Toast of the town: Drink Up Week has arrived

This week — Monday, July 22-Friday, July 26, 2024 — we’re shining a spotlight on the vibrant drink scene in Greenville.

Two people are holding drinks out in front of them, clinking them together. The iced drinks are a pink/red color with slices of limes and lemons.

Cheers — Drink Up Week is here.

Drink Up Week is finally here, and we have a feeling it’ll be the toast of the town.

Here’s the tea — today through Friday, July 26, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages that make Greenville go ‘round.

As you know, we’ve created an interactive map of can’t-miss deals offered by local businesses in Greenville. Here are the top deals our GVLtoday editors have their eyes on — and what they plan to pair with these drinks.

City Editor Danielle recommends stopping by Curean to snag a Drink Up Week deal. This is the perfect spot for a date night with your partner or a meetup with your friends. In addition to a wide selection of wines + craft cocktails, Chef Austyn’s food is some of the best in our city. Pro tip: Don’t forget to wear pink on Wednesday for a half-price cocktail called “Wednesdays we wear pink.”

City Editor Stephanie is on a health journey and hasn’t been drinking alcohol as much, so she’s looking forward to 50% off mocktails at Carmella’s Café & Dessert Bar. It’s very possible she’ll also grab an Italian Sandwich and eat it while longingly looking at the geese in the Reedy River.

We hope you enjoy sipping your way through our city this week. Cheers to you and happy Drink Up Week, Greenvillians.
