Latest reviews from Greenville
| 88 /100 400 AUGUSTA ST “Think like a southeastern Horus mixed with Weldwerks, heavily adjuncted but very well done strong beers, hazies and some wacky fruited sours / seltzers. Place itself is surprisingly small given the hype I perceive this place to have. Beers were terrific, and easy enough to get some of their vintage beers as well.
Definitely worth a stop if in the area (this was my #1 stop on a trip to Asheville).“ |
| 76 /100 1320 HAMPTON AVE. SUITE 3 “Same area as Birds Fly South, with lots of food options in same complex. Meads are very good, especially the stronger ones. Flights available. Bottles to go.“ |
| 72 /100 Total Wine & More - Greenville, SC (Beer Store) 1125 WOODRUFF ROAD, SUITE 300 “Total Wine like many others. Not that spectacular selection, but still everyone should be able ti find something.“ |
| 88 /100 104 MAULDIN RD, SUITE A “Short stop on our way to the mountains, this small operation turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Taproom is just next to the homebrew supply shop and I guess brewing is done somewhere in the back. They had around 15 beers on tap, different styles. The quality was very good to excellent. I was impressed with their imperial stout, it's not easy to find a superb old school impy these days. Service was excellent. The owner was very friendly and had a chat with all the guests. He knows his beers and it was very nice to have a chat. Free snacks as well. One of the highlights of our South USA trip.“ |
| 84 /100 400 AUGUSTA ST “Eclectic interior. Strong beer list with decent mix of styles. Outside of the sours and strong malty options, beers weren't great. Stouts and barley wines were phenomenal though. Flights of 6. A few bottle options, including lucking out and getting some vintage stuff.“ |
| 64 /100 109 W STONE AVE “We came here on 24.7.2022. Was our last stop before heading to Ashville. Nice location. You can get food from the BBQ place next door. Very comfortable outside seating. Beers were mediocre“ |
| 80 /100 400 AUGUSTA ST “Visited 3/2020. It was Monday so after weekend they had only 4 of their own beers available on tap. Luckily one was IPA and one sour so I got a chance to taste their hyped beers and... they were quite good! Place itself gave me mixed feelings. Flight of four available for tickers!“ |
| 82 /100 109 W STONE AVE “Visited 3/2020. Nice clean brewery and there is good BBQ place just next to it. 11 beers was available on tap. IPAs were much better than I expected and very rare beer style in USA biere de garde was very good. Nice surprise! Tasters for tickers available.“ |
| 54 /100 104 MAULDIN RD, SUITE A “Very small taproom as part of brewing supply shop. Pretty wide selection for the size, but the taproom seems to be a secondary business to the rest. It jut doesn't stand out versus all the other area options.“ |
| 80 /100 307 E MCBEE AVE “Has more of a restaurant feel and a more polished appearance than other area breweries. Good selection of beer and food. Indoor and patio seating, several televisions. Overall the beers I have tasted are good and true to style,“ |
| 62 /100 109 W STONE AVE “Opened in the summer of 2018. Nice location and atmosphere. Food available at the BBQ restaurant nearby. Small selection on tap. I'd say it is middle of the pack for area breweries.“ |
| 84 /100 400 AUGUSTA ST “This is the place to go in Greenville for some really wild beers. Funky collection of styles - some work and some are so different I wouldn't consider them beers! Many guest taps to complement their brews. They also have a nice menu of food. Interior kind of reminds me of a German biergarten with long tables.“ |
| 86 /100 311 E. WASHINGTON ST “Nice eclectic and cozy atmosphere with a cool vibe. Wide variety of styles and seasonal beers, generally very good beers, even for styles that are not my typical favorites.“ |
| 54 /100 6 WHITLEE CT “I've visited a few times. The ambiance is pretty good, but the taste of the beers I tried leaves something to be desired. On my first trip, every beer I ordered came with a disclaimer from the bartender such as "this batch is a little off" or "too strong flavor from the barrel." Gave it a second try about a year later, taste of the beers was average at best.“ |
