Good afternoon, Greenville!
This week’s lineup has a little bit of everything—great food, live music, and exciting things on the horizon. We’re spotlighting a visit to The 07 restaurant, a brand-new indoor pickleball facility coming soon, Dwight Yoakam live, and Gather Greenville’s big 6th anniversary celebration.
Let’s dive in.
RESTAURANT SCENE
The 07
Price range: $16-$48
Right along Laurens Road, The 07 has quietly built a reputation as one of Greenville’s go-to dining spots.
Step inside and the tone is set — warm lighting, a lively bar, and a dining room that feels polished without being stiff.
Here’s why people keep coming back:
• The Crispy Brussels Sprouts Salad
Not just a side — a signature. Crispy edges, layered texture, and that sweet-savory balance people crave.
• Thoughtfully Executed Entrées
The lamb is tender and rich. The pork chop is cooked with precision. The Moroccan shrimp brings bold, balanced flavor. Every plate feels intentional.
• A Strong Beverage Menu
Craft cocktails, a curated wine list, and a bar scene that holds its own.
• Service That Matches the Setting
Attentive without hovering. Polished without pretension. Even on busy nights, it runs smoothly.
