CLUBS & BARS: BEST OF COLUMBIA 2007 | | | | | Art Bar - 1211 Park St. |  | Best Bar or Club
Again, readers, you show your wisdom. It’s not just that Art Bar has a fine and affordable selection of alcohols. And it’s not just that its bar staff is the best, friendliest and most attractive in town. And it’s not just that it’s t ... | | | Chubby’s 2 by 4 - 715 Harden St. | | Best Bar to go to with $10 to your name (Tied with Art Bar for Runner-Up)
The name says it all: 2 x 4 < 10. Chubby or not, those are good prices. This college-friendly bar delivers on value and fun and is always packed on weekends. Five Points has a long list of budget-frien ... | | | Element Nightlife - 700 Gervais St. |  | Best Dance Club (Runner-Up) | | | Flying Saucer - 931 Senate St. |  | Best Draft Beer Selection
An easy no-brainer here, since beer is what these guys focus on for a living. Well, beer and a little gratuitous waitress ogling thanks to those Catholic school-girl getups. This is also the only place in town where you can order the beloved Aecht Sch ... | | | Group Therapy - 2107 Greene St. |  | Best College Bar (Runner-Up)
Best People-Watching Bar (Runner-Up)
| | | Headliners - 700 Gervais St. |  | Best Music Venue (Runner-Up) | | | Hemingway’s - 7467 St. Andrews Rd. |  | Best Neighborhood Bar, Harbison/Irmo
Papa never made it to the home of the annual Okra Strut, much less to this popular Irmo watering hole. He was too busy running from bulls in Pamplona. There were too many marlins in Key West, too many elephants in Africa. And that is too bad ... | | | Icy’s Sports Bistro - 10005 Two Notch Rd. |  | Best Neighborhood Bar - Northeast Columbia
A sports bistro at last! As odd as that Franco-American pairing may sound, Icy’s really does draw a crowd and not undeservedly. The casual atmosphere and food combine to make it the most popular place to get your buzz between Col ... | | | Jillian’s - 800 Gervais St. |  | Best Pool Hall (Runner-Up)
Whether you call all the shots or just shoot junk, there’s room for you here. There are hustlers everywhere, and the Vista’s no exception, but mostly this place is about hitting the shot you didn’t think you could make then pretendin ... | | | Mac’s on Main - 1710 Main St. |  | Best Blues or Jazz Club You say there's no life on Main Street at night? Then you haven't checked out Mac's on Main. Southern-cooking hot spot by day, at night Mac's turns into the city's only ful ... | | | Main Street Café - 131 E. Main St. | | Best Neighborhood Bar, Lexington
Lexington used to be its own sleepy little town, somewhere you went to get away from the headaches and traffic of life in the city. Nowadays, it’s a different story. With growth only rivaled by northeast Richland County, this once sleepy b ... | | | Rockaway Athletic Club - 2719 Rosewood Dr. |  | Best Hamburger (Runner-Up) | | | Sharky’s - 636 Harden St. |  | Best College Bar
Mmm... slutty college girls... | | | State Street Pub (Nightlife) - 136 State St. |  | Best Neighborhood Bar: West Columbia/Cayce There’s something delightfully down to earth about “the other side of the river,” and it’s on tap at the State Street Pub. This no-nonsense watering hole serves residents of the ... | | | Tavern on Greene - 2002-C Greene St. | | Best Hippie Bar
Elvis might or might not be dead, but Jerry is alive and well and sipping a cold one here. The Tavern serves plenty of non-hippies, too, and there’s a chance that what you smell as you amble up Green Street is just incense from Papa Jazz, but the greater o ... | | | Village Idiot - 2009 Devine St. |  | Best Happy Hour
Locate the dumbest guy in town and, chances are, he’ll also be the happiest. Ignorance, they say, is bliss — at least between 4 and 7 p.m., weekdays, when the booze is flowing and a cheese slice will only set you back a buck. For the record, we don&r ... | | | Whig, The - 1200 Main St. |  | Best Bar To Go To With Only $10 to Your Name