| 76 /100 2054 PIEDMONT HIGHWAY “An established brewery, established before taprooms were legal. The taproom looks like an afterthought. This brings down my overall rating. The beers are excellent and generally true to style - even styles that are not my favorite are well done.“ |
| 74 /100 Total Wine & More - Greenville, SC (Beer Store) 1125 WOODRUFF ROAD, SUITE 300 “Conveniently located on the I-85 corridor, this was a good place for me to stop on a cross-country drive to pick up some regional singles. Total Wine is Total Wine just about anywhere you go now -- decent selection, you can take a single of anything you want in most states. I left with a case full of things I can't get in Virginia or Louisiana.“ |
| 94 /100 311 E. WASHINGTON ST “I visited when this place was pretty new. I'm very impressed with how good the beer is already. They came out swinging. There's a great variety of lagers, American ales, Belgians, etc. Everything I had was top notch. The space is large with a giant patio out front as well. This is one of the few breweries you can easily hit just walking around downtown. If I'm ever back in Greenville I'd love to see how much they've grown. I'm not sure what else you'd want from a brewery around these parts.“ |
| 92 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Road Trip! I needed that SC place tick baby! This little place is in downtown Greenville. There is free parking in ramps, which is good cause street parking is a PITA. The space is very small, but packed with solid beer. I was pretty surprised at some of the things I found, including BA Ten Fidy stovepipes, Fonta Flora, bottles of Last Snow, and more. Really impressively packed selection. Plus they have a 16 tap growler fill station with a good mix of beers all available in sizes from half pour to growler fill. Prices grate, service laid back and friendly. Well worth a detour to check this place out.“ |
| 80 /100 104 MAULDIN RD, SUITE A “I stopped in here mostly to look at homebrew supplies since they were open at 10am and I was on my way to Carolina Bauernhaus in Anderson. Turns out, this is one of the best beer stops in Greenville. Owner Ken has been homebrewing for 27 years, and has his license to sell beer in a cozy taproom next to the homebrew supply shop. He has four taps out front behind a small bar, and there a couch and few tables also. He has many more beers in the back. Flight of four 5 ounce pours are six bucks, and every beer I tried was solid. Ken is an IPA man, so that style featured heavily, but he had stouts and porters as well. He even has two barrels for aging. He is starting to try his hand at sours, but his first try was a bit rough, a second one he let me taste has more potential. It was an absolute pleasure to chat about beer in general and the local and regional beer scene over some tasty samples. Well worth a stop, and since it's right off I-85 (in Mauldin) it's an easier stop if you're passing through than going into Greenville itself.“ |
| 96 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Visited in 2015, just noticed that I forgot to add my place rating!?! I was such an amazing visit that I still remember it clearly. We arrived with fumes left in the car, because we were trying to make it before closing, and we made it with just 10 minutes to spare. We walk explained how we’d heard about them from RB and had driven in especially to see them and they were kind enough to stay open for us, so we buy some of their awesome selection of locals and rarities. We both took home more beer then our already stuffed to the gills car could handle, but hey, when you find a great beer store that goes out of there way to be very accommodating, that should be rewarded. Very highly recommended!“ |
| 64 /100 Brixx Wood Fired Pizza - Greenville (Restaurant) 1125 WOODRUFF ROAD “Smaller then your typical Brixx, but no less solid beer selection, typical of the chain.“ |
| 68 /100 1 AUGUSTA STREET “Located under the Mellow Mushroom, this newly opened pub looks as if it has been there for decades. Friendly if somewhat inefficient wait staff. Good salad. 4 house beers on tap reflect both traditional (porter) and innovative (a beet jasmine Citra IPA) styles.

