    Specials Menu

    Friday special says $5 Sam & Sam seasonal, we asked the waitress if the special was active and she said "if the menu says it, then it is"; when we received the checks the drinks came up as $8 and when I asked the bartender, he said "no live music, so no special." Maybe I just don't understand how daily specials work, but nothing on the menu or in conversation with the staff hinted that the special price was conditional on live music playing. Scammed.

    Super Fun. Great Staff. Good Vibes. We stopped in Charleston Beer Works for a Sunday NFL game and had a great visit. The staff was friendly and helpful with craft beer selections. The bar had 50 taps for mostly local Charleston area craft beers and a few craft seltzers which was superb. The two floor and patio bar was bright, nicely decorated, and in a great downtown location. Next Charleston visit we will certainly stop in again.

    Typical sports bar atmosphere with many pours on tap and a patio out back. Bartender was nice and efficient. Wings were pretty good, very crispy and not abnormally sized ha. Teriyaki flavor was sweet and lemon pepper was salty. "Tacos Mexcellente" were two tacos - shaved ribeye, seared tuna, or chicken) with mango habanero, citrus cream, peach pico, & sesame seeds. I ordered shaved ribeye, but the texture was more like tender ground beef and pretty greasy. There was grease/liquid dripping with each bite. The tortilla was good, appeared to be a little toasted. In my opinion, the taco just has too much going on. It was hard to focus on one flavor (if that makes sense lol). The bartender recommended this year or two an hour or chicken so maybe I'll actually listen and try that next time.

    everything about this place was low-key mid. The vibes were mid. I can see this place to be enjoyable if there is a football game or basketball game on while you have a beer in your hand, but that's it. The service was nice though.

    I had the worst service this morning. The attending staff provided horrible service starting with not answering my question straight forward regarding how long it would take for my order to be made (I had a flight to catch). She kept saying "not long," when I asked for more specifics. She refused to come to my end of the bar to take my order. She just yelled at me from afar. Then she asked me to come to the register to pay (when there was an option to bring my bill). Lastly, when my order was up, she told me to get it out of the window. She had such a nasty disposition, however, when the next customer came in, she greeted him and told him about options. He sat in the exact seat I was in before getting up to pay. I left zero tip. She was so rude and unreasonable!

    A super casual place with an enormous selection of craft beer on tap. The printed menu is more up to date than Untappd, which is weird sinc either should be the other way around if you are a verified venue but otherwise, flights of 5oz pours made me happy. SARAH'S DUMPWINGS - buffalo style dumplings from our friends @sarah'sdumps. tossed in any of our buffalo sauces were a fun dish. Though their super hot sauce wasn't that crazy. The FRIGGIN' HUGE LOCAL PRETZEL - saffrron bakery soft baked pretzel twist served with beer cheese queso and beer mustard was good too. Service was good, but the place is small enough where if you need something from the bar it might be easier to just jump up and get it rather than waiting.

    Great wings, cold beer, big selection. Maury provided fantastic service. For a buddy's golf trip to Kiawah, was a fantastic start to our evening in Charleston. Maury may not be the father, but you can refer to him as Wing Daddy when you visit.

    We were in town and wanted a drink or two after dinner. We came in and happily joined their bingo night. It was a lot of fun! Good beers of course.

    Sungazer hazy IPA is the bomb. Sports bar so know that going in. Wings, beer, TV if that's what you're looking for, no problem.

Stopped in mid day on Saturday and didn't have a reservation and had to wait about 15 minutes which isn't too bad. You can walk around the hotel while you wait. They had a specialty fall cocktail menu which was super cool. I ordered the Haunted Market Street Margarita and it was amazing. It had charcoal simple syrup and lava salt which gave it such an interesting flavor. We shared the Pimento cheese appetizer and I am so glad we ordered. It was so good and the presentation was beautiful. I don't normally enjoy pimento but I did here. My parents shared the turkey club and said it was great. Will always stop by when I'm in Charleston. Great place to watch a game if you can get a seat at the bar.

The service was warm and friendly, and their attitudes couldn't have been more pleasant. The pimento cheese was spot on and delivered by the executive sous chef herself. I have never had a Smashburger before, but if this is what I compare them all to this one is definitely a winner.

    Like many, my love for Southern Charm led me here. It's a cool spot! The decor is unique and fun…read more We only stopped in for a drink and an app. We had the Grilled Onion Dip which was bomb, and I had the Hot Honey Margarita. It was also tasty! I think the menu could use a few more options, but what they do offer allows for a wide range of palates. This was one of the reasons we opted for an app and drink. It's definitely different than other places in the area. I do agree with other reviewers that it's a bit crowded and small inside for a typical dinner spot. Our server, Emily, was wonderful, though! I might go here more often as a local, but I'm not sure I'd make another trip as an out-of-towner, although I'd love to see Molly sing here! Sad we missed her.

    By the way, I've never heard of "By the Way" ... see what I did there?? lol…read more One of my girlfriends celebrated her bday here and although I rarely come back downtown on the weekend, I wouldn't have missed her celebration for the world. Free parking on the street is of course, scarce but there is a paid parking lot nearby. Downtown as a whole, needs more accessible parking anywho. Upon walking inside, it's really cute and reminds me of the classier, bougie big sister of a neighborhood bar. Some of the servers were helpful, some not so much. We had a great table right slab dab in middle of the restaurant. There weren't too choices to choose from as a gluten-free girlie but the summer salad with grilled chicken was pretty tasty. Prices aren't terrible but we had no idea that we couldn't pay individually. We all had to send money to the birthday girl and she paid with her card.
