Twice a year, Greenville’s restaurants run worthwhile promotions during Restaurant Week. This year, 57 restaurants are participating, ranging from casual spots to fine dining. For example, enjoy a 3 course meal at Cantina 76 for $20 or a 4 course meal at Abyss Raw Bar & Cocktail for $70. Restaurant Week is an excellent excuse to get dressed up and try something new, courtesy of a great deal. They have deals on seafood, farm-to-table, and everything in between. Whether you’re looking for a certain cuisine or specific neighborhood, Restaurant Week is the ideal time to explore Greenville’s favorite restaurants.

Wild Yarrow Brewing is a cozy, local taproom that hosts community events throughout the week. They pride themselves on their locally sourced lagers, often flavored with SC herbs or fruits. This Saturday, they are hosting two events: Barks & Brews and Live Music with Eternally Grateful. Join the first event from 2pm-5pm, where you’ll get to snuggle with sweet pups from Lucky Pup Dog Rescue. Partial sales from that time will benefit this worthy organization, too. Then, join from 6pm-9pm for the acoustic duo Ben Williams and Cooper Pearce, who have a “Jamericana” or Indie Folk sound. Spice up the evening with a savory treat from the Lai Sushi Express food truck on site. Enjoy!
