11 Best Bars in Sumter

“Fantastic experience at Side Bar! We ordered the Big Daddy platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were hands-down the best we've ever had—so good we couldn't even put them down to start on the brisket! The meat portions are massive; the coleslaw and sides were fine, but honestly, with that much incredible meat, you barely touch them anyway.
​The industrial metalwork and atmosphere are really cool—I need those chandeliers for my home bar! Huge shoutout to our server, Felicity. She was amazing, knowledgeable, and kept a hilarious back-and-forth banter going all evening. Exceptional food and service!“

“Review of The Hamptons Restaurant - Sumter, South Carolina I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Hamptons restaurant in Sumter, South Carolina, and I can confidently say it was one of the most remarkable dining experiences of my life. As someone who has frequented many fine dining establishments in Los Angeles, I can assure you that The Hamptons is second to none. I chose to indulge in the braised short ribs, paired with creamy cheese grits, and I was absolutely blown away. The short ribs were nothing short of extraordinary; they were so tender they practically fell off the bone, delivering rich, savory flavors that lingered delightfully on the palate. Before placing my order, I consulted with my attentive server, who enthusiastically recommended the short ribs, noting that patrons travel from afar just to savor them. Now that I’ve experienced them myself, I completely understand why! The atmosphere at The Hamptons is another highlight of the experience. The intimate setting, complemented by tasteful decor and soft lighting, creates a cozy yet upscale ambiance that makes every moment feel special. It’s the perfect backdrop for savoring each bite and enjoying the company of friends or loved ones. To top it all off, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully attended to, which truly enhanced the overall experience. In summary, if you find yourself in Sumter, South Carolina, do not miss the opportunity to dine at The Hamptons. With its exquisite cuisine, exceptional service, and inviting atmosphere, it promises an unforgettable culinary journey that rivals the finest dining establishments in any major city. I can’t wait to return!“

“The Par-Tee is a great place to have a few drinks, play darts, or play pool. This is a private club that is free to join you just need to be at least 21 or older and have a valid ID. They have a 4-7 happy hour where most drinks are .50 off. It is a full service bar with well drinks for just $3.00. Come on down on a Saturday where they have karaoke 🎤 and sing. They have a band at least once a month. Open Mic on Tuesdays.“
