Since their first brewery and taproom opened in 2018 on Foreman Street in Cayce, Steel Hands has gained quite a following in the Midlands area. In 2022, they even expanded to Greensboro, North Carolina, showcasing their ambitions and dedication to the craft beverages scene. Now, with their latest location in Columbia, they’re looking to create a cozy atmosphere where everyone can gather and enjoy fine spirits and delicious food.

What’s on the Menu?

One of the standout features of this new location is its extensive drink menu. Steel Hands is not just a brewery; it’s also a distillery! They’re offering a variety of hand-crafted spirits including gin and vodka, alongside a unique pecan-flavored rye whiskey that promises to be a crowd favorite.

When it comes to food, they have invested effort into creating a menu that pairs perfectly with their beverages. Prepare your taste buds for some mouth-watering options such as Spanish stuffed peppers, pecan rye bacon Brussels sprouts, and Cajun crawfish poppers. If you’re more in the mood for something hearty, don’t miss their oven-roasted chicken thighs and hanger steaks. And, let’s not forget the tempting lemon garlic shrimp cocktails that are sure to be a highlight for seafood lovers!
