4 Best Dive Bars in Columbia

“Chill. Karaoke on Saturdays. Good vibes, welcoming. There is the weirdness about no liquor on the first visit but I think that's just to control shenanigans. No one really cares about the karaoke (they don't clap much) but it's a chill vibe.“

“Pam is, without a doubt, the best person ya ever wanna meet! highly recommend!“

“CJ’s is a really really underrated spot in Five Points! Unlike so many of the other bars in the area, the bouncers were pretty cool, and the bartenders did a great job. While I wish that they might have had a larger selection of beers on draft, they at least had one IPA on tap, and another in a can.

The ambiance was cool as well - it was definitely a dive bar, but not in a way that means it was run down or nasty. They had a cool, vintage Pac-Man machine, and the pool area was nice and spacious as well. Although I didn’t use the outdoor patio, it seemed like the perfect spot to people watch or hang out with a large group of people, and you had a bird’s eye view of the Five Points Fountain.

All-in-all, CJ’s was a lot of fun, and I definitely see myself coming back in the near future!“

“Best place in Columbia for great wings, atmosphere, and sports!“
