25 Best Cocktail Bars near Mauldin

“Despite the fact that I have not had the opportunity to dine in, I have placed several orders from this establishment. The quality of the food has been satisfactory, and the service has been exceptional. The staff has been courteous and accommodating. I do recommend this establishment.“

“Had a great time with my family here. Was shocked at how incredibly rude the receptionist was. So much for southern hospitality. When I paid and the machine asked if I wanted to tip there was no way that was happening. Not sure why that would even be an option. That needs to not be an option. A tip is for good service. She was flat out rude ! Still leaving a good review because the facility itself was full of and luckily we didn't encounter her the rest of the time there.“

“What a time! If you are looking to take date night or a girls night out to the next level, you should definitely go to Better Than Sex ASAP! We enjoyed the private seating and the curtained partition. The restaurant was very quiet and extremely intimate. We wanted to full experience and that's exactly what we received. The waitress was very helpful in setting the mood. We enjoyed the Fourgasm and Poundtown and we had several drinks to complement our desserts. This was quite an experience!“

“Great “experiential dining”! Go as a large group if you want to get the most out of your visit!“

“Such a cool spot! Lucky enough to have gotten in on a tour to see the entire distillery. Jordan is an excellent manager, Kristen holds it down and does a great job. I suggest getting the old fashioned and wings! Can’t wait to see the new spring menu!“

“It was our 20th anniversary and this was the last stop of the night. It was perfect, the ambiance, the drinks , the snacks . This place is amazing we will definitely be back and our waiter/owner Travis was super nice and attentive and very informative. Some of the downtown Greenville places need to pay attention . This is the way to treat your guests! We will definitely be back. P.S. make sure to check out the bathroom.“

“What a great find! Was taking a friend to the airport and we looked for a place to eat Sofrito popped up on Yelp! It looked interesting. What a great choice we made. They have a tequila list with all kinds of choices and various dishes from all over Latin America. There were so many choices that I'll have to go back again and again. Had the whole snapper. Next time it'll be the paella! Apparently it's family-owned and I prefer that to chain restaurants. Good service, good prices, good portions = overall excellent!“

“This place is cool. I love a good cigar and was happy to find this place open late on a Saturday night. The guy who runs the place is awesome. This is not a King Corona of Davidoff type of store. This is a small boutique cigar lounge that hits on all cylinders. They have a great selection of boutique cigars and great drinks. They have a friendly environment that is welcoming and "comfortable". I have enjoyed quite a few sticks in my day, but they had something I had not tried. I asked the owner for a mild, full flavor cigar and he suggested an El Septimo - Raphael. I have to admit, he hit it out of the park with the recommendation. For the experienced smoker, this is a gem. for those new to the joy of cigars, I can not think of a better place to learn. If you have ever even thought about a cigar, go here to find out all about them. I will be back every time I am in Greenville.“

“Truly in a class of their own. Incredibly knowledgeable crew and always willing to talk about the cocktail for those curious about learning more and understanding the nuances of their wonderful creations.Try a classic or a house cocktail. Don’t see something you fancy, chat with the bartender and they’ve always been happy to offer a suggestion or curate something for you.Don’t forget to get a bite to eat. The cocktails may be the main draw but the kitchen is also staffed with incredible talent.Definitely get a reservation if you plan on going after 6:30, it’s an intimate setting and seating is limited.“

“Great date night at an awesome spot right on Main Street in Downtown Greenville! The restaurant was way nicer on the inside than we expected and the service was as excellent as you would expect from a high end restaurant in your favorite down South honey hole! The menu was simple and diverse with very reasonable pricing. I thought it was a great value! Definitely worth a shot if you haven't been! Oh...and don't forget to splurge on the epic Ice Cream Sunday to share!“

“WHAT A FUN, UNIQUE PLACE!! We enjoyed our visit to this hidden speakeasy so much that we’ve decided to make it a regular stop before dinner any time we’re in Greenville. Three of us ordered Dealer’s Choice-you choose two adjectives to describe your drink and give the bartender freedom to be creative. We were amazed at what actually came out- & it’s different every time!! So fun!!! We also loved that it was a little hard to find & seemed closed until we opened the door. And the ambiance was perfect! They were not playing music so loudly that we couldn’t talk to each other.“

