    Bloody Mary

    You must check Hemingway's out! It tucked in under ground. The food selection is small but everything I have ordered was delicious All the bartenders are quick with service Pet friendly

    Chicken Cesar Wrap

    This place reminds me a lot of No Name Pub in the Florida keys where we just moved from. It's a super secret hidden dive bar/bistro. It's dark, it's small, the roofs are low, and it's in a basement on the waterfront. Totally captures the dive bar vibe. The service was fantastic. You need to order at the bar and take a number to your table. Be patient if they are busy, they are doing their best. Wife got the grilled chicken Cesar wrap and I got a club sandwich. Both were wonderful. The grilled chicken was warm and full of flavor in every bite. The club was made to order and perfect. Their drinks are top notch too. We will be back. :) if you are wondering around Bay Street and all the restaurants are full, try and find this hidden gem. You will not be disappointed!

    Best Dive Bar!! There is an art to creating the whole Dive Bar experience. Enter here from the alley to the back basement, low ceiling with small cozy inside and spacious outside options. Dollars tacked to the ceiling beams, hand-lettered signs tacked up randomly and best of all a Great Bartender with an attitude. I had driven into town late on a Monday and was fortunate to find Hemingways and some very good whisky -- Maker's Mark hit the spot along with a bag of chips -- I'm easy. Bartender Zoe was straight up about some of the signs (see my photos), helpful about parking for the next 2 days, and can chat effortlessly with all of us. The dollars tacked everywhere were reminiscent of KeyWest and Memphis dive bars and the late hours fill a void. I look forward to returning.

    OK something just doesn't fit. In an area of snazzy eateries, we found this cozy, basement bar. We wandered over and headed into this dark, funky bar that felt like a haunted basement. Kind of smelled that way too. The small space was filled with tons of character and dark kitch. Think Hansel & Gretle and the witch's cottage. We ordered drinks from the no nonsense bartender and sat outside. The lower level type location allows the patio to face a small parking lot and half wall. We joined a couple at the couch area and enjoyed our perfectly crafted cocktails . They were so much fun to chat with. They packed up and moved to the area from Rhode Island and love it. They are now regulars at Hemingway's. We only had cocktails but I did see people eating. It looked a delicious casual pub food. We were also told they sometimes have live music in the small parking lot. Who knows, I might check it out again the next time I'm in town.

    Love this bar--local hang out, decent beer selection, great liquor selection. I love the theme and old look of bar. Music on some days. We haven't tried the food yet just hang out.

    Cool little dive bar located at the waterfront. Staff is welcoming and friendly. We heard about the amazing Bloody Mary's they serve and stopped by to try. Unfortunately, we were highly disappointed. It was blahhh, lacking in quality and flavor and the olives/pepperoni taste old and stale.

    So if you are traveling by way of boat like us and end up in Beaufort, SC near Bay Street, make sure to stop in at this little hidden gem. The food was great, decor is a bohemian vibe, and the drinks were cold and served with a smile. This place is dog friendly as well and has a nice patio area to sit. We were able to enjoy some local music later that night as well. This will be a definite place to visit on our next stop in Beaufort!

    Watermelon gazpacho (cold) soup was excellent

    On a Tuesday not crowded but is no indication of the food quality. We ordered everything from hotdogs to daily specials, party of five. Good service, good food, really cold beer and the ac was at the perfect setting on a 95 degree day. Very comfortable and not a " stuffy " place to relax.

    The most interesting Bloody Mary you'll ever encounter!

    We decided to take a chance and dine at this establishment and we're not disappointed. Very casual…read moreatmosphere for food that is upscale. I had the shrimp and linguini. The sauce was excellent, the shrimp some of the most moist and flavorful I've ever eaten. My hubby had the tomato basil bisque and was very satisfied. The highlight was my friend's fried flounder. OMG. Perfection. Crispy, well flavored and perfectly prepared. Our server was Lelia and she was exceptional. Attentive, patient and she knows the menu. She was a true dear and made the dining experience one of our best.

    My husband and I went to Wren our first of 3 nights in town. We got reservations earlier that day…read more We were seating at a table where the sun was right in our face for the first 15 minutes and there were other tables out of the sun that were available. I ordered the Mahi which was really good. My husband got the pecan chicken. It was the first pecan chicken either of us had ever eaten that had cumin in it. My husband gave me a bite & it was so strong, I knew immediately what spice it was. NOT a good match with pecan chicken. Our waitress told us the desserts & my husband chose the chocolate cheesecake and I chose the lemon dessert I had seen pictures of here on Yelp with raspberry sauce. I mentioned that & she informed me that they didn't have the raspberry sauce tonight for some reason. Well, 10 minutes later, she brought out my husband's dessert and said the didn't have the lemon dessert tonight. That is something the servers should be told at the beginning of the evening!

    We got the opportunity to visit Beaufort, SC and while we were here we dined at the restaurant here…read moreat the hotel we were staying. The food was amazing! We ordered a Barefoot Moscato, Fish N Chips, Fried Fish Basket and a Shrimp Quesadillas . The Fish N Chips were light with a golden touch that was very flavorful with a batch of the most mouthwatering chips! The shrimp was made to perfection and simply delicious. Omg, the Shrimp Quesadillas were filled with Sautéed peppers, onions along with a blend of cheeses. The meal was amazing! Customer service was on point and perfect. Our server Katie was fantastic. She was very polite and professional making sure that our meal was the best. The ambiance was very lit, clean and beautiful. I highly recommend visiting this location for a great meal and service if you're here in Beaufort. Ohhh, let me not forget this drink called Tequila Sunrise. This was a very fruitful vibrant splash of happy times in a glass!! This drink was so good I was loving it. Great way to end a fun filled evening!'

    I visited The Albergotti Grill several times during my stay at the Holiday Inn in Beaufort, South…read moreCarolina. I was in town working the Grand Opening for a local grocery store. My bartender name is, Ashley. She offered sincere conversation, great customer service and above all ahe makes a "Mean" drink. The bar had drink specials nighly. To my surprise one of my favorite drinks (Crown Royal) became a special cocktail during my stay. My entire stay at the hotel was successful because of the customer service that I received from the front desk attendant KaDemia, and the best bartender, Ashley! I only dined in a few times and the chicken wings were delicious. The cook will fry them hard on request!
