    I appreciate the venue being available for a variety of acts. They have applied the bare minimum to the venue and ambiance though. It's essentially a big lot with little grace. No tents/shade, porta-potties, & buggy. There is such potential to make this a venue with thought. If you go remember your sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, lawn chairs, & blanket. I have never had food here but had a spicy margaritas. It was ok but tasted light and sweet instead of spicy. They have NA options as well. The bar tender was rude when I asked for salt (twice).

    This is a nice distillery. They have plenty of outdoor space and inside is large too. They have a store in the front entrance. Also, they have food trucks, and when we came, there was a craft show with vendor tents. In the back area, I ordered the apple strudel drink, which was delicious. It tasted like a liquidfied apple strudel. My 2nd drink was so so. It was the Firefly Old Fashioned. It was wayyyyyy to heavy on the whiskey. It's definitely worth visiting, though.

    I've frequented firefly before but never done the liquor tasting! I enjoyed my time learning about liquor of the distillery with great details from my guide ! She was knowledgeable and fun! Some of the liquor I didn't like and she was able to substitute for better flavors . The pina colada slushie was good! Lots of room inside and out! Definitely will be back soon.

    My coworker recommended I check out Firefly Distillery, and it was a great recommendation! I've never been to a distillery before, so seeing the process was very cool. My friends and I did the tasting event, where we tried different samples of the liquor they sell. Most of it was very strong, with samples including different moonshine, vodka, and whiskey flavors! My favorite was the Firefly sweet tea whiskey, which was easy to drink for me since I like sweeter drinks. The experience itself was very fun, and the host of the event did a great job keeping us entertained while explaining the background of each drink sample to us. The tasting event itself is like a big group event, so you will be in a room with other people, but you'll still have your separate sections per group. After the tasting event, we tried the cocktails at the bar and they were very delicious and strong! Luckily they have an outdoor area, and at the time we were outside there also was live music. We sat around until we were good to drive back, drink responsibly because the liquor was very strong!! Overall, the experience was fun and I'd recommend trying it out if you're visiting the Charleston area!

    Great venue. Space for everyone. It's a place you can feel safe at going to, during and from. Parking is limited. But there are places along the road if you don't get there early enough to park on their free lot. Now the businesses that surround the distillery charge to park. And it's PRICEY! Concert ticket prices... $60 to park is a lot so come early... Get some parking. Grab some grub and settle in for a good time with gii eats and drinks. If you're lucky you'll catch a breeze coming off the creek! Very handicapped friendly to boot!

    The Firefly Distillery is an amazing venue!! Seeing outdoor concerts is always amazing! The food trucks had gluten free options. :) Everyone always has a good time! The stage and the background visuals are always amazing! The staff is very accommodating and greets you with a smile. There are many gluten free beverages too. :)

    This is an amazing space!! There is a beautiful outdoor area where you can sit and enjoy drinks. There's a lawn that is also used for events like concerts. My husband and I came for a tasting, but it was full, so we just had a cocktail instead. The park circle punch was delicious. It had fruit punch and coconut moonshine in it. It was perfectly fruity. My husband also liked his drink as well. There is a lot to see here and there's also a really nice gift shop. Everyone we talked to here was so friendly. We got to talking to the women at the gift shop who also happened to be teachers like my husband and I. Overall I highly recommend checking this place out!

    Firefly Distillery is a ball of fun! My coworkers and I did a ladies night several months ago and had the best time sampling vodkas, moonshine, and whiskey. There's a great storefront as well plus plenty of spirits in stock to get some to-go or gift for others. I love the field area as well, during the summer they host concerts and festivals. The tasting is a superb group bonding activity plus there's a bar area too if you want to enjoy a drink in a lowkey atmosphere. Through the Explore CHS Advent calendar, had to share this nugget of info! Get $10 off a Firefly tasting of six of our spirits with promo code ADVENT. Tastings are held every half hour on Monday-Friday from 12:00pm - 5:00pm and can be booked on our website using the promo code ADVENT. Promo code is valid until 12/31/23.

    Go now and do the tasting! My husband and I have never been to a tasting where we liked EVERYTHING! We got two tastings and therefore tried everything offered. If you buy 6 bottles, you also get a discount. So of course we bought six. Went on a Saturday and the food truck + live music was a big plus. Would have loved to have tried the cocktails as they sounded ah-mazing but we were feeling a bit too buzzed to give them a go.

    This place has a lot of cool activities so make sure to check their schedule if you're really wanting a cool experience. We just went to pass time, not knowing about their vast event calendar. Such a cool place. Very clean. All the staff is super friendly. We did a taste tour, which I highly recommend. We ran out've time to stay for drinks but will definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Sweet Tea and Lemonade Vodka
    Alex B.

