What to do and see in Downtown, South Carolina (SC): The Best Nightlife
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.

Check out our one-of-a-kind Original Pub & Brewery Tours of Charleston! Based upon similar beer tours in Europe, we have been featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Wall Street Journal. The Pub Tour is a fun and unique tour, which includes visits to many historic pubs (some with rooftop views of the city), old taverns frequented by pirates, breweries haunted by ghosts, and a large dose of Charleston's history. Our exclusive Brewery Tours highlight Charleston's local craft beer scene and are a great way to sample a variety of local brews while hearing the fascinating story behind Charleston beer, with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of several local breweries. The Original Pub & Brewery Tours are definitely the most exciting way to experience the city and everything LOCAL! We often sell out quickly so we recommend making reservations in advance. We accommodate groups of all sizes and will customize any group/event tours to your specific needs. Cheers!
4. The Brick

4.0 based on 65 reviews
One of Charleston’s favorite taverns, The Brick, is back at a new location near upper King St. after a fire burnt down their original spot on East Bay St. in 2013. They may have been gone for four years but they returned without missing a beat. Guests can enjoy: crowd pleasing burgers and bar food, cold beers and fresh cocktails, $4 happy hour every weekday, 10 flat screen TVs, bar games, free wifi, and a large outdoor dog friendly patio. On the weekends there is free live music at night, and ends with their Sunday Funday signature Bourbon Bacon Brunch. The Brick is located at 24 Ann St. across from the Charleston Visitors Center.

Nice sports bar, pub located next to parking for the information center where the city bus tours leave from. I had boneless wings and fried pickles and the wife had crab cakes and fried green tomatoes. Both were very good! Nice friendly staff and a great craft beer selection. Looks like a fun place to hang out!

She-Crab Soup is to die for. It's my 2nd time here and I had to have the soup one more time. Delicious, rich and flavorful with nice chunks of crab. Crazy busy and the staff was friendly and attentive. Live music was such a treat. Will be back, again, next time I'm in Charleston.
