Hi, my name is Shep! Welcome to the Gervais & Vine website. Along with being the best tapas bar in Columbia, they're also going to help me find a home. I currently live with my foster mom, who is a volunteer with the Animal Protection League of South Carolina, an all-volunteer animal welfare organization here in the Midlands. For more info about me and how to become a pet foster parent, click here

In addition to helping me, they're going to help all my friends to by donating a dollar for every glass of Dog Tail Vineyards Watchdog White and Fire Hydryant Red you drink when you visit them (AND FIVE bucks for every bottle). The money will go towards veterinary care for my friends as well as food and supplies for us. So, please help out and have a glass of wine for us!

 


Great food at Gervais & Vine!

Welcome to our website! Hopefully, you will be able to find out just about everything you want to know about our little gem of a place right here. If not, feel free to give us a jingle at (803) 799-8463.

Gervais & Vine was opened in the Spring of 1999 by the owners of Mr. Friendly's New Southern Cafe and Solstice Kitchen & Wine Bar as a place for them to enjoy wine and tapas (Spanish for "small bites"). Eventually, the list grew to around 50 wines by the glass, as well as an extensive selection of beers and spirits from around the world. You see, these guys like to eat and drink and this place is a reflection of that.

As they got busier and busier with Mr. Friendly's (opening up another one as well as buying a seafood company) they decided to sell Gervais & Vine. In what is now referred to as the "Dark Year", it was owned by someone that didn't have a clue how to run it and nearly killed it. To those of you that patronized it during this time, we apologize.

In the Spring of 2001, with Gervais & Vine firmly back in the hands of Mr. Friendly's, things really began to pick up steam. With an ever-expanding menu of delicious tapas from around the world as well as wine tastings, dinners and other events, it has become one of the best places in the Vista to relax after work, before the theater or simply with your buds.

Like I said before, with over 50 wines by the glass, an extensive beer list and only the best spirits (including single malt Scotches and single barrel Bourbons), there is no taste we can't please.

So, stop by for a great food and wine experience the next time you're in our neighborhood! We're easy to find at the corner of Gervais & Pulaski street, next door to Carolina Wings and Columbia's the Salon (scroll down for an interactive map.)
