The Whig

My favorite bar in Columbia, I will be sad to leave it when I move. Byron pizza and the grilled cheese are my all-time faves. Tacos on Taco Tuesday are mysteriously delicious--ask for mixed (bean and beef). Trust me. Boyfriend loves the Berger burger. Black bean hummus is good as well. Honestly, never had anything taste bad here.

Great beer selection and always something tasty and non-mainstream on tap. Pint night/trivia on Wednesday are my favorite. Can get crowded and hot, but hey, it's a basement.

Bartenders have always been good to me and probably my favorites in town as well.

Great pizza, cheese fries and bacon.  The bartenders are all super hot. Great drink  specials.  And 'Safety Dance' is playing in the jukebox right now.

I love the Whig for many reasons.  In part, feeling like I'm hanging out in a naturalist's basement, what with all the taxidermied animals and collections of pinned insects under glass.  And then there's the Ms. Pac Man table, which is a pain to have a conversation on, but if you want to get some 8-bit gaming in while you drink, it's usually unoccupied.  I like that there are booths, and the pizza is freaking amazing.  

A little divey, and usually full of interesting people.  Amazing food, quirky and fun atmosphere, good bartenders, cheap drinks.  One of my favorite hang-outs.
