We had a really great time here. We sat at the bar and were greeted promptly. The food was so good. The onion rings with that hot honey mustard was the perfect start. The burgers were cooked perfectly and had so much flavor in the meat. All the beer we tried were delicious. The spot itself is huge and seems like a great place to just hang out. We would definitely come back for sure! read more

Seminar shares space with Elliot's bbq, and either or both are definitely worth your time. The space is roomy and comfortable, and servers are prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Beers span a range from IPAs to more malty offerings and everything we tasted was fresh (and cold). I'm not sure what the arrangement with Elliot's is, but that's some great Carolina Q. Shredded pork tender and juicy, baby backs more delicate and savory, and the house sauce is a great example of Carolina vinegar, not too sweet and just spicy enough. We found a very relaxed, fun vibe, great beer and great Carolina pork BBQ. Head on down! read more

Elliot's at Seminar was fantastic. Loved the Pixels IPA. The service was quick and friendly. Nice space with comfortable seating. I had the pork nachos & the beer cheese was killer. My husband had the pork sandwich which must have had a pound of meat & the butter beans. Saw touches of Buxton Hall still present. Great stop for lunch or dinner if in Florence! read more

Traveling Retirees on the road again. Not to get too wordy but great service and great beers and that was before the food we ordered came. We will come to Seminar Brewing any day of the week. Here on Sunday and so it is low key but with great family vibe. Haley and Noah were fantastic representatives of a great product. read more

Had smoked wings they were too Smokey for me. They are cooked good and the sauce was tasty. We had a large party and got a $200 charcuterie that was not worth $200. Beers were good. The server was very attentive to us read more

Go for the beer, not the bbq. Good selection of beers. One of the few breweries with a variety of styles. The bbq on the other hand is horrible, looks like something out of the middle school cafeteria. And be ready to wait, the service is slow, even if they aren't busy. read more

Nice brewery with a great bar and food. They were very welcoming. We had a flight of the beer they brew and they were all very good. We had their ribs and collard greens yummy. read more

Oh yeah some of the best beer around found this place on a trip just passing through. on a 10th scale. It's a 10. Also the food there is top's. Family, friendly, terrific atmosphere everybody's happy when you're here you're at home. read more

We were traveling thru Florence, and decided to stop for some local BBQ. Were actually headed to another place that was highly rated on Yelp when we passed Elliott's at Seminar Brewing. Glad we made a U-turn and stopped. Fantastic food and BBQ! Very moist pulled pork with a great taste of smoke. The sauce really complimented the pork. I opted for the baked beans and potato salad, while my wife went with the potato salad and green beans. She only ate 1/2 the green beans because I stole the other half. All the sides were great, but the green beans may have been the best I've ever had, crispy with a smoky flavor. I do wish we were local to Florence to go on a Rib night, or when Elliott is smoking whole hogs. I'm sure Elliott's will be a hit with the locals, but it is close enough to I-95 to make it an easy stop for anyone passing through Florence. We will be back!! read more

Call before you go, their website does not stay updated. We walked in after having driven for a couple of hours, they said they were closing early and turned us away. Interestingly there were lots of People in there. read more

In honesty, we originally stopped at a brewery nearby, but while waiting to order got super negative vibes from the staff & decided to leave...best decision ever because our experience at Seminar was fantastic; a gem of a find along our long road trip. Arriving at 9:30pm (easy parking in their own on-site lot)-when they closed at 10pm- we nicely asked first did they mind us popping in so late for a brew & we were immediately greeted by the friendliest staff; not only telling us come on in, but offering samples & recommendations. Having had Pixels IPA before & rating 4stars, we were excited to try their other ample IPA varieties & opted for a flight (4brews 5oz $11). Megapixels 3star creamy clean citra Sobbing Mathematically 5star juicy hop forward, American that tastes hazy Citocity 5star fruity malty delicious combo Vanilla the Hun 5star didn't expect to like-let my husband chose a brew-but was damn creamy roasty, dark chocolate Blockhead 5star tropical hazy, light clouds creamy (they also offer half-pints $5-6 in lieu of full pints $7-8) While we just hung out at the bar, the space had a lot of offer including bar games, recreational games (pool, axe throwing, small arcade section), and food Amazing ambiance-patient, knowledgeable, welcoming staff- with amazing brews-very much wish we lived closer to be regulars-highly recommend read more

I wish it hadn't been rainy/raining when I stopped in. The interior is huge with plenty of seating and room to move around. They have live music and axe throwing. The food options are varied, but I can't speak to the quality. They don't allow dogs inside because they serve food, so I couldn't stay to sample their beers. There is a very large outside beer garden where pets are allowed. It looks like a great place to hang out on nicer days. Service was very friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient, close to hotels if you're traveling, and not far from I-95 or I-20. I took cans of the Citrocity back to my hotel and was generally impressed. The tap list looked very interesting, I wish I could have stayed to sample more. All-in-all, this place is a recommended read more

Great food, excellent service, a must stop if in the area. Family friendly. Nice selection of beer.

