This neighborhood is a youthful part of Columbia frequented by college students. Here are four cool college bars to check out, including some special promotions and other features that set them apart.
Publico Kitchen & Tap
This recently opened restaurant is an excellent choice if you want a friendly and social experience alongside an excellent selection of craft beers and a wide variety of foods. Fusion Tacos are a popular choice here, and the restaurant recently announced a brunch menu available on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cocktail and drink specials (such as the You Want S’More Cold Brew Coffee) are also available during this time.
The spectacular patio seating rounds out the open and social atmosphere of this location, making it a fantastic stop in the Five Points neighborhood. The establishment also takes reservations for private events and parties. It is located at 2013 Greene St.
Breakers Bar & Grill
This is another excellent option if you are craving a stiff drink and a full meal.

After signing up, patrons can earn loyalty points that can be cashed in for free drinks. Members of the reward program also receive a birthday reward, are entered to win a free drink voucher every time they close their tabs, and can take advantage of $1 drink specials on Tuesday nights.
All guests can enjoy drink specials on Fiesta Thursdays. The bar and restaurant is located at 801 Harden St.