    Took a trip to Firefly on a down day in Charleston. Beautiful distillery, nice atmosphere, large merchandise area, Numerous choices to try during tasting. My favorite was Sweet Tea, and Lemonade Vodka. When in the Charleston area, take some time away and visit Firefly you won't be disappointed.

    Mel W.

    Enjoyed the tasting which includes 6 pours of assorted whiskey, moonshine or vodkas. The tour guide was friendly and the price per tasting $13.00 per person. The interior includes many liquors for sale along with merchandise like honey, jam, soaps, shirts ect. Great place to bring locals or out of town guests.

    $22-30 per bottle

    I'm an amputate so I would love to bring a lawn chair to the venue to see Willie Nelson. Standing up for an hour and a half will be nearly impossible?

    Can you purchase tickets at the door for sat. Night shows?

    Right now they aren't doing tours they are doing tastings. It's by sections so they gather just enough limited groups and do a tasting all cups are plastic disposable and social distanced. Can still go to tasting room and can buy stuff. Tastings are… Read more

The event popped up in January and I booked immediately, wanting to have a pocket Valentine's Day surprise. We arrived at our appointed time of 2pm, last available, and the gravel parking lot had plenty of spaces for us. I bet at night it can get packed, they have a local-bar vibe. We went in and followed the signs to the back. There is table seating as well as bar seating, and a nice dark wood funky vibe. Classic rock was playing not too loudly, and it seemed like they were running a staff meeting in the back so we couldn't do a tour. No problem, maybe next time. Our bartender welcomed us and offered table or bar seating, and of course we chose bar. There were several beer taps in the wall, with interesting-sounding names and descriptions that will have to be further explored at a future visit. We were here first and foremost for the tasting and pairing. Our guy gave us the list of the pairings, which was opposite order from the order they were served which was opposite the direction they were intended to be consumed. I enjoyed the chaos and we started with the house gin, featuring lavender and doing an incredibly herbaceous dance with the floral white chocolate. Nice pairing. Hubby is not a gin drinker and found it very floral and astringent. I bought a bottle. The next was the house spiced rum with a pineapple chocolate that was far superior to any Captain or Admiral. Spicy and smooth, a lovely slow sipping rum, or mix it up in a tiki drink or daiquiri. We picked up a bottle. Next, the bourbon. Hubs was not thrilled with their bourbon. He found it had a very acetone hit and while it was not objectionable, it would not be his choice. He is a bourbon connoisseur. I am not. I don't care for bourbon, but this was far smoother, less woody than expected. The dark chocolate would match with anything, really. Last, the rye whiskey. If I like anything less than bourbon, it's rye. But this one was surpringly drinkable, and I could see myself drinking it again. Hubby again picked up that acetone note that put him off the bourbon too. I don't know enough to define it. But tastes vary. We had fun and he wants to do more like this, so that's a W for the event, thanks for making it a fun Valentine's Day surprise! They sold me two bottles and I really like that gin so that's their W. The rest is for consideration. Gotta give em the full 5 stars. Keep your nose to the grindstone, Piggies, you've got a good thing going!

Hardscoop Distellery has a physical location on Clements Ferry Rd., but their ice cream is sold at liquor stores and Harris Teeter. I recently attended a tasting, where I tried the ice cream and learned more about it- and I've since become a fan and customer. Not only is Hardscoop made locally, but they also use local products. The price is very reasonable for the quality of ingredients as well as the alcohol content. A container of Hardscoop is cheaper than one fancy cocktail, and you can eat the whole container in your pajamas while binge-watching Netflix on the couch, with no judgement. Win win. Hardscoop regularly sells vanilla, chocolate, and coffee ice creams, but also offers seasonal flavors like peach sorbet. I tried each flavor, and the chocolate is hands-down my favorite. These ice creams are 16 proof, except the peach sorbet which is 21 proof. Needless to say, it packs a punch, so keep it away from the kiddos (or the lightweights). I can't wait to try some of the seasonal flavors. Rumor has it there will be a pumpkin spice flavor at the end of September, too.

The winery has a large property with plenty of space to explore, including what appears to be a small farm with chickens and pigs. On a warm day, the outdoor seating areas with games would likely make for a lovely experience. However, when it came to the wine tasting, the samples were served in plastic cups, which some may actually prefer. But for us, it took away from the overall experience. And most importantly, the wines themselves just didn't impress our palates. We tried a variety of their offerings, but nothing really stood out or compelled us to purchase a bottle to take home. It's a shame, because the setting is really quite nice. But at the end of the day, the wine is the most important factor, and this winery missed the mark for us on that front. If you're in the area and want to spend some time outdoors in a charming environment, it could still be worth a visit. But I wouldn't go out of your way, especially if you're a serious wine enthusiast.
