BridgeWay Brewing Co. held its grand opening and ribbon cutting last week.
The brewery is a lifelong dream for its co-owner, Michelle Dodge. Several of Dodge’s family members were also present. The event was held with a beer toast using two in-house brews, the Papa Dodge West Coast IPA and Blue Eyes Blonde.
The brewery served a special menu for the opening, but the full menu was also available.
BridgeWay Brewing is located in Mauldin on BridgeWay Boulevard, just off Interstate 385.
It is open Mondays through Thursdays from 4 to 10 p.m., and Fridays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Pasta Project opened late last month in Five Forks.
Pasta Project is the brainchild of two sets of local restaurateurs: Lazaro and Shadid Montoto of Tropical Grill, and Konstantinos Pallis and Maria Dialis, the owners of Basilico Pizzeria & Italian Cuisine.
The Scuffletown Road eatery offers housemade pasta, salads and Italian fare.
Pasta Project is located at 330 Scuffletown Road in Simpsonville and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

After a nearly two-year hiatus, Handi Indian Cuisine is coming back.
The restaurant, which formerly occupied the space that is now home to French eatery Scoundrel, closed in 2022 after over a decade on Greenville’s Main Street.
The restaurant will make its return to Greenville March 7 at 765D Haywood Road.

Continuing the trend, Charleston-based beer garden Bohemian Bull is offering a frozen holiday beverage, Caramel’s a B*tch.
The cocktail is the tavern’s take on an Irish coffee. It uses Conor McGregor’s Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey, nitro cold brew, oat milk, brown sugar maple simple syrup, and Carolans salted caramel cream liqueur before being topped with whipped cream.
The cocktail is featured at all Bohemian Bull locations. The eatery has upstate locations in Greenville at 3620 Pelham Road and in Mauldin at 1 E. Butler Road.
It is open all week, Sundays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to midnight.
Highlight:
BridgeWay Brewing’s Hummus Trio was offered at the opening; the dish includes traditional, black bean and red pepper hummus.
