While visiting CoMo we were looking for a spot for dinner and something to do on a Thursday night…read more I was excited when my friend shared that Dive bar did free Bingo on Thursday nights. I honestly hadn't played bingo since grade school but was instantly onboard! We started the night outside on their spacious patio and made sure to move inside at least 10 minutes before bingo started at 7pm. By the time the games started there wasn't an empty spot in the house. There were multiple rounds over two hours and each game provided a chance to win prizes. The food was great we each got a sandwich and swapped halves. We got the 5th ward and a spicy pulled chicken sandwich both were delicious. We upgraded our side to the dive salad which was phenomenal and I would go back just for that salad! The service was also phenomenal there was one waitress for a packed house and she made it seem like we were the only tables she had. She made her job look easy for a packed restaurant. I can't wait for my next visit to CoMo so I can go back to Dive bar!

Deeply disappointing and concerning dining experience! I rarely leave negative reviews, but my…read morerecent visit to this restaurant was so troubling that I feel obligated to warn others. From the moment I walked in, the service was indifferent at best. It took nearly twenty minutes just to get someone's attention, and when a server finally approached, they seemed annoyed that I had questions about the menu. Throughout the meal, dishes were dropped off without a word, drinks went unrefilled, and no one checked in to see if anything was okay. Unfortunately, the food itself was even worse. My entrée arrived lukewarm and clearly undercooked in the center, despite being a dish that should have been served piping hot. Another plate at the table was missing key ingredients entirely, as if it had been rushed out without any care. The flavors were flat, the textures were off, and nothing tasted fresh. The real issue, though, came later. Within a few hours of eating there, I became noticeably sick--nausea, stomach cramps, the whole ordeal. I can't say with certainty what caused it, but given the state of the food, it wasn't surprising. What truly alarmed me were the visible health hazards. I noticed a sticky spill on the floor that no one bothered to clean up, even as staff stepped around it repeatedly. I unfortunately had to use the restroom while we were there. The restroom sink had grime built up around the faucet, a dead cockroach near the commode, and there was no soap or toilet paper. As we were leaving, I could see uncovered food containers sitting out behind the bar. These are the kinds of things that make you question what's happening behind the scenes. Overall, this was one of the most unsettling dining experiences I've had in a long time. Between the poor service, improperly prepared food, and concerning cleanliness issues. Now here's the kicker...there was not a manager available (shocker), so I asked for the owner's contact information so I could report the health violations and food safety issues. The waitress laughed and said "We've told him many times - he doesn't care and he doesn't allow us to give out his number. He wouldn't answer the phone and absolutely would not call you back." So, if you'd like to eat at an establishment where the owner clearly doesn't care about you or what you think, cleanliness, or food safety, you've found the perfect place.

Hubby grabbed food from the wings place around the corner and we were set. They only have 2 tvs, so it wouldn't qualify as a sports bar, but the people there were MU fans, so it worked out fine. We had 2 bourbons and 2 beers for $20, so this is a win for us! Word on the street is adults before 9:00 and frat boys after nine.

The bartender immediately saw us and asked for our drink order. This joint does not appear to serve food but they did have free popcorn. We decided to sit outside on the small patio.

This definitely is more of a locals stomping ground as it was clear we were out of towners but they poured us a nice cold beer so a great spot to catch up with an old friend.

They brew their own beer and it was all super tasty. The bartender was also nice enough to give me a small sample of two of the beers so I can decide which I wanted to have with my meal. My friend and I shared a pizza, a platter of wings, and a burnt ends plate. First of all- I was shocked how good the pizza was. Given I'm originally from NJ, I'm a bit of a pizza snob. But it was actually quite tasty. The platter of wings was solid. Not the biggest wings in the world, but the plate came with a bunch and the sauce was really good. And the burnt ends were phenomenal. Super tender, lots of flavor. The place itself was very lively- lots of happy, talking people getting ready for the night. Certainly a place to come to feel "energy". I was certainly overly stuffed after this meal- would come back again!

The beers are top-notch -- from the easy-drinking Canned Good and Flor Blanca Mexican Lager to the rich Thresher Porter, they're clearly brewing with care and creativity. The food matches the quality of the beer. We've been here for brunch and highly recommend it -- everything from the eggs to the bread feels fresh and flavorful. I also love how many of their ingredients are sourced locally, which really adds to the quality and uniqueness of each dish. On this visit, we shared the fried cheese curds and the brisket grilled cheese! We also happened to stop by for a jazz night, which was such a fun surprise. The live music totally elevated the atmosphere and made the evening feel special. That said, there's still a bit more they could do with the space -- it would be great to see more regular live music or special events to bring even more life to the room. Prices are a bit higher than average for Columbia, but for the quality, atmosphere, and local charm, it's worth it. Great beer, great food, great people -- a solid 4 stars!
