Spring is just around the corner, which means more outdoor adventures. Taylors Mill is a fascinating collection of fun and unique businesses housed in a character-filled campus that dates to the 1920s.

The mill began as a bleachery, a place that bleaches and dyes stuff, and print works. While both businesses went out decades ago, the mill is alive and well. Today, they have more than 20 tenants, each offering many cool things.

If you’ve been itching to give ax-throwing a try, the Blue Ox Hatchet House makes it easy to have a good time, even if hitting the bullseye is harder than it looks. Make sure you have closed-toed shoes. You can also bring in food and drinks from the neighbors.

Speaking of neighbors, the Farehouse is a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. It’s a great place to build into your plans when you visit.

Next to the Farehouse is 13 Stripes Brewery, a 10-barrel brewhouse that operates every day of the week. With 2- taps and an awesome ambiance, 13 Stripes offers an awesome atmosphere and tasty craft brews.

If you’re in a gaming mood, stop by Pinky’s Revenge Arcade. This retro arcade and bar are a high school kid’s dream. Every arcade game you could want, plus pool tables, ski ball, air hockey, and gaming consoles from classics to modern-day fun. Pinky’s also hosts trivia nights, concerts, and more.

Taylors Mills is also home to fantastic makers like Maritime Supply Company, the Indigo Tribe, and Appalachian Spirit Folk Instruments. You can explore in person when they have their studio strolls, or shop online. These businesses are just a taste of what you can experience at Taylors Mill. There’s also CrossFit Taylors, the Mad Smash, and Model Trains Station. If you’re local to Upstate South Carolina, you must stop by. It’s also worth a day trip from East Tennessee or up from North Georgia. Plus, it’s right between two awesome Ingles stores, so you can stock up and fuel up for the drive home.

So, come to Taylors Mill and get ready for a good time.
