“ A good fish Sammie is hard to find and this was great. Not dried out, the seasoned sauce was perfect, and bun was soft. Sweet potato fries were hot and on point. My cherry old fashioned was perfectly mixed and just strong enough to bring a smile to my face. Enjoyed it and the live music outside. ”

“ I love the burgers here with a nice hazy ipa . Can't beat it! Dog friendly as heck, indoor and out door seating. It feels like there's always something going on there, whether music or other events. If you don't order the Mac and cheese bites you're absolutely mad. They are awesome and you will regret it, they come with a little ranch aioli. The service is good as well, it's always been friendly. One of my fave local breweries for sure! ”

“ Our ROMEO review for the week; Giving a rating of 4.0 based on the 8 reviews from the club. There were 8 of us ROMEO's that went to lunch at the Steel Hands Brewery last Tuesday. All but one of us had never been there before, and the one who had been before had all good things to say about his experiences there, while others had heard reports of good beers, good food, and good atmosphere. As we were the first ones to arrive for lunch, seating was easy amongst the many tables where we seated ourselves and looked over the menu. We then found we need to go to the bar to open our lunch tab, get our beverages, and then go to the lunch window to order food and pick up napkins, plastic forks, etc. This system may work well for the establishment, but does seem it could be more difficult for some instead of being served at the table by waiters/waitresses, particularly when it would be crowded. This detail in fact took a hit when factored into individual assessments. As our Fearless Leader was MIA this day due to home mechanical repair scheduling issues, and my following insights into individual lunch choices and ratings not being up to normal standards, my observations and conversation yielded this: that the burger with a runny egg on it was deemed excellent..the pulled pork sandwiches seemed deemed pretty good, with one observation that a mustard sauce would make it better..the smash burgers were deemed from real good to meh, and the fries deemed by a couple guys as wanting to be more crispy. The bang bang shrimp were said to be really good, and I'd say that the beers were all considered to be very good. The lunch menu is fairly extensive, and has some very interesting sounding choices, and I think consensus is that a return visit would be welcome. Out of a possible 5, with ROMEO scoring between a 3 and 5, our aggregate score is probably between a 4, and a 4.5, with 5's for the brews. A suggestion was also brought up that as there is a shuttle running from USC to Steel Hands, could we get a shuttle out to Sandhills as we do believe that would increase both our business and our safety. ”

“ We've been in the area since 2020, and on the recommendation of the "Beer Man", we visited our first area brewery--Steel Hands! It was good experiences. Our friends had dark beer, a favorite of mine, but on this day, I took the recommendation of one of the staff and tried a sour beer. Truth is I like all beer, except those funky, so called IPAs. The sour was okay, and since our visit fell within Oktoberfest, we sampled some good German themed food. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Steel Hands has an indoor beer hall vibe, a family friendly outdoor space, and decent food! ”

“ Great for just hanging out! We visited Steel Hands Brewing on a Friday evening and while it was busy, it wasn't packed. The space was huge, with plenty of seating both inside and on the (dog friendly) patio. The vibe was casual and kind of industrial, especially the indoor portion. We went up to order food at the counter and drinks at the bar. I chose the Fried Pickles, and a mocktail (the menu featured 3 of these). The mocktail was called something like "sun sipper", but I can't find the name of it now. It was citrusy and pretty tasty, but not super memorable. The Fried Pickles were fried in beer batter and came with house-made ranch - great for a snack! I ended up getting a cocktail later in the night, made with vodka and lemonade (again, can't find the name). This one was stronger than expected, but pretty refreshing. The ambiance on the patio was great and we had no problem snagging a picnic table for our large group. They had live music, and the performers were so talented! I ended up staying way longer than I'd planned to, just to listen to them more. That Sunday, we returned for Yoga & Brunch, hosted by Good Company Yoga. The paved portion of the patio ended up being perfect for outdoor yoga, and we had a great experience. Afterwards, we stayed for brunch, and I ordered the Pimento Cheese Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit. While this dish was tasty, I can't say it was worth the price. The piece of chicken was tiny, and I mostly filled up on the side (I chose sweet potato fries). My friend got the Southern Chicken and Waffles, which were also just alright. Overall though, I do enjoy this brewery - would return! ”

“ After years of only experiencing Steel Hands coffee lagers in a can when my boyfriend would bring them back to Connecticut from his annual vacation, I finally was able to experience the real deal on draft. I couldn't believe the difference in how much the coffee flavor stood out when drinking it on draft! Not pictured was the lagerita- a margarita with a steel hands lime lager floater, which was also awesome! So happy to have finally visited this brewery in person. ”

“ What a great place to hang out. The patio and stage is awesome and they boast some really good local talent. Inside is airy and friendly. The staff is friendly and eager to talk to you about beer. I tried a couple: Coffee Lager-smooth and light great coffee flavor on top of a tasty lager. Tangerine Sour-lots of tangerine flavor and only slight sourness. It was 93 degrees during my visit, so this one hit the spot and was super refreshing. Bring your friends, family, and furries. You'll have a great time. ”

“ What a find this place was! Just passing through and found this place on Yelp. Outstanding on all fronts! The beer was great, the fried chicken and steak sandwiches were A+ and the live music was concert worthy. I was a little concerned when I read about cold fries, but the French fries had a terrific seasoning and were delicious. This place is a gem! ”

“ Beer- plenty of selection with some really good beers on tap. Service- had no issues getting a sample of beer to try or getting my beer. Really friendly staff that genuinely care about their job Brewery- plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. We sat outside in the shade and it was great. Would be fun to see a concert here for their Nashville series. The only downside is parking. The brewery was half full and it was tough to find a spot. Not a total deal breaker in the future but would weigh on my decision to come back. ”

“ Steelhands is by far one of the best breweries in a Columbia. They have a solid fast casual style layout which allows you be freely roaming the spot. They have live music pretty often and a nice outside and indoor experience. The food is pretty solid and they make so of the best local brews in town. Make sure to try their IPAs! ”
