If you’re like us, chances are you always have a drink in your hand. Whether you’re like Danielle with her emotional support water bottle or Kyle with her mug of black coffee — no matter the time of day, there’s a beverage at the ready.
In honor of #DrinkUpGreenville Week, we’re sharing some of our favorite spots for GVL drinks (alcoholic + non-alcoholic). |
|
|
Mocktails 🍹 Danielle’s pick: Juniper, 315 S. Main St. The zero proof “Juice Bomb” is Danielle’s go-to on a night out with friends. 🍹 Kyle’s pick: Group Therapy Pub & Playground, 320 Falls St., Ste. G
If you’re looking for a classic cocktail sans alcohol, try the “Not Your Grandpa’s Old Fashioned,” made with Spiritless bourbon. |

Milkshakes
🥤 Danielle’s pick: The Crazy Mason, 942 S. Main St. (coming soon)
While The Crazy Mason’s Greenville location hasn’t opened yet, Danielle got a taste in Myrtle Beach + can’t wait to sip on the over-the-top ice cream creations when the milkshake spot opens across from Fluor Field at the West End. 🥤 Kyle’s pick: Clare’s Creamery, 1635 E. North St. If it’s made with Clare’s small-batch ice cream, like the Honey Vanilla, you know it’s going to be creamy and full of flavor. |

From the flavorful loose teas to boba, this is the perfect spot for an afternoon pick-me-up. 🫖 Kyle’s pick: Camilla Kitchen, 130 S. Main St.
Cozy up with a new read and try signature + seasonal tea blends, like the “Life of Chai” latte at this cafe inside M. Judson Booksellers. There’s more where that came from, GVL. Click the button for 12 more drink superlatives. |

The first play of The Greenville Drive’s Sun., July 24 game against the Aberdeen IronBirds earned The Drive some national attention.
Phillip Sike’s diving catch in the outfield took the No. 2 spot on ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10.
Despite falling 7-5 to the IronBirds, Phillip had a good game on the other side of the ball too, with a home run in the fourth inning.