| 72 /100 6 WHITLEE CT “Large place, 30 barrel system, in a light industrial business court off I-85 with unlimited parking. Corner bar in the front of the production facility. No a/c though, but they had a massive fan like you see in the movies, producing a gale force wind. Flights of four in small jars were available, one dollar upcharge for seasonals and some beers were not allowed in flights. Small number of guest taps. Food trailer available when we visited. Crowlers too. Worthwhile detour.“ |
| 90 /100 Trappe Door (Bar) 23 W WASHINGTON ST “Put simply, this place is the stuff. Walk downstairs (under the related but completely different Barley’s, an excellent beer establishment in its own right) into a dark underground bar and you might as well be in a centuries-old European pub. The focus here is on Belgium, so a dozen or so on tap complemented by a well curated bottle list. A selection of wine and hand crafted cocktails are also available. If that weren’t enough, the food is excellent too - favorites include the several variations of mussels and frites (with multiple mayonnaise options), braised short ribs and the Flemish stew. It gets busy most nights but especially on weekends. If you can’t call ahead then shucks, you can sit at the bar while you wait for a table. These are Belgian beers after all though, so if you have to wait too long you might need a cab more than a seat for dinner.“ |
| 68 /100 2054 PIEDMONT HIGHWAY “Visited February 2017. Quick stop when driving past along highway. IPA was OK. Place is quite mess and lots of dogs around.“ |
| 66 /100 Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria (Restaurant) 25 WEST WASHINGTON “Typical pizza place with a long bar on one side, the rest is restaurant tables. Pizza was tasty and beer list was solid enough, available in pints or 10 ounce pours.“ |
| 82 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Our first stop on an Atlanta weekend. Great choice too. Small store, two small rooms jam packed with good bottles. Just two tables so we stood at the growler fill station and chatted to staff. Pints and half pours of everything at the growler station are possible, or you can drink bottles in house. No food. Staff were terrific, prices were good. Loved it.“ |
| 100 /100 6 WHITLEE CT “Great tasting brewed beers, Southern Style and Fishin’ Beer are among our favorites, the idea of a "Crowler" is awesome too! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for Android“ |
| 84 /100 Trappe Door (Bar) 23 W WASHINGTON ST “Visited on a busy Saturday evening. Really cool spot, definitely the type of place that is up my alley. Dark lighting, lots of brick and wood, a very enjoyable atmosphere. Around 16 beers on tap and lots more in the bottle. Prices were a little high, but expected for a place that focuses on belgian beers. I didn’t have dinner, but the menu looked delicious and worth checking out in the future. Service wasn’t great, but they were pretty busy. Servers seemed to be pretty snobby to people who came in without reservations. Overall, though, really cool place, definitely wish there were more places like this around that give you a belgian experience. Next time I’m in Greenville, I’ll return.“ |
| 80 /100 Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria (Restaurant) 25 WEST WASHINGTON “Visited on a busy Saturday evening. 2-story pub, with dining and a bar on the main floor and another bar with pool tables and games on the second floor. Different selections of beer at the two different bars. Pretty good selection, but the majority of the taps weren’t too exciting for me (being from Charlotte, I was hoping to find a good selection of beers that were unique for SC), but I was surprised and happy to find a Creature Comforts and a Cigar City on tap.“ |
| 82 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty small store, but they make good use of the space. A very nice selection, and prices seemed pretty good. Growler filling station with 16 taps. Sounds like if you are from out of town, they can ship you any beers that you pick out. Great place to check out and right near other good beer places.“ |
| 68 /100 Total Wine & More - Greenville, SC (Beer Store) 1125 WOODRUFF ROAD, SUITE 300 “Very large selection, especially for those seeking singles. Lowest price signs are scattered about but this is not true in most cases. Coming here today from the Whole foods across the blvd., I was able to compare a couples of prices, and Whole Foods was cheaper on both items. The not-low prices are bumped up again if buying singles rather than 4- or 6-packs. Warehouse atmosphere and service. They do have some beers, especially imports, that I have not seen elsewhere in the state.“ |
| 86 /100 Carolina Ale House (Restaurant) 1115 WOODRUFF RD. “Great sports bar / tap room with good food and an excellent selection of craft beer.“ |
| 68 /100 Chop ’47 (Restaurant) 36 BEACON DR. “Excellent steak with a premium price. Bottle of local craft beer available , but much more of a wine and cocktail joint,“ |
| 74 /100 California Dreaming (Restaurant) 40 BEACON DR “Very nice restaurant with excellent food and service but limited craft beer. But they do have a couple local craft brews on tap, so it’s better than nothing.“ |
| 70 /100 6 WHITLEE CT “The taproom is right in the warehouse that houses the brewery. While I generally like this arrangement it was quite noisy much of the time, but then I arrived before Quittin time. Additional seating available in the back where there’s a large but uncovered concrete patio. Some games add to the appeal, including a foosball table. Growlers and 32 oz crowlers to go.“ |
| 90 /100 Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria (Restaurant) 25 WEST WASHINGTON “jrallen34 has a BA.“ |
