The Bar at 316

(106 Ratings)
Cocktails, karaoke, and a classic wrap-around porch!

The Bar at 316 is a local favorite for a reason; its welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff make you feel equally at home whether you're indulging in a craft cocktail, enjoying a drag performance, or cutting loose on the dance floor.

Located inside a gorgeous southern Victorian house, the vibe here fluctuates based on the room you're in. Enjoy the porch or balcony for some fresh air, then head to the dance floor for some revelry.

There are cozy spaces to gather, chat, and relax both indoors and outdoors, giving everyone plenty of choices when curating their evening atmosphere. And if you're in town during the right season, the Pride events feature a waterslide!

Love the atmosphere!

Great music and a lovely setting, the place is absolutely gorgeous! The drink prices are a bit steep, but all in all a great place.

Fantastic time

Went there on a Wednesday night and the place was so sweet! Great crowd, wonderful atmosphere and the bartender was professional and cute as hell! We had a great time and will make this a regular hang spot from now on. Love the house setting and the drinks were perfect. Well done boys!
