Great atmosphere. The owner Andy is awesome. Check out DJ TONY GRAY every second Friday for Friday Night Dance Party. šŸ•ŗ

This place was a good find. There’s a cover charge on Fridays and Saturday but they have live music and good music with a DJ. The crowd is a mix of 20 something’s and is 55 plus friendly. Good drinks too.

They have the best wings I’ve ever had. Steve takes great pride in everything that comes out of the kitchen. Jessie and all the staff are always great. The Art Bar is a Columbia institution.

Ridiculous and stupid culture. Came in one night to find the place was closed....the staff were having a meeting up front and the door was locked. So the bartender pointed and laughed at me...how am i supposed to know yall arent open today? Used to be a regular but one too many cases of bullying, bad behaviour, enabling and BS here.

Only 4 star for the food because it's very limited options, but the tenders were solid. Cool atmosphere, decor, and really a large place with three main areas for music/ comedy I'm guessing. I went at 5pm on a weekday so it was nice and quiet. They played tasteful music. 33% off happy hour when the food and drinks are already priced nicely makes this a go-to for me next time I'm in Columbia! Very nice bartender too.

This is probably my last time here. The bartenders they do have aren’t friendly. It looks like a great atmosphere that has lots of potential but as someone who’s looking for a bartending job, the ones here have no personality. The dude outside was semi friendly. Oh and parking??? My first time here I didn’t even know I had to pay to park because the sign is literally IN THE ROAD. And to top it off, it was pouring rain so by the time I got outside the ticket was soggy and non readable so I never paid it cause I didn’t even know who to contact. I tried this place again, was only inside maybe 30 minutes (to talk about a bartending job) and got hit with another parking ticket. They said this is the best bar in town but this place is absolutely garbage just because of the people they have working, and then the parking situation. This place is not all that to where I get an uber and stay the whole night here. Everyone seems pretty stuck up. And plus, in Columbia parking is free after 7pm except 5 points. This is the vista, not 5 points.

These guys are awesome. Very straightforward process.

The vibes were great, I was able to go by myself and feel fairly comfortable. Plenty of seating, different areas of the bar to go to. It’s bigger than it looks!

Bartender was not the kindest or personable. It seemed like he hated being there. It’s hard to hear over other people and music, and I’ve never ordered at a bar before. He asked what my tab was, I wasn’t sure what to tell him and then he snapped at me for my name. When I went to close my tab, I thought he didn’t hear me so I repeated myself, saying I wanted to close my tab, and he snapped at me again for my name. Didn’t speak to me outside of ā€œwhat’s your tabā€ and ā€œnameā€
Other bartenders seemed very friendly and personable.

I’m going to give it another chance in a couple of weeks with a friend, hopefully it will be a better experience at the bar
