One of my favorite happy hours in Charleston! Fantastic atmosphere, amazing drinks, and friendly service. We had the So What? and a margarita, plus the mezze plate and a few oysters. Loved all the food and drinks. Freshly made, excellent ingredients, and beautiful presentation. read more

We originally had our sights set on the oyster bar down the street, but a 30 minute wait nudged us around the corner and it turned out to be a very happy detour. We were seated right away, which already felt like a small Charleston miracle. From there, everything flowed. The service was fantastic, warm without hovering, and the food arrived with confidence. I especially appreciated the NA beer option, a thoughtful touch that didn't feel like an afterthought. The surprise star was the salad. Truly outstanding. Incredibly fresh, generously portioned, and topped with crisp pita croutons that added just the right texture and flavor. It's the kind of salad you keep thinking about after the plate is cleared. The burger was also excellent, well balanced and great quality meat. The only miss for me was the crab pasta. Unexpectedly so. I was hoping for more savory, creamy depth, and the noodles leaned a bit too soft. Still, that single note didn't dull the experience. Everything else was top tier, and we'll absolutely be back. read more

Decent atmosphere. Food and drinks took a bit to come out and was alright. Nothing to rave about for the mains. Oysters were good and loved that they had small "tiny tini" options for those who don't want a full martini read more

We had such a great experience at Bar 167! The appetizers were absolutely fantastic, and the cocktails were some of the best we've had in Charleston. Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. They accidentally put more on the side than we requested with our chicken gyro wrap, and he immediately took care of it by removing the entree from our bill. He even comped one of our cocktails, which was such an unexpected and appreciated gesture. His kindness and genuine hospitality really made our experience. The upstairs bar has an amazing ambiance--stylish, lively, and the perfect place to enjoy drinks and dinner. Between the excellent food, creative cocktails, outstanding service, and beautiful atmosphere, we'll definitely be back! read more

Very expensive upscale cocktail / oyster bar you can never get into without reservations. But the oysters and espresso martinis are top notch. You can easily spend 200.00 in less than an hour here. Parking is impossible find a parking garage and save time. Caviar cones are a must try item. read more

This was hands down one of our favorite dinners on the bachelorette party! This place is worth every wait. We walked around and shopped a little while we waited. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was so Charleston. They had some of the best oysters, so fresh! We're from Texas so a good lobster roll is not something we get often and we've traveled to the East Coast and all their seafood was definitely comparable! We can't wait to go back to this place! read more

This was perhaps my favorite meal while visiting Charleston! I know for certain that this was the best fish sandwich I've ever had in my life! It consisted of crispy halibut with some incredible sauce and house made pickles. The salad on the side was super fresh and packed with toppings one might not usually get when ordering salad out at a restaurant. While the bartender wasn't very friendly or warm, he was extremely helpful with drink selection and made an excellent cocktail! The atmosphere was lively, bright and interesting. I will absolutely prioritize a stop here the next time I visit!! read more

Updating as this remains an excellent choice! Always a good option for happy hour deals as well as a nice date night out. The staff are always friendly and food well paced. The fattoush is so well prepared as are their scallops. Small note is that the lamb skewers can be a bit over charred and overwhelm the dish. read more

Amazing food! I thought this was some of the best food I've had in Charleston. Best calamari I've ever had! Service was excellent. Make reservations in advance. I'll definitely be going back. The only downsides are that it's annoyingly dark inside and it's super loud. The tables are so close together that me and my friend were yelling to hear each other. We went home with a headaches from the noise. I'll be back on a less-busy day for some wonderful food. Priced well. read more

4.5 Stars I had dinner here on a Monday evening, and was seated right away at the bar. The menu is a fusion of seafood and Mediterranean items. The Salt Cured Beet Salad ($16) was bright and beautiful and had a Mediterranean flair (fried cumin and tahini dressing - very nice combination of flavors). The Crab Roll ($30) was LOADED with fresh crab on a buttery brioche roll. I wish the chips the better - or maybe it was good that they weren't or else I would have eaten them all lol. The presentation of everything was gorgeous. Staff was lovely and the interior is stunning - breezy, South Carolina island vibes. read more

We meant to go to the Oyster bar, but walked into this sister restaurant instead. It's more of a bar vibe, but still has a menu with oysters as well. I wasn't feeling the greatest during this Charleston visit, so we only got some appetizers to share (fries and hummus platter). Drinks were good, atmosphere was nice and the appetizers were also decent. Would have probably enjoyed the Oyster bar more, but still a good spot. read more

The Hungry Detective and Special Agent Deirdre along with friends had the most fabulous experience last night at Bar 167!!!. Let me start by saying if I could give 6 stars about the experience and wonderful service from Gabrielle I would!!! Gabby went above and beyond the call of duty and is a true gem and asset to your team!!! She selected some top shelf oysters and the Martini with 3 olives was right on the money with Cathead vodka ATMOSPHERE: This is the old Fulton 5 locations, which was the most romantic spot in Charleston back in the day and still has great bones and layout!!! Check out the upstairs bar area...super cool vibe!!! CUISINE: We had the shrimp and calamari to start and it was perfect. The Mac and Crab was cooked to perfection accompanied with the lamb skewers AKA: "GHETTO SURF N TURF" VERDICT: BAR 167 IS GUILTY AS SIN FOR DOING IT TOO PERFECTION EVERY TIME WITH CONSISTENT SERVICE AND FOOD!!! read more

