Great place! Haven’t been here since before Covid. It’s my 2nd time here. The sand is now all patio brick. It looks great! Had the lobster roll, amazing! It’s so good! Great venue. I’ll probably come here more often & try other food, yum! The service is friendly too. Sorry, too busy eating the tasty to photo the food!
Great place to hang out. Always have something fun going on. Plus great food choices and AWESOME staff!! Plus there's live music every weekend! The brunch items they offer are really great too!
Great food, fun place to play and see music, and Braden the manager seems to run a really tight ship even when they’re busy. Great outdoor stage and tables for when the weather is good. Highly recommended! The wraps and sandwiches are really good.
Food was awesome. Glad we stayed. We were going to leave because there were 12 of us and the indoors is small. We'll be back when we're in town. Can't go wrong with the monte Cristo or the burrito! Kids loved the cinnamon roll
Hidden gem with dive bar charm and surprisingly excellent food—get the pork bowl, thank me later. Killer atmosphere, live music, bingo, trivia, even a whiskey club or brunch. It’s like your weird uncle’s basement, but with better lighting and way better food. Something for everyone, even your picky friend.
This is the most amazing place to have Brunch!! Great food best in Columbia by far!! Good service! Great Atmosphere!!! 10/10 would recommend!!
Nearly perfect Valentine dinner date with my wife. The food was extremely tasty with good portions. Beginning with a nice mixed green salad followed by grilled mussels. The singer Guitarist had perfect song selection for evening dinner - not too loud but lyrics clearly understood. Bobbie and other waitress had the exact balance of attending to use without becoming "in our face" in other words they did not try too hard. The main course - Beef Wellington with saluted asparagus and thin sliced rosemary potatoes was as good as any fine eatery in the state! My wife's parm crusted sea bass was nearly perfect as was her rice pilaf and vegetables. The 10 layer chocolate cake pictured was absolutely amazing. We WILL return the Dive Bar.
Loved at atmosphere and a GREAT salad! Pickles beets and blue cheese overload was delightful! The Berkshire was dry from my guy friend. Nice presentation and he loved the potatoes chips. Delightful chocolate chip cookies!
