Southern Barrel Brewing Company

A really nice place with a lot of room, but it was pretty slow for a Saturday night. Not that I minded, but I hope for their sake that they have much busier nights. The Saison I had was good not great, and I wish I had more belly room for another style. I would recommend stopping in if you’re in Bluffton Co. SC

Restaurant/brewpub and cannery located in a newer shopping center that seems to be anticipating more growth. Huge patio with a very nice ping-pong table. Selection has about a dozen taps of home team brews. I had two brews and both were above average. They have flights and 10 oz pours as well. Menu has the usual burgers, bbq, sandwiches and appetizers. Had the brisket sandwich and it was pretty good. Service was good but there was some confusion about the beer menu description vs. what was served to some in my party. Seemed to be more of a management/beer menu misprint issue than the server’s fault.

A rustic atmosphere with bar seating, table seating and plush chairs set in group in rear of restaurant. While I was there there was a group of Irish musicians there. They were not paid entertainment but just meet there as a group. Place was quiet when I was there. Staff is friendly and eager to talk. Menu is typical of the current brewery menus but I did not get food. The items I saw come out were presented nicely. Hope to get back and try food.

Large, rustic-yet-new building in the back of a shopping center. Big, open bar area with a view of the brewery. The server was very friendly, enthusiastic about their beer, and helpful. $9 flights of four, and $6-7 pints, with a reasonably priced food menu. They have a good spread of house beers, including some specials. This is a nice place, and with a stop.
