CJ's is a really really underrated spot in Five Points! Unlike so many of the other bars in the…read morearea, the bouncers were pretty cool, and the bartenders did a great job. While I wish that they might have had a larger selection of beers on draft, they at least had one IPA on tap, and another in a can. The ambiance was cool as well - it was definitely a dive bar, but not in a way that means it was run down or nasty. They had a cool, vintage Pac-Man machine, and the pool area was nice and spacious as well. Although I didn't use the outdoor patio, it seemed like the perfect spot to people watch or hang out with a large group of people, and you had a bird's eye view of the Five Points Fountain. All-in-all, CJ's was a lot of fun, and I definitely see myself coming back in the near future!

Holy crap, this is an AWESOME dive bar!…read more What is the difference between Dive and Dump? Five is clean, great service and food and value drinks. CHS is great. Love the duvet vibe.

This is Grand on Main in Columbia, SC…read more Chicken and Waffles are crispy and fluffy. The service is great there, they have a bowling alley, bar, a small stage for singers, and they have tv's that you can watch the games I went to The Grand for my birthday and it was amazing. So, please try it!!!!!

Diamond - 5 Stars Jacob - 1 Star…read more After an extra long visit to SC, a friend suggested we hang out before I head back to NYC. We ended up stopping at The Grand around 9/9:30pm on a Saturday. Upon entering the hostess informed us they were currently only serving the late night menu. We said no problem and elected to grab seats at the bar. There were several empty tables and a few empty seats @ the bar. However, the only two seats together at the bar needed to be cleared from the last patrons that were seated. We stood there for over 20 mins while Jacob continued to walk by never acknowledging us or the fact that we couldn't sit. When he finally cleared the dishes he just walked away, never cleaning the area. When he returned he still never greeted us or apologized for the wait, the mess... nothing. Jacob: What are you having? Me: Well hello... Jacob: Yea... what do you want? Me: Wow... ok. For starters can you please whip off the bar so we can properly have a seat. There is still food residue here from the last customers. ** we get a visible huff** He wipes down the bar and we proceed to order drinks, while he never really speak any more it's all via motions and body language. Amongst ourselves we check in with one another to confirm that we both were feeling very unwelcome. Instantly we decide that we will not be ordering anything additional and will be leaving after this one drink. Which is just as well because Jacob never returns. Someone , whom I can only assume was of a mangement status, asked if Jacob was helpful and we promptly and simultaneously said no and that we would like or bill. She shook her head in utter disbelief and disgust but then she also disappeared. Just so happened that Diamond, whom was on the other side of the bar happen to walk pass. She stopped and asked if we were ok after witnessing our frustration. We explained that we wanted the check and why we were leaving. She was super apologetic and closed out our tab. Her energy literal turned the experience around and if she would have came to our rescue sooner we would have considered staying. Thank you Diamond. Just A Note: Unfortunately, bad first impression because The Grand seems like it may offer a good time with the bowling lanes in the back.

Solid wings. We went to Peebles before a concert to chill, grab a buzz, and try the wings. And…read morewe're so glad we did. Yes, Peebles is loud, has a lot of attitude, and is designed to watch all the games at once. If you're looking to hang and catch up with an old friend, head somewhere else. If you're looking to grab a cold one and some solid wings, Peebles is the spot. Menus are digital, but you still have to order through a server. Our main feedback is to (if we still have to order through a server) design a traditional one page menu, scan the .pdf, then have customers scan the barcode to view the .pdf on their phone. The digital menu (as is) is confusing and too big to use (top) browsing tabs.

The place wasn't busy during our stop but I'm sure during the games they are packed. The owners i think are Buffalo Bills fans which I won't hold against them. We ordered vodka on the rocks with a splash of juice and the bartender served it in tiny kid like glasses. It was funny. Overall I'd come back here to play some pool, watch a game and enjoy the people.
