Most Disliked
While City Grill and Sports Bar has many fans, some visitors note that the atmosphere can get quite loud during peak times, especially when live music is on. This high energy, while exciting, might not suit those seeking a quieter dining experience. Additionally, some guests have mentioned occasional wait times during busy events or weekends, which could try the patience of those eager to dive into their meals.
Another aspect that some may find off-putting is the simple decor, which might lack the sophistication that a more upscale setting provides. However, for those looking for genuine fun and good food, the laid-back charm often outweighs these minor drawbacks.

Next to a well known restaurant called "Long Grain" which serves amazing food during the daytime, "City Grill and Sports Bar" is a hidden treasure. As a new resident to Florence, SC moving from the D.C , Maryland area, this place is a great get away from the sometimes busy downtown night life on the weekends. The bar has a variety of spirits and the customer service is outstanding. The apparel and bar stools give you an old school feeling as if you were in the show Cheers. My experience was a unique one. I went to catch a jazz band play. Will definitely be going there again.
