At this charming gastropub in historic Earlewood, indulge in creative Southern comfort dishes paired with seasonal cocktails and an inviting atmosphere.
"Located in Cottontown, one of Columbia’s oldest planned suburbs, the War Mouth has become a neighborhood favorite since its 2015 inception. Owners and founders Porter Barron and Rhett Elliott wanted to bring whole-hog barbecue to local diners looking for a place to eat, drink, and enjoy a neighborhood hang. The menu is full of creative takes on classic dishes from the Midlands and the Pee Dee. Outdoor seating is adjacent to the smoker, the heart of the restaurant. Executive chef Harold Pendleton joins other members of the War Mouth family to tend that smoker into the wee hours of the morning, socializing as they transform turkey, brisket, chicken wings, or whole hogs into the deliciously smoky meats that the restaurant is known for." - Anne Wolfe Postic
"Fashioned from a tin made for holding breath mints, this tiny cooking surface is powered by a single briquette of charcoal. It doesn’t seem especially practical, unless you’re cooking for a small family of mice, but the design is allegedly powerful enough to grill an entire hot dog, which is pretty impressive considering its size." - Amy McCarthy
"It’s advised to try several cocktails at once at the War Mouth. Bar Manager David Adedokun plans them as a group each season based on what’s inspiring him from Midland farms and far off travels. The barbecue-leaning restaurant is an anchor in historic Earlewood with delicious iterations of hash and rice and deviled eggs. Punchy decor and indoor/outdoor seating make the War Mouth a worthy destination." - Stephanie Burnette
