We all need a cold one. 

Beer. Wine. Cocktails. Liquor. Mocktail. 

Whatever your fancy, Howard County’s got it ;-)

Here are some of our favorite *watering holes* in Howard County, Maryland that The Columbia Mom has been to and pre-vetted for you!

    • The Food Market might possibly be my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Howard County, MD. But their brunch cocktail: THE GRACE SLICK MIMOSA is fantastic!

    • I am not usually a whiskey drinker, but they turned me! They have an incredible spread of whiskey drinks, so be sure to bring an open mind & palette!
