They do have a pretty cool alleyway where you can stop and chat with other patrons. Overall, it's an average bar and venue. Also, as an update: this bar moved to, and is now located on Harden Street in Five Points.

I appreciate that this is a smaller venue, but my friend was sent away because she had a small…read morefanny pack on her. When she told the security guard that she needed the bag to hold her tampons and she didn't have pockets so what was she supposed to do, the guy responded with "figure it out". We had to walk all the way back to the parking deck to leave both of our small bags and put whatever we could fit into my jean pockets. I guess some men don't understand that women's clothing isn't always made with pockets and we have something called a menstrual cycle, so it may not be so simple to "figure it out". Very glad I was there with her. And that I had pockets! Otherwise, the concert was great. But I don't think I'll be seeing another one here again.

This is a SMALL venue, so don't stress too much if you have a general admission ticket because…read morethere were probably only 30 rows of people (standing room only). They do have a full bar though, so there's that. I went to watch Pop Evil & didn't want to lose my front row spot to get a drink or have to pee. Sound system is on point you will feel the bass in your bones! You might want to wear earplugs though because wow, your ears will be ringing for a while after the show Oh they are pretty strict about the size of your clear bag. I would say put your ID & credit card on a lanyard and just have a few things in your pocket like keys, phone, chapstick.

The fruit plate we had contained wilted grapes but the cheese and bread were very tasty. They don't serve meals, so we had no expectation of snacks. They do serve dessert and wine.

The live band set the tone for the entire night . Smooth, soulful, and engaging--honestly felt like a mini concert while you're dining. The food came through too! The Fly Town Fries were stacked, flavorful, and had just the right kick , and the shrimp quesadilla was crispy, melty, and packed with flavor--definitely a must-order . Everything felt like elevated bar food done right. Drinks were on point--a chilled white Moscato paired perfectly with the meal , light, smooth, and refreshing for the vibe. The crowd was lively, diverse, and really added to the experience--this is definitely a social spot. Great for date night, girls night, or just getting out and enjoying downtown Columbia If you're looking for good music, good eats, and a great atmosphere all in one place, The Joint is it. Definitely coming back!

No where else can you record to two inch tape so affordably. In fact there's nowhere else that I know of in at least a four hour radius that one can even record to two inch tape. There are several imitators in the area but all these studios are trying to do is be the Jam Room. It is completely illogical to record anywhere else.

In addition to the front entrance there are three other entry's (I think) around perimeter. Inside, the concourse goes completely around with vendors, merchants, trophy cases, restrooms. There a few different eateries than the generic stadium food; Salsaritas, Mr Seafood, Oriental kitchen, Caribbean cafe, donuts, ice cream. The inner arena doesn't have a bad viewing seat to the floor, just depends on preference. One thing neither the upper or lower seats have are cup holders like the baseball stadium.
