Yes, it is as amazing as the others mentioned. You can stop looking for another cocktail bar now, this is on your must-see/try short list. With some of the best well-crafted balanced cocktails you'll find anywhere, coupled with an amazing staff, you'll want to visit again, trust me.

Me and my husband recently stopped in at Doar brother's while exploring downtown Charleston. We sit at the bar, the atmosphere inside was very relaxing and almost romanatic with dim candle lights and soft music. The hostess, who was also the bartender, was very welcoming, informative, and very pleasant and fun to talk with. She was very good at her craft, a drink artist, all of our drinks were as beautiful as they were delicious. Out of all the bars we had drinks at in downtown, it was our favorite for vibe and drink quality, especially for the price point. We even came back at the end of the night to have another round of drinks before heading back to our room, this time we had a male bartender and he was equally as good at his job and pleasant as his female counterpart.We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely stop in again while in charleston!

The best dish we had in Charleston is here. You must have the Brown Butter Popcorn. It’s better than anything I’ve had in Charleston. Then, add in that their bourbon selection is well-priced and impressive and this is truly a gem. Wow.

Didn’t have the food but my wife and I each enjoyed 2 of the best cocktails we’ve ever had. We watched Adam Doar, co-owner, masterfully managing the many folks who stepped in hoping to get a seat in this limited space gem.

Fantastic and unique cocktails, an impeccable staff, and delicious popcorn! What more can you ask from an incredible cocktail bar. Thanks Doar Bros, for a great time.
My husband and I came here twice during our 4-day stay in Charleston because the cocktails were that good. Their popcorn is delicious and their bread pudding is the best we’ve ever had! Adam, one of the owners, is so friendly & pleasant. He gave us some local recommendations and greeted us again on our second visit. We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in Charleston! Thank you for your hospitality!

So nice, we went back for seconds in our 3 day trip.My wife and I originally had reservations before dinner the first night to have some drinks and food. Adam greeted my wife by name, having remembered messaging with her on IG l, and thanked us for being there. Adam said it like he truly meant it and typically I only get that from my mom and dad.My wife got the Bourbon & Clyde and I got the Doar Bros. Manhattan, which had recently been updated to an Oxtail fat washed Rye, which was a big part of the reason I ordered it because you don’t often get fat washed whiskey. Both did not disappoint. The silkiness of the rye was incredible. The drink was very balanced, exactly what you would ask for in a great cocktail. It was hard to decide what to get and we couldn’t get it all because we wanted to be able to walk out of there and be able to go back for drinks another time. Decisions.We also got the Holy Mole Clarified Milk Punch. The attention to detail on their punches here is a sign they really care about great quality cocktails. The shrimp and the Brown Butter Popcorn were both great. Truffle, butter, and popcorn… What’s not to like?We ended up back here the next night after we finished dinner and the place we planned to go to afterwards was hard to get a seat at. We knew we loved Doar Bros so we went back. I’m so glad we did.Adam greeted us again and thanked us for coming back. He was able to seat us at the bar and we hung there for a bit. I got the Card-A-Mom and my wife got the Old Cuban. Both had great flavor profiles. Old Cuban was bright and the hint of bubbles makes it feel special. The Card-A-Mom was fresh from the citrus, then you get the Yellow Chartreuse and just a hint of spice from the black tea at the end. We got the assorted cheese tray, which was delicious. Cheeses and accoutrements were a great selection and the bread was fresh and soft.I got a second drink that night and asked for dealers choice and the bartender made me something off the cuff. Calvados, Cocchi Americano, citrus and a spritz of Absinthe made this the perfect night cap. Let’s call it a Charleston Corpse Reviver No. 2, although it was not named. The bartender was very friendly and still making drinks with ease. That’s a great bartender, i.e. literally tending to the bar.All the drinks and food you could tell has had serious thought put into them.Can’t wait to go back. If you even read this far, go here. Then go again. Keep going and leave them a great review so we can come back on our next trip.
As good as it gets for a quick & interesting cocktail on the peninsula. Definitely your best bet if you’re down by the market area (for whatever reason), Doar Bros is a tiny spot with limited seating but somehow always has a table available when I’ve been. Super interesting menu of classics and stuff pushing the boundaries, every drink I’ve had is fantastic. This intimate place feels classy, your drinks will look classy, and that’s all a winning combo to bring you a nice night.

Great spot for a pre or post dinner cocktail. We went post dinner on a Wednesday night and we're able to walk in without reservations. Small intimate setting with a handful of tables and about 8 bar seats. We sat at the bar and had excellent cocktails and the cheeseboard. Definitely not a place for dinner but the cheese board was perfect "dessert" for us. Next time I will try the popcorn.

Excellent all the way around — cocktails, food, presentation, bartending, service, vibe, music! Go for the Hahn’s Provisions.
