Great fun

This was my 3rd stop on a Friday night out in my search for the hottest gay/lesbian hang out. The atmosphere was great and the music was awesome! This place had it all...a quieter bar in the front to sit and socialize, a hoppin dance floor in the back with a great DJ, another bar area in the back to socialize while being in the middle of all the action, and an outside patio area with another bar and tables. A mix of gay and straight patrons with it becoming more of a gay scene as it got later...Mostly men, I wish more women had been there. They had a hotdog vendor outside and he had the best hotdogs ever! They closed at 2am, so most everyone headed to Kelly's Pub a couple blocks down to continue the night. This place was lots of fun and seems to be the best place for gay nightlife in Columbia, as far as I can tell.

Not too bad

I'm new to the area and this was my second stop on Friday night in my quest to find the best gay/lesbian bar. It was definitely a step up from The L Word on Frink St., but just about anything would be. The cute female bartender was very nice. She told me it's owned by the same person as The L Word, and was surprised the bartender there had turned me away. This place started to pick up around 11:30-12:00. Mostly men, but a few small groups of females as well. There were very nice looking and well built male Go-go dancers. The dance music was suitable. Wish there had been more women, but I expected mostly men since that was the description. They are supposedly busier on Saturday nights with their drag show, so I may have to go back and see for myself.

Members only, seriously?

New in town so I decided to check this place out on Friday night. There were all of about 10 people inside and a few outside. It was Karaoke night. The bartender wouldn't serve me because apparently you have to be a member or be with a member. Are you kidding me?! I was also unable to become a member because you can only join on Sundays and Mondays. Wow! Perhaps this is why it was so dead at 11pm on a Friday night?! I'm not sure what's going on here in Columbia South Carolina, but the gay community is certainly not making any headway here by turning away family. I guess I'll have to go hang out in the straight bars instead. At least they will actually have patrons there to socialize with. Very disappointed in this place to say the least.
