Came to FR8yard for the first time on a Friday night and it was very packed. They had a live country band, and they were good, but the music wasn't my vibe. The overall crowd also wasn't very diverse, which made us feel out of place... The cheeseburger was good, but the ranch tasted sour and the fries were just okay. Service was mixed. One female employee came off rude and seemed annoyed when I asked questions, while a young male employee we interacted with was helpful. Probably won't be back. read more

What a great place to stumble upon! A cute beer garden with so much outdoor seating. The vibe is eclectic, even the bathrooms were so cute! Many beer choices on tap, the day I went was half off burgers and dogs. Looks like a great place to come any day! Service was great; bartenders let me taste when I couldn't decide. So refreshing to be outside having a beer after a long day of work. It was movie night when we went, looks like they have a lot of weekly activities! read more

FR8yard - Beer Gardens Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Great atmosphere. Fun outside games. We went on an open mic night. The performers were great. Food is yummy.

FR8yard is such a fun place! My husband and I spent almost 3 hours here for their Memorial Day party. They had Southside Smokehouse as a pop-up restaurant, and it was very yummy! The three sauces were flavorful - I especially liked the mustard sauce. My husband got a draft beer, and I got the Watermelon Man cocktail. I wish I could make this cocktail at home. It was SO good! Refreshing and light! It's always nice when you can't taste the alcohol too lol. The performing artist was also great - Clay Johnson! I loved all of his covers - very country folk. It was the best vibe! The service was quick, kind, and reliable too! read more

Met a friend here midday Sunday. Street parking was easy out front. Walk up ordering was easy, although food was a bit of a wait when not very busy. That was fine for us while we had our beer. I'd imagine waiting a while when there's a crowd. The Mocha Blonde Stout on tap was excellent. We loved the corn pups, pretzel (huge!), and tots. They have a huge projector screen with nice sound for sports games. Would go again! read more

I like the location, services overall and entertainment...what I do not understand is why they do not have a dance night on their menu of activities. It would be nice to get something going more festive than just country music, guitars........ This is a young city and people like to dance (even if it's with karaoke day on Sunday). Diversity guys! read more

I had a great time playing cards and listening to live music while I was here! I loved that they had ping pong available outside to play. The staff was nice and friendly! The food and beer were great! read more

What a cool place! After a concert at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, our group came here for drinks and a bite to eat. The shipping containers make up a bulk of the 'buildings" surround the pit area. There's a stage and there was a trio playing music. There's a large screen that was showing a hockey game. All interests were covered. It didn't hurt that it was a beautiful evening. I had a cocktail and my friends had beers. Prices were reasonable for the drinks and they had a big selection of beers and cocktails. They also had good food options. One friend got tater tots and their street meat (chicken on a stick) with BBQ sauce. Both of those looked good especially the chicken. I got a hot dog and it was really tasty too. Mine was the Hasselhoff but with a hot dog instead of the brat. It was delicious - kraut, spicy mustard, and beer cheese. YUM! My friend got their Reuben dawg and said it was good too. I'd definitely come back here for a beer and a bite! read more

Great local spot with music food and drinks a must visit for everyone. Dog friendly read more

This is fantastic place for food and fun. It's dog friendly and my dog met a new pal. I had a delicious pumpkin cider. Three of us split 4 items. Chicken skewers with large grilled chicken chunks and buffalo sauce, jalapeño flavored sauce and a bourbon maple sauce, all great. We then shared an order of corndog bites on a stick and the batter was something special maybe had some maple in there and some really good mustard to dip in. And then we got a huge pretzel with two sauces. And we tried some of the hummus, which was very good . wonderful staff multi use space and their prices are very reasonable. read more

Great outdoors venue for music, food, drinks and watching football and sports events! People are always awesome and it's incredibly dog friendly. They have wonderful heaters and fireplace equipment for colder nights. Highly recommend to enjoy your afternoons and evening! read more

Environment is great, food is fair, at best. Maybe eat your meal somewhere else and end the night here for drinks and entertainment.

