50 Best Bars in Greenville

“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!“

“I went in with high expectations and Sum Bar absolutely met them. I absolutely adore this spot. The vibes are immaculate, the dining are and bar super comfy and inviting. The food was absolutely incredible, everything we ate was delicious and full of flavor. My favorites were the crab rangoon appetizer and the hotteok. I think I shed a tear whenever I bit into the hotteok. We both got an orange blossom drink, crab rangoon, green beans, sui mai, chicken wantons, char siu, sesame balls and hotteok. I was strongly considering getting more crab rangoon lol but I would absolutely come back just to sit at the bar and grab a crab rangoon, a drink and a hotteok.

The service was great as well, all the people we encountered were super friendly. The guy who was running the food gave us the run down on the sauces and was very knowledgeable on everything. Everything came out quick and hot.

Would recommend everyone in the Greenville area come and try this place. It’s so good, and for a fair, decent price you get some great high quality food. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Welcoming atmosphere!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food is great. It is a great place to hangout with friends and family. It was my first visit and I will definitely go back again.“

“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“

“Spirit & Bower is a beautiful restaurant at the Grand Bohemian, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was Krista and her team. Krista went above and beyond to bring my vision to life, helping execute personalized details that made our celebration feel incredibly thoughtful and unique.

The team created an entire bourbon tasting experience just for us, and every detail was beautifully executed. The selection, presentation, and personalized touches exceeded every expectation and made the evening one we’ll never forget.

Hospitality like this is rare, and it’s the reason we’ll always remember our stay at the Grand Bohemian. If you’re celebrating something special, I can’t recommend Krista and the team at Spirit & Bower highly enough.“

“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.

“1st time in from out of town. Friendly staff, it was a live band on Saturday night they were very good. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. We didn't eat anything due to we had dinner already but we will return its a very down to earth place.“

“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.“

“First time coming to RR for the Nirvani show, and it was a really fun venue. Good view of the stage from anywhere in the venue, and the grilled cheese was fantastic. Staff at the door were friendly and the security staff was on it all night. They worked it like Roadhouse and played cooler all night, making sure all the negative energy was kept at bay.

All in all, a super cool place.“

“Cool place! Cheap beer! Pool!“

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“

“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!“

“You'll see on reviews about membership, yes you should be a member(membership doesn't cost much you just can't drink) or know a member to get in. Most of us will let you in on our own as long as you don't cause trouble. We play league here (APA) sorry if that inconveniences you, one of the bartenders is a league member, and the owner is fully aware of how this bar is run. Friendly people, good food, games to watch and pool to play.“

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

“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.“

“We had such a wonderful experience at City Tavern, and a huge part of that was thanks to Erin! She was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. It’s rare to come across service that feels so sincere, and Erin made us feel truly taken care of throughout our meal. The food was excellent as well, everything was delicious and came out perfectly. We will definitely be back.“

“Love to hit this old school food & bar place. As a smoker, I enjoy that I can light up inside the place and indulge in an adult beverage. Reminds me of older, better days- but the place does not wreak of smoke.
The crowd is laid-back and welcoming with occasional live music in the small venue“
