Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The Southern Growl runs a 60-tap house-beer program with a World Beer Cup Gold medal and cocktails made in-house from fresh ingredients, often on tap. The cocktail list leans on classics and playful originals, while a flat $8 wine list and a dedicated mocktail round out a bar that is clearly beer-first but not beer-only.
- What should I order?
- Start with Quad Bless Your Heart, the Belgian Dark Strong that took a 2026 World Beer Cup Gold. For a hoppy counterpoint, Bury Me in Strata, a Southern IPA brewed with Strata hops, is a solid pint. If cocktails pull you, the Old Fashioned is built with Bulleit bourbon and house simple syrup.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers chasing award-winning house brews will find the deepest draw, especially fans of IPAs, lagers, and barrel-aged specialties. Cocktail drinkers get fresh-made drinks on tap, and non-drinkers have a real mocktail plus cold brew and butterbeer.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pints run $5.75 to $8.00; some 20oz pours are $6.50. Cocktails are $12.00 to $14.50, wines are a flat $8.00 a glass, and nonalcoholic drinks range from $1.85 to $9.00. To-go 4-packs of 16oz cans run $13.00 to $18.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A brewery where the beer medal case includes a 2026 World Beer Cup Gold for Quad Bless Your Heart and a Southern IPA that won first place at the 2022 Best of SC Brewer's Guild competition, while the bar pours cocktails from taps alongside 60 house beers.
