Had the most incredible time at Elsie's speakeasy for a recent date night. A friend recommended we…read moredo dinner at Kounter first and put our names on the list early for Elsie's. We were told two hour wait, but only ended up waiting about 45 min before we got the text. The experience was fun having to "sneak" through the fake door and into a fun, moody, and eclectic lounge room. The bartenders truly made the night - Harris is wonderful, fun, chatty, and made all our drinks on a whim with almost nothing straight from the menu. We would tell Harris the type of drink and strength, and he made the most incredible cocktails throughout our time there. Truly showed that he's a mixologist and not just a bartender. We so treated ourselves to the caviar and the dessert bites. Would only recommend that the chips be salt and vinegar as the dish was missing some flavor, but the dessert bites were incredible. Will absolutely return for another night soon!

Yoopers! Goodness gracious please don't judge me. I do have some southern blood. Goodness gracious what does this have to do with food? Well...... That's why I love this area. Foodwise.......don't be afraid to keep it simple. It's all about the food. When I asked the young lady what to get she did not hesitate. Club! Fantastic sandwich. Old school. The other choices will tempt me to come back. I was so pleasantly surprised in general with Chester and the hospitality. Downtown is certainly working on some things, but it's like looking spritely!

Cheap pool, nice country service…read more They didn't have any liquor, just beer, and just the large American macrobrews. The bartender was rugged, with a large, unkempt country beard and a look that either said he had a serious hangover or decades of experience with heavy drinking. We were supposed to smoke outside, but nobody stopped the table next to us from smoking. The practice tables were 75 cents/game, but they also had some regulation tables for more. My two companions both complained about the poor quality of pool stick, but I thought they were a lot straighter than most of the sticks found in bars. I wish they could offer liquor or a cider or something.

We haven't been to this place since it took over Legal Remedies...but we finally decided to check…read moreit out on a Friday night. Well, the place was packed! The entire place looked entirely different than how I remembered it (as Legal Remedies). Still very casual, but definitely more of an Irish pub vibe. I liked the Irish sports flags hanging from the ceilings...definitely added something fun to the ambiance. The menu has changed quite a bit too. I was bummed that they no longer had the Schnitzel, but they did have a tasty variety of items to choose from. My husband tried the Chicken Pot Pie, which looked good...and I had their Philly Cheesesteak. Well, I was surprised just how good my Cheesesteak was....beyond good, in fact. It was DEE-Lish!! I also enjoyed the drink, Monte Carlo. Small in size, but very, very strong! Service was good too. Despite how bustling it was, our cute waitress with green hair did a fine job. I actually didn't think I'd like the place at all...but their festive Irish vibe and the Philly Cheesesteak changed my mind!

We split the fish fry (as we were told it was huge- and it was!), cooked perfectly, nice breading, fries were very good and Cole slaw was good. We will definitely return.

This bar is located on the rooftop of probably one of, if not the nicest hotel in Rock Hill…read more Well...as expected, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The bar is split into this super-basic, blah area (inside bar), and the semi-patio/rooftop area, where they made some efforts to be fancy...alternating colors of flashing neons, heater lamps, and a fancy fire pit. Some of the couches looked super retro though...something you'd expect from the 1980's? Not quite metro...but a good attempt. I also don't understand why the patio/rooftop area is totally enclosed in (with open windows, yes, but enclosed). I just felt this could have been a much sleeker, much more open "skybar". Again, that super-basic inside area needed some work. It had absolutely zilch decor! My husband and I wondered why they spent so much effort into one half, but zilch on the other. Just weird. The bar service was really bad. We stood waiting to order our drinks for minutes on end...and it wasn't even all that crowded really. I got a Moscow Mule...in a basic drinking cup (not the typical Mule cup), with mostly ice...and ridiculously overpriced! I didn't even bother to snap a pic of that basic, overpriced drink. Guess I'm glad Rock Hill has a "skybar" of sorts now...but sadly, disappointing.
