Lula Drake Wine Parlour - Columbia

Excellent food, wine and waiting staff. Friendly atmosphere with a fantastic jazz duo near the entrance. We had a big 19th anniversary there. Very recommended.

I’ve lived in Columbia my entire life and this is by far one of my favorite “hidden gems”. While the space is small, it is intimate. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and I’ve never been without seeing the owner working just as hard as the staff. They have a great rotating selection of wine and the food is always amazing.

Lula Drake is a sophisticated friend who makes you feel right at home. To hear the food descriptions alone is worth the trip but trust, the taste lives up to the words.

A friend and I were in Columbia for USC's Homecoming. We had some time before our first party and decided to have some drinks. Thanks to Yelp we found this hidden jewel! Upon entering I felt instantly transported to a different place and time. The subtle lighting cast a perfect glow throughout this quaint establishment. We were promptly greeted and advise to select our seat. Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable. Their wine list is extensive. They even offer a wine I can no longer find of Charlotte. We quickly ordered a bottle along with two desserts! We shared the Cookie Butter Crepe and Flourless Chocolate Cake. Both were delicious and perfect compliments to our wine! While we only had desserts, they also offer food! We will definitely return to try some and enjoy another bottle of wine!

This place is truly special. Their wine selection is unmatched in Columbia, and their food menu is incredible. The Kentucky Fried Chicken pasta dishes are amazing--some of the best food I've had anywhere. It's one of my favorite places to go unwind and catch up with friends. The atmosphere, service, food, and drinks are all excellent. They get everything right.
