Stopped by for a late-night drink—most restaurants in Sumter close before 10 PM, and this place was no exception.
The bar shares its kitchen with the Hamptons. I ordered the artichoke dip, guacamole, calamari, cheese board, and chicken wings. The food was decent.
I liked the fact that they have a decent wine list, which was the main reason I stopped here.
Both the decor and service are a step above typical local restaurants. That may explain the predominance of a certain demographic during my visit. Overall, it’s a nice option for a date night or a drink before or after dining at the Hamptons.

Had drinks after dinner in town. It’s located upstairs above Hamptons. Really quiet but a very trendy crowd. If you like gin drinks ask for their special. I am a purist with a gin and tonic with Hendricks and a lime. Their house drink is quite good.

Stooped for a nite cap with group of friends before a dinner. We were denied appetizers and where told is we did order drinks it will take a while before we received them. Never felt so unexpected before in a place. I will not recommend this place to anyone.

Cool place had fun dancing, but..This place loves to discriminate, they pick and choose who they want to serve. Have witnessed it on several occasions. Recently happened to me. Stood at the bar for an extended amount of time waiting to be served. Watching people walk up right next to me be served. Even the people around me observe the same. They told me to say something to the server. So I did, I was then told to leave. Extremely ridiculously poor service. Don’t not recommend

Such a lovely space. We love coming here. You can order a perfect pizza or a entree that compares to any fancy restaurant. Their service and selection is amazing. Love coming here for date night. Update years later: still the best place on date night. We look forward to our experience here. The service and food are top tier.

Stopped by Rafters for a nightcap with 5 friends after dinner at El Paso. Sat at a table for 12 mins being completely ignored until we decided to leave. Not very busy, only guess would be the bar tender wanted to close early.

Hidden gem in Sumter. Comfortable atmosphere and good food. A little towards the more expensive side, but you get what you pay for. They do have outdoor seating as well.

Great service and ascetics. That’s about that. The wait on our food was enough for 2 lifetimes and once we received our food it needed so much salt that a fish could swim in it. Utterly disappointed.
