Fam's Brewing Co.

Fam's Brewing Co., on Folly Road on James Island, opened in 2017 and pairs a working brewery with Famulari's Pizzeria under one roof. It's a brewpub built around both beer and pizza, and locals also search for it as Famulari's or simply Fam's.

The pizza program is the draw for many visitors, with both Chicago-style deep dish and New York-style thin crust on the menu, alongside burgers, calzones, and stromboli. That kitchen sits behind 20 beers on tap and two full bars, so there's plenty of room to spread out.

The space is large, and a spacious biergarten extends the seating outdoors. The patio is dog-friendly, with staff known for keeping water bowls on hand, which fits the brewery's neighborhood, family-oriented feel.

Fam's has picked up a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice nod and maintains strong review scores, and it reads as a true James Island gathering spot rather than a tourist stop. With food, beer, indoor and outdoor seating, and a kid-friendly atmosphere, it works for a quick pint or a full family dinner on the way to or from Folly Beach.
