Whether you call him pops, daddio, father, or just plain ol’ dad, June 21st is the day to celebrate one of the most important men in your life, and Columbia SC is here to help you celebrate Father’s Day this year.
Local Father’s Day Gifts
For the dad who always read just one more bedtime story to you, All Good Books and Ed’s Editions have a fantastic selection of reads. Bonus points if you write a little note in the front cover. The folks at Granger Owings can help you pick out the perfect tie for your dad. If your dad also goes by “Grill Master,” The Gourmet Shop has a collection of seasonings and sauces that will really up his game, not that he needs it of course.
Father’s Day Dining
Treat dad to a pint or two from breweries like Steel Hands in Cayce or Savage Craft in West Columbia. If it's fine dining you want, look no further than The Hollow in The Vista where he menu focuses on wild game and seasonal produce. He’ll feel right at home under their greenery covered bar. For a more relaxed vibe, make a pit stop at City Limits BBQ where Chef Robbie is a two-time James Beard finalist.
Things to Do on Father’s Day
Listen, some dads just want some quality time with their kids on Father’s Day. Don’t worry – there are plenty of things to do in Columbia SC this Father’s Day. Book a tee time at one of Columbia’s golf courses or better yet, enjoy an air-conditioned afternoon at the Player's Club with their golf simulators. Go head-to-head with your old man in a round of Skee Ball at Craft and Draft Irmo.
Grab the family and head to Palmetto Outdoors for a rollicking good time tubing down the river. Pro tip: bring canned beverages and rent a cooler with your tube to enjoy as you float down the river.
