By the time you leave Mizzou, you'll have visited every hotspot in Como. This list will get you started with the essentials and maybe even let you in on a few secrets. It's time to DO COLLEGE RIGHT.
Student Center · University of Missouri · 21 tips and reviews
Samantha Kubota: Get yourself a caramel apple spice from Starbucks, then wander. See if you can get to the middle of the two wings. Also, look for secret rooms. I feel like the secret societies would meet there.
901 E Rollins St (btwn Missouri Ave & Hitt St), Columbia, MO
Burger Joint · University of Missouri · 18 tips and reviews
Eric Zigler: The best hotspot on campus. Grab a bite to eat, play a round of pool and hop on the jukebox. Fill the place with the sweet sounds of The Eagles, Foreigner, Bob Dylan and Boston. In that order, please.
Pizzeria · Downtown Columbia · 103 tips and reviews
Kevin Reape: Incredible pizza place. Cannot even recommend one, because their all amazing. Just check it out if you haven't and you will again and again. Guaranteed.
115 S 5th St (btwn Locust & Cherry St), Columbia, MO
Brewery · Flat Branch · 137 tips and reviews
Ashley Thornhill: Go to Flat Branch and get the Chokes and Cheese dip... or the Flat Branch Burger... or the pretzels... basically anything on the menu!
Mexican Restaurant · University of Missouri · 38 tips and reviews
Eric Zigler: Get upset when you realize the guy in front of you received more rice than you did. Unfair? Absolutely. Are you going to do anything about it? Not a chance.
Piano Bar · Downtown Columbia, Columbia, MO · 12 tips and reviews
Eric Zigler: Fact: They're going to play the Mizzou fight song and you, in your drunken state of mind, won't remember any of the words. So just for you my friend, here they are... (see picture). Now make us proud.
1005 E Walnut St (btwn 9th & Orr St), Columbia, MO
Diner · North Village · 40 tips and reviews
Dieter Kurtenbach: The best breakfast place (see: hangover food) in Columbia. I always get the KC strip steak with eggs, hashbrowns and toast. MMMMM. The staff is almost too nice. Two Diet Cokes and small talk everytime
Eric Zigler: It's 1:30 in the morning, you're in a vehicle full of drunk people and there's fifteen cars in the drive thru. College town life at its finest, my friend.
1000 W Rollins Rd (at Rollins & Hitt St), Columbia, MO
College Gym · University of Missouri · 37 tips and reviews
Eric Zigler: In all honesty, 95% of people that come here to workout have no idea what they're doing. So feel free to jump in and join the rest of us in being awkward and acting tough. Grrr. Grunt. Football. Etc.
