H20

So, every once and a while I leave the safe confines of Manhattan to journey down South to where my mother birthed me.  I originate from the sunny and beautiful Columbia, SC: a concrete pit in the ground full of satan's minions.

This bar may very well be the trashiest establishment in Columbia.  It's not normally too busy, there's bad music (first time I've heard cha cha slide since middle school,) bad karaoke, occasionally funny drag shows and bad decor.  I love it.  

To soothe the drinker, they offer a drink special many nights of the week called "Sink or Swim," which will gaurantee you all you can drink for ten dollars.  Everybody in this bar is normally incredibly wasted, including the bartenders.  Drinks are cheap even without the special.  You will meet some of the most charming customers, a rag tag group of drunk socializers who will call out a number of inappropriate things about every five minutes.  They are lovely and great fun.  The bartenders are super sweet.

The bar is pretty big for how crowded it is.  There's a sitting section to the left of the entrance and a bar to the right.  There are two side rooms, one with darts and the other with pool.  Smoking patio is in the back (!!!!!!) and because it's West Columbia that's normally where a large amount of the crowd can be found.  Restrooms are in the room right before the patio, enjoy the colorful wall writings!
