Calloways - West Columbia

Gotta be the darkest,nastiest,most depressing place I've been in years. Beer was flat,like the personality of the bartender. Patrons were like the walking dead. This was a fun inviting place back in the day. Tried to give it a third chance again today. Not happening. If I could say one thing good about it,I would. Sadly I can not. Menu was small,and confusing. Seemed like they nickel and dime you for everything in my opinion. It's a complete joke at this point. I understand food costs,rent,insurance,stuff like that. When you have to charge a $1 for celery and or only offering one sauce for 12 wings,than maybe you should shut this shithole down...better yet burn it down. Collect the insurance money,move to Florida and retire. I heard Delray Beach is a great place to spend your years. No wonder this place has no customers !

I don 't remember if I 've ever reviewed Calloways. This bar is totally awesome. They have about 6 billiard (pool) tables and recently installed some super bright lights above them. They have a few arcade games and a punching game. The jukebox is always jamming some good tunes thanks to the patrons (like me). They have 6 large screen TV 's streaming sports but they will charge the channel to something you want to watch (sound off). The food: everything is awesome and kitchen is open until 2am! It 's so hard to find food after 10pm that isn 't fast food! Their pizza is really good for late night food. Their burgers are huge as are the chicken fingers. The ragin ' cajun blackened grilled chicken sandwich is the bomb, as are their phillies (chicken or beef). The star on menu though is their wings. I 'm completely addicted to the flavor Hot Lemon Pepper Garlic but let me tell you that their HOMEMADE Inferno sauce is AMAZING but not for the faint of heart! It 's made with tons of fresh habanero peppers and lots of love in secret ingredients! Just a teeny dip on my wrap and I experienced an explosion of heat and flavor. I 'm not sure I could handle an entire wing dipped into the stuff but it 's awesome on seasoned french fries and sandwiches turned into wraps.

Sports/dive bar... not a fancy place, but very friendly. Located in a corner of a mostly vacant retail strip. Half of the bar is dedicated to billiards, foos ball, and video games. Decent beer selection. Most of the patrons were sitting at/by the bar. Most of the tables were vacant. It is mostly bar service, but our bartender/waitress did a great job with us at a table. The pub grub we ordered were very good (cheesesteak, burger, fries, and wings. The burgers are on fancy brioche buns and the fries are double-fried, REALLY good! Our order of hot and honey wings were nicely sauced, meaty, and well fried. Though, I felt they were neither hot or sweet. There is a sign that kids are prohibited after 8PM. We were there around 6PM on a Saturday. We saw no kids and it was not too busy at this time. Will definitely come back and try different wing sauces and bring the kids to play pool and the other games.

Came here with my Dad and brother on thanksgiving and had an amazing time just sitting and talking and watching the Cowboys game and Egg Bowl. The lady behind the bar was so nice and the drinks were really good. Got some chicken tenders and assumed they would be the small tyson ones you get at normal bars but these things were massive and made 2 meals, the teri-hot-cajun was awesome and I recommend this sauce for sure. Next time I'm in town will be coming here.

Great place. It's neighborhood type of sports bar and grill. The food is excellent, especially the wings with raw fries on the side. Good bar with some great bartenders. A lot of pool tables, video games, several televisions. Great to just hangout or get take out. They have regular entertainment. I regularly get delivery through Bite Squad food arrives still hot and fresh. I wish they offered some simple side salads for when want a healthy side.
