GVL Dinner Spots

Thursday's dinner break runs 5:00–6:30 PM before evening drinks at Fireforge. You're on your own for dinner — here are some spots downtown that work well for the window.

Nose Dive

Urban comfort food in the heart of downtown Greenville. Lovely gastropub a short walk from Grok with a seriously good list of brews and beautiful outdoor seating. Great for a quick sit-down before heading to Fireforge.

Hours: Wed–Thu 11:30am–9pm, Fri 11:30am–10pm

116 S Main St, Greenville, SC 29601

Society

Quirky and delicious noodle bowls, amazing sandwiches, great beer on tap and solid cocktails. Two floors, two bars. Easy to get in and out quickly or hang out.

Hours: Mon–Sun 11am–2am

18 E Coffee St, Greenville, SC 29601

Windy City Burgers

Deeeelicious specialty burgers and fries, a block away. Dinner service starts at 4:30 — fits the break window perfectly.

Hours: Wed–Fri 4:30pm–9pm (dinner)

12 E Coffee St, Greenville, SC 29601

The Commons

Food hall with a wide range of options — tacos, burgers, coffee, craft beers. Good if your group can't agree on one thing.

Hours: Wed–Thu 7am–9pm, Fri 7am–10pm

Welborn St, Greenville, SC 29601

Woodside Bistro

Delicious food, on tap old-fashioneds/negronis, and beautiful outdoor seating. A short 6 minute drive from Grok — worth it if you've got the time before Fireforge.

Hours: Wed–Fri 11am–10pm

E 5th St, Greenville, SC 29611

Group Therapy

Not really dinner, but if you want to kill time with mini golf, axe throwing, ping pong, and pour-your-own beers before evening drinks — this is your spot.

Hours: Wed–Thu 11am–10pm, Fri 11am–1am

320 Falls St Ste G, Greenville, SC 29601
