What’s the best part about summer at your favorite 5-Star Dive Bar? WEEKEND BRUNCH!!!
Every Saturday & Sunday morning we open at 10am and serve brunch until 2pm! We think you are bound to find something on our menu that you’ll LOVE. We make our own bloody Mary mix with zero added sugar; our BLT Done Right sandwich is a big hit for brunch paired with a premium mimosa as well. Don’t let the word premium scare you away though, it only means we’ve added vodka to yes, mimosas! Woo Hoo!

Upcoming Events in June
The next Como Song Swap is Tuesday, June 11th. The Como Song Swap was brought to life to offer new and seasoned musicians a place to showcase their original music, but not in a typical open mic setting. What makes The Como Song Swap unique is two musicians are paired together and they swap their songs on stage for one hour. There are three rounds of this during each show. Dive Bar has become the monthly home for The Como Song Swap, offering an oasis for musicians and fans alike. No two shows are ever the same. If you are looking for a listening room type experience in Columbia, Missouri, join us on the 2nd Tuesday of each month!
Currently, you can follow The Como Song Swap on Facebook, and join their performer group if you are interested in playing. You can almost always find Dennis Layne or Luna Hawk at a Song Swap, you can also reach out to them. You may know Dennis as a solo artist or from groups such as The Diddy Wah Daddies and performing with Mick Byrd. Dennis is a novice in many instruments, songwriting and performing. You may have seen Luna perform with her band, Luna Hawk and the Hounds or heard that familiar voice on KOPN as she is a host on a number of shows there. She also does our live music booking here at Dive Bar.

Edgewood Heavy – Saturday, June 15th
New Age Rock n Soul
Since bursting onto the Atlanta music scene, edgy and soulful, Edgewood Heavy has blazed a path all its own. Their unique genre of Rock N Soul, a term the band coined to describe their rarefied sound, is at the heart of the band’s identity and musical style. The four-piece rock band led by the two dynamic, and passionate frontmen, have been likened to “a mixture of the Rolling Stones, The Black Keys, and Outkast,” and have taken the nation’s southeast music scene by storm. Their popularity has seen the band perform on NPR’s “Sounds like ATL” segment by WABE, open for David Ryan Harris, play with lady Nicole Wray at the One Music Festival, which attracts more than 50,000 fans every year, and perform at the Wire and Wood Fest, Stone Mountain Soul Fest, and Inman Park Fest to name just a few.
Edgewoodstock
They have also hosted their Atlanta music festival ‘Edgewoodstock’ for two years and collaborated with local brewery “Soul Brothers” to create their beer, ‘Edgewood Hefe.’ After their debut album release, ‘$ex Drugs & Rock N Soul,’ the band is continuing to give fans what they long for: more new music and more live shows. They are currently touring the United States on their ‘Electric Summer Tour’ on the heels of their latest release, “Electric Eel.”
“Everything about Edgewood Heavy is unique, from our Rock N Soul musical style, to the way we look on stage, even the fact that all of our songs are self-produced,” explains Gio, one of Edgewood Heavy’s dynamic frontmen. “Everyone these days talks about artificial intelligence, computerization, and automation, we’re the opposite of that. Soul and rock music has always been about the expression of deep emotion, with no two performances of the song ever being exactly the same. That’s why we only have live instruments on our album. We wanted to showcase the authenticity of what it’s like to be at one of our shows.”
