Tucked into the heart of downtown Pickens, Burning Brick Tavern offers something that is becoming harder to find—a true neighborhood tavern where locals gather for good food, cold drinks, and conversation.
The atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming from the moment you walk in. A full-service bar anchors the space, while a pool table and casual seating create the kind of environment where visitors can stay awhile. On any given evening, you’ll find friends catching up after work, families enjoying dinner, and visitors exploring downtown Pickens.
The menu focuses on classic tavern favorites. Hand-pressed burgers, Philly cheesesteaks, Reubens, chicken sandwiches, wings, flatbreads, salads, and baskets of fried seafood provide plenty of options for hungry guests. Signature burgers such as the Burning Brick Burger, Rodeo Burger, and Bacon Jammer have become customer favorites.
Those looking for appetizers can choose from fried green tomatoes, onion petals, buffalo chicken dip, fried pickle chips, deviled eggs, and soft pretzels. The tavern also offers a full bar with specialty cocktails, local and national beers, wine selections, and seasonal drink specials.
One thing that stands out is the value. The menu remains reasonably priced, making it an attractive stop for both locals and travelers exploring Pickens County.
For visitors spending the day hiking at Table Rock State Park, exploring the Doodle Trail, visiting Hagood Mill, or touring downtown Pickens, Burning Brick Tavern provides a convenient place to relax and enjoy a meal before heading home.
Like many of the small businesses that give downtown Pickens its character, the tavern helps create the welcoming small-town atmosphere that continues to draw people to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
