Bone-In Barbeque announced it will be moving away from regular meal service and transitioning to be an event venue – focusing on special events, catering + private events rentals (with a full cocktail bar).

The rebrand of Bone-In Barbeque falls more inline with owner Scott Hall’s original passion: “...event design and catering, which are a confluence of the theater and the culinary arts. Our special events are where our team is able to be most creative, so this is a natural progression for us.”

While you’ll no longer be able to grab weekday lunch or Saturday brunch at Bone-In Barbeque, you will still be able to attend weekly, bimonthly + monthly public events – as well as pig-out at the barbeque buffets they plan to host during Fireflies baseball home games.

Chef and owner Scott Hall has also made it a priority to ensure that Bone-In Barbeque has a regular presence at festivals and events across the Columbia food scene – like the 2020 Columbia Food and Wine Festival and Historic Columbia's Bluegrass, Bidding and Barbeque.

The shift to special events will also allow Hall to bring back his legendary high-end holiday buffets + conceptual "X Marks the Spot" dinner series.

“We plan to bring it. Our team loves events, and we’re very excited about what is to come.” – Scott Hall
