A friend of ours recently recommended Bar None. This was actually our second trip, but our first ordering food. The bartenders, David and William were great and the wings were excellent. read more

Bar None - American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Bar None's a cool bar, but you have to have the right mindset and expectations. There's been a few times that I've gone on a Friday or Saturday night and been disappointed, but I recently went during the week and had a great time. I asked what kind of seltzers they had, and after not being satisfied with the selection of flavors, the bartender offered to make me a comparable drink, which ended up being really good! In addition, the food is mainly just your basic bar food, but was actually really good! The chicken tenders and fries were solid, but the mozzarella sticks were great! The bartender (I wish I could remember his name) was really cool, and I was able to strike up a nice conversation with some other patrons. All-in-all, the best way to describe Bar None is that it's a great Sunday-Thursday bar, but maybe not the exciting bar you're looking for on a Friday or Saturday night. As such, would recommend! read more

Amazing Irish pub / Dive bar. I loved the friendly and lively atmosphere and the good music selection playing in the background. Food is really good, definitely gotta try the Chicken Wings and Corndogs. I loved them! I'd give their wings a 10/10, French fries came in big portions. This will be my new favorite spot when passing through Columbia. Sam was an awesome bartender! read more

Terrible experience! Fat bouncer was so rude to our group of parents. Bar still about 50 people in and son and his friends were trying to get in before they announced last call. Bouncer refused to let them in and was so nasty to our boys. Absolutely unacceptable. Do better at hiring, managers! We will never go back and our son and his fraternity brothers will never give this place business. Absolutely deplorable attitude and so nasty! Fat and miserable guy on a power trip! read more

Been here before never left a review .. so boom .. random date night with the wife ... we wanted something simple ... she ordered a corn dog and cheese fries topped with jalapeños ..

The ranch is dope also ... the bartender was dope ... had Jameson and ginger that was mixed perfectly ... if you looking for something quicc and good pull up .... read more

Yesterday, while I was in town for a conference, we took a small tour of the city. Our first accidental discovery of a bar was Bar None. There were fewer than ten people in the entire bar when we walked in. A few of the patrons greeted us as we sat down. After asking what we would have, the bartender arrived and brought us menus. There was no drink menu when he handed us the food menu. He said he could prepare any cocktail and that they had a full bar. We then requested a tequila-based drink. #1 The cocktail was not nice; he used too many components. #2 Asking for a card happened about five seconds after the drink was placed on the table. Although some patrons at the bar have not begun a tab, he clarified that this was protocol. A single party entered and sat at the bar without giving the bartender any money. A payment would have been expected from each person if it was standard procedure for everyone to open a tab. All in all, because of the bias, I will not be returning to this establishment and I do not suggest it to others. read more

Great local bar that has excellent food! Service is always wonderful, and it's the perfect place to go to just relax.

I've been coming back to this bar more recently and have enjoyed it a lot. The selection of drinks is really good and the bar tender makes consistently good drinks. The atmosphere is casual with a lot of different things to look at and be entertained by. It's a great place to hang out! read more

Thought they were supposed to stay open until 4am but closed at 2am. Was not happy about this decision and it ruined my night.

Bartenders inside are usually attentive and nice, occasionally they will be distracted by some random guy at the bar yelling. Food will do in a pinch, but the doorman is the reason for the review rating. Last night I tried to bring my dog outside and sit away from others as much as possible and the doorman proceeded to take it upon himself and tell us "You really shouldn't bring dogs here. Some people don't like them." Although I've seen countless ankle bitters, medium and big dogs outside. I'm left to assume it's because my sweet dog is a pit mix. So we left and went to jakes! Jakes is more fun and vibrant anyways, much nicer staff. To keep it short. -Doorman 1/5 (some doormen here are great, don't go if it's the old grump ) [NOT DOG FRIENDLY] read more

This place has great music, chill atmosphere and kind and attentive bartenders...but...this place has fleas, I had 4 fleas jump on the bar and one on my arm. Super gross. Fix this and it would have been a near perfect experience. I don't mean to upset anyone. Just want it to be known. Honestly for the bar. But maybe a patron near me had fleas. I don't know I was pretty secluded towards the back of the bar with friends. Just keep a look out. read more

Great bar with great beer! I like going here because they have a good selection of beer to choose from. It's a nice chill environment and there are plenty of bars in walking distance from here if you choose to bar hop. read more

