Shareable bites like the crispy calamari with a zesty citrus-curry aioli or bleu cheese potato chips wrap will keep everyone lingering long enough to discuss the latest work gossip or the ridiculous traffic that everyone else is sitting in not too far away on I-26. “Our house beers include Liberty Red and Liberty White ale, and we serve all types of microbrews in an attempt to focus on supporting most of the local breweries in South Carolina, but we carry lines from all over the U.S.” “New South Brewery, our sister brewery in Myrtle Beach, supplies the brand “house beers” for all of our restaurants,” said manager Tony Rametta. Or try something new in one of the microbrews that are Liberty-branded. Sangria, cocktails, a glass of wine, or buckets packed with ice and domestic beers are the perfect centerpiece for a table, besides the umbrella that provides just the right amount of shade. Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m., happy hour specials make for a good reason to stop by after work. If the weather is right, there’s no reason not to sit outside to enjoy the scenery, whether from the upstairs or the lower deck.
For the rudderless among us, there’s plenty of parking for cars too. It’s easy to spot though, with the neon glow of the Liberty sign on the roof shining a beacon out for hungry boaters. Not many other restaurants in the Midlands can boast a boat-up option and many people take advantage of this chance to pair an evening ride on the water with dinner out. It truly is possible to ride your boat over to Liberty and park on the water at one of their specially-marked spaces on Dock B that have flag flying, though shirts and shoes are required to dine.

Beyond the view and the desperately needed lake breezes that blow in from the water, Liberty’s menu and drink selections are enough to make downtown dwellers want to roll down the car windows and take a ride out towards Ballentine, where the restaurant sits in a cove on the northern shore of one of Lake Murray’s many fingers since opening in April 2013.

Giving full credit to the best reason for people to come, they have two stories worth of lakeside seating with views that sweep out beyond the docked boats, across the endless expanse of gently lapping water and the setting sun at the right time of day. Those and the cooler breezes off the water than we get elsewhere, and the ever-so-faint smell of fish and lake-iness in the air are reasons enough why people near and far are drawn to the 50,000-acred watery jewel we call Lake Murray.īut that’s where Liberty Tap Room & Grill - or informally, Liberty on the Lake - comes in for the boatless amongst us.
The blue sky reflects off of the lightly rippling water that grows choppy when boats whiz by one another, and the lush greenery cushioning the houses dotting the shores make for an intoxicating sight from anywhere along the shoreline. Life without a boat can make it a bit rough to enjoy lake living to the fullest. Cruise over to Irmo for a taste of lake life.
