    Absolutely a must visit during the holidays! This bar is all decked out for Christmas. The detail all throughout the bar, amazing. Holiday drink and food specials. The small plate of Brussel sprouts was absolutely delicious. The bartenders were fabulous and attentive. Highly recommend checking out this spot.

    Amazing holiday pop up decor! Drinks were to die for. Everyone was friendly. There was trivia going on and shuffleboard was available along with some video games. Lots of people were there but plenty of standing room.

    Bar Mash is a place that fully embraces the holidays. It would be very hard to be a grinch when you see the entire placed bathed in Christmas lights with festive music playing and people laughing and having a great time. We had to order drinks off their holiday menu, and they did not disappoint! My wife tried the Heat Miser with Hangar 1 Vodka, pineapple, ginger beer, and habanero tincture. The drink resembles his flaming hair with a little red-light lighting up the ice. You can choose your heat level as well from mild, medium to hot, my wife chose the medium and it had a nice kick. I tried the other side with the White Christmas with Hangar 1 Vodka, Cointreau, rosemary simple, lemon, and white cranberry juice. It glittered like new fallen snow with a little white light to add to the glow. The cranberry provided a great festive flavor. For our appetizer we ordered off the happy hour menu and got the chips and queso for only $5, but we added chorizo for just $2 more. The queso was very flavorful with the right amount of spicy chorizo throughout. My wife ordered the steak sandwich off the Factory Classics menu. It came with shaved beef, onion, arugula, green tomato aioli, on a cheddar rosemary hoagie roll and a side of chips. The steak was nice and tender and that hoagie roll was spectacular. Finally, I order the Reindeer Chilli, which of course was not reindeer and chili was misspelled to add the "chill" factor. Why this is not a regular item I don't know. It was beef prime rib, kidney beans, cheddar, scallions, and sour cream. It literally had hunks of prime rib, and the flavor was warm and inviting enough to melt any grinches heart. So, if you are looking for a place filled with the holiday spirit offering great drinks and food head out to Bar Mash!

    1st stop on our Happy Hour Tour of places to try. Bartenders were friendly, prices were great, seating is plentiful. We didn't try any of the food but it smelled wonderful and the portions were a good size from what we saw. There are many different themed nights to try out here. Looking forward to checking out Ramen & Trivia Tuesdays! We will be back!

    Their holiday pop-up was pretty cute, if not a bit cramped. It was pretty popular! They did a great job with their Xmas vibe. Their seasonal cocktails had a distinguishing flair to their normal counterparts like Moscow Mules, Espresso martinis, and mulled cider. Definitely worth checking out this event while it lasts, including the seating space.

    This might be my favorite bar in Charleston. It's dark. It's moody. The service is great, the prices are great and the food is great bar. The bartenders are always knowledgeable about their amazing bourbon and liquor selections. They also often have special menu items for certain themes and seasons. The cocktail menu is diverse and if you're looking for a lowkey hidden cocktail bar this is your place. I love the bocce ball court and the shuffleboard table. It's a great place to go on a date or with friends. It's casual and fun and has something for everyone. They have weekly trivia and other specials throughout the week. They also have a good happy hour menu with drink specials and food specials. The cheese dip is a perfect compliment to the high life pitcher :)

    The best Christmas pop up! Drinks are worth it. There's an extensive eclectic variety in liquors and zero proof drinks. The holiday pop up is always my favorite place to go. Because of social media it seeks to be way busier than normal. A line starts forming around 4:00 as of right now. Be ready to wait because there is security and capacity is 60 ppl. Wait isn't bad though! Definitely recommend it!

    Come here!!!!! Come again! This was hands down one of the best visits we have had in recent months to almost any establishment. Thank you for making a random Wednesday adventure one to shout about. So let's start the shouting!!!! 1st, FREE PARKING in downtown Chas. This great little place has a dedicated parking lot. They share it with a few different businesses but we had no problem finding a spot. 2nd, Such a Vibe!!! The restaurant is attached to the bigger Mercantile but like a smaller, cooler spot. Inside is made for small intimate drinks and bites. We were on a date night but we also saw buddies grabbing drinks and girlfriends catching up. Everyone just fit. Huge props to the two bartenders. Both were kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. 3rd, The FOOD! These burgers were amazing. So good! And the fries......so many fries! All served hot and delicious. You can absolutely tell nothing sat in the kitchen but came directly to table. Also, while chatting with another customer, the bartender overheard us mention Euchre. Guess what?? They hold Euchre tournaments on Tuesday!! No cost, just come and play. I'm absolutely coming back for this event.

    Jazz jamz

    4 stars for the cool jazz band that was playing outside and the helpful staff on the inside... The place is spacious, clean and outside, plenty of outdoor seating. I'd even call it community-like picnic tables. I ate a small snack, the falafel was actually pretty good. And my draft beer was also, but I can't remember which one I ordered... This is why I always put notes in my photos...apparently that night I was too into the Jazz Jamz to take too much time away from intently listening. Great spot, definitely would go again.