Bar167 - Fish of the Day - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Terrible experience. I ordered the octopus and steak frites -- the octopus was so tough it felt like biting into rubber. The steak was a small end-cut, overcooked to well-done despite being ordered (and reviewed by others) as medium-rare. This place lacks a great deal; they need to clean up their kitchen and their standards. Their customer experience also needs improvement ( bartender ) and the young hostess was the rudest thing ever read more

Unfortunately we were all super disappointed by our experience this evening. Started with an hour wait and mediocre service once we got in. Something wrong with every part of our dishes. The calamari was good but super salty. The house made linguine didn't have much crab at all, but flavors were tasty. The bucatini was just every weird. It was very underdone, and no it wasn't even al dente, and the pine nut taste lasted in my mouth the rest of the night. The worst part of the meal was the fish of the day which was a pesto halibut that was pan seared. It was severely overcooked and lacked any flavor. The potatoes were covered in cumin and not in a good way. Maybe we messed up by not trying any oysters or drinks but I definitely wouldn't go back for any of these things. read more

Being somewhat still full from lunch this was a great place for a light dinner. The SPANISH OCTOPUS - Chorizo & sofrito potatoes, kalamata purée, herb salad was amazing, as was the WAGYU CARPACCIO - Gremolota, cured egg yolk, candied walnuts, shallot, thai basil. The table also shared the MEZE PLATTER - Rotating cheese, hummus, whipped tzatziki feta, pita, house marinated olives, raw honeycomb which was great too. Service was outstanding and the place itself feels like a hidden getaway. Coming in the entrance and snaking around to the main dining area, you are still open to the outside air, and it seems like there is an upstairs area too. read more

Fun place for a quick drink or happy hour! Nice wine choices and great service! Atmosphere is good too!

Bar 167 is an outstanding spot that combines a vibrant atmosphere with top-tier service. From the moment you walk in, the energy of the place stands out--lively, welcoming, and perfect for a night out. The service was fantastic throughout, attentive without being overbearing and clearly focused on creating a great experience. The highlight, though, was the oysters. They were incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and expertly prepared right in front of you. That added element of watching the preparation made the experience feel interactive and memorable, not just another meal. If you appreciate great seafood, a fun atmosphere, and service that elevates the entire visit, Bar 167 is definitely worth checking out. read more

Small, quaint bar with a lower level and a rooftop terrace. After strolling down King Street, we made a small detour to check out this side street bar and it didn't disappoint. I had the Fulton Street Rickey, which was absolutely refreshing for a warm day. Served with sprigs of mint and diced cucumber, it was perfect. The food menu is very much Mediterranean, although they also have a raw bar. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth checking out Bar167. read more

They need to update their online menu - no reason it should be out of date in today's world. Per server "oh we havent had that on the menu in a year!" First time in a while we had a drink and an app and bailed on a dinner. Also - when you get seated next to the only other occupied table in the place .... Just kinda weird and awkward. Disappointed for sure. Three stars is generous - one of the stars is just out of respect for the restaurant group and the general ambiance. read more

I could eat here every single day. The service is top tier, everyone is so helpful and happy. I love their wine selection and I haven't even started on the food. Raw 167 can have a bit more of a wait but this is a great option if you want a more casual environment but same great quality. The oysters are always a great choice and the watermelon salad is a 10/10. I have yet to have an experience here that didn't leave me wanting to come back for more. read more

Yum Yum Yum! When we first came into bar 167 I was a little skeptical looking at the menu as it was a little light. We ended up doing shared plates starting off with the seafood crudo then fungi fritti and finishing with housemate bucatini. The Crudo was so delicious and so well seasoned. I could have stopped there! The fried mushrooms were very large and the batter was a little sweet. We equated it to having funnel cake, fried mushrooms. It sounds weird, but it actually went together quite well. The Bucatini was delicious with small sea scallops, that didn't make the dish chewy but gave it that seafood pop. The atmosphere at the upstairs bar was so fun and the bar top is made of lit up seashells. The bartenders are very chatty and overall I would come here again. The location is not as easy to find as it is in an alleyway, but worth the parking down the street and walk over read more

We were so confused about which 167 we should go to but realized there are 3 different locations/versions that offer different food. We started with Bar 167 - the food was SOOOO good here. The caviar and oysters were so fresh, we enjoyed every bit of it. The mezze platter was got was filling and so flavorful. There was a 20 min wait but got seated quickly and service was great. It was busy but so lively. Would definitely come back - dream about this place often read more

