five star review by Art P:

Gather COLA - what a fantastic concept like the one up in Greenville (Gather GVL). Great way to try local eateries, drinks, entertainment from the stage, and just simply 'gathering' with friends and the 4-legged ones are welcome, too. Opened in Dec'25, and already a hit. Can't wait until the weather breaks consistently.

five star review by Wendy F:

A place where there is something for everyone. You can find Mexican food, Mediterranean, good sandwiches, wings, burgers, peach cobblers, and amazing drinks all in one spot. The staff here is super friendly and you can tell the owners are proud of what they serve. It has a great atmosphere and is in a good area for families. There is plenty of seating both inside and in the hall areas, plus heaters and flexible seating which makes it comfortable year round.

Gather Cola is exactly what this city needed! A vibrant open-air food hall with great eats, cool vibes, and plenty of space to hang out. A must-visit in Columbia!
