Pinch

Pinch is fun, but there is a bartender there who put a bad taste in my mouth... I believe her name is Meredith. I've never been sobered up so quickly. I ordered a vanilla & coke, and she didn't know what that was so I told her what it was. Got my drink and paid the bill but didn't tip (because I wait until the end of the night). I accidentally spilled the drink and went to order another. Meredith tells me "okay, if you're not going to tip me, I'm not making you another drink." I've waited tables and gotten snubbed on bills that were $70 so I get the frustration, but she was picking a fight over a $1 tip (the drink was $5). She continued to educate me on how bartenders "only make money from their tips," but I had already known that information. With a bar filled with people I doubt my measly $1 would have made a difference, but Meredith was on a mission I guess. I guess "hospitality" doesn't apply to college students. The other bartenders are fabulous and know their drink knowledge. They are the ones that made me like pinch again.

My name is Terry Davis (Owner of South Carolina Film Institute) as of March I have went on a mission to review As many bars/clubs/restaurants as I can in 90 days in Columbia, SC.... My rating system is beers which I know is strange .. I give the pinch 5 out of 5 beers. The best days to go to the PINCH is Wednesday for Bingo night and Saturday...The women are beautiful, drinks are $1. That's already a recipe for a good time.. Catch more of my reviews at -The Whig -Pearlz (5 out of 5 beers) -Harpers -Jakes -Cover 3 -Delaneys -Bar None (3 out of 5 beers) and many more over the next 90 days...
