"The social room is a mix of funky and freedom that we just can’t get enough of! So much better than the standard run of the mill sports bars that saturate downtown. They don’t skeet you on your alcohol and also charge fair prices. And arguably the best part is their delicious and cheap bar food that is available past bar close! A must go in CoMo!!"

"I'm not sure of what Google thinks this place is. But I know it as a bar and a damn good one at that. It had phenomenal music. The staff knew how to manage a crowd, and my Vegas bombs were bomb, lol. My husband and I had one hell of a time."

"Best bar in Columbia as far as im concerned! Owner is a great guy, bartenders are attentive and you can tell they love their jobs! Busy club vibes on Saturdays, always a reasonable cover despite having amazing DJs and a full dance floor. Weekdays are a good local regular vibe, everyone is really nice and accepting of all identities. Wednesday karaoke is a MUST SEE! Have amazing regulars singing songs but everyone will cheer and be welcoming for newbies singing for the first time. Love this bar!!"

"This was my first experience going to a bar with a dance floor. When you enter they search your purse which I wasn’t expecting, and they took 2 little shooters off me, which would’ve been fine if they’d just been like “you can’t bring these in” but the guy at the door was a little rude and pulled them out my purse shaking his head at me which made me anxious and was off-putting for my first experience. The kitchen was closed when we went in which we weren’t warned about & it wasn’t posted anywhere before coming in that it was closed. There was only one girls stall open in the bathroom so the line was really long. Other than that, the night went well. I really liked both of the bartenders they were friendly and answered my questions and didn’t make me feel stupid for asking questions. Everyone that I interacted with was friendly and helpful. They have a patio which was nice to go outside because the floor got pretty hot. Definitely college or just out of college aged crowd with the exception of a couple older guys. Decent music with some variety, I don’t listen to a lot of mainstream music so I wished they’d played more classics (which they did more towards the end of the night)."