Excellent neighborhood style bar with friendly staff, kickin myself for not going here sooner. On tuesdays they alternate between smoked wings and brisket, come early because they go fast. If youre looking for a refuge from 5pts non sense this is the place to go. They are open late and yes the fried mushrooms are dope. read more

Nice spot for late night eats and drinks. Very calm compared to the rest of five points during the evenings. They've got a shuffle board table, pinball machine to keep you and friends entertained. The wings are excellent and the rest of the food is as well. The staff can get overwhelmed on weekend nights due to how crowded the bar area can get, but with great atmosphere and staff, so the crowd is definitely deserved! Make sure to check bar none out if you work late during the week and need a quick bite and brew before you head home. read more

For every single morning (between the day I turned 21 & the day I left Columbia) that I woke up in my bed with a splitting headache wondering where it all went wrong, I'd say Bar None featured prominently in the late portion of the night. If you're drunk in Five Points & you feel like you have nowhere else to go, you can rest assured that there will be more just like you waiting at Bar None. Major added bonus: They have SHUFFLEBOARD! read more

Bar None is a nice bar that has been around for years...Its really a place to meet nice, educated women...I met a lawyer and other professional women there. Also the people are just down right cool and relaxed...If you dont really dance and are looking for a place to hang around..They have foreign drinks and different types of beers....The best part about it all is THE BAR STAYS OPEN ALL NIGHT AND THEY SELL FOOD!!! Bar None gets 4 out of 5 beers.. read more

Best wings in Columbia hands down. Low key bar and not to many obnoxious college students. Good service and good beer

Great for a late night drink in five points if you ask me, last night I was there and they played some old school Nirvana just for me I must be special. Drinks are reasonable priced and they have shuffle board which is fun to play after many drinks. The atmosphere and decor are really cool I don't come here that often but I should. Nice five points bar that doesn't have a bunch of drunk whiny college kids, well I didn't see them last night. read more

On the particular Friday night I was there, there were about five other people in the bar, and I didn't want to talk to any of them. The bartender was attentive, but that wasn't enough reason to stick around. Maybe I hit it on a bad night? read more

I went to Bar None tonight for a few beers with some good friends. A high school ex-girlfriend (whom I haven't spoken to in over 5 years) decided to send a friend into the bar to slap me. The bouncer, without question, decided to follow the girl into the bar and kick me and my entire party out of the bar. I've never felt so childishly disrespected. I am 23 years old. This sort of drama is just unnecessary. read more

This place is really nice! It's open late and serves food until it closes! It's a great place to go after you've had a few drinks and are hungry. I love their cheese sticks! I always get them! The onion rings are really good as well! read more

This is my watering hole. I'm not one of the the late-night nighters anymore but will still hit this place up when I need to get out and about. Great music. Walls full of CDs. (Remember those?) TVs for sports. Good beer and liquor selection. Early night scene is older folks. Grad students, graduates, and on up. Late night is the early 20s crowd and the service industry folks getting off work. This is a Columbia staple. They're open until 6am and you can get food until 4am. (Get the fried mushrooms. Get. Them.) read more

Amazing smoked wings, cool employees, awesome locals atmosphere. Definitely would come back here. Food and service was great. read more

Bar None - Smoked wings every other Tuesday - American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

See all

Best wings in Columbia by far. Miss going here every night.

Heads up, Bar None will double charge your tab. I spent $30.00 there with tip and my bank account was hit for $58.00. Fucked up yall. I will never be back and I used to love this place. Assholes. read more

This is the bar that the bartenders go to after work! It's a real bar. I love this place. Probably the best wings ever. They have smoked wings ever other Tuesday and brisket on the opposite Tuesdays. They are so damn good! read more

My daughter and brother in law Bob had a wonderful time celebrating his Birthday!! I'm in the Clemson orange shirt. This place has the best cheese fries with BACON I've ever had. Also, the beverage prices are Great during happy hour read more

Bar none is by far the friendliest bar ive been to in columbia s.c. friendly staff great food and drinks relaxed atmosphere a very nice crowd. I would recomend it to anyone. read more

the bartenders at this bar are BEYOND rude, i ordered a side of ranch with my 8 DOLLAR cheese fries and all i had was my card. The bartender proceeded to call me a "child" and not accept my card. He was incredibly rude to me and the food is below par. Not to mention adding cheese to your fries is 4 DOLLARS. I will never go back. Bartenders should be fired for their attitude. Not a good reputation of the south and southern hospitality!! read more

