NOSE DIVE NOSE DIVE is a casual GastroPub that offers high quality food, unique cocktails, a distinctive offering of wines on tap, and a selection of handcrafted beers, along with superior customer service in a warm environment in the heart of Downtown Greenville. The restaurant features an eclectic menu of ingredients and flavors found in comfort foods and “pub” fare. Signature dishes include a Black Angus burger, Fish and Chips, the pub-favorite Scotch Egg, and a Traditional lobster roll.
Wine on Tap “Wine on Tap” is a unique new trend in wine service – ensuring the wine you taste is “barrel fresh,” eliminating the potential for spoiled or corked wines, while also being a great “green” method to offer a wide variety of wines by the glass. As opposed to bottling the wine in the traditional method, these wines are delivered to the restaurant in sealed kegs and served on tap – “winery fresh, from barrel to glass” – ensuring the last glass poured is as good as the first. Our wines on tap rotate often, but always feature selections that will delight any wine lover’s palate.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House Ruth’s Chris Steak House is a Greenville favorite, featuring custom-aged, USDA Prime steaks, served with the signature sizzle and legendary hospitality. Start your unforgettable dining experience with a handcrafted cocktail or a selection from the award-winning wine list.

French Quarter 75 Originally created at Harry’s Bar in Paris for soldiers returning from World War I, the French (Quarter) 75 was named for the French 75-millimeter howitzer artillery piece, which like the drink, was known for its surprising kick. A delightful combination of gin, elderflower liqueur and a hint of lemon, topped off with a splash of bubbly, this refreshing and sophisticated vintage-inspired cocktail is sure to start your evening off with a bang!
