Thanks for the great suggestions! I'll have plenty of free time in the evenings, so I'll check out several places.
Misplaced_Canuck, my parents used to live in Florence, SC. Can't say that I loved Florence, but Columbia's pretty cool. I'm excited about checking out your homeland.
Dieu du ciel, definitely.
Benelux? Not really. I wasn't impressed at all with their beers
Le Saint-Bock: Definitely! Loved that place.
A nice beer bar: Bieres et compagnie. Sunday through Wednesday, all you can eat mussels!

There's a reason to go to Florence now: A brewpub called Southern Hops opened not too long ago!

Went to Benelux tonight. I have to admit, I like their beers better than Dieu du Ciel. For atmosphere, I'm 100% in favor of Dieu du Ciel. Its definitely more of my kind of place - low-key, old-school, a little grungy. But I thought the beers (at least the ones I had) were better at Benelux. I had the saison, which I liked better than the Dieu saison, and I had their Sabotage IPA, finished with Nelson Sauvin hops. The IPA was really tasty.
Haven't had the Peche Mortel from Dieu yet, its definitely on the list for tomorrow or Thursday night.