I had most likely the best drink I've ever had in my life here. The tzatziki cocktail piqued my interest with dill, cucumber infused vodka, and the fact that it was clear but "milk based". It exceeded my expectations- I could not taste the vodka whatsoever. It tasted like an elevated cucumber water. The ambience in here is also so nice. The bar is beautiful and so bright. Servers were awesome! Their happy hour menu is one of my new favorites and it is from 3-5:30. True happy hour time in my opinion! I'm interested in trying the caviar cone next time I go which is caviar stuffed in a waffle cone! read more

This place was just okay. Although everything was presented very beautifully, the flavors were just eh. I've had worse and I've had better. I also thought it was a little pricey. Location was slightly off the beaten path and we had to walk a bit from where we parked. The drinks were decent. Place was pretty busy. The servers were not as attentive as we needed. I sat for a while without silverware with my food down in front of me. My mushrooms tasted pretty good at first (they're technically not vegan because they have honey), but then my stomach got turned off because there was some raw batter inside with some of the mushrooms, so I ended up not finishing my plate. I did tell the server. No one apologized nor did they take it off the bill. I also got the fattoush salad. I wanted to love it, but it was just a salad with too many croutons. I did appreciate that there was a vegan option though. The restaurant itself was cute and cozy. Probably won't ever be back though, as there's just too many fantastic options around. Separately, this was an anniversary meal. When I made my reservation, I mentioned that and they did provide a nice card when we sat down at the table. read more

We went to 167 the restaurant for lunch without a reservation and they quoted us a 1.5 hour wait, so we went around the corner to Bar167. We were immediately taken to a high top table to wait for a regular table. It was only about 20 minutes before we were seated... Not bad! We ordered a little bit of everything from the menu: a dozen oysters, the calamari, crab claws, ahi tuna, scallops, and the ahi rice dish. OMG everything was delicious!! The calamari tasted like it was covered in cheese it's... so yummy! We will absolutely be back next time we are in Charleston! read more

Enjoy the ambiance, come for the food, stay for the drinks, and maybe forget about the service for a bit. In all fairness I came here on a hot Saturday to one of those monstrous lines that makes most people think twice. Not me tho! I figured I was quite hungry, but I was more tired than anything and the King Street crowds deterred me from wanting to look further. The hostesses regarded me with ambivalence but upon finding I was a party of one took me to the bar and had me sit at the far end. No complaints as I like the end. The bartender that served me was having an off day. She struck me as someone who could have used some TLC over working because her spirit wasn't in it. She had to force a smile that would quickly fade, keep her eyes downcast, engage minimally, and sigh often. There was an ambiance that some event took the wind out of her but no amount of empathy relaxed her even an iota. The drinks were very good. They had unique, fun cocktails with flavor profiles I don't often see. Where Bar167 really shines is the food. I ordered the arroz con negro and wow! The rice was crunchy and sticky making a perfect companion to the delicious tuna. The mustard added a nice kick. I loved it! I also ordered the oysters, which like always was super good. Can't go wrong with oysters at a 167 location! read more

I had my coworker in town and she wanted to check out 167 Raw. Even though it was a rainy weekday afternoon, I knew it was a longshot as she had a flight to catch, but we walked by to check the wait times anyway. It was two hours and we didn't have that kind of time so we opted to find something else. I mentioned Bar167 around the corner and let her know I hadn't been, but we could check it out. We popped in and got a table immediately. Considering there was no wait and you get a similar vibe inside, this was a no brainer. Now you won't get the lobster roll or tuna burger here, but the menu had fantastic options to choose from. We started with the funghi fritti to share and we both loved it. The mushrooms had this super light batter an the pistachio sauce worked so well with it. I don't remember what kind of mushrooms they had in at the time, but they were big like lions mane and very flavorful. I think my friend got one of the specials, but I can't remember because I was enamored with my scallop dish. The dish came with five scallops that were a good size too and they were cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed this dish and would absolutely order it again. I often times have friends who want to try 167 Raw because of it's acclaim (and Yelp rating). That being said, it can be a hassle when it's so busy and they don't take reservations. I'll definitely keep Bar167 in mind as a backup moving forward. read more

Love the ambience and the location of Bar 167. The service is swift and the staff are willing to please. I had a little trouble with the food however. I ordered the Caesar salad with "grilled" chicken. There were some brown old pieces amidst the mix and was an immediate sign to me that things were not going to go well....Then the chicken~ presentation and taste not very appealing. The sliced chicken was served as cold slices! Oh no! But the good news is the kitchen is working on expanding their space and making some menu changes according to GM so that was good news! We Yelpers" need to express our comments and questions to the management of these food and beverage establishments - be it positive or negative - more times than not the management is willing to hear us and do what it takes to make some changes to the quality and appeal of their food. The menu is highlighted here and I have to report surrounding tables seemed please with their choices. The focaccia bread seemed to be a hit. As most of the items on the menu are cold, chilled or raw Bar 167 was really not my kind of place but I would recommend dining here. Around the corner on King Street is 167 Raw -their sister property - has more of a hot item menu of which I will try at a later date. read more
