Bad Idea Brewing Company — Restaurant in Columbia

I got the sandwich I didn’t know I needed or wanted.

The IPA that was recommended was not very good. Not a great atmosphere and as a conservative Christian it did not feel like a safe space.

Update: I think the owners response shows great ignorance. The owner makes assumptions about myself and puts the blame back on me and even suggests that maybe there is no public place where I would feel safe and that I am the one who is not tolerant. If a gay person had made this comment, my guess is that the response would have been quite different. No, you do not honestly welcome everyone and you need to look at your own viewpoints more honestly and do better to actually do...
