Mesh - Spartanburg

We came here for a concert and stayed at the Spartanburg Marriott. Before the REO Speedwagon concert, we stopped by Mesh for a drink. The staff was incredibly attentive and provided excellent drink recommendations. I started with a Ketel One grapefruit rosé mixed with cranberry juice, while J opted for a Diet Coke and Bacardi with lime. Next, I tried a skinny margarita made with fresh agave, salt, and 1800 tequila, and J had an Eagle Rare on the rocks. It's great to know they’ll be open after the concert, so we'll definitely be back. Thanks to Mesh for kicking off our wonderful night!

We sat down, but no one acknowledged us. We waited and waited, and eventually received a menu, which was unimpressive. We decided to leave. I do not recommend this place.

A total disaster. The bartenders are both rude and incompetent! I was informed that outside food and drinks were not permitted, which is ridiculous considering I had just purchased a beer from them an hour ago, and they wanted to argue about it. The food is decent if you're dealing with a hangover—greasy and lacking in flavor.

I try not to leave bad reviews, because I travel for work and I generally don't think it's fair to judge a place off of one single experience. That said, I have been staying in this hotel every week for almost 6 months. The hotel is very nice, rooms are always clean, concierge lounge is decent and the staff there is always top notch. The restaurant Spark is decent, food is not bad. Service when they have it open is generally quick because it's rarely busy. That leads me to Mesh. When the hotel is at low occupancy, they close Spark and divert everyone to Mesh. No problem, I get it. However, they never have adequate staff and by that I mean the number and quality. The manager is often helping expedite or take orders for the one server trying to manage 40 covers by themselves. And the server, is generally terrible. Literally 2 out of 10 on multitasking ability. No pre-bussing, running one table at a time, ignoring new tables sat until they completely work out the current table. Tonight I decided to give them another shot because I didn't feel like leaving property and it was exactly like all the other times. I waiting for 18 minutes, for the manager and server to look at me and then walk by. I'll continue to stay at the hotel, but I refuse to spend money for dinner at Spark or Mesh. Breakfast service at Spark is good, but don't waste your time for dinner. You will be frustrated. Spartanburg has a surprisingly good food scene for a small town, so venture out. I'm at Lime Leaf getting Thai food, it's great. Or try The Kennedy, another place which is better money spent.

Great lounge on the ground floor of the Sparatanburg Marriott. This lounge has all the right stuff. Full bar, great bartenders (especially Bethany), TVs, pool table, Wii, couches, high tops, tables and a great main bar. You can order great drinks, appetizers and/or a fine meal. If your in Spartanburg and are staying at the Marriott make sure you enjoy this great lounge.