What an awesome place. Great food and great beer. Plenty of inside and outside seating. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. We had the smoked wings, and a side of collards and fries. read more

I'm really want this place to work. Seminar has struggled with consistency and I am hopeful the new ownership and addition of Elliot's will help. What they need now is management. The food is great, people are nice but no one has a clue what is going on and have trouble when it's busy. read more

Wonderful service, food is wonderfully! I have never had a bad experience here best in Florence

Excellent service, excellent beverages, excellent food!!! You will not find anything else like this in Florence, South Carolina or the surrounding area read more

The food was good. The cole slaw could be better. A lot less mayonnaise would be better. My burger was perfect. The kitchen was very accommodating to my vegetarian wife. The beer selection and the atmosphere was excellent. The staff are excited about offering table service and the grand opening. We will give it another visit in 6 months. By then the new owner should have everyone in a nice cadence. Great renovation too. read more

Stopped by here just to grab a quick drink on a Tuesday. In my opinion, I really liked the place. Their menu had some pretty well rated beer. Its a pretty spacious brewery with a couple of other games and recreational things inside like pool, axe throwing, and a small arcade section. I didn't try any of the food, but what looked like came out for some people seemed good. Overall, a great place to stop by and try out. Very spacious and a calm environment. read more

Seminar Brewing - a man sitting at a table - Breweries Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

My small group has been eating at Elliot's BBQ Lounge inside Seminar Brewing almost every Saturday night for over a year now. There is no other place I would rather eat at! "The Trinity" is one of my favorite meals from there. Who doesn't love BBQ, Ribs, and smoked jalapeno-cheese stuffed sausage on one plate WITH two sides? Even if you are not a BBQ fan (I know there are a few of you out there), the double mushroom Swiss burger is absolutely divine. Service is top-notch in a friendly environment. Elliot is a down-to-earth good guy who I truly believe loves watching people enjoy his food and having a good night at the brewery. I plan on supporting Elliot as much as possible, as he has gone above and beyond for my group. read more

Great Food. Selection was good. Taste was excellent. Service spot on. Thank you.

The beer is ok. Food is over priced. But more than anything the issue with this place is their unpredictable hours. I've gone in (having driven a good ways after work to get there) only to be turned away because of private parties. Both times A) I was not the only one turned away miffed B) management seemed confused about why this might actually be off putting to customers. Decide what you want to be, guys read more

Seminar Brewing is a great place to try new beers and have delicious pizza. The wait staff is very kind and patient and knowledgeable. The bathrooms are clean. I always enjoy our visits to Seminar Brewing. read more

Headline: First time for everything My girlfriend and I did the chocolate and beer tasting. This was the very first time Seminar brewery has done this. We were the test subjects. So here's the thing...those who ran it couldn't predict our taste buds, right? Ie all the things that were expected at this event..happened. The minor critique here is that the pairings didn't quite go well with the chocolates. There was literally one: a white chocolate bon that paired best with a sour beer. I do hope that seminar and chocobella keep doing more of these events. read more

My 100% absolute favorite place for beer and a meal. Elliott has brought a menu that is 2nd to none. Smoked everything is a definite must. Whether it's wings, ribs or brisket. Everything that comes out of the kitchen or smokehouse is delicious. They are redecorating so the atmosphere is going in the right direction. The beer is so very good. As an IPA man, Citrocity and Pixels are a must. You can't go wrong by making this your place to eat and drink. read more

This gem was my first stop on my SC beer hop. They have a lot of interesting infused craft beers, a few you can walk out with a 6pk of if you don't have a growler. Found a few that I enjoyed. The bar menu didn't do much, it's really a drinking spot. I really like that you can see them brew in action. Go for a flight so that you can let your taste buds experience all to offer. This is a big open space with a few games as well. Great hang out spot, and even better event space. read more

Super cute and a nice wild selection of brews. Really kind and welcoming servers and environment. Cool spot. Will return.