| 72 /100 Nose Dive Gastropub (Restaurant) 116 MAIN ST “Nice place in downtown. I sat outside on a pleasant evening and is excellent environment. Good draft and bottle with mix of local and national craft choices. I didn't have the good so can't comment. Service was very good , attentive and friendly.“ |
| 86 /100 Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria (Restaurant) 25 WEST WASHINGTON “Bigger place in the very nice Greenville downtown area. Pool tables, darts shuffle board, pub food. Upstairs and downstairs both have lot’s of options, each different. Bartender was very knowledgeable, had a good conversation about sours. Nothing they had blew me away, but a wide variety of styles. Definitely worth a stop.“ |
| 78 /100 Greens Discount Beverage - Greenville (Beer Store) 445 CONGAREE ROAD “Nice newer place, big selection, lot’s of beer and wine. Lots of local stuff as well as widely distributed stuff, lot’s of stuff that doesn’t usually sit on the shelf very long. Nice staff. Good place.“ |
| 74 /100 Trappe Door (Bar) 23 W WASHINGTON ST “Underground pub with a cool old world vibe, but something about it seems unfinished - i couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but it seemed like they were trying to transport you to belgium but couldn’t quite succeed in getting you to forget you were in South Carolina - neat draft system suspended from the ceiling - not a lot of drafts, but a well-selected assortment of import and domestic Belgian styles - drafts are small pours for high prices, but that’s fairly common with Belgians - still, it’s sometimes hard to justify paying six bucks for 5 ounces of beer - they had the Dupont smoked beer on tap, which was cool, but I had to pay nine bucks for a glass - the bottle list looks impressive at first glance, but does not have anything anyone with beer knowledge wouldn’t consider common and easy to attain - staff was decent enough, but not exactly what I would consider "friendly" - I did not eat, as I had just been to Barley’s, but the food looked good - a cool spot - nice to see a place like this in the south.“ |
| 80 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Small, cramped store, but the ambiance is nice and the space is utilized well (ie. They fit a lot of beer into that space) - however, the small space does make one constantly nervous that he is about to knock something over - mostly singles and large format bottles, but some domestic craft six packs as well - impressive import selection - there were some locals, but not a ton - there is a growler filling station with a pretty impressive selection of draft-only regional brews - prices seemed fine, but I have no real context - staff was helpful and seemed to know the product well - quite a nice store, really - I wouldn’t call it world class, but for the region it is certainly very good.“ |
| 72 /100 Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria (Restaurant) 25 WEST WASHINGTON “Stopped in for lunch and a brew while in town - kind of an old school decor and vibe - if you’ve ever been in an American brewpub or beer bar that has been around for more than 10 or 15 years, you’ll recognize this vibe immediately - anyway - clearly a very family-friendly establishment - lots of families on my visit - very nice selection of draft beer, ranging from craft staples to a few rarities - far fewer regional beers than I had hoped (two Westbrook and a handful of others) - decent bottle list, plus "vintage" beers that mostly consist of readily available strong beers that just happen to be very old - staff was welcoming, but apparently not sufficient to handle the crowd, as they were not very attentive - when I was done with my beer and food, the bartender shoved the check at me without asking if I needed anything else (I didn’t, but that is not the point) - being a native New Yorker, I am pretty particular about pizza - this was merely decent - kind of dry - the fact that everyone in there besides me was eating their pizza with a fork and knife made the New Yorker in me want to have a heart attack - servers did not seem that well versed in the beer or glassware (I overheard two of them discussing whether or not to pour a Bourbon County Stout into a pint glass), but this can mostly be forgiven - overall, the beer selection is nice, but the service and food make the place lacking for me (perhaps the stuff besides pizza is good) kind of like a not as cool version of Max’s in Baltimore (if you’ve been there, you’ll immediately see why I make the comparison) - I would come back for a beer.“ |
| 74 /100 The Community Tap - N. Main (Beer Store) 217 WADE HAMPTON BLVD “Friendly joint in a strip center on the outskirts of downtown. Around 10 taps and maybe 100 bottles. The spot for growler fills.“ |
| 94 /100 The Community Tap - N. Main (Beer Store) 217 WADE HAMPTON BLVD “Great selection of beer by the bottle and always something new on tap! Staff seems to know their stuff, and I try to stop in on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays when they’re fully restocked w/ liquid goodies!“ |
| 84 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Great shop, lots of selection, great staff.“ |
| 88 /100 2054 PIEDMONT HIGHWAY “This place appears to have come a long way since the 2 old reviews below. The have a tap room and 11 taps. The beer variety and quality were very strong. This is a casual place...but a fun one nonetheless. The tap room although not amazing or anything...is nice enough and does the trick. The staff here are great though and one of their biggest assets next to the beers of course. I met the father and son that run the place. I enjoyed my conversations with them. I also took and tour and checked out their homebrew shop...which is right in the brewing area. At the end of the day though...come for the beers...they range from good to very good...with some unusual and innovative recipes as well.“ |
