The best burger I've had in Greenville. The smash patties are crusted and pressed exactly right, the buns are homemade and are soft on the exterior and toasted on the flat perfectly. The cheese just melts into each patty. It's an awesome burger. The loaded fries are also spectacular. Hand-cut, and the cheese sauce is decadent. We devoured them. Also- The pickles are the best I've ever had in my life. I asked the waitress for the recipe and the chef came out with a print out of how to do it. So cool. I love this place. read more

Located in the ever changing West Greenville area, Bar Margaret is an eclectic, cool vibe. A small space that is welcoming.

Be sure to check out the ceiling! read more

I will say I've never been to this restaurant. It didn't have much food selection, but what I did have was actually surprisingly tasty. I got the Damn Good Burger With The Fries that came out as an appetizer! The only thing was it was kinda near a bad side of town, and you had to pay for parking. Probably wouldn't come back for that, but still was great food!! read more

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere has this great funky, cool vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome. We were seated right away and the service throughout our visit was excellent--attentive and friendly without being overbearing. I ordered the Southern Classic burger (no onions) and it was perfectly cooked--juicy, flavorful, and just what I was craving. My husband had the Korean bites and they were a hit--packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. We also shared an order of fries, which were fresh, hand-cut, and seriously some of the best fries we've had in a long time. To top it all off, we had a margarita that was absolutely delicious--bright, balanced, and super refreshing. Bar Margaret definitely delivered. We'll be back! read more

The burger I got was amazing! The chicken bites were perfect. And not to mention the truffle fries.

Came in for a drink on a Saturday night. We identified we wanted to be at the bar area rather than dining room as we just wanted drinks, no food. The host said we could not do so, so we decided to go next door. She clapped her hands and said "good!". Not friendly at all. Very different experience from our last visit, will think twice before returning. read more

I do not say this lightly: this is the best burger in the Upstate. I've had a lot of burgers and this burger is out of this world. I order the Even Gooder Burger (double patty) with an onion ring on top. It is absolutely to die for. The meat is quality meat, thinly cooked to perfection (if you life a crunchy burger, this is it!). The poppy seed buns are hand-made in-house. The sauces are all made from scratch. The fries are hand cut and fresh. The cocktails are thoroughly & uniquely made to perfection. I haven't ventured outside the menu from the burger because it's just that good. You cannot miss eating at Bar Margaret. Signed, major foodie who's traveled all over the world and knows really good food. read more

Great burger. Fun atmosphere. Lunch was perfect. We shared the truffle fries. Not much more to say.

I had high expectations of this place because I know what to expect from GBD, and I have to say that they totally delivered! My bartender was so nice...and, well, patient. I was indecisive except that I wanted a cocktail with vodka and food without cheese. I put the pressure ON this poor dude, and he did not disappoint!!! He asked how heavy the food should be, and I said medium, so he hooked me up with what I think was a cheeseless Hippie Burger & it absolutely hit the spot!!! Just stellar. But did the drink live up to my expectations?....YES. Very much so. I still have no idea what I got, but I told him it tasted like the smell of a Home Goods. If you're familiar with the store, it always smells light and airy and mildly floral, like how my drink tasted. It was fantastic, and I apologize that I can't tell you what it was. Will absolutely be back!!! read more

Discovered this place after visiting another bar across the street. Glad we went in and stayed for a bit. Sat at the bar in the back. Friendly and engaged bartender. Wait staff were nice. Had a draft beer, "damn good burger" as well as the "truffled up" fries. Good food. We will be back! read more

Bar Margaret will remain a destination for my crew - the food we ordered, burgers, salads, apps, fries (oh my lord the fries) was delicious and a good value! A few disappointments were that the BAR was not open until dinner and that they no longer served brunch. (The brunch menu was amazing!) Be sure to make the tour around the place to see the lovely art - and for the Halloween season, don't forget to LOOK UP! read more

Such a cool local spot in West Greenville! I had the veggie burger with fries and my fiancé had the breakfast bowl, both were DELICIOUS. The veggie burger is one of the best flavors I've had in a while and the fries were so good and crispy! The overall place had such a cozy, fun vibe and is a gem, we can't wait to go back. read more

A unique, funky-in-the-best-way kind of spot. The menu regularly rotates, so I try something new every time! This time I went for the Water Lily cocktail, and it certainly didn't disappoint. We nibbled on some house fries as well, though the garlic dipping sauce was by far the star of the show. Well, actually, make that a close second behind the decor. There are fun design elements scattered anywhere and everywhere your eye might turn--like the dancing skeletons along the window, a colorful mural behind the bar, and a bathroom covered in dog-themed art (in case you hadn't heard, "Margaret" is the owner's great dane). Definitely give this offbeat West Village spot a try! read more

Just had the new vegan veggie burgers with fries and DAMN! That was so good! Everything they do right now is GOLD. Wow, my wife and I have been coming here since it transitioned from GB&D. Now know as Bar Margaret. The first thing that comes to my mind is that the food, atmosphere, and service display consistent excellence. Recently I came to pick up their famous pre-mixed cocktails and they didn't have them in stock- so the owner literally went and made them at the bar for me. It was really cool to watch honestly. I recommend the margarita mix with mezcal. Can't wait to get back to going to the bar like normal times, but until covid goes away, this is as good as it gets. Anyway. This is a place we take our out of town friends. We do that because the drinks are great. The staff is excellent. And the aesthetics are wonderful. Come here During meal time and you may wait in line, but it is well worth the read more

