Went to Columbia this weekend with friends and found this place—ended up staying all night and came back again Saturday. The vibes were so fun, drinks were actually affordable, and the bartenders knew what they were doing. The karaoke DJ was honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen. I believe his name was Seby! So funny and made everyone feel super comfortable on stage. Definitely worth the trip just for Uncle Fester’s 💕

They don't have a kitchen so don't expect to go there to eat. It's not a restaurant. Employees are always nice. The lady at the door is polite and professional. She ensures no one is under age. I always enjoy myself when I go! Prices are pretty good too.

Had a great time singing karaoke here on Friday and Saturday. Everyone was very personable. Bartenders Lee and Hailey make great drinks! No problems here at all! 10/10 recommend if you are in Columbia. No food, just chips. It is a private club, therefore, your first time here you have to have beer/wine to make sure you can respect the place. I love it!

Brandon is sweet and attentive, Greg did a phenomenal job getting us checked in for the show, and the space was clean. Definitely a must in Columbia! It did surprise me that the only food available were chips that night; not sure why that was. Regardless, it's a great venue!

I love uncle festers. There's great karaoke three nights a week: Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and as of tonight, they host live theatre. The Columbia Children's Treatre performed their adult night here. This is a laid back, judgement free, all-are- welcome kinda place. Bring your friends and chill! 4/17/18 Update: karaoke schedule has changed. You may need to call to find out the new schedule.

Had a great time here this past Saturday. This was the only place I could find around Columbia to have karaoke on a Saturday night. The singers were all personable and fun (and a few were really good), and the DJ (Harry) did a great job and kept a clean rotation. If it is your first time there, the bartender explained to me that they can't serve you hard liquor based on their license as a private club. So, I just had beer instead. Next time I'm in town I'll be back for sure.