Went on a Tuesday evening at 8:15 and was told they had stop serving food. First of all a bar closing at 9:00 is crazy and second off if your serving times are not the same nightly people will not come back read more

Super fun at osphere, and food people! We all had appetizers and drinks and were not let down at all! I would drive an hour to Florence just to come here! read more

Florence has great brewery here serving good beer and food. The building is huge, very open with tall pub tables, a few picnic tables, and the large bar. Then the brewery is right there in the open, the night I visited they were canning up beer. I love breweries cause beer can be so different, and amazing. Nothing better than local beer. The beer menu was broad with ales, saisons, IPAs and some stouts. But the Howler was my favorite, a red ale that was rich, smooth, and low bitterness. Loved it! Add the food menu and Seminar offers a fun place to meet your friends, or coworkers to enjoy local brew and food. Friendly service, great atmosphere, everything to enjoy your brew. read more

I really enjoyed just coming here on a Friday night! The food was really good and I can definitely see regulars that come here. The place is HUGE and spread out which threw me off. I wasn't sure what I was expecting. They have axe throwing and pool. The beers on tap were great! The bar tenders were super nice and approachable! read more

Seminar Brewing - Pimento cheese burger with the Gouda bites - Breweries Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

My family and I stopped in for a beer and axe throwing. We did not throw axes because the $20 per hour/per person is kind of steep especially when you have six people in a group. That significantly cuts down on throwing time for each person. That's just an observation not criticism. The beer was great and the atmosphere was awesome. read more

All the beer tastes like they dumped vodka in it. Food tastes like they ran to Walmart and plugged in the $50 air fryer. Not to mention. The prices are silly gooses lousy! $9 for piss mixed with shit and vodka. The ambience.....turn on the AC. 2 stars for the axe throwing! Solid! read more

The bar lady was real helpful and the selection was interesting and I really wanted to like this place. The beer is not bad except it's not really memorable. The place is cool with pool tables and some decent food and they share a spot with Blade & Bull Axe Throwing, so you can have some fun here, but it's out of the way and honestly I don't think I'd make the trip on purpose. I'm sure it's a great local hangout, but I was passing through on 95 and this was my second trip and I think i'll try a different city next time. read more

I just relocated my Daughter from Massachusetts to Florence, South Carolina. It so happens that my niece and her fiancé live in the same area. After a very long drive. Moving and assembling furniture I needed a break. My niece suggested a local place they enjoy, the Blade and Bull ax throwing at Seminar Brewing. She said we could have some beer and throw some axes! Throw axes and drink beer, only in the south can you find such a fantastic cosmopolitan night out. (That was tongue and cheek) This place is cool. Yes, they brew their own beers, right on the same floor with the tables and bars, and yes, ax throwing lanes. You come in, order beer, sign a waiver (LoL), order bar food, and are assigned a throwing lane or two. It runs about twenty bucks a person for an hour, not including the beer and food. I can tell you from personal experience that your throws seem to get better the more beer you drink. Speaking of the beer, they have a very talented brewmaster, or they are the luckiest folks south of the Mason Dixon line. I would leave a review of each of the beers that I tried, but the selection seems to change regularly. Suffice to say it was excellent. The food is tasty, and the portions are very generous. I am guessing this is to absorb some of the alcohol so you can throw straight. Just in case you can't throw straight, the ax-throwing lanes are separated by a chain-link fence. Instruction is provided. I want to point out these are not throwing axes but Harbor Freight and Home Depot Specials. I was dubious but was throwing underhanded and hitting the bullseye after 15 or 20 minutes. If you are looking for a fun night out with a group of friends, this is it. read more

This place was fun and the food and beers were good. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because with it being 90 degrees outside it definitely needed to pump up the AC. We ordered a ton of appetizers thinking because of it being an axe throwing place the apps would be small. We were shocked to find out they were HUGE. My favorite was the soft pretzels. They give 3 dipping sauces and the pretzels were the softest I've ever had which I loved. The onion rings were good too. I'm not a big fan of nachos but even those were good and one order can feed an entire table. Definitely try the cider. I'm not usually one to like cider but it tastes more like a lemonade beer and wasn't to tart. Was very enjoyable on a hot day. read more

This is a very cool brewery in Florence (Florence's first commercial brewery!) that you can easily hang out in for hours at a time! They have a limited food menu (wow, those fries though.....) to keep you going, and an impressive and extensive list of brews. We loved the couch and TV set up inside. We could have hung out there all day watching Sunday football! As it stood, we stayed a couple of hours longer than we planned. Both the inside and outside of the brewery are huge and the outdoor courtyard and tables are really great! I loved the NE IPA Pixels, the DIPA Megapixels and the DS4. Love the artwork / labels and names of all their beers and just think this place is so much fun and very friendly. Bar staff was also great. Will definitely go back when we are in the area again. read more

Don't eat the food if you have any allergies or vegetarian, or don't like anything covered in grease. No sympathy from the staff, the could not care in the least. Only consolation is the beer was acceptable. We won't be back. read more
