Pour one out

Pavlov’s, a well-known college bar in Columbia’s Five Points shopping and nightlife district, is set to close its doors, but two other Five Points bars owned by the same group will get to renew their alcohol licenses under agreements with a state agency.

Frick Dick Harpootlian. Drank a ton of bourbon and had a ton of good times with Jeff and Madison back in the day at Pavlov's. I can't imagine going to USC right now. Woke administration, student body is half Yankees, neutered Greek life and now Five Points bars being shut down left and right. No way in hell would I recommend my kids go there and that's a painful thing to say.

Between Pavlov's getting shut down and Sharky's closing years ago, where will the frat boys go now?

I went once. To each their own but you'll feel totally out of place if you don't look like this:

All I'll say is it's a sad state of affairs with regards to gamecock sports when the thread that gets the most traction here is one about a bar closing in 5 pts...

I never went to Pavlov's but once. I didn't party, and was all around more low-key than the clientele that went there.

Still, it was synonymous with a significant portion of the undergrad culture, and is another cultural touchstone that the university and city of Cola have willingly tossed aside in the name of "progress."

I was passing through Columbia the other day and decided to cruise through Five Points. Holy hell is it depressing now. A literal wasteland.

Harpootlian and everyone that has allowed this to happen can get fricked. They've destroyed a central part of USC's culture and commerce, and have intentionally made it so that drunk college kids will be driving around town to get to house parties instead of keeping them in one centralized area. All because the neighbors of Five Points are mad that THEY decided to move in next to a college bar scene.

It's clear that this ultimately will benefit McMaster and the other slum lords who have been looking to redevelop Five Points for years. They want to get in on all of the money that is moving down south, yet they don't realize that there is absolutely no draw for outsiders to Columbia. It will all be for nothing.

Pavlov's and the other Five Points dives were a huge part of my college years and my love for USC, and I hate that the students of today won't have a similar experience.
