Brewery Profile

1839 Taphouse

Since opening in 2010, 1839 Taphouse has become part of Columbia’s casual beer-and-pub circuit rather than a narrowly defined beer-geek stop. A visitor walking in should expect a tap-focused bar with 24 rotating draft lines that include both craft and domestic options, so the list can serve mixed groups with different tastes. The food side is a significant part of the visit: pizza, burgers, wings, and other pub fare are part of the regular offering, and the pizza has been described as award-winning. Early recognition came in Inside Columbia’s 2011 Best of Columbia awards, where the venue was named Best New Bar and Best New Restaurant, with additional distinctions for Best Guy’s Night Out and Best Bartender.

Travelers passing through central Missouri often look for places that work for more than one purpose: a draft beer stop, a meal, a place to watch a game, or somewhere to linger with friends after campus, work, or a day on the road. 1839 Taphouse fits that pattern through variety rather than a fixed house-beer identity. Because the taps rotate, the day’s selection is best confirmed at the bar, especially for visitors seeking a specific style. The experience is also built around activity. A gameroom with pool, darts, pinball, and skee ball gives the space a recreation-bar feel, while the broad draft list and pub menu make it accessible for people who may not all be ordering the same kind of beer.

For planning, the known visitor amenities include outdoor seating and a family-friendly setting. The patio is a notable feature, with a stone fireplace and multiple large screens, making it useful in mild weather or when a televised event is part of the outing. Regular specials are available during the week, including a weekday happy hour from 3pm to 6pm, though visitors should verify current details before relying on a particular offer. Groups that want a full meal, a rotating tap list, and games under one roof will find the most complete version of the visit by checking the day’s pours, asking about current specials, and choosing between the indoor gameroom atmosphere and the patio seating when available.
