For…read morecontext, I had come here once before, and left somewhat unimpressed with the experience that I had. However, I decided to give Craft and Draft another shot, and I'm definitely glad that I did. Unbeknownst to me, they were holding "trivia night" on the night that I went, which drew a pretty large and lively crowd. While I think that the inside volume was turned up a little too high, it did serve to loosen everybody up, as I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other patrons, who were all very kind and sociable. I also got to check out the back patio for the first time, which was fun, but not quite as notable as some of the other taproom patios that I've been to. In addition, despite the fact that they had heaters on the patio, they didn't seem to be emanating much heat, as it remained pretty cold outside. What I did like was the fact that there was a pizza truck outside, which was making wood-fired pizzas on the spot, and which looked great! (I didn't have one myself, but everybody I asked told me that they tasted great as well.) As for the beers... they were pretty solid! On draft, I got one of the Burial IPAs, which was 8% ACV, and tasted pretty good as well! My friend said that the beer that they got out of the refrigerator was good as well, and that they had a lot of beers that they had never seen or heard of before. As for me, I noticed that they had one canned beer that was 9.5% ACV, which I had never seen before either! The two (2) bartenders working that night were really cool, knew their beers, and definitely made me and my friend feel welcomed. All-in-all, Craft and Draft was a pretty fun taproom, which *might* be a little better in the warmer months versus the cooler ones. Despite this, I'd still recommend stopping by to grab some unique brews, and enjoy the lively but not overly hectic atmosphere.

It's my second time coming here, so I figured I could finally write a fair review. Honestly, I…read morethought the first time might have been a fluke. The burger and fries were great, the beer was perfect, they were playing '90s rock, and Friends was on TV. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The second time, the place was pretty full on a Saturday, but the food and fries were just as delicious, and the beer was still perfect. I'll definitely be coming back regularly to this place!

One of our favorite burger spots in the area…read more We gathered around the one table they have that can fit us in, with the help of adding two small chairs around the corner table. Our group has 13 and fortunately we had 11 today, which probably was about the most they could've managed at that table. Waiter was great. Took our drink orders and burger orders. Had a variety of orders (Poncho, Classic, Tuesday's Special Ron Swanson's), with regular fries and sweet potato fries. Burgers were very good, everyone happy with the exception of one burger getting dropped on the floor, resulting in that person waiting for about 10 minutes to get a replacement. Meanwhile he chomped on some of his fries. Overall food was great. Only issue is with the loud music. Music is good music, just way to loud. Everytime we go here nobody can here each other talk across the table. (We always sit at the big corner table on the right as you walk in). Fries were okay....nothing special. Burgers are the thing. Wish they would offer some home fries along with the regular and sweet potato fries. Only complaint we have is the loud music. Just tone it down about 3db.

Steel Hands Vista was amazing!

It was perfectly set up to feel warm and cozy without going over the top and feeling goofy. In addition, although I didn't eat anything personally, all the food that I saw looked really good, with the fries looking particularly immaculate. Finally, they had a great live performer, who was awesome to watch and listen to! All-in-all, I loved Steel Hands Vista, and'll definitely be back in the future!

The beer was great and the patio was an excellent spot to chill on a beautiful Saturday afternoon…read more The food was overpriced and out of the three things we got, the steak tacos were good. The chicken sliders were $13 and I didn't care for the taste. The $8 Parmesan Truffle fries used that plastic type Parmesan that you would buy at Walmart. For that price I would much prefer fresh shredded Parmesan especially since they are going with an upscale vibe in here. Overall I didn't get the vibe of this place and seemed to clash with this brewery's Cayce location's image. Will I come back to this location. Probably not. Parking is horrendous and the food is overpriced. If I want their beer, I would go to their Cayce location.

Sat at the bar and were immediately asked if they could get us anything promptly responding with drinks. We ordered a Caesar salad and the chipotle Chicken quesadilla both of which were delicious.

Nice bar just on the SW outskirts of Univ if South Carolina; basically across from Greek Village…read more Plenty of tv's, table and room for groups. Atmosphere is pub/sports bar type. 10 min walk from Assembly & Blossom. Food was pretty good; service friendly but pretty slow and lacking a bit. Had to ask multiple times for napkins and just a bit slow at times. Good place for good bar food and drinks, catch a game. Oh and the pizza looked delicious. Just set your service expectations a bit. Would honestly be like a 3.5

If you want a quick beer for a reasonable price, they'll sell you high quality from the tap out in the patio for $5 cash. It's a limited selection of six beers and ciders, but there's always something that'll surprise you at that price. Inside, it's a different story. There are sixteen taps of IPAs, sours, a stout or porter or two, local lagers, German offerings, and a rotating cast that will satisfy the beer nerd and beer newbie. It's still reasonable on the wallet, though. If nothing catches your fancy from a keg, turn around and behold the coolers full of goodness from around the country and world. IPAs of all varieties start on the right and roll into sours and ciders. Then, the lager and pilsners manifest on the shelves along with the European entrants in the cabaret. There is definitely a larger German and Dutch selection than there used to be and they are carrying Czech beers as well now. To the left, darkness abounds with stouts and roasted, malty libations. Peanuts are available year round now and they've added THC drinks and more NA options along kombucha and soft drinks. If you're not a beer drinker, there is a wall full of wines and the staff will point you to one that'll match what your craving. I asked for a recommendation that would go with take-out Chinese one night and was pointed to the perfect pairing. Hungry? The food trucks are lining up to get in here and there has been one every night lately with two some nights. On Saturday and Sunday, the mimosas start at 11 am and the food trucks serve brunch. It's a great way to start the day. If a a food truck doesn't show for some reason, check out one of the close-by kitchens and grab something to go and eat it at one of the dozens of picnic tables spaced around the place. There's plenty of space on the patio and in the Biergarten. Bring your friends but don't be a jerk. Keep your dogs and kids close by. This is a jewel you need to visit.

They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.

Another had the étouffée which was just OK and not really a dinner- sized portion to be honest, and was too spicy.

For a young whippersnapper, that executive chef Cody Cable is doing it!

I have been coming to Bourbon since 2021. I love the atmosphere and feel that their core menu of…read moredrinks (heart of darkness, frankly my dear, sazerac, ya-ya hurricane) are consistent and good. The rotating cocktails are where I feel that the quality has started to slip in the past year or two. The last few times I've been I haven't particularly enjoyed my drinks, which sucks because the vibe and service here are great. It's not like I'm ordering anything off menu, just the drinks on menu that use base liquors that aren't bourbon. I brought my family here this weekend and felt a little disappointed and embarrassed at the quality of the drinks for the price. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Bourbon is good at what they're named after, but everything else is just.... Eh.
