We are a bit obsessed with this month’s TALK Greenville cocktailin’ location! The latest venture for Dine Development Group, Bourbon Street at Hampton Station opened its doors in February and quickly developed quite the following – present company included! Not only does it offer a nod to The Big Easy (near and dear to both of our hearts), it features bourbons galore, craft cocktails of all persuasions, 26 taps (more on that later), games to keep things playful, and winner after winner coming from the kitchen. How they manage to keep all of those balls in the air and never drop a single one we might never know…but we are so glad they do!

All tapped out…in a good way!

The amazingly long, amazingly beautiful bar (repurposed from the former Liberty Tap Room) allows ample space for the 26 taps Josh, Jesse and team have flowing on the reg. With 5 taps dedicated to wines (sparkling included), several dedicated to the most-requested cocktails, and the balance dedicated to brews of all origins, a  boozy thirst-quencher is ready when you are!

But even with all those taps, these guys are more than happy to introduce you to some bespoke delights. We couldn’t have been happier with what they served up…

The Ancho-Pineapple Margarita…

Nothing says summer like a margarita and this one is the definition of the season! Ancho Reyes Chile liqueur, fresh orange, fresh pineapple and a touch of agave are balanced with the house-made rim of lime and chili salt. Sweet heat makes for a flavor burst that leaves the palate begging for more. Feel free to sip on this while you’re practicing your skills on the whiskey wheel!

The Blood Orange Tequila Sour…

If refreshing is what you’re craving, this is the cocktail for you. A combination of Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila, blood orange purée, and fresh lemon & lime juice are finished off with a delightful foam and garnished with a dehydrated lime. This tangy, bright, bold and flavorful beverage is sure to quench any thirst. Taste-test approved. Satisfaction met. You’ll love it!

 

The Bourbon Butterscotch Martini…

Move over espresso martini, there’s a new kid on the block. Created by bartender extraordinaire Josh (whose skills are unmatched in our not-so-humble opinion, we speak from experience – just sayin’), this libation is for those with a sweet tooth. Woodford bourbon, butterscotch schnapps, chocolate bitters, a smidge of cream and a fresh mint leaf come together to create a rich and creamy concoction.  Warning: addiction is a real possibility with this one!

Burgers and po-boys and fries, oh my!

While Dine Development operates several “Bourbon Street Burger” locations, this one has all that and more! Added to the amazing burger assortment are po-boys to rival any on the NOLA scene and entrees to suit all appetites. Our suggestion du jour would be the mussel pot and tavern fries, but that’s us…you do you!

With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and frequent live entertainment, Bourbon Street has it all!
