“Cool place close to downtown. You order at the bar and you pick your food up and take it to your table. You also clean your dishes and toss your trash when done. If you want white linens and table service, this is not going to be your jam. We were there for lunch and there were only a few folks scattered around. Food was good! Burgers were delicious. Bartender was friendly, bathrooms were crazy but clean, outdoor seating was nice. We would go back.“

The Purple Buffalo Bar • $
2702 Azalea Dr, North Charleston - 8.01 miles

“The Purple Buffalo Is a pretty nice cozy place. The only thing is the bathroom is awful. The doors don't look, toilet paper on the floor, it was just a nasty bathroom. A nice establishment like this should have someone tend to the bathroom throughout the night. Nothing like a nasty bathroom to turn someone off. Keep the bathroom clean and up to par. People will always talk about a clean bathroom.“

Miller High Life

“Visited on a Wednesday night - decent size crowd. Was supposed to be karaoke night, but they didn't have it due to plumbing issues.Ordered several beers, a Jack & Coke, and a Mule. Cocktails were decently made. Prices very reasonable.Service was good and attentive. Fun, divey atmosphere. Would recommend for a fun drink (or several).“

Big Mike's Clam Chowder

“My dad and I had a pit stop in Charleston and stopped in for a drink. Unfortunately for us, it was just at closing time (10! Not 10:30 as written). We had just enough time for one round but the place was still lively. Our bartender, Shawn (Sean?) was such a wonderful guy and made us feel so welcome despite it being last call. A true locals dive in the best sense of the word.“

Cutty's Bar • $
227 St Philip St, Charleston - 7.2 miles

“A nice little "hole in the wall" bar that always has good drinks and friendly staff. The place is decorated in signs and stickers, which will keep your eyes entertained for a while. The place is pretty clean, and the bartenders do not skimp on the alcohol. The prices here are great, especially when comparing them to bars just down the road. There's also pool, pinball, and an arcade game inside if you're into that. Overall, a great place to hang out to begin or end the night.Parking: It can be pretty difficult to find parking. I recommend getting an Uber.Kid-friendliness: Not the place for kids.“
