3.5% increase to your bill for paying with card… had I known that before buying I would not have dined here. Businesses should be taking the hit for customers providing business to them. To me, making the customer pay the fee screams, “I’m too cheap & want to make an extra buck,” rather than providing quality service that promotes return customers.Also, the majority of the menu was not being served.

Great establishment! Small menu but the food was delicious. Recommend: Wings and Sweet potato fries! Waitresses were very attentive to the people inside and outside. Definitely a nice place to come chill for a few beers and great fun! I'm not a beer drinker and the bartender was very accommodating on allowing me to taste items to see what I like. They have Options to buy canned/bottles to go but don't open them or there's a $2 fee! Very interactive (trivia, corn hole, music and tvs). Parking is limited! We will definitely be back!

The food and beer are good, but it was so cold inside that we had to leave. It was 58° inside in the winter. I doubt I'll ever go back.

I've been to a lot of pubs in the country side of Europe and it has the same indoor vibes but the food is phenomenal. Check if the menu items look appetizing and if it does, it will be great.

Seriously the best place! We moved from NC and want to find a local pub, and THIS IS IT! Their blue cheese burger is the best! Better than any we have had. The service is quick, kind and approachable. The chef even came out to great us and talk. We will be coming back on a regular basis!

This is a great local bar, or more Tavern. They have a focus on their beer, but on the days they serve food it is excellent. The service is outstanding. The ambiance quirky. The price is reasonable.

This has become a favorite spot of ours to meet up, enjoy some craft beer and excellent bar food, and play some cards. The service is great, staff are friendly and inviting, and the beer selection has a great mix of IPAs, porters, stouts, ciders, etc. The wings were a standout during our last visit. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

Service was top notch, if you are going here for the beer and atmosphere it's a very nice little place.This review is about the food, Not the Beer.Stuffed Mushrooms : $10 Raw Mushroom caps with a Chip dip inside.Not what I was expecting, Not Good, Not Worth $.French Fries w/truffle : $7 Frozen French fries with Garlic drizzle. Had better at Red Robin.Tap Burger : $16 for a Tiny Meat Patty that was propped up with lettuce and a tomato. Sadly enough 5 Guy's burger is better and had more quality meat.I went in hoping for the best. Unfortunately this place, like every other restaurant in Columbia was Not Good.

First time trying Random Tap. We tried the Sunday brunch, and it was very good. Nice fluffy biscuit with great peppery gravy. Well definitely eat there again.

Visited this place for the first time. It’s pretty cool, nice atmosphere. It would be an awesome gathering, Place. however,Your prices are pretty high beer was about 20% higher than it should be food was about 40% higher than it should be in the ended up adding on 3 1/2% credit card charge in the hospitality tax and a retail tax. If they were more straightforward with their pricing structure and not nickel and diming, every customer walks in the door, I think they would get more business and give patrons a good feeling. The service was good, however and the staff was very pleasant

One of those rare dive-bars that get it just right. The atmosphere is laid back with a host of randomized beverages on tap to expand your drinking experience. The food is FANTASTIC! Way better than I was expecting out of a small bar like this, and better than most big-name bar/restaurants. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Hands down, my new favorite haunt.Parking: Very limited parking. Keeps the place from getting crowded, but can also be a little annoying during the busy times.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible with handicap parking.

The 5 stars are not necessarily for the establishment, but are for Aubrey. Went for a late lunch today (a Saturday) and, at the time we were there, must've been between shifts, as Aubrey was wearing the hat of every position in the place. And he was nailing it all! They were out of a few of my first choice beers and my first choice food, but no matter. Honestly, the service was so great under the circumstances, all was forgiven, and my friends and I had a great meal and some great beer on a beautiful afternoon. Aubrey is a gem!

I love coming here when I visit Elgin, SC. It's down the road from my Grandmother's and I know I can grab a quick bite and a cold cider. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They always seem to have live music each week too. 10/10 recommend if you find yourself on Spears Creek Church rd.
