4 Best Gastropubs near Greenville

“I was visiting Greenville last weekend with my family and we had pre-dinner cocktails at Nose Dive. We had a wonderful experience. The Basil Bourbon Smash is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had.“

“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎“

“Meghan(Tyson) our server was AH mazing. We were in town visiting from Wilmington, NC for my husbands birthday. We came into the packed night spot only to end up sitting across from the men's bathroom. She noticed and made sure we had a seat up front to enjoy Chris Hunt, the performer. He was fanstaztic too. She was super attentive despite a full restaurant. She even made sure my husband had a birthday dessert complete with candle and birthday message on the plate. It made his birthday complete. Thanks Champ!💪🎂🎉“
