One of the first places we were introduced to when we were considering relocating to the Upstate. We have never been disappointed when visiting The Wandering Bard.For first-timers, I recommend getting a flight or two to figure out what you like. For me, it's the Carolina Peach Reaper. So good.

What a great place! Huge selection of exceptional meads. Great people! We went early, mid-week, and spent a ton of time chatting with the owner about mead. Thoroughly enjoyed my flight. No wonder they have more medals than you can count hanging on the wall.

Originally left a 1 star by mistake thinking I left a 4 star and they responded so fast I'm leaving 5 ? love the blueberry mead. Can't wait to try more.

The blueberry mead and carrot cake mead were both delicious. Friendly bartender. The sweatshirt I bought is very soft.

We did a mead tasting event here. Mead was very good and the atmosphere was very cool. The presentation and wvent was a bit rough. Needs some classing up, etc. Charcuterie they served was very good. Overall, I highly recommend.

I love the atmosphere here and the mead is delicious! I went last week for D&D night and had the best time just watching and learning. I love me some Wandering Bard Meadery!

The meads here are amazing. They have a flight so you can try several. Great space. The girl working both times wasn’t personable though.

Horrible place that ruins the atmosphere of Hampton Place. Very disrespectful. They have a speaker out front that blares heavy metal music. I’m a fan of all types of music but they wreck the atmosphere of adjacent restaurantsShow some class

I haven't had much experience with Mead before so I was pretty open to the experience. There is quite a selection and they have 2 flights with 5 different preselected meads to try. You are able to change any of the preselected drinks if another sounds too good to pass up. The beginner flight gave me the chance to experience their unique flavors and profiles. The Battle Bard mead was the biggest surprise of the night. I am not a fan of hops including IPA's and was informed that this "dry-hoped" drink was not like that. They were 100% correct. I was able to taste the hops but the bitterness associated with IPA's simply wasn't there. It was very pleasant and I would definitely order it again. This establishment is in the perfect complex with other businesses creating a destination for a very fun night.
I love this place for the unique flavors and atmosphere! The staff are great at recommending drinks!

We were looking to check off the Upstate Ale Trail but found much more. We were welcomed into an atmosphere of new friends and a new beverage. Definitely will be back with more friends.