Let's just put it this way. Any bar that stays open until 6am is usually a complete disaster. for this reason, I love you BN. read more

I have always loved Bar None until last night. My boyfriend was showing his coworker from United Kingdom around and we chose Bar None for one of our stops. They asked for our id's like normal. We get in but our friend from the United kingdom didn't. I asked the bouncer what the problem was and he said we don't accept id's from there. We would've walked away and been whatever until he said we accept passports but not id's and we accept id's from canada. I find it crappy first off that you'd expect someone from a different country to even carry their passport around when you are at a bar. Honestly that could be regulations and I'm fine with that because every bar has rules but the way the bouncer came off was extremely extremely rude and condescending and no other bars in five points had no problem with his id. read more

Hands Down - this is the best bar you'll ever go to in the world, in your life. Ok, ok.. so I may be a little biased - I went to USC and then stayed in Cola for 6 years afterwards and I spent way too much time at this bar, but it's only because it is truly an amazing place. What makes it so great? Here's my Top Ten Reasons: 1) They hardly have any turnover, so for the 10 years I frequented this bar, I always knew someone that was working there - and they knew me! (this could be good or bad, I realize!) 2) They have amazing bar food! 3) They play the best music 4) They take requests for music, and pretty much will have anything you ask them for. 5) They'll let your dog hang out (if it can chill). 6) They are open until 6 AM (except for Saturday - close at 2AM b/c of blue laws) 7) They have shuffleboard 8) They have LOTS of seating 9) They have benches outside for your drunk friends to sit on while you wait for a cab (which they will call for you) 10) Did I mention they are open until 6AM?? read more

BEST BAR IN 5 POINTS HANDS DOWN. But keep your hands up because the cops and delinquents are both bad in this area. Bar None is a staple in five points, who's busiest times are between 12 -4 in the morning. If you want to have some piece and quiet with your friends roll in around 8 and you'll have the bar pretty much to yourself. They have a great staff, good food, and are open late. Corn dogs WHAT! Great beer selection and great prices! read more

This bar is a piece of trash do not waste your time. They secretly charged my card for $24 hoping I would not notice. I ordered my food an hour ago & it has still not came out. The people here are assholes do not come. read more

I thought Bar None would be a different experience later in life. Okay...so maybe it was as I wasn't seeing double when I left. The great thing about Bar None is just about everything. The food and drinks are inexpensive and good. The music is great and the bartenders are cool to take requests if you have a good ear for music. Bar None always seems like a place to wind it down a bit with their "In-House" shuffleboard table...but wind down...it does not. This place can be slammed at 3 in the morning...maybe because it's the only place open...but it's great just the same. The bouncers (and by bouncers...I mean bartenders) will even let your drunk buddies sit out front for there Yellow Cab escorts to arrive. Bar None will always be cool as long as you're cool to it. Leave your bravado at the door. read more

One of the best bars in Columbia. No, Bar None isn't as cheap as some of the underage dives that surround it in five points, but it is more than worth it in my opinion. You never wait in a line at the door. Even when it is packed (which is usually after 2:00 am) you can almost always find a table if you want to sit down and the bar is full. If you start frequenting there you will always know someone working because they have amazingly low turnover. They have a plethora of games including shuffleboard and electronic games, and they are open late. Also, if you end up staying there late they honestly have really good bar food notably their cheese fries and fried mushrooms. read more

One of my favorite bars in Columbia. I started going here when I was in college, and I still try to hit it up when I'm in the five pts area. The first time I went, they welcomed me, and even gave me my first beer on the house. You really can't go wrong with their late night bar food, the mushrooms are amazing, the chicken strips TDF, and the pizza, well it's nothing special, but still pretty damn good! Love the music too. If you're into a laid back atmosphere with some good rock music this is the place. read more

Smoked wings are the best I've ever had (beside maybe Fox Brothers in Atlanta). However, they only do them every other Tuesday. They do brisket on the other Tuesdays. You'll wait about 15-20 minutes if you order them at the bar but it is totally worth the wait. read more

Go there and ask them for the 5 points special you won't be let down. It's very laid back and the music is great you won't be disappointed read more
