Greenville, South Carolina (Area)
Areas:
Greenville
Greenville is a warm, inviting, down-to-earth place where waterfalls grace the city center, mountain views fill the horizon. The food is remarkable and beverage scene delights every palate. You’ll find all this and more wrapped in southern comfort and hospitality.
Simpsonville
Simpsonville is not far from Greenville. There are restaurants and shopping available. It is also a city full or southern charm and hospitality.
Stays:
Hampton Inn Greenville/Simpsonville
You can't beat the location. It's really close to dining and shopping. The rooms are nice and clean. Every staff member I came across was super friendly and helpful! The room was clean and breakfast was included and great.
The Grand Bohemian
The Grand Bohemian is stunning. My room was beautiful and comfortable, with a gorgeous view of the waterfall. I didn’t get to try the upstairs restaurant, but the downstairs bar was cozy with great small bite options. The location is also a huge plus, with everything downtown just a short walk away.
Restaurants:
J Peters Grill & Bar - Mauldin
I have always enjoyed this place. I am commonly served by a lady bartender who is always nice and brings the southern comfort and hospitality. I usually get the same thing because it is so delicious. The house salad with the house salad dressing with the croissant (good I tell you)! It's the southern bacon on the salad and in the salad dressing (Lawd)! I move on to the tenders which I can never eat them all but I have them for leftovers… mouthwatering good. Oh the side loaded mashed potatoes (bruh)!
I usually eat my chains close to home, Bojangles, Chick-fil-A, Etc.
Everything Eggroll
Desserts:
Mak & Cheesecakes
These cheesecakes always hit the spot and fill me up! My family is a fan of the banana pudding and strawberry. I had the pineapple upside down cheesecake one time and it was good, but I haven't been able to catch them with it again (I be looking though lol). The banana pudding and strawberry are still worth a visit. The service is always welcoming and comforting.
Coffee Underground
This is a cool underground café. The service is usually quick and great smoothies and breakfast! Love the environment and atmosphere. Great space if Wi-Fi is needed.
Activities:
Falls Park on the Reedy
Falls Park is a great space to walk and enjoy the sounds of the waterfall. The kids like to play in the water, and the adults like to watch hahaha. If you are unable to find parking, there is garage parking available for a fee. I think it is $3 an hour. It is serene and romantic. There are a lot of couples and families present. I am sure there are some singles people as well since food and bars are nearby. Lol.
Frankie's of Greenville
They have great rides and all rides were in working order and seemed new and in good condition. The restaurant area was big and they had a various food options. They have a fabulous selection of arcade games. The golf area was beautiful and had benches in the shade in case of a wait. The go karts were amazing, three different types of tracks. It's a fun place for kids and adults.
Gyms:
Cyclebar
I am a fan of Cyclebar because I'm a fan of cycling, music, and community. Choose your class and they usually have different music vibes to ride to. Everybody can set their own limits as we do anyways in our mind.
Planetfit
Always my go to due to traveling the nation.
Drinks:
Matador
Our server was friendly, attentive and made our experience even better. Overall, a great addition to the Greenville dinning scene. We are looking forward to visiting again and checking out the upstairs bar and patio.
The tequila selection is unlike any place I've been to recently. The bar stands out with its beautifully intricate wood design and overall stunning decor.
City Tavern
The service was great. Our server told us that all the servers work together so no need to just ask for her if we needed anything. In fact, three different ones came by to ask if there was anything else we needed throughout the evening. The frozen daiquiri’s are great, and they also make great shots.
Smokes:
Smokey Bluezz
There's something for everyone here. The atmosphere and music are great. There are cigars, hookah, unique food, and food.
Cloudz Smoke Shop
The store has many options and the staff is cool.
