The Berger Burger is by far one of the best burgers I’ve had and their gouda mac is excellent. Aside from that, I do not know what draws me and my friends here so often. The place gives off dark dungeon vibes and it’s hard to hold your table spot because you have to go order at the bar. Plus there’s some questionable patrons (saw a guy lean over and eat food that another table had left on their plates). It’s definitely a memorable experience though, you’ll either laugh, cringe or both!

The tots were amazing, the beer cheap and tasty, and the atmosphere awesome!

Great drink selection and by far the best bar food in Columbia. It's a unique atmosphere and easily my favorite late-night spot in town. Don't skip the chipotle bacon burger and gravy fries, but you can't go wrong no matter what you order.

A real dark and cozy place. It felt like the atmosphere of a 1940's speak easy, updated to our time but no bands were a playing. Great place for a couple or a very small group to socialize and drink. Oh and a vegetarian option of burgers that suited my palate! Overall, I wish it was a lot bigger to house a larger crowd and a band.

Food is extremely good. It is all bar food not lots of options. The Whig tends to be older crowd.

The food was very good, as were the drinks! The weekend gets very busy but it’s a bar, so you need to expect that! It’s a self seating place so make sure you go up to the bar to order and pay for your entrees first! It’s a bit dim in the place, but I enjoyed the atmosphere!

So I had saw reviews on this place. And decided to go there for my bday. When we walked it. Didnt know what to expect. It was self seating. After about 5 min or so. A waiter came over. Told us when we were ready to order to come to the bar. I guess she could tell we were first timers there. They have a big variety of drinks.just not non alcoholic.. the menu was basic. Mostly sandwiches. We talked about it for a little while and decided to stay and order since we were already there. But I must say... their sandwiches were good. And the fries . Well seasoned. They were delicious. I cant say I would go back. I am not a big burger person. But it was good.

My favorite dive bar in the city. You can get a pint of local beer here cheaper than you can get it at the brewery that makes it. The food is awesome- my favorite is the Veg-fil-a, but the real chicken sandwich is also amazing. They announced today that they were closing this location, which is a huge loss for Columbia. I rushed to come over this evening. I hope to see another location soon! Great drinks, great atmosphere, amazing food. Loved all the time spent here with my friends.

Cool little basement bar that felt like a speakeasy.

This is my first time in Columbia, SC and I came across this secluded, basement pub. BEST DECISION EVER. This place has great food and is affordable! The decor is also cute with its dim lights and chandeliers. I would definitely come here again!
Great bar downtown with some really good food! Had a good selection of beers and the Chicken sandwich was soooo good. Atmosphere was nice but was dark there if that's not your thing.

One of my favorite bars in Columbia. They have a good range of drinks and some exceptional food items. I absolutely love their southern style chicken sandwich. Their sweet potato fries are crispy and good as well. Overall just great vibes.

as a chef and food critic I recommend your food is one of the best places where you can eat the best hamburger in all of South Carolina, good job guys!

Wow, what a great dive bar! Right across the street from the Capital tucked in a basement. The lighting reminded me of the haunted house in Disney, lol. I'm trying to eat vegan and they had an amazing Black Eyed Pea burger. It's a nice option from all the fake meat Beyond and Impossible. They even offered fresh veggies as a side option which were surprisingly good. House wines were also great and there was a large selection of craft brew, not to mention reasonable prices. Truly an unexpected find!