    Prime rib special on Monday
    Craig S.

    Great chill classy bar with some great happy hour specials on drinks and apps. The vibe is trendy with a bocce court and table top shuffleboard indoors. Some nice picnic table seating outside. They run weekly events/specials: for example, Monday has a great prime rib, Tuesday run club, Thursday bar trivia, etc. The bar staff is friendly and helpful for their large liquor menu options. Parking is usually a breeze with the cigar factory shops and stores. Check it out, Cheers!

    My running club hosts weekly bridge run/walks that start and end at Bar Mash, and we love this venue. Many of us stick around for food and drinks afterwards, as they have outdoor seating. Plus, the service, food, and drinks have always been wonderful. Mash has craft cocktails for refined palates, but we usually stick with beer, wine, and food. During the winter months, Tuesday is ramen night, and in the summer months, Tuesday brings taco specials. Bar bites like curly fries, nachos, pretzels, and brussels sprouts are perfect for sharing with friends. The happy hour is from 4-6 and can't be beat, especially those $5 daquiris. The bar also hosts live music and trivia if that's your thing. The large parking lot is another plus, although spaces can be tight if you drive a large vehicle.

    Mash Burger
    Christian C.

    Came here for happy hour with some friends and loved the deals they had. The burger was really good especially for the fact that it was less than $10. I got a side of generously portioned fries too. The burger itself had a delicious bacon jam. One of my friends is a big fan of bourbon and apparently their selection was great and very reasonably priced too.

    Attended the Halloween Party. Cool venue that also has games for customers to play. Great food! Good variety of beer, wine, cocktails, sandwiches, & appetizers. Bartenders very friendly & accommodating.

    Excellent whiskey selections and bar tenders that know their whiskey. Ask for recommendations!

    BEST SHUCKED OYSTERS IN TOWN. You read that right. Aside…read morefrom fantastic taste and 2/3 being local oysters, there was not one piece of shell in any of them. Also they were completely disconnected from the shell so they just slid right out. The house cocktail sauce is also insane and is actually forcing me to go back to get the shrimp next time. Incredible horseradish spice and a lot of lemon. The tuna tartare is 5 star. Honestly a tie with bar167 for best in town tuna tartare. The dressed oyster is fun but next time I'll ask if there's an up charge for caviar instead of ikura. It was quiet on a Saturday so head over there so we don't lose them.

    Service was great! Our server, a young lady, was one of the best we've had in years…read more Place has great atmosphere, but has recently merged with the restaurant next door (they connect through the lobby of what seems to be a boutique hotel). That side (I believe it's called Landmark) has an even better atmosphere and is very warm and romantic. We were looking though for an '''oyster bar" experience, and the menu's have been merged. If I remember correctly, there was only one variety but the dozen we had were excellent as was the Tuna Crudo. Our daughter"s fish dish (I think it was tilefish - was amazing). My wife and I got the pasta with seafood special. I think the seafood part was really lacking. The pasta shells themselves were perfect, the sauce a little bland. Overall a very nice restaurant and meal, but somewhat pricey for what we got. And definitely not an "oyster bar" any longer.

    Came here for my friend's bachelorette trip and I must say, NOT a good experience. I had called…read moreprior to to inquire about a private area to karaoke to thoroughly enjoy doing karaoke as a group. I'm beyond glad this option was available because I don't believe we would have had a good time had we just participated in a public setting trying to karaoke. What I will say is that $100 per hour to reserve this space is a joke. We booked this private area for $200. We were enclosed in by a curtain and had to compete with the music and noise from the bar and others singing karaoke. We were literally placed in a 4x4 space (a bit exaggerated, but not big AT ALL). The space contained 1 tv screen, a computer, 1 microphone, 4-5 broken bar stools, an inflatable guitar, an exit door, another door to storage space, and the smell of old spilt liquor and urine. Not the most pleasant setup to pay $200 for. BUT we made the most of it considering the amount had already been paid. We were interrupted multiple times by employees fetching things from the storage closet and random guests who wanted to peek through the curtains to see what was on the other side. I believe my expectations were high based off prior experiences of booking private karaoke rooms at other establishments and assuming this would meet the standards.

    Came here towards the very end of my night and wanted to pop in and see how it was. I signed up but…read morethere was a handful of people in front of me so I didn't know if I would get to sing. I'm sure the vibes change from day to day with the crowds but I'd say there was a variety of people there, older, college kids, bachelorette party, wedding party. It definitely gives dive bar energy and drinks are affordable which was nice. Everyone was quite friendly there and it's a great place to just be a spectator if you don't like to sing. lol I actually got called up to sing just before they shut down and everyone was really vibin! I'll need to come back because I didn't get to spend much time there but all in all it was a fun time even going solo.
