Stock Market Dueling Kitchens is one of the best bars in Columbus, Georgia, for dog owners because of its airy, dog-friendly environment near Phenix City.

I love “The Bear,” with Old Forester Bourbon and Amarena cherry, and “Calm and Connected” with cucumber & basil vodkas.

Located on Columbus’ Broadway near the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, the 18th Amendment Cigar Bar is a lovely place to go for a sophisticated evening with a speakeasy vibe.

Imagine finishing a show at the theater and then taking a casual stroll with your date to the plush leather couches and decadent cigar smells within the 18th Amendment bar – what a treat!
