50 Best Bars in Greenville

“I went here way back near opening and have been raving about it to folks ever since. But then I went again recently and everything was… meh. Not so quick to recommend now.
The Green Beans are 🔥 so get those.
The Crab Rangoon is a dip which the menu doesn’t say and I don’t prefer.
The Fried Mushroom dish is soggy. Idk why restaurants try to do this with the wrong type of mushroom…
The restaurant is involved in various events and festivals which are cool. They had non-traditional Moon Cakes at one which was a fun treat but they also had Custard Buns that were comically awful. Like if I made them at home they’d of been trashed awful ha.“

“Currently, very relaxing and comfortable. The only negative would be the local construction surrounding the Hotel.“

“Coral offer such an elevated, personal dining experience for my husband and I! The service was incredible, the flavors were wonderful, and portion sizes were perfect. We ordered the red snapper special, the scallops, bread and ocean butter, bangin’ shrimp, and the sticky toffee pudding and coffee for dessert. We would order it all again (and again)! Highly recommend, it’s our favorite restaurant we’ve tried in Greenville!“

“We had a fabulous time at Halls! We split a ribeye and scallops with Brussel sprouts and okra!! Everything was fantastic! We were celebrating our 20th and everyone made the experience a great one! Our server "Scooter" was another star to the evening.“

“Great place for a smoke, drink and food. The owners rolled out the red carpet for me. The cigar selection was perfect. They have a fan in me!“

“Grab a drink or two, join in a game, or order food delivery from adjacent businesses, the Lazy Goat and Papi’s tacos. Enjoy the sights and sounds, at the river, and meet your friends, new and old, for an evening of fun and relaxation.“

“Dope spot!!!!matt and dylan were great hosts!!!!!“

“We just had our wedding reception at the Travelers Rest location. It was beyond amazing! Kimmie and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to help make our day perfect.

I've been going to the Radio Room since they were located on 291!This show was two tribute bands, Jeremy's 10 (Pearl Jam) and Nervani, if I spelled that correctly, a Nirvana tribute band.Both were excellent!Can't wait to visit at the new and larger location! Always a great time, and they offer a wide variety of shows.“

“Best wings and karaoke I've had in a LONG time. Great atmosphere, big deck for performances and the food is awesome!! They do shows too so check their website for karaoke nights.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cocktail forward bar!“

“Outstanding bar, great selection, knowledgeable staff!“

“Pretty sweet neighborhood taproom. Friendly staff with a great large open space to relax and hang out. Games, lots of TVs, special events, wine tastings, and it’s always super family friendly. Bring the pup out anytime as well, the staff love dogs. If their parking lot is full, just park at the liquor store after 7pm or on the side street by Dollar General.“

“Food is always the same. Fresh and great. We have been customers for over 50 years. Thanks David.“

“We just had our wedding reception at the Travelers Rest location. It was beyond amazing! Kimmie and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to help make our day perfect.

“Awesome and exceeded expectations! Our server, Jennifer, made the difference--engaging, personable, knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure our requests were met--and when several items were not available, she ensured we were satisfied, especially with dessert items that were just out of this world and the general manager came to apologize and was very gracious!! We were also visited by the owner, Rick Erwin, who greeted us along with other tables--a rarity. The evening was totally unique in so many ways--thank you and we will be back from North Carolina.“

“Awesome pub with craft beer and wine by the glass or bottle. TVs with live sports and general interest viewings. Great atmosphere!“

“Great drinks and atmosphere. Had the wagyu sliders and the baked pimento cheese with pretzels. Sliders were good and the baked pimento was VERY rich. We decided to take half of it to go to finish later - slightly saltier and richer than expected, but delicious. Also had a mule & citra splash. Both drinks were good too.“

“Lives up to its name as the friendliest bar in the Upstate. People of all walks of life come to this little dive bar and everybody is nice and having fun! Best karaoke in the Greenville area on Friday and Sunday! Cheap drinks. It is a smoking bar but they do have an outdoor patio to chill at.“

“My gf and me love this place Everyone is so friendly.“

“Great football Sunday hangout, especially if your Raiders Nation 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️“

“My boo kelly behind the bar!!!“

“Love that it’s so pet friendly and has a cool vibe and laid back atmosphere!“

“I really enjoyed this place! As a local, it can be difficult to say the least just to even get a reservation anywhere in downtown Greenville, especially on Main Street. But this place was both cozy and quiet with exceptionally great food and drinks served by a friendly staff. Might just become my little hidden gem to enjoy while escaping the chaos of Greenville busy nights“

No matter when you decide to come its always a grown, fun, enjoyable spot to be. Come check it out 1243 S. Pleasantburg Drive.“

“The food was wonderful. Presentation was great. Staff very nice.“

“Such a fantastic spot for so many reasons!!!

The food is great and more reasonably priced than a lot of similar places and not just that the customer service is fantastic.

(If you are (reading this) the employee who was kind as could be when my drunk friend spewed everywhere thank you so much and sorry again!!!)“

“Service was excellent, food was yummy and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“Had a great time. Everything was fine. Very nice Ambience. Very nice spot to eat and drink and very good live music 🎵🎵🎶“

“Amazing! Hands down one of the best kept secrets in Greenville! Food is phenomenal and quality, service and attention to detail are outstanding!“

“The burger and toss I had was legitimately one of the best in the upstate. I ordered the double, regretted it lol. Only needed the single. The tots were crispy and flavorful. Keep in mind, it’s a private club and smoking is allowed. If you’re OK with that, stop in and have a bite.“

“Excelente servicio 10/10 La comida muy rica, la atención es excelente y el ambiente del restaurante es agradable Volveremos siempre“

“Good food and great service. Love the setting with all the greek surroundings. I had the greek salad and falafel. I should have sent the falafel back since it was slightly over fried. I realized on the third one when I cut it and it exploded into pieces. Other than that I will be back when in the area. I went between dentist appointments. Wished it was closer to my side of town. Big TV’s ,which had the selection of the new Pope on at the time“

“Can’t say enough good things about the yard house. We ate here yesterday 12/5/24 around 1145am and the food was delicious. We had a server that was attentive to our needs. We ordered the four cheese spinach dip for an appetizer and I had ordered the Korean ribeye for my meal. It was really good, especially the fires that come with it. I will definitely be back to enjoy some more yard house“

“Love coming here after a long day at work to enjoy amazing drinks and food being served up by awesome servers that cater to you while you play bingo or just enjoying live music on the patio!!! Definitely me and hubby favorite spot always have a great time“

“C-ray was great!! Very professional!!“

“Best smoked wings I’ve ever had! My son had their pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese, and he said it was very good as well. The service is very fast. Way faster than I would have thought given that they were pretty busy when we showed up. I definitely recommend and I will be back.“
