State Street Pub — Restaurant in West Columbia

Please, ignore the children complaining they aren't allowed to sit at the big table yet. This review is from a regular.

Best dive bar in Columbia. Over 20 taps of craft brews changed on the regular. They also sell growlers at a very reasonable price. Prices are very reasonable, and there are specials all the time.

This is a private bar, so if you aren't a member or a guest of one, then you must become a member. It isn't expensive.

They also have NTN trivia, and you'll always find at least a few people playing before 10pm. There are also quarter tables, darts and they've got a great custom-made shuffleboard.

The late night crowd tends to be service industry people, and so while they get a bit rowdy there is rarely any trouble. If you like a loud, boisterous crowd, you'll like it late. And when I mean late, they stay open until. Private bar, you know.

Last note, when the Walking Dead is on, it plays in the bar, starting at 8pm (previous...

This place was introduced to me years ago as " the Cheers of West Columbia" and is a great little hole in the wall. Like mentioned before this place has over 20 taps and is a members only establishment but well worth the measly $3.00 member fee. The staff is extremely nice and more than helpful. Yes, this is a 21 and up establishment with no exceptions. Its not to be mean but this is a business and for them to be able to stay open and continue to thrive, State Street Pub does follow these law. Now, SSP may not be the most pleasing to the eye at first, but it will win you over with its prices, friendly staff and no drama atmosphere. Did I mention the building is over a 100 years old and used to be a brothel? Oh, I didn't? Well it is and the regulars can enlighten you on some of West Columbia's extremely interesting facts. So come by and have a beer with us Happy Hour folks and bring your trivia knowledge with you. We will...

I had been coming here for almost 10 years but had recently moved away. I came back to meet up with some old friends and figured the bartender could just look me up or I could just buy a new membership. However, when they couldn’t find my name I was told that I couldn’t even get a new one because they were out of cards and so we had to leave. Not sure if something changed but I don’t remember ever actually needing a physical card and, if that was the case, why did the bartender even bother looking up our names in the first place? The bartender was very nice and this is not a reflection on her but I was incredibly disappointed. I understand the reasons behind having a membership but if physical cards aren’t required, you shouldn’t just let business walk out. I felt like I lost an old...
