“I would like to give a beautiful shout out to Michelle, my office receptionist at Athletico physical therapy in Fort Mill. Michelle is always where she needs to be mentally emotionally for all of us but especially me because sometimes I have different emotions when I come in she always acknowledges me and meets me where I'm at to make sure that I have a good session with my therapist. I'm grateful to Michelle and all that she does for me and I know she prays for me, thank you, please honor her. I thank you for always being there for me, Athletico Physical Therapy plus my therapist Kristen and her assistant Jeff and her assistant Shelsea. Thank you!“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“Amazing place !! Highly recommend“

“100% satisfaction 100% of the time. I have eaten and drank here many times over many years and I have never had a bad experience with the food, the drink, or the customer service. This place is the epitome of a beloved local bar & grill.“

“What a great find! We were looking for a place to take a bunch of kids after a birthday Zipline adventure. Decided to try this and it was perfect! The upstairs is amazing! So big and spacious with a bar and balcony and party room with games.
I don't think they want to be known as a place for kids parties, but they were accommodating nonetheless and it was a hit with the kids.
They even had pizzas ready for us when we got there (I called about 20 minutes before we arrived).“

“We went midday with no one in here and it was great. The prices for the drinks are much better than what I pay at home. The bartender could have been more sociable but she was preparing for the rush hour I assume. There is plenty of seating and the heat on the outdoor patio works very well.
Being able to order food from below is great also. See you next time“

“Went here to actually get photos for a college project, a jazz themed session, the staff were so welcoming and understanding! This tavern is so cozy and unique. I love this hidden little gem! Would return here as a customer due to how polite the staff were.“

“Great neighborhood bar. Great bartenders, fantastic beer selection, but if you’re looking for food, you’re in the wrong place go across the street or next-door to Mo Chico or Tequila.. This is my favorite neighborhood. Hang out. Parking on the street or across the street in the Paige lot, or behind building on free parking deck.“

“This establishment is top notch in every way! I recommend the “Kyle” and the “Yolanda Mai Tai” 😊“

“What an amazing atmosphere at Prim! It’s the perfect cocktail bar for birthdays, a night out with friends, or a date night. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and made our entire party feel so welcome. I was really impressed with the service and how well we were treated. I definitely recommend making a reservation!“

“I am only going to rate this 4 out of 5 stars because it entirely depends on the type of bar that you're looking for. If you are looking for a bar that is made up of people at the ages of 40 plus then this is your bar, pairing with the fact that it is kind of a dive makes it a great choice to get a cheap drink. There is some good atmosphere in banter among the people that visit this establishment.I will say The only reason I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars is because I have been given grief for being 30 years old and visiting this bar, like come on people.“

“Super cool outta the way spot. I’ve driven by it a 100 times and finally got to go in and absolutely felt comfortable immediately. Prices were more than reasonable and hands down the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in a hot minute. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful and the people who went there were absolutely friendly, and I had the best time I’ve had in a long time.“

“Super friendly neighborhood sports bar that plays WNBA games on their delightful patio. Couldn’t ask for more.“

“Have hosted 2 of my daughter Birthday Parties here It’s so fun and we always have a great time! Love the variety of activities it’s great for all ages! Check it out and have fun! S/O to Frank kind, professional. personable, and patient. Keep up the great work 🫡🙏🏾🫶🏾🎉🎮💪🏾😁“

“Our drinks were amazing the bar manager was so helpful and great atmosphere can’t wait to go again“

“BEST PLACE EVER! Truly no other place like Flora & Flair! I started going to this just a year ago and have never turned back to go anywhere else but here. The events are not only fun but of high quality, bringing in great people and vibes. The atmosphere is both cozy and riveting, a good mix of welcoming but electrifying. The staff is awesome, the team behind this place are nothing short of wonderful. They hold events like never seen before, honestly coming here can feel like a once in a lifetime opportunity! Never want the night to end whenever I'm here, love it love it!“

“We were seated at the bar and had great sandwiches and drinks last night (11/5/24) . Mark was the bartender who waited on us. His outstanding customer service made us feel like we had a “fine dining” experience!“

“I love coming here! The matcha is very good and they always have some rotating flavors that are fun. There is a nice private outdoor area and lots of cozy spots inside. Perfect place to work, and everyone is very nice. I really appreciate the hours they are open since I like to come after work and they are one of the only coffee shops open later in the area. :)“

Outside and inside seating.........“

“amazing people feelings like home great bartenders the owners are loving people ❤️💜“

“Favorite bar in the valley area. The bartenders at Wolf's are always so welcoming and the diversity of the crowd not only provides an interesting dynamic but proves that with commonality lives comradery. I love this bar. Bonus- it's always clean there from the outside smoking area to the gaming area, throughout the bar and especially the bathrooms.... kudos to Rodney, the owner and to all of the staff for providing such an atmosphere.“

“I like it here. The vibe is chill and the indoor-outdoor setup is cool. I don't go out a lot anymore, but this is a good place to have a drink with friends after work downtown. I can't speak to how it is at night or on the weekends.“
