Best of Metromix Greenville 2012Bar

Think about your favorite bar. What makes it, well, your favorite? Maybe it's the huge beer selection or the hot bartenders; maybe it's that they always have your game on or that they play your favorite kind of music. Maybe it's that they see you come in and start mixing your martini just the way you like it. No matter the reason, one thing's for certain—it feels like home. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!

Rey's

20 N. Main St.

Greenville, SC 29601

Neighborhood: Downtown

Previously a market and bistro, Rey's switched gears and became a bar that's popular with the 20- and 30-something crowd.

Nominees

On the Roxx

734 S. Main St.

Greenville, SC 29601

Neighborhood: West End

On the Roxx opened with a bang in 2011. It was voted Best Bar in 2011 by Metromix readers. Maybe it's because the owners get to know the regulars. Maybe it's the mix of entertainment from live music to karaoke to DJ-led dance parties. Whatever it is, judging from the packed house on weekends, On the Roxx is doing something right. Metromix readers voted On the Roxx Best Bar 2011; they were also nominated for Best New Bar 2011.

Addy's Dutch Cafe and Restaurant

17 E. Coffee St.

Greenville, SC 29602

Neighborhood: Downtown

There's no other bar in the Upstate quite like Addy's small, dark and intimate atmosphere. This eurohipster pub has a beer and cocktail list for people with a refined palate and a food menu that could classify Addy's as fine dining.

The Velo Fellow

1 Augusta Street, Suite 126

Greenville , SC 29601

The Velo Fellow is a new addition to the bar scene in the West End. The little pub, located below Mellow Mushroom, has a few comfy couches and chairs, a bar you can belly up to, a few English style community tables and, perhaps best of all, free shuffleboard. The food is good and eclectic, as is the beer menu.

The Brown Street Club

115 N. Brown St.

Greenville, SC 29601

Neighborhood: Downtown

The Brown Street Club has an upscale feel, top notch bartenders and (and generously poured) cocktails, and live jazz and blues. If you like martinis or other classic cocktails, this is a must-stop. And if you're hungry, the menu matches the upscale vibe. The Brown Street Club was nominated for Best Bar 2011.
