Five Points
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Five Points, Columbia
Five Points is Columbia's best-known nightlife district, a compact commercial node just south of the University of South Carolina campus that's been a college bar scene for generations. BarFinder lists 41 venues here, led by a deep bench of classic bars and sports bars - The Moosehead Saloon and Nightcaps are long-running staples - with Cellar on Greene adding a more laid-back wine-and-beer option. It's a dense, walkable scene built around a young, college-town crowd, busiest on weekend nights and game days alike.
