“What a nice surprise. Being from out of town, we weren’t certain what to expect but this establishment was so fun, friendly, and the food was excellent. Not a huge menu, but what they do, they do well. Everything is hand breaded..from the shrimp to the chicken tenders. It’s a little smokey inside but the food and fun make up for it. If we lived here, we’d become regulars.“

“Great venue! I attended one of the last shows at this location. 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.“

“10/10 — from the vibes to the cocktails to the bartenders we can’t rave enough about vault. Ryan and andrea made us the most incredible dealer choice cocktails but not only were the cocktails amazing, everytime we come here the cocktails are incredible. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cocktail forward bar!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Thanks for your encouragement and support about this because I had no idea how they care about me and they paid for a private Club and it is very nice thing about the customers there and I encourage the visitors try go there a membership at the private Club at the price is 10.00 dollars for life and they are very nice people“

“My GF loved the lemondrop martini. I had a stella draft, which was good. Prices are appropriate for a hotel bar with amazing views and good service. Someone's charcuterie board looked delicious. Service was fast because the manager was working with his staff. Very friendly service. Really enjoyed, I hope one day I'll be rich enough to charge my drinks to my room 😁!“

“Went here for our anniversary last night and it was so nice! I had the duck salad and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was so friendly, sweet, and genuine. Service was great. Can’t say enough great things 💛“

“An Unforgettable Staycation at Hotel Hartness I recently treated myself to a staycation at Hotel Hartness in Greenville, SC, and it was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. I live in Columbia, so this was a quick getaway—but it felt like a world-class vacation. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. Tyesha made check-in seamless and welcoming, Dwayne and Front Office Manager Marie ensured every detail was perfect, and Kadir provided a warm and efficient check-out and even provided an umbrella due to the rain as I was leaving. Each interaction was genuinely kind and professional. The on-site restaurant served absolutely delicious meals, and the spa experience was pure bliss—so relaxing and beautifully maintained. Every aspect of the hotel felt luxurious yet inviting. If you’re looking for a nearby escape with five-star service, I can’t recommend Hotel Hartness enough. I’m already planning my next visit!“

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

“Stopped in for a quick snack, had the dumplings and sesame balls. Both were just perfect. Great mocktials as well. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

Sawyer our waiter was great as well! They were pretty busy but all of the staff were hustling.

My only complaint is they only have Rebel Rabbit for Thc beverages, but no big deal.“

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

“We just had a surprise Dinner Party for my Husband at Coral. Jen could not have helped me more setting up the plans for a surprise evening!! She helped me pre-order Appetizers and Dessert. She was very quick with responses to all of my questions and made helpful suggestions to me. Our table ordered Sea Food, Lamb, and Vegetarian Dishes and everyone was beautifully presented and delicious. The Appetizers looked like they belonged in a magazine and were delicious as well! We could not have been more pleased with our experience. This was about the fourth time at Coral and it is hands down our favorite place to dine in Greenville, SC! Thank you to Chris and Jeff also for adding to our fabulous evening!! Pamela Koenig“

“A reimagined local go to bar…yes please. The renovation brought a cool new vibe but kept the comfortable neighborhood feel that I’ve always loved. The new menu is a combination of comfort food you crave and bar food you want to munch on. The service is the best. Nicest people.“

“I went for karaoke on a whim and ended up having the best time with some cool people and the great staff! 5 ✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

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

“Definitely a 10 out of 10 on food, drinks, and atmosphere. Come see your favorite bartender. We are open 7 days a week. We have Free Cover Fridays, Sensational Saturdays, and Layed-Back Sundays. No matter when you decide to come its always a grown, fun, enjoyable spot to be. Come check it out 1243 S. Pleasantburg Drive.“

“This place definitely is a vibe if u want to chill on the weekends 😌 love this place an love making new peeps 💕 love the staff people there always kind an sweet & boss is amazing 👏 I will always be here on weekends !!! ❤️“

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

“This place is the BOMB! The atmosphere is lively, yet casually laid back. Perfect for that casual drink with a friend or relaxing place after a long day. But even better is the service. Dennis & Logan are two of the dopest bartenders out there who also know how to make a killer drink. I love coming here for Dennis’ expert take on an old fashioned, which he has spent a lot of time and effort refining. And I don’t kid when I say that this is Greenville’s best old fashioned. The attitude behind the bar is very laidback, which will likely offput people expecting a pretentious, posh atmosphere. But if you want a drink made by people who care about what goes in your glass, trust me, pay Rey’s a visit.“

“I may be biased, but this is my favorite place to go ever. I love every bartender, every cook, and Brian who can do it all! Staff is friendly, helpful, and I’ve made some amazing memories and friends! I even bought some really cool darts from their dart storage thingy!“

““The cracklin chicken thigh was the best chicken I ever ate in my life. It was so juicy. I loved the meat. I didn’t love the skin. This is a 5 star review.” Axel Allison, age 9“

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

“Hall’s Chophouse has put itself as my #1 dinning experience so far. We reserved a stop for our wedding anniversary and couldn’t not have asked for a better dinner. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The steak was to perfection. Taylor and staff were the absolute best. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary dinner.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“No matter what you get here it’s great. I get the smoked wing plate with extra sides and it’s excellent every time. The baked beans are really good too. Fried ribs are definitely worth having. The nachos are really tasty too. Great place to eat and there’s usually doggies in the outdoor eating area which is really cool, love the dogs and Moe’s.“

“We had a wonderful experience here! We just happened to stop in and get a drink and had the best coffee rubbed steak appetizer! -Let me recommend the espresso martini on tap!!!! They have figured it out. It was perfect. it was so good we left and then came back for dinner! We had of course, the espresso martini and the chicken fried chicken. Best we have had and we are from Tennessee! Great job! Great staff and great atmosphere!“

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

“I recommend the Waka Kava high tide.“
