Action Packed Weekend in Greenville

Good afternoon, Greenville. Fall is finally here, and you know what that means – cooler weather, pumpkin patches, and the perfect excuse to eat your weight in comfort food.

This week we've got the inside scoop on where to find the best German eats in town, a happy hour deal that'll make your wallet smile, and a haunted house that will scare the living hell out of you (yes, really).

Plus, the annual Fall for Greenville festival featuring live music, lots of food vendors, and plenty of people-watching. And the weather is going to be pretty perfect in the low 70’s. Nice, huh!

Stir brings you relaxed vibes with phenomenal bartenders crafting detailed cocktails. The chicken lettuce wraps with fresh shiitake mushrooms and crispy rice are worth the visit. Pair this with one of their many cocktails like the Elderflower Sour and enjoy your evening.

Schwaben House serves up German comfort food with a modern twist. Their menu is packed with hearty classics made from local ingredients when possible. Try the Jäger Schnitzel – tender pork smothered in mushroom gravy with buttered Spätzle on the side. Or go for the Schwaben Pfanne, which stacks pork medallions over cheese spätzle with even more of that delicious mushroom sauce. It's the kind of meal that sticks to your ribs.

Just an FYI, we don't make money from these deals - we just love sharing good finds with our community.

Chilling Haunted House | The Sunken Manor at The Underground Farm
Ends November 2

This year's haunted experience is bigger and way scarier than before. It's part haunted house, part escape room, which means you're not just walking through—you're actually part of the spooky story. Hidden right off Main Street in Travelers Rest sits a creepy underground mansion with some seriously dark secrets. Local legends say strange things happened there years ago, and folks in town still wonder what's buried beneath.

If you're brave enough, step inside and become the hero of this terrifying tale. Fair warning: this isn't your typical haunted house where you just watch scary stuff happen. You'll need to solve puzzles and make choices as you go. It's the kind of place that'll have you jumping, laughing nervously, and maybe screaming just a little bit.
