Southernside Brewing Co.

At the edge of Greenville’s Unity Park, Southernside Brewing Co. feels less like a standard taproom and more like an all-ages urban playground with just enough edge for grown-up fun. The sprawling indoor-outdoor setup is alive with the clatter of duckpins, laughter from the arcade, and the steady hum of conversation over pints. Dogs sprawl at their owners’ feet on the turf, kids dart between picnic tables clutching fries, and couples linger with flights of hazy IPA as live bluegrass echoes across the patio. This is where the city’s cyclists and walkers refuel after conquering the Swamp Rabbit Trail, where families gather for comfort food that’s a cut above—think spicy chicken sandwiches overflowing their buns and perfectly crisp fried pickles. Southernside isn’t about ceremony or pretense; here, communal tables foster easy connections and big gatherings are welcomed with warm hospitality. It’s a brewery that bridges generations, blending local flavor with an inviting sense of play.
