New South Spirits

Tucked into the heart of Greenville’s lively downtown, New South Spirits is where Southern hospitality meets small-batch craft distilling. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by a crew who radiate warmth and know their spirits inside out—no pretension, just genuine conversation over the clink of ice in a glass. The tasting room strikes that sweet spot between upscale and unbuttoned: comfortable bar stools, inviting patio seating, and the low hum of locals mingling with curious out-of-towners. The house cocktails are inventive but grounded—signature pours like the Beauregard let their rum or tequila shine without gimmicks. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a behind-the-scenes tour led by the owner or master distiller; these folks love to share their passion and it shows in every tailored tasting flight. More than just a bar or bottle shop, it’s become a gathering spot for celebrations and spontaneous meetups alike—a place where you can toast to something special or simply savor a perfectly balanced drink with friends.
