They don’t have servers but the bar staff was really nice. Food and music were great!! When you order the wings please know they are whole wings! Also the chicken Alfredo was a 10/10!

Cannot say how amazed I was to show up, and this place had screens, allowing me to keep up with the score of the NBA playoffs game. Besides that, the live music was great, allowing for a fun, energetic vibe. You could not be here and not appreciate the live music. The food was also good. Getting there and realizing it was in fact a bar, I did not expect the portion size of the food we ordered. Again, another pleasant surprise. We enjoyed The Joint. Fun times.

The Joint is a great place to go for Live Jazz entertainment! There is no cover charge to enter. The musicians were fabulous!!! The menu included Goat Cheese Ball w/pita bread, Quesadillas (cheese, chicken or shrimp), and other light food fare. The food was good! Alcoholic beverages are also sold here even specialty mixes like "Bees Knees", "Absolut" with berries and many others. The Joint is my new joint and a pleasant little surprise conveniently located downtown Columbia at 1710 Main Street. Doors open at 5pm.

It was my sister's 60th birthday. We decided to go to the joint because she loves to dance. We had such a wonderful time. The food was delicious as well, but the staff took so long getting the food. I enjoyed the drink as well. Me and my girlfriend again really enjoyed ourselves. It is a very nice place to go to.

Who doesn't love an amazing jazz club! This location has been on my list for quite sometime and since I was in the area I thought, why not visit. The band was absolutely amazing playing everything from classic oldies to some newer school. The location no longer serve food but small bites - there are a plethora of restaurants within walking distance. I recommend checking them out if your are looking for dinner. The drinks and atmosphere were exceptional! It reminded me of an old jazz club. If love jazz music definitely checkout this location!

Was a nice place. Only gave 4 stars on the atmosphere only because I came a bit early and the band was just setting set up. The live band sounded good. Service and food was good. Not much of a crowd only had about 2 other customers there but, again I did get there early.

Great brunch spot. There was a jazz festival, but they have a stage for live music. The food was good and the service was fast. There's outside seating also. The drinks were very good too!
