Memberships for a small bar?

I arrived to this bar one Saturday night with some of my girlfriends. The bar had one of the most depressing atmosphere I've ever seen. I still went in figuring I would still have a few drinks with my girls and have a little bit of fun, WRONG! We were stared at the whole time and when the bartender finally came to us we were turned away for not being members. There was no sign that states members only and nor was there someone at the door checking for memberships.... I think the bartender just was being judgemental and didn't want us to be there so she makes up to this members only excuse to get anyone she doesn't like out. Please save yourself the embarrassment and find a different place if you want to actually drink and have fun.

Members only, seriously?

New in town so I decided to check this place out on Friday night. There were all of about 10 people inside and a few outside. It was Karaoke night. The bartender wouldn't serve me because apparently you have to be a member or be with a member. Are you kidding me?! I was also unable to become a member because you can only join on Sundays and Mondays. Wow! Perhaps this is why it was so dead at 11pm on a Friday night?! I'm not sure what's going on here in Columbia South Carolina, but the gay community is certainly not making any headway here by turning away family. I guess I'll have to go hang out in the straight bars instead. At least they will actually have patrons there to socialize with. Very disappointed in this place to say the least.
