GOOGLE “BEST COLLEGE TOWNS,” and pretty much every link will mention Columbia. Our town didn’t get that famous nickname for nothing. Sure, the townies sco! about the hordes of students running amuck from August to May, but the scene college towns o!er can’t be found elsewhere.

There’s sports. There’s history. There’s diversity. And there’s usually a half-mile long stretch of road, centrally located, that for a few hours a few nights a week doles out strong pours of best night evers and what was I thinkings?

The nightlife scene here does not disappoint. Whether you’re after $4 double wells served with a chaser of memory loss or some elusive Pappy from a trendy haunt, Columbia serves the gamut of bargoers. Personally, my unre"ned palate doesn’t thirst for $50-a-shot bourbon (luckily), but lately, I’ve been fond of the $2 Stag and pickle at Shakespeare’s. Last time I ordered one, the guy beside me said, “I hope that pickle makes it taste better.” For anyone else in doubt, it really is a good combination.

This week,Vox has scoured the town for the late-night places we think will suit the vibe you’re looking for, whatever it might be. If you’re new to the scene or just hesitant to stray from your regular watering hole, our guide has grouped these bars and restaurants to ensure you’re rubbing elbows with kindred spirits.

This was a fun package for our sta! to create. We had to frequent all these spots to get a good grasp on the atmosphere. (It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.) We also shared with one another stories of our own late-night adventures as we thought of creative ways to describe these places. You think you know someone until you hear about their bout with one too many tequila shots.

Where will you "nd us tonight?
