Rafters is the upstairs portion of the new Hamptons location! It's in the newly remodeled. Take the stairs on the right side of the building. Loads of seating and the bar looks great. Backlit to highlight the marble just sets the tone. Great place for Appetizers and Crudités along with a great assortments of beers. Had the pimento cheese dish with a wheat beer. Wonderful pairing and perfect for an evening beginner! Highly recommend!

The service and ambiance are great. We especially loved the large illuminated bar top!

Main Street Tavern is one of the best spots in Sumter! From the moment you walk in, you feel like a…read moreregular. The bartenders are incredibly friendly and possess the perfect blend of professionalism and personality that makes the whole experience memorable. The food here is fantastic! The wings are absolutely phenomenal. They're perfectly cooked with a great variety of flavors to choose from. The pizza is outstanding with that delicious thin crust that hits the spot every time. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but those wings and pizzas are must-tries! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with a great local vibe. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day, catch up with friends, or enjoy some quality bar food and cold craft beer. They offer an impressive beer selection, featuring over 75 different domestic and craft options. One of the things I really appreciate is that it's a smoke-free bar, which makes for a much more comfortable environment. The prices are very fair, and the service is always professional and attentive. Whether you're a local or just passing through Sumter, Main Street Tavern is definitely worth a visit. Great food, great drinks, great people. What more could you ask for?

Tavern on Main is one of the few bars in Sumter that you do not need to be a "member" of. There is…read moreno smoking inside which is nice, and they have a good selection of beers. On the weekends it is moderately crowded with people playing pool and the games the have in bar. Truth or Dare Jenga is always fun. :) The only issue I have with the bar is the perceived cleanliness level. I am sure it is clean, but they have gross old couches in the front area and it always smells a little bit like a restroom. Good place to grab a drink or two after dinner.

I love Jimmy's because the people are great. It's so easy to make friends here, even if you are the…read moreshyest person. The bartenders and karaoke djs are great. Oh, and it has karaoke FOUR nights a week! It also has darts, pool, and an old style arcade game. Jimmy's looks a little rough on the outside because of poor lighting, but looks can be deceiving. It is members only but it's easy to become a member. Peak hours are a bit unpredictable. Even on a Friday night, sometimes it's really busy and sometimes it is slow. Sometimes it's busy on a Tuesday. You just never know so if it's too slow or too crowded the first time you show up, try again.

Jimmy's is a great local bar with friendly staff and patrons. The service is quick and the bar is…read moreusually decently clean. They often have home cooked food out and welcome anyone to eat what they would like. Patrons also bring snacks to give to the bar which are given to guest free of charge when available at request. Karaoke with Ernie is absolutely the best. Other KDJs do karaoke on some nights and also do a good job, but nothing beats Ernie. Jimmy's is a melting pot of people and everyone is welcomed equally. You will find a wide range of ages of all types of beliefs and backgrounds having a great time together. Whether it is throwing darts, shooting pool, singing karaoke, or drinking cold beer at the bar. The only cons would be the lighting is poor at night and it does get very smokey. It is easy to overlook that, but it is something to consider if you have poor eyesight or breathing difficulties.

We made reservations and celebrated our daughter's 25th birthday on Saturday night. The music was…read morelively and I really enjoyed it with the dimmed lights. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and made sure our drinks stayed full. All the food we had was yummy and came out piping hot. My daughter ordered the Togarashi Crusted Carolina Grouper which she said was delicious. I had the Grilled Colorado Lamb Rack, which was also very tasty and my husband ordered the Calabrese pizza, which I tried and was very good too. We really enjoy this place and typically come for brunch on Sunday's and this was our first time having dinner there, we will return. Also not pictured, we had the calamari (8/10), artichoke dip (8.3/10) and bread basket (6.5/10). Only complaint, I hated sitting near the bathroom and I expected more lamb on my plate for the price but overall, I give everything an 8/10.

We came for an early lunch and were the only customers. We were greeted by the staff and felt…read morewelcome. The restaurant was modern, clean well and very pleasant. We struggled with one of the chairs that was missing a glide and rocked terribly. The host just looked on. We ordered a chicken parmesan panini sandwich and the chicken green curry bowl. The chicken panini had potential. It included chicken, roasted tomatoes, ham, arugula and cheese. It would have been great but the grilled focaccia was a little tough to eat- chewy. It came with a side of House made chipotle chips that were very tasty. The chicken green curry was a pretty plate of food. It tasted great though the curry sauce could have been warmer. It was served with a mango coleslaw (more like a salsa) over coconut rice. It may have been the best tasting item that I've eaten in a restaurant in months.
