The Columbia Café offers a full bar, and serves lunch and dinner daily with an outdoor terrace on the Riverwalk and waterfront indoor tables and bar seating. The bar is a replica of the original Columbia Restaurant bar in Ybor City, founded in 1905.

Our menu has been chosen to reflect some of the traditional Spanish and Cuban dishes that have made our family restaurant famous for over 100 years.

Celebrate Saturday night with a cool drink while enjoying live music from Al “Coffee” McDaniel from 6-9 p.m. every Saturday night on our patio on the Riverwalk. Al’s music mixes R&B, Blues, NEO-Soul, and Jazz melodies with cool modern urban beats.
