Whether you call him pops, daddio, father, or just plain ol’ dad, June 15 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, always a classic gift, but for the ultimate cool dad, shop one-of-a-kind finds at Old Skool Outfitter. 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 great meal. Columbia SC has plenty of places to dine for Father’s Day from breweries to fine dining. Iron Hill’s Sip & Savor Sundays get you a 12 oz Prime Rib with mashed potatoes au jus for $29.99. Add a beer (may we recommend Dad’s Got Jokes IPA?) for only $5.
For the outdoorsy pop, make a reservation at The Hollow where the menu focuses on wild game and seasonal produce. He’ll feel right at home under their greenery covered bar.
If your dad is the type to keep it low key, a table filled with barbeque at The War Mouth is just the ticket.
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.
There are also so many events going on this Father’s Day weekend. Check out the full list on our calendar of events. We especially recommend Paddle & Pint at Saluda Shoals.
