A nice selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Friendly bar staff and service overall is fairly decent as far as the vista goes. Just don’t expect to have five star service, and you will really enjoy yourself.

Nice, comfortable restaurant. It was a nice day when we came by, so we sat outside. To get to the patio you must walk by the very, very lengthy bar. They had a respectable selection of regional taps along with the house brews. I had some she-crab soup that was quite tasty, too.

Very nice beer selection - probably the best in the area and will most likely improve with the new laws. Made the mistake of going the same weekend as USC graduation day so was extremely busy and took a long time to get our food but wait staff was extremely friendly and took 75% off our bill. Nice place.

Visited here in May ’07. Impressive looking bar area (did not eat in the restaurant) with big mirrors and a huge bar in a restored downtown building. Had about 50 taps that I could see and a big giant sign on the opposite wall from the bar listing all the available beers. Here’s the problem - most of the craft beer on the wall were no longer on tap - they were waiting to change the wall when the "pop the cap" bill gets signed. Upon further inspection of the taps - they are mostly run of the mill standards, popular imports and scantily few micros from the Carolinas. Was hoping to have some Palmetto or Duck Rabbit - all they had was one Duck Rabbit - the amber. Also have four of their own on tap. Great ambiance though and quick service. Will give them another shot on my next visit to town.

Certainly one of the most popular places in town -- excellent food -- large bar and patio -- always hopping and great energy. In an historic building across from the old depot in the Vista -- a blcok from Flying Sauce. Really huge selection of beers.

Stopped in briefly here. They have 36 taps with plenty of regional stuff including obviously the Liberty brews and some New South stuff. The bar is very extensive and outdoor patio seating is also available. It’s an okay place with a decent amount of beer, but I’d only visit here if I was in the immediate vicinity, i.e. on this street rather than anywhere near Flying Saucer.
