If we told you there were igloos in South Carolina, you’d probably think we were crazy, right? Well, it just so happens that even though snow and snow boots are pretty rare in our state, especially in certain parts, we actually have some restaurants offering igloo dining in South Carolina, sans snow. If you’re confused right now, that’s understandable, but keep reading for more on this fun winter adventure, a Market on Main igloo, you just have to check out.
Market on Main, located on Main Street in Columbia, is one of the select eateries in the state where you can experience igloo dining during the couple of colder months we experience here in the South. They are like life-sized snow globes that are … get this, heated – quite the oxymoron! This experience adds a special magic to your winter dinner plans.
Since they’re heated, you won’t really need a hot beverage to stay warm. So you can always have a different type of drink if you prefer. We have to say, it does add to the cozy, winter feeling even if the air isn't exactly nippy. But if you do want a hot drink, there will be multiple options to choose from. Peppermint Spiked Hot Chocolate is a fan favorite! The menu changes every season to keep things fresh and exciting. Every winter dinner you have here will be a little bit different.
But don’t go just for drinks and dessert. Go with an empty stomach, because Market on Main serves up gourmet dishes, like grilled octopus. Of course, if you’re a less adventurous eater, you could have grilled pizza. One of the specials features a house-made tomato sauce, goat cheese, black pepper bacon, arugula, and a balsamic glaze! It's a divine take on a regular slice. If you go on a Tuesday, the signature M.O.M. burger served with truffle fries is half off the regular price.
Market on Main is also a perfect place for game day, with a jumbotron available in the outdoor dining area. If it’s cold, there are heaters available as well if you’re not in one of the heated igloos.
If you've been searching for igloo dining near me, this is the answer to your prayers. All you have to do is make the reservation and think about what color lights you want in your igloo. Visit the Market on Main website or the Market on Main Facebook page for more information and updates about outdoor igloos and festive cocktails. Reservations are a good idea as there are limited igloos available. For more winter fun, check out these 10 best wintertime activities in South Carolina.
