| 70 /100 307 E MCBEE AVE “Large outside patio area that offers a 300 inch projection screen television. Inside the bar area has several TVs to watch football on. The beers were decent but mostly average. They serve food but I didn’t eat this trip. Definitely a decent place to have decent beers while watching football.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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“ |
| 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.“ |
| 52 /100 Corks & Caps (Beer Store) N1788 LILY OF THE VALLEY DR, #3 “Small and nondescript. Decent but oddball selection. High prices. Service wasn't great. Some decent snacks available. Easy parking. Kinda in the middle of nowhere. Not recommended unless you're local.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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.

| 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.“ |
| 68 /100 9 SOUTH RACE STREET “This is a little cozy brewpub one block off the main street in the small quiet north-western PA village of Greenville, very quite. East to find and plenty of parking. Unobtrusive view from the street, inside this place is charmingly small and rustic. Friendly with a few TV’s and a small bar that seats about 6. Plenty of tables on the floor. Yes, a little bar with very friendly help. The only food they have are these delicious pulled pork or ox barbecue sandwiches. Side dishes include soup and stout chili. Free popcorn if you want it as well. They normally have 6-7 of their own beers on tap but they only had four on the friday night I stopped there. They also serve local wine. Not bad, something different to do in a small town on a friday evening.“ |
| 70 /100 Party Time Liquor Outlet (Beer Store) 9632 US 150 “Nice shop that has a nice selection of craft beers - expanding their single selection. Good selection of local craft beer. Really can’t compete with Keg Liquors or LBS but impressive for a small town store. Worth a stop if passing by.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 76 /100 Pizza by Elizabeths (Restaurant) 3801 KENNETT PIKE “So stopped in here due to having best pizza in Delaware on some list that i saw. In a standard plaza but then its decorated like old Victorian place. very unexpected and nice kind of fancier than expected. the food is fantastic i had blue crab and artichoke pizza. Anyways another reason to come is that they have a brewery as well which i didn’t know until arriving. Frozen Toes Brewing so if you want these beers and delicious food come here. They had 3 frozen toes beers on, 3 more local deleware brews,2 standard craft offerings and 2 macros on tap.“ |
| 72 /100 Corks & Caps (Beer Store) N1788 LILY OF THE VALLEY DR, #3 “Smallish. Decent setup with some gems, but overall standard. Staff during visit less than helpful or friendly.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 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.“ |
| 52 /100 Trader Joe’s - Greenville (Grocery Store) 59 WOODRUFF INDUSTRIAL LN “This Trader Joe’s was next to our hotel so we visited it when hitting the road. The beer selection was quite limited and the selection of singles was even more limited. 6 different beers to choose from.... Quite ridiculous. The guy behind the register was very nice and into beers but that doesn’t make this worth visiting... beer wise.“ |
| 84 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “When we entered the store there was Left Coast tasting event going on so we were introduced to some Left Coast brews. Quite small store but nice selection. All the beers available as singles. Managed to find some nice Westbrook and Prairie beers. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.“ |
| 78 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “Slightly claustrophobic, basement location as a decent cellar vibe. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Rare beers come through here. Excellent variety for limited space. Limited tap selection usually has something interesting. Imports are relatively strong. Willing to sell singles of anything without price gouging.“ |
| 66 /100 Cork and Tap (Bar) 409 MILLS AVE, STE 201 “Very pleasant service. 16 taps - 14 craft beers beers, 1 cider; 1 PBR. Across the street from the olde mill bldg. ^ bar seats plus a couch and various tables.“ |
| 78 /100 The Greenville Beer Exchange (Beer Store) 7 S LAURENS ST “I came here after visiting another well-reviewed bottle shop and felt this was a nice place but second in almost every category: more cramped, more awkward layout, fewer rarities, more expensive. On the plus side, the guy at the counter mentioned they are open to trades if you bring in a bottle from an outside region!“ |
| 86 /100 The Community Tap - N. Main (Beer Store) 217 WADE HAMPTON BLVD “Really nice selection and good odds of having rarer Westbrook stuff if it’s still around. Had a great time here chatting with the staff and getting some Gozu!“ |
| 42 /100 Rivals Sports Bar & Grill (Restaurant) 2309 HWY 1 SOUTH “In any other city, this place would really suck, but in an absolute shithole like Greenville, it’s among the best.
If you happen to find yourself in Greenville, I’d recommend leaving as soon as possible, but if for some reason you need to find some food and a mediocre beer, this is your place.“ |
