New Brookland Tavern - West Columbia

I really enjoy this venue; it’s always a fun experience. Just a heads up, it can get quite warm inside. The bartenders are fantastic. My main complaint, however, is about the guy who operates the sound booth. He is incredibly rude and aggressive toward attendees at the shows. I’ve seen him slam the barricade forward, hitting people in the back, and he’s even pushed people off the ledge at the back of the building. Personally, he used his phone to repeatedly poke my shoulder to get me to move. Everyone else is great, but he is definitely the worst, and from what I've gathered, everyone else I've talked to feels the same way.

I attended Sad Girls Night and had a fantastic experience! The service was excellent, and the music was amazing!

The ambiance for the show was wonderfully intimate. It's a shame that it's closing down; I'll definitely miss it!

Had a really good time and I hear that Artist get 100% of merch sales.

New Brookland is probably my favorite place on earth besides my own bed. I've been coming here since I was in high school, and it's always been THE spot to see bands. As far as venues go, The Senate is fine, but they don't hold a candle to this place. If a band you love is coming to Columbia, pray to your deity of choice that they're coming to NBT.
