We used to go once a month for a quick bite and a couple of beers. Menu was reduced to really poor choices and air conditioning was not functioning. Beer is still great, but I can get that at the store….sorry to see the negative changes at a local favorite.

Can’t give a full rating since they don’t post correct hours. Drove out there to find out they weren’t open. There were no hours listed on their door just a closed sign and nothing on their social medias. Their website doesn’t list hours or even their beer. It said they open at 11:30am on a Friday on google, we showed up at 2pm. Only to find out from someone walking by said they open at 3pm.

First time here, food was just ok. Beer was good. The thing that will prevent me from coming back is the fact there is no A/C. From previous reviews looks like it has been out a while. It was very uncomfortably hot in there despite the one fan they had running.

Came by tonight for slap truck burgers and mug club beers w Thomas and Hilary!! So freakin' good. Love ya'll
Love Southern Barrel. I love the bartenders and crew...TomASS...Max...Carissa (sp?)...Hillary... and Taylor the manager. the only thing that sucks is all the vaping...I am over the effing cherries grape...etc vape plumes. Smokers go outside, vapers need to be courteous and do the same. Go outside to vape please.

Drove 35 minutes on a Saturday and they were closed?

The staff is super nice and friendly. My husband enjoyed the beers and we took some home. We also had fun with the musical bingo.

As a regular at Southern Barrel, I’m getting close to not coming in anymore. I LOVE the staff, the tacos were amazing but only for a month, why not a regular item? Good food but too expensive. Since Air conditioning doesn’t seem to matter to the owners since it’s been broken for a long time, why come in? It’s HOT outside and it’s only June, and way too hot inside.
At least put table fans on the bar if you won’t fix the air conditioning. This place has gone way downhill. It’s sad to witness first hand.
Please do better and attract new customers who will come back.
Sad to see so many employees quit in the last few days. I can understand why. I really hope they turn it around, it's not looking good right now. Best of luck Southern Barrel. This place means a lot to me.

I used to come in fairly regularly for trivia & music bingo. The fact that the owners won’t fix the AC is sad. There are plenty of other local spots to go that are far more comfortable in the summer heat. The only reason I will stop in is for their amazing staff. Without them I wouldn’t step foot in the place.

Only reason for two stars is because the staff is amazing. This may be the worse run pub and grill in SC. Not much food anymore and they have no AC! Who in their right mind would actually try and sit in a 90°+ restaurant and try and enjoy a meal and have to chug a beer before it gets warm. Sad to see this local establishment go down so fast. Hopefully something else moves in soon

Great burgers, beer selection and service. Way too hot in dining area. No AC
The tex Mex sandwich was honestly one of the best "cheesesteak" type sandwiches I've ever had and the service was wonderful.

big place for locals - the mac and cheese bowl was definitely the star of the night

We've been there 4 times in 3 years. 2 times we ate indoors and food/service were great! 2 times we ate on the patio and food/service were mediocre. Not sure what the formula is there, but you've got a 50/50 chance. :-)

Nice place, food and drinks were good. Service was not great at the bar at least to outsiders like us. We were visiting family for the night going back home to Florida and went for dinner and drinks. First sat at a table outside as we had kids with us and service was decent but simple things were missed like refills and food runner didn’t ask if we needed anything else and we were missing ketchup for burger and fries. The rest of our party left and we decided to stay and go to the bar for a few more drinks. It was clear that if you weren’t a regular you weren’t getting the same service. Took forever to be helped or even acknowledged but bar tenders were constantly chatting with people on both sides of us, joking around and very attentive to their needs. Food was delivered to gentlemen next to us and manager asked if he could get him anything else but when he brought us ours nothing just dropped and left. So clearly secondary service is a huge miss starting all the way at the top (manager). Very disappointing to go to a place to enjoy a night out and feel almost un welcomed. I believe this restaurant has a lot of potential but could use a few months of secret shoppers to pin point where they lack in order to make it a better experience overall.
