Anyone else headed to Greenville SC

for the women's hoops tourney? Any locals who can suggest good places to eat? Hopefully the players will be rested/refocused and make it a fun weekend.

I like Ricks Deli and Smoke on the Water myself. Spill the Beans for morning coffee. All downtown by the river.

On my list for next trip is Birds going South Brewery and The Trap Door. Heard good things.

Lived in Greenville a few years back. Now in Seattle, but know that you've made a great decision. Greenville's the best city in the south. Plan on spending a lot of time downtown. It's the "IT" spot in the city. There are a few great rooftop bars. I second Smoke on the Water. Takosushi is my favorite happy hour for food. Trap Door is pretty cool with a great Germanic/Belgian beer selection. If you can grab a seat on the balcony overlooking Falls Park, Mary's Cottage is a pretty sweet spot for lunch. Barley's tap room has a wide beer selection and pretty good pizza.

Just make sure to hang out in Falls Park for a bit. It's an awesome amenity for the town. And if you want to see what lofts look like when attached to a ball field, ride by the Greenville Drive stadium.

Halls Chophouse downtown is owned by Billy Hall, played for Jackie back in the 90's I believe.

Greenville, SC is a kick *** town. Run out to Furman University, if you get a chance, and drive around...really pretty campus (at least in the Spring, Summer and Fall) - nice architecture. Swing by Thomas Creek Brewery (downtown area) and get you a couple of Up the Creek IPA's. 12.5% ABV'ers with about 140 IBU's. Wouldn't say this is a great Imperial IPA but it'll only take 2. The Greenville Drive have a cool stadium. Nice thing about this town is that it sits at the base of the Appalachians and tends to get cooler nights during the late summer. Was up there in August a few years ago and went out to see a Drive's game one evening and it was 70*. Nice change of pass for that time of year. Look up Ben Bounds, Bo's brother, he'll show you a good time.

MSU Grad and Greenville resident. You can find really all you need in and around Main St and the West End. Plenty of restaurants and bars with more on the way. The arena is about a 4-5 block walk from Main Street downtown. Downtown has gotten rave reviews from many a travel magazine. There is an alumni function from 2-5 p.m. Friday at SIP rooftop restaurant and lounge. Methodical for coffee. Ink and Ivy is a new hot nightlife spot. Connolly's is a good Irish pub and try Pour Taproom for about 75 self serve brews on tap. Hall's Chophouse is an MSU alum owned steakhouse whose owner is an MSU alum. The Charleston version has been named best steakhouse in the U.S. Addy's is a cool Dutch bar. TakoSushi is delicious Southwest Mexican Sushi Fusion and Purple Sushi is really good sushi. Murasaki and Nosedive are great for people watching. American Grocery is great farm to table and then The Anchorage is a newest hip restaurant in the Village of West Greenville about a mile from downtown. Bird's Fly South Brewery has great Sour beers if that's your thing. Trappe Door is great German food/beer. Barley's or Vic's for Pizza. Up On The Roof is the newest rooftop restaurant/bar with great views. Fall's Park and the Swamp Rabbit trail are very popular for walking exercising. Smiley's and Chicora are good for live music. Breakwater and Rainer's are good chill local bars. Tupelo Honey and Soby's for breakfast and brunch. Mac's for BBQ and sports. Flour field is the home of the Greenville Drive, a Bosox Single A team. This weekend it's reopening for a college baseball tourney after a 13mm facelift and it's a fantastic replica of Fenway, complete with green monster. (Everything I've listed is all along main street or just off of it and walkable.) There are plenty more, just pop into one that suits your fancy. Greenville is a great town and has much to offer so get out and explore.