My wife and I bought $100.00 VIP tickets to the OYSTER JAM for 09/25/2025. It was the WORST experiences we have had in a long time. The VIP bar only had about six (6) choices of liquor, NO light/white Rum, NO Bled Whiskey, they did have Beer?!? The food was just a lame we never saw any oysters or shrimp, we were able to find the warmers with potatoes? Our advise is DON'T go to the Fr8yard unless you want to be disappointed and have a BAD evening. This entire promotion was a JOKE! read more

Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy some beverages and food in the outdoors. The FR8yard always have great beer selections. The food isn't fancy but everything tastes amazing. Try the Smash burgers or the Hot Dogs with everything on it. There's big screen TVs to watch big time sporting events and some nights there is live music to enjoy. You gotta check it out for yourself! read more

Nice outdoor venue in downtown Spartanburg. Very casual. Picnic tables, gravel, and bring your dog casual. Open to the sun so it can get warm, but there are some umbrellas for shade. There's a stage for a band and a huge screen to watch the big game. Lines are long at peak times, and for us it took 50 mins to get a burger and sausage dog, but both were delish once they arrived. Great selection of beer, wine and liquor drinks. Friendly staff. Go and have some fun! read more

FR8yard was amazing! I've been there multiple times and every time the food was great, the music was nice, and the games were fun! The service was quicker than many restaurants I've personally seen as well! I also enjoyed the outdoor aspect, and the crates that make up the kitchen! It's aesthetically pleasing and has a rich history that I'll let you find out yourself! If you have time and you're going to a restaurant, make sure to try out FR8yard! read more

Great place if the weather is nice to hang out, drink a beer, catch a game or two and still remain outdoors. Fr8 is a Casual atmosphere with bench seating, outdoor dining only. Dog friendly (and there were lots of dogs there) and family friendly. This sit where you can and want, is a great place to let your children play or enjoy a friendly competition with your crew. There was corn hole, board games and other outdoor games to play to keep anyone not interested in the games busy. They do have outdoor heaters for the cold weather and fans for the heat. A good selection of beer and a standard selection of brat entrees. Everything is sold separately, but reasonably priced. The Carolina dog was a take on the Carolina classic dog except the chili is made with brisket and the dog is a beef sausage. If you mind a sausage instead of a regular beef hot dog, this is a winner. read more

Great place to watch a game or listen to a live band! I love their Pretzels! Rock on Fr8yard!

Best burger in town. Cant wait to enjoy the space more in the fall for football games in cooler weather.

Awesome Smash burgers and tots ! Great vibes and live music. Huge beer list to choose from.

Wow! What a cool space to hang out! The bride and groom rented the top space to hang out after the wedding. It was a nice little and private space that accommodates a good amount of people. I loved the chill vibe and the huge projector screen. What an awesome place to grab drinks and catch a game! I can see myself hanging out here more often. read more

Hot DOG! I ordered the smoked beef fr8nk carolina-style, which came with sauteed onions, coleslaw, mustard, and chili. I went without the slaw. I also ordered loaded fries. The hot dog itself would have been STELLAR on its own - the chili was just alright and the onions were ok. Similarly, the fries could stand on its own, the addition of the blah chili took away from the experience in my opinion - which is why I rated this dining experience as a four, also it was a bit expensive, my order came up to about $18. However, it was quite filling. The ambience is pretty cool and something Spartanburg's been missing. The neon signs, HUGE big screen tvs, firepits and stage lend itself to a cool, hip vibe. read more

I have always loved it here. Such great outdoor vibes and good music. But, on this most recent trip, I saw sexism like I have never observed before. The line was absurdly long, and I waited in it with some friends but did not want to cut off others and, when my friend asked for a drink, I obliged. I would just get two of what I wanted. But no, "We cannot do that" was the response when I asked for two. That's policy! I understand. I have worked food & bev, and I am not Karen. I walked away, following their rules. Only to watch several of my male friends walk away from the bar with numerous drinks in tow. The staff would not allow me to obtain more beverages for myself and my friend, both of us being 22. The problem is that these men walked up with only 1 ID, theirs. I watched several women all realize this reality at the same time. I am very disappointed in this fact and frustrated that this is what one of my favorite local spots participated in. Systemic patriarchy exhibitions like this one are what is wrong with our country today. Fade FR8. read more

FR8yard - Closed - Beer Gardens Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I got food poisoning, which is too bad because it tasted good. Carolina Classic Dog was good.

