329 Bar and Grill

Located in the heart of downtown Hartwell at 126 West Franklin Street, 329 Bar & Grill offers a New Wave American experience that blends classic steakhouse tradition with inventive seafood and craft cocktails. The restaurant’s chef‑driven kitchen showcases hand‑cut Black Angus ribeye, seasoned with a house spice blend and grilled to perfection, alongside the Pecan‑Crusted Rainbow Trout served with a citrus butter sauce and the Honey‑Lime Glazed Salmon that balances sweet and tangy flavors. Starters such as Florentine Artichoke Dip, Shrimp Fondue, Loaded Wedge Fries, and Fried Ravioli set the tone for a relaxed yet refined dinner. The full bar is a centerpiece, where mixologists prepare specialty drinks like the 329 Chillaxer, a tropical mix of Svedka vodka, coconut rum, cranberry and peach liqueur, the Rising Star Martini with passion fruit and Prosecco, and the Blackberry Bourbon Sour that combines Old Forester bourbon with fresh blackberry and lime. The interior combines modern industrial accents with warm lighting, creating a lounge atmosphere that transitions from early evening meals to late‑night drinks. Open Tuesday through Thursday from 4:00 pm to 8:30 pm and Friday to Saturday until 9:00 pm, the venue is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Free street parking is available, and call‑ahead seating ensures a smooth arrival. In addition to dinner service, 329 Bar & Grill hosts private events in its lounge and offers catering for weddings, corporate lunches, and family gatherings, tailoring menus to each occasion. Whether you’re a local looking for a reliable steak night or a visitor after a day on Lake Hartwell, the restaurant promises quality food, attentive service, and a welcoming Southern vibe.