“Overall, I really do like this place. It's a chill place to sit and have a casual drink and conversation. Never been overly loud or rowdy. Parking is not the best but now that sidewall is gone, it's easier to park in the front lot. Service is really hit or miss. I've been when it's a super attentive and friendly bartender but also when it's... not. Full bar, good selection of craft beers, and a decent menu (but I've not eaten there yet). Several tvs. They do have outside seating but I'm pretty sure you can only have beer and wine out there.“

“My partner and I stopped here on the way home. We enjoyed the best burger, flatbread pizza, and drinks we've had in a long time. The bartender was great! She promptly greeted us, took our orders and got our drinks and food out to us expeditiously. It was around 1:30 pm on a Tuesday when we stopped. We sat high top in the bar area. There are booths and tables with chairs in the main dining area.The restrooms were very clean, well stocked and smelled like flowers (air freshener). Light weight doors and wide door frames made everything easy to access.We will definitely be recommending this place to others and stopping here again!Parking: Parallel parking on street“

“I came with my dad for the first time back in October. The environment was so fun and exciting and the people there are down to earth and friendly. I loved the dominos table and the culture this restaurant brings to Greenville. The food blew my family away. The portion size is huge and authentic. Great experience overall!“

“I was visiting from Wilmington NC and went to this place with friends for trivia night. I had so much fun. The food and drinks were great. The staff were very friendly, especially Tanya. Tanya was fantastic. I plan to make this part of my itinerary every time I come to Greenville. Great place!!!!!“

“The food and drinks were great. Atmosphere was very cool. I do wish there were more also food court style options in the castle itself vs just the bar and the restaurant. But it was so crowded when we went maybe I missed it. Overall still a 5/5 experience can’t wait for warmer weather and watching something fun on the projector outside!“

“Well, I love tacos. I have to be careful because I'm not sure if they have corn tacos or not and it's been several years since I've eaten there but when I did eat there, they're pork belly with the pickled watermelon rind was amazing..“

“The Flats is an unassuming looking bar from the outside but the inside has everything for a great neighborhood bar.The kitchen staff are putting out killer monthly specials. The bartenders and wait staff making you feel right at home. Loved it!“

“This was by far the best wine tasting experience we’ve had. The owner Ben did an amazing job of teaching us about all the wines we had and wines overall. He also kept us laughing and entertained. The bartender Bella is the absolute sweetest person. I highly recommend them for any kind of wine tasting, as well as a place to just chill out and have a good drink in a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back“

“Camp is an upscale, yet relaxed restaurant. There's patio seating (dog-friendly!) in addition to the main dining room floor. The menu is tapas-style, so expect small, yet filling dishes. Everything we ordered was super flavorful and was served to us as it was ready. The pace of the meal was perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed the creativity of the kitchen. The one note we had was that the fish dip was extra fishy tasting - even as someone who loves fish, it was overpowering, but that is just my take. Love the central downtown location!“

“We were helped by hostess Scout, she recommended some great food as we were at the brewery next door. The wings were great. the pretzel is amazing. Friends showed up and ordered an item they were not too fond of but scout immediately took care of the concern. Will definitely go back .“

“Fabulous neighborhood restaurant ! Classy but not snobby, relaxed but not sloppy. Good food even though the menu is not huge. Sure you can fund something though, and the Chef will accommodate!“

“Everything about the 07 was a solid "very good." Food, service and atmosphere. It was our first time trying it and we all enjoyed it. We just missed Happy Hour, but the deals weren't anything great. The menu is a bit unique and limited, so check it out before you decide to go. But definitely get the fried zucchini .“

“The 05 is a sweet spot and nice if you're trying to snag dinner off the beaten path of downtown. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Parking around 7pm was a little chaotic (we ended up parking across the street.) Restaurant was crowded, though we got lucky with some seats at the bar and we received excellent service by Nick/Nicolas! He was funny, attentive, and kind. We ordered the flatbread of the day as an appetizer and their classic crispy brussels sprout salads which are a go-to favorite! Overall, it was a great experience, excited to go back soon.“

“Wonderfull club sub. Food is the bomb“