BEWARE! Awesome place great drinks and music. But please beware of the top area being reserved for birthday. The bar tender and another lady are both in on this. They have a lot of open tables when fr8yard is full. And they say you can stay up there if you buy a the birthday girl a shot. "No problem" ya right they charge your card for 5-8 shots for all there friends. Dispute the charge if this happen to you. The management should not allow that. But the bar tender was definitely part of it because when she got my card she was laughing cuz she knew she was going to charge the card for all the friends drink. What a scam! Shame on you fr8yard! read more

FR8yard is one of the coolest spots that I've ever been. It is an outdoor beer garden that is the absolute perfect place to watch a game. The reason that it has taken me so long to write this review is because I associate UNC losing in the NCAA tournament in 2018 with this place. I happened to be here when I watched the game. That may be what took it from 5 to 4 stars for me. In all seriousness though, FR8yard is a really unique and fun place. It is a great place to grab a few beers with friends after work, come for a casual dinner, or come watch a sporting event. It is even kid friendly, and they have a small putt putt course to keep the kids entertained. They have a big projector screen and great sound to go along with it. There is seating above on a little balcony setup. Most of the seating is long picnic tables set up in front of the projector screen. The food here is very good as well. I ordered a Chicago style brat and fries. All of the food was exactly what you would want and expect from a place like this. They also have a good beer selection, with a number of craft beers on tap. The only problem with this place lies with the service. Maybe they have worked out some of the kinks since I was there, but the bartenders and employees are just extremely disorganized and unapologetic about it. If I was coming through Spartanburg again, I would absolutely stop in to FR8yard with hopes that the service had improved. The cool atmosphere is worth putting up with the lack of service though. read more

Love the space! Not sold on the gravel rocks that the FR8 Yard uses for their floor. Dancing to the great music that they offer nightly difficult with that large gravel rock base. Love the food and would recommend this place to anyone as their first stop. Great Big giant screen for sporting events and an upper deck viewing area with seating makes it a really fun place to hangout. A Ping pong table, corn hole boards, and Jenga offer you a variety of entertainment options. There is rumor that they will be putting a roof up with skylights but open on both ends. This will keep the heat in more but protection from the rain and elements while still giving you sunlight. Looking forward to this happening. This is a must visit for sure... read more

A great addition to downtown Spartanburg. The thing I love most about FR8yard is the casual, quirky outdoor atmosphere defined by the venue's bar made of shipping containers, live music almost daily and wide selection of craft beers. The food options are limited but what they do have is quite good! My favorites are the GR8 Grilled Cheese with Tomato & Bacon and the Chili Cheese Fries. Busy on weekends but all the best places are! The staff has done a great job adjusting to the crowds by improving the ordering process and adding pagers for food orders. read more

I enjoyed my brat, beers, and fries, but I don't like sausages enough to want to come back here much. If I was 22 again and wanted to pound beers outside with my friends I guess I would come. Being outside is the best part of this place. BUT, I will say the sauerkraut and beer cheese brat I had was pretty good. I would probably go back and get the burger next time. read more

FR8yard gets pretty busy, and things get missed. It happens. How it's taken care of separates the good from the not. The manager Ryan went way above and beyond to make sure a customer was happy. He is an absolute gem in todays service industry. The atmosphere is why we go, great service is why we come back! read more

Today is my first time to Spartanburg's Main Street outdoor beer garden. FR8yard are doing a lot of things right! They have a huge big screen TV and also a couple more not quite as big, great set up for watching the games. Also, they have plenty of gas heaters and wood burning kettles for those chilly days and nights. They are child and pet friendly - with water bowls for the fur babies, and ping pong and corn hole for the kids. There is also a miniature golf course right beside if the kids wanted to play, you could keep your eye on them - no problem. They offer a simple limited food menu - I tried their brat and it was delicious (the fresh air and the smell of wood burning made me think of food!). They have a stage for entertainment as well. They have an open upper deck that can be rented for birthday parties or whatever. This is a great idea and a great spot for hanging out with friends, watching the games, supporting local music, or just enjoying downtown and people watching. read more

Cool atmosphere and great vibe. Food is simple and delicious focusing on street style food. The street meat was amazing. The order system is confusing with someone yelling your number over the crowd and music. No way of seeing your number up so if you aren't near the pick up window you are out of luck. Love the fire pits and community style seating. Great place to chill as long as it isn't raining. The no smoking makes this much cooler for bringing kids. read more
