The Capital Club
South Carolina's oldest and most dignified private gay bar, The Capital Club has been an established and integral part of our community for over 34 years. One of the oldest gay bars in the Southeast, and the oldest in Columbia, the laid-back and friendly Capital Club is right around the corner from PT's 1109 and a block from the state capitol building - it's along a stretch of Gervais that's been a big part of the city's recent gentrification, and you'll find several notable restaurants and mixed bars along this block and continuing south for a few more. This is a good place to mingle at the bar and chat with locals - there's a long bar on the left as you enter, and plenty of cozy spots to sit and chat

Escape Artist Greenville
Have you always wanted to solve a mystery or escape from a mad scientist? At Escape Artist Greenville, it's our job to transport you to another world and make you the hero of your own personal adventure. We are Greenville's original escape room, and we're the only one in town that designs and develops our own custom games and puzzles. That means you won't find these adventures anywhere else! We pride ourselves on detailed sets and stories that transport you to an alternate time and place. We call it "full immersion" and that makes the experience even more fun for you and your group. Our theme-based puzzles are challenging, fun, and carefully crafted with minute attention to detail. This attraction is family-friendly, appropriate for most ages (the puzzles are designed for Middle School and above) and most of all, it is fun. Convenient parking behind the building and enter in the front.
