Description
Bar None, a staple in South Carolina's Five Points for almost 30 years, garners a range of opinions. While many cherish its vibrant atmosphere, late-night hours, and fun amenities like shuffleboard and pinball, others lament unwelcoming staff and unpleasant odors. Some patrons appreciate the drink prices and outdoor seating, noting the need for masks indoors, while others feel the staff's attitude detracts from the experience. Despite its storied history and loyal customers, the establishment faces challenges in maintaining a consistently inviting environment, leaving potential visitors with mixed expectations before stepping through its doors.

Definitely the best bar in 5 Points! For nearly 30 years, the team at BN has been serving up 5 Point specials to hungry patrons until 6 AM. Back in the day when CDs were still popular, they probably had the biggest collection behind the bar. I used to lend a hand to the team and DJ occasionally. What an amazing place!!!
It's been some time since my last visit to Bar None (thanks to the pandemic), but I'm happy to report that the experience is just as great as I remembered. The service is fantastic, and the local bar vibe remains strong. Masks are required while moving around, and they've arranged the seating to ensure proper social distancing. Despite these safety measures, the place still retains the unique charm that makes Bar None so special. I'm glad to be back enjoying their beers and pickled eggs!
I appreciated that this bar requires masks indoors to ensure safety while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere in Five Points. The drink prices were great, and I really enjoyed the outdoor seating areas. The door attendant was friendly, though perhaps not overly welcoming, which I understand can be a tough job. Overall, it's a nice spot that's easy to find, but you'll need to search for parking in the bustling nightlife of Five Points.
