Michael SharpFriendly staff and patrons hanging out. Fun time drinking several nice options - the amber,kolsch, and orange seltzer. Great location, chill spot and fair prices. Stop in and enjoy a beer or three.

M BLocal motive is a nice little brewery located right by the Florence rail trail connection trailhead. They have a good amount of outdoor seating and plenty of outside space for the kids to run around. There was a food truck there the day we visited. There's also a great burger shop next door and an excellent coffee joint a few doors down. They had six beers on tap, a seltzer and two flavors of 10.5% ABV frosé. My favorite beer was the Behemoth Triple IPA which clocked in at 10% ABV. We stopped here as a pit stop driving north from Charleston. We had a bowl from the food truck, a burger from Buddy's next door, I had a flight of beer, and my wife had a coffee from the Bean Bar (she was driving the next leg)- and we were back on the road in 30 minutes. Definitely worth a visit.

Tracy CountGreat spot to visit that also has an outlet to the rail trail if you are interested in a walk after. They serve their own brews. They rotate their selections based on what is ready. There were food trucks on location that you can order from, thai local & King Jefe. They also offer BOBA. There is plenty of outdoor seating on a deck or inside it the weather doesn't permit. Dog friendly. We ordered sushi which was delivered to us in take out containers and togo condiments. It makes it easy to take any leftovers with you should you desire. Food was as tasty as it is from the restaurant. Will definitely return.

Anna K AmendolareNice, off the beaten path local brewery. Beer was all "beer flavored" nothing fancy, but good beer. Plenty of seating with nice outdoor patio to hang out and corn hole, if you're so inclined. Small menu, if you need a bite. A nice, quiet spot to drink beer and chill with friends.

John ParkerI tried 4 beers and my wife and I both had the burger. The beers were all pretty good, nothing really standout, though I'd drink them all again. The burger was really good! The fries were good. The place is big and looks great inside. Nice bar and good service. We'll definitely go back.
