    Stringbreakers and Stuffbreakers band from Brazil

    Great venue for up coming bands!!! Great sound in the room. Yes it has a bit narrow quarters but it's just right!! They have an outdoor patio that you can get away to chat a bit with your fellows. They have a plethora of alcohol drinks!! I had their Wild Turkey bourbon straight which is one of my favorites that has a huge kick so ladies be careful unless your tough to handle it!! Enjoying the music tonight!! Stringbreakers and Stuffbreakers band from Brazil They made their first debut in the States at Stanley's Pub!! How awesome.....the manager has a huge heart and was a pleasure to meet all of them!! Gone Solo!!

    When you close your eyes and picture a neighborhood bar... This is probably what comes to mind. Cheap beer ($1.50 bottles during happy hour) and the basics when it comes to cocktails. The back porch is amazing! They could use some nicer furniture, but the landscaping and tall fences make you forget that your so close to civilization. I couldn't stick around late enough to hear the live music but they have some impressive acts coming to town judging for the posters on the walls! Check this place out of you want to get away from your usual spot.

    Came here for a reggae concert. I'm not a huge reggae fan (I'm like, sure, I can dance to reggae and it's fun, but not more than that). However, it seemed like the people who know about reggae thought that $12 for 5 different bands was a really reasonable price. The outdoor patio is great! Just such an easy going vibe about it, very relaxing! The indoor was nice because of the air conditioning but otherwise not special at all. In fact, I'm really not very likely to come here just for a drink inside because it felt a pretty dirty - a typical dive bar I guess. Would definitely come back if there would be another outdoor concert evening of a genre I like. Otherwise, I'll leave the dive bars to the real dive bar fans!

    Ahh Stanleys. Living in Columbia Tusculum, Stanley's is my go-to place for an after work drink. While it is partly for the convenience of being within walking distance of my apartment, I really do love the charm of Stanley's. It is definitely a dive bar, with cheap drinks, a cozy atmosphere, a low-key vibe and an eclectic crowd. The bartenders are great and there's a great patio out back. There's also live music pretty frequently, with both local and out of town bands. There is usually a cover with the bands, which I'm not always a fan of, but if you're into live music it's a great spot to catch a show. Definitely worth a visit for the experience...and some cheap drinks!

    Not actually disappointed.

    Good music, strong drinks, kinda smells like a fart. Five stars. Will definitely be returning.

    Tried to charge a $10 cover to get in an empty, grungy bar with rude staff. Way better bars to go to in the area that aren't this one

    An average bar in Columbia tusculum. Be prepared to pay cover. And don't have high expectations for the live music.

    Went with my wife for a Xavier reunion. We were placed on the 2nd floor. This place is a dump!…read more Some people like dive bars. I do not. The only beer on tap was miller light. It looked a little better downstairs. No food was orderable from upstairs. The bar tender didn't know how to make amaretto sours correctly. My wife had 2 and they both tasted drastically different. They have a small parking lot but we got in. They have an outside patio I guess you can eat and drink there. I can't imagine going there if you had nothing to do with Xavier University.

    Dana's is the best dive bar spot. I have been here countless times over the past year being a…read moreXavier student. I love the ambiance and the small inside, yet large and plentiful outdoor spaces. I usually sit in the "Tent" outside when coming here with friends and order from the she shed, but it was closed. That ended up working perfectly because it was so hot outside that my friends and I wanted as much AC as we could get. We got in and there were few people there. It ended picking up a little after an hour there. My friends and I sat at a large table(there were 6 of us) and played Uno for two hours. We shared some fries and fried pickles. Both were very good and came out hot and fresh, although the fries could have used some salt. The drinks are just what you would expect. The bartenders are always friendly and quick to get or make a drink. Dana's is a great neighborhood bar and a cheap and easy place to go on any night.
