia State Historic Park, one of our teachers marched all 200 third and fourth graders through Jack Douglass Saloon lecturing us on the evils of the ‘foul drink.’ I am sure the bartender laughed his ass off after we left, I know I would. Years later, I have visited this fine established several times with zero guilt. The saloon has great lunches and sarsaparilla.

Good bar, here you can get Miller High Life, known as "The Champagne of Beers".

Walking by and heard music. Local folk music group was playing and they were great. Felt like a family owned and operated establishment. Worth a visit.

Very fun family oriented great food!

We just went for the Sarsparilla. The bartender filled our mugs with ice (one never ices root beer, so I assume Sarsparilla should be the same), then squirted the Sarsparilla over. It tasted watered down - nowhere as tasty as we remembered from our many previous visits.

Very friendly, excellent service. The owner has a lot of knowledge about the saloon and the area. They have cute little scrap books about the long history of the place. It was a great stop for us! This town is really neat to see. I wish we could have been there a lot earlier to explore. Most of the town is closed by 5.

Toco Tuesday was yummy along with the excellent old timey live music. Reminded of Irish pub music.

Seriously, best street tacos! Tuesday's are awesome because we go have some street tacos! When I say some, I mean like more than 5! Not because they are small...they are loaded! The tacos are just that good! Get some Sarsaparilla on tap and have a great evening listening to locals get together to jam #localspot #livemusic

What a gem!!! Amazing food and good service and wonderful piano player :)

Worst service ever! Waited and waited for the server and when she finally came over to us we very politely tried to order our food only to be told she’s not taking food orders. She was the rudest person in town and we just left to get food somewhere else. Will never return. Don’t know why she was such a b*tch when all we asked for was food in a restaurant that’s supposed to serve food. Everyone in this place looked depressed waiting for service. The good reviews here must be fake.

Fun, good food, and a piano player!

This is a must while in Columbia! Great food, drink, and history. Family friendly. The gentleman working while we had lunch was terrific. Also, made a point to find us in another store in Columbia and return the sunglasses I left on the table.

Great food, great music!

I didn't have the time to go inside, sure a next time.

Outstanding service and great food!

Colombia State Park is lucky to have a place that pays tribute to the town's past while catering to the changing needs of the community with great Pizza as well as old time favorites like wild Cherri Soda. If they could just figure out how to get the Sasperilla back it would be 5 stars.

Had a great time here on the 4th of July listening to a couple of piano players while my daughters enjoyed their first sarsaparilla, fun saloon!

Taco Tuesday fabulous

Great staff in a great town