Tonight, a friend and I tried out Bar Margaret for the first time. Let me tell you, the fries are delicious and crispy! They taste so good dunked in the sauce they made. I got the Damn Good Burger and a bottled coke. The burger has 2 beef patties, American cheese, onion rings (yum!), their mayo...all in between their house made poppy seed bun. It was very tasty. Burgers were perfectly cooked. Had a lot of flavor and they were not dried out. The bottled coke just made it all taste better. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try any of their cocktails, but all the drinks they were bringing out to customers looked very tasty. Good atmosphere. Light music was playing which I really liked! I don't like going into a restaurant when they are blaring music and you cannot hear each other. I would come again to try some other things on their menu, their their Bahn Mi sandwich and a cocktail. read more

Finally! If I were to ever open and run a bar, it'd be a heck of a lot like Bar Mars. The ambiance is lighthearted, with cartoons painted on the walls. The drink glasses are a mix of what I'd expect to find in my grandparents home bar, crossed with a swanky 1950's/1960's hangout. It's small and cozy, and just the kind of place you'd like to just sit and spend some time. Don't mistake the lighthearted ambiance with the quality of what they serve, though. From ingredients to recipes, they take each of their cocktails seriously. Also serious are their choices of wine and beer. And although we just stopped in for a drink, their food menu is small looks worth coming back for...from a burger to pork belly bao...whatever my mood I'm sure to find something. I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't THE MUSIC. It was like stepping into my own head (not a place I'd dare most people to go ). I'm now inspired to go into the garage, dig out my old cassette tapes and records, and convert them to digital, specifically those gems that I haven't already replaced in digital form. Their menu mentioned I may hear some John Denver...which I did not in the brief time I was there...maybe next time, which will be soon. read more

Had the Damn Good Burger and they're not lying. It is capital D, Damn good. The milk bread bun was slightly smaller than a normal bun which let the crispy edges of the double patties shine. A double patty perfection for 10 buck each?? That's pretty awesome as far as high quality shmancy burgers go. The fried onion rings on it were perfect. The bun was perfectly toasty. Had the chocolate peanut buttery Sex Bomb dessert which was super rich but awesome. Will be back!! read more

A great new bar concept from Alex George at GB&D and bar manager Chris George opening tonight, October 4th. It's connected to GB&D's space in the Village of West Greenville. It's a welcome addition to the local cocktail scene. The space is very cozy with a nice little area to lounge and a beautiful bar up front. Somehow the space looks way bigger than when it was occupied by the old Village Grind space. The walls are covered in a really awesome mural by @chuckfristian that invites a very fun and welcoming atmosphere to enjoy a few cocktails. We had a mezcolada which was a smoky icy mezcal take on a colada. It was great. We also had the Corpse Reviver #2. This was my favorite of the two drinks. Apparently their cocktail list is going to change seasonally so expect a fresh menu change soon! This was a long awaited addition to the Greenville bar scene so go check them out for their official opening tonight read more

Cool concept but not home run for us. The alcohol free drinks were 10/10 and probably the main reason we would come back. The fries appetizer was most appropriately sized for a table if 4+ and given the sheer volume of fries but was light on the add ins since it was all on top rather than mixed in so a 7/10. The vegan burger special was an unfortunate 3/10 for us. The vegan cheese (like some type of potato/carrot deal) was minimally flavored and smothered over a very moist patty. The bun was gritty and lacking flavor on the outside while gummy from all of the extra moisture on the inside. It had large hunks of red onion rather than thinly sliced rings which made for very uneven flavor bites. I've never failed to finish a vegan burger much less half of a burger but even splitting it we couldn't bring ourselves to finish it. I really liked the vibe and hesitated to leave a review but I think that "good enough considering it's vegan" doesn't fly in 2023 and an item should be competitive in quality to any other item on the menu. read more

Delicious drinks & bites in a fun setting! I tried the mezcaluna and the funky cocktail and both were great. The Korean chicken bites with shrimp crackers and fermented veggies was full of flavor. If you love pimento cheese, get the loaded fries. So yummy. The burger was a perfect bar burger featuring thin patties, an onion ring, burger sauce, and a poppyseed bun. Two appetizers and a split double burger left my husband and I very full! We got the slutty brownie to go.. The cookie dough, Oreos, and raspberry brownie made for a great treat. Our host and server were both very friendly and attentive. The bar is filled with funky art that's fun to look at. We'll definitely be back! read more

Well, I'm not sure what is going on with this place, but here is my Saturday brunch experience. My hubby and I walked in the door around 11a and were seated with only about 10 other patrons in the restaurant. By the way, brunch is 10a-2p. It took about 15 minutes for someone to take our order and another 30 minutes to get our food. Normally, waiting 30 minutes for food may not be that bad, but we got a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and breakfast tacos (see photos). Also, they were NOT busy at all. My biscuit was good, but really crumbly and fell all apart. After waiting all of that time my hubby's eggs were cold in his tacos. When we left around noon there were no other people in the restaurant, nor waiting to get in. We used to enjoy this place, their food and cocktails, however I think this place may be on its way out. read more

never fails!! I wanted to write a review per my experience last night. TMI but take out food always gives me tummy aches, but last night I ate so much food from here and didn't feel that once! oh what joy!!!! the ingredients are so fresh, I called my order in and they even waited to drop the fries until I got there so they would be crispy. great customer service, great staff, great food. the korean bites are fabulous, the fries are just the right amount of salty, and the burgers are the best in town. such a great environment inside as well with lots of art, neon signs, good music and energy from staff. 100/10. love it. thank you BM! read more
