Karaoke with Fischer
While Downtown Greenville’s familiar culinary scene has some great BBQ options, this tour will take you outside of the city center to the places locals know and love. These are the types of joints with smoke stacks sticking out of the rooftops and white smoke billowing out of the chimneys–smoking the meats right on the premises.
The Greenville BBQ Trail tour is your opportunity to try back-to-back tastings of what are considered by many to be among the top BBQ spots in the city.
Tours include:
• Insights into each restaurant’s cooking processes and techniques
• Information about each restaurant’s history and how they got started
• Interesting information about Greenville BBQ history
• A drive through old textile mill villages
• And, of course, a chance to try generous portions of smoked meats and delicious sides
Locations we visit:
• Bucky’s Bar-B-Q
• Henry’s Smokehouse
• Mike & Jeff’s BBQ
Join us for a day filled with live music, great food and sample a variety of delicious craft beers from 25+ breweries including Bells, Birdsong, Cigar City, Legal Remedy, Liability, New Belgium, Oscar Blues, and many others. Whether you’re a seasoned beer connoisseur or just looking to have a good time, this event is perfect for anyone who appreciates a cold brew on a Holliday. Cheers!
