The 10 Best Bars & Clubs in Charleston, South Carolina (SC)

December 26, 2021 Timmy Ribble

Historic Charleston is bursting with Southern charm and hospitality. The city feels a bit like it’s suspended in time, thanks to its antebellum architecture and surrounding plantation landscapes. Take in incredible views of the Battery and the French Quarter as you stroll the Waterfront Park, then become inspired by the cultivated beauty of the gardens at Middleton Place. At night, try a ghost tour for an introduction to the spooky side of the city.

This was a fun place to go. A small dive bar with dollar bills stapled all over the walls. The fish and chips were so good! We also had a southern Reuben! It was delicious . Would definately recommend.

Barsa Tapas, Lounge, & Bar

Reviewed By K8660OIlaurenw - Hilton Head, United States

This is my favorite restaurant in downtown Charleston. The seafood paella is definitely the best menu item (in my opinion). If you have ever been to Spain, the authenticity of the cuisine does not disappoint. The service is always outstanding. The ambiance of restaurant just enhances the experience even more. 10/10 recommend.

Moe's Crosstown Tavern

Reviewed By lowcountry101 - Charleston, United States

This is our go-to favorite joint. 1/2 price Tuesday burger night, great rotating beers on tap, homemade chips, sports on TV's, and friendly attentive staff help make this neighborhood institution a gem. Have a craving or just grabbing lunch? You will find yourself returning to try a different menu item. My favs are the Buffalo chicken wrap, crab cake sandwich, and black & blue burger just to name a few. Great food, cold beer, great staff, reasonable prices.

The Cocktail Club

Reviewed By sunnycali33

Go here!!! I cannot talk about the amazingness of this place enough. The ambiance, the warm greeting, the great service, the great drinks, the tasty alcohol...I love it. They are taking every precaution for the health and safety of its patrons. Julia was an amazing waitress as well. When the cucumber drink they had on the menu was going to be too spicy for me, she spoke with the bartender & they put together something that worked wonders. It was tasty, had just the right amount of alcohol in it & more. Thank you for making this a great experience!
