If I could give it 10 stars I would. I absolutely love a walk down Hutson alley and a stop off at Charlestons Smallest Bar. The staff is always so wonderful and they make great drinks despite having a small space. read more

Eddie is the man! Very inviting, great salesman. Love this place! Played some Jinga with some people from Nebraska, met a couple from Boston. The Hushpuppies were delicious. Great little spot while we waited for The Elovaters concert at The Charleston Music Hall Definitely stop here and chill out in the alley, you wont be disappointed! read more

Busiest Smallest Bar in Charleston. Thanks to Scotty, @yelp and one of the finest bartenders in town known as Eddie. Located down a cozy little alley full of great restaurants which is where Eddie ordered us some yummy appetizers. Also right next to the Music Hall known for excellent entertainment. So glad to know of such a quiet little place in downtown Charleston full of exciting things to do. read more

Eddie is the best!! My second time here and I will still come back. Eddie always take care of his guests Ordered the Hudson Hooch for me and my friend Kim she liked it but needed something stronger. We ordered off the Happy Hour menu but the prices were the same as the menu so no real discount on the food- Management where is the deal. I ordered the mussels(ok needed more flavor) and the Fish Tacos were filled with fresh fish with the slaw and a tasty sauce. My guests had the Buffalo tacos and Kim loved her Manchego Oysters read more

What a fun place for a drink or to meet with friends after work on a Friday! Charleston's Smallest Bar has so much character and a fun vibe! I was lucky enough to visit during a Yelp event and tried their Hutson Alley Hooch drink, SO good! I snagged a chair at the bar and quickly made friends with the bartender and other patrons. Even though the bar is small, there is plenty of seating outside in the alley. They have Jenga, a small foosball table, cornhole, and good music! We were a larger party so we decided to eat at Coast, next door. I highly recommend this bar for a pre-game if you're going to an event at the Music Hall or looking for a low-key place to hang with friends. read more

Charleston's smallest bar with Bartender Eddie was a fun place to visit. Only 4 bar seats and this cozy little place. Outdoor seating area along the alley has different games for you to entertain yourself . Music playing in the ally way makes it a fun place to gather with friends. The bar itself has a small variety of alcohol choices . No tap beer. The Hutson Alley Hooch was delicious. The shrimp cocktail was yummy. They do offer a small appetizer menu as well a as food from Coastal seafood. Order your drink and food at this small bar and it delivered to you a short time. Wonderful atmosphere. Challenge is parking since it is located downtown Charleston. I do recommend you visit this small bar if you are In the Charleston area. read more

Came here for my 1st Yelp event! It's exactly what it sounds like...a small fun bar! The Hutson Alley Hooch was a delicious and mouthwatering cocktail! There are a few seats at the actual bar and then a few others outside. Bartender is fun to talk with too. read more

Stopped in for a quick brew, the bartender thought she was being funny, but honestly was just rude and offputting. Just needs to be reminded that she's in the customer service industry. It was awkward. read more

Staff are always extremely friendly! This is a cute little spot to stop and get a quick drink, especially if you are getting dinner nearby.

Walked up to the bar the girl was completely rude and obnoxious. kept belittling us I hope the owner fixes this on 7:18pm April 1st 2025. This girl was very inappropriate considering there are 10 bars in the next 20 feet we could have gone somewhere else. Don't like leaving reviews like this. read more

Love this gem! Eddie is friendly and personable. Drinks are yummy and flowing. Love the inside of this smallest bar but that they had additional seats right outside with games makes it so you can stay and relax longer than just a drink. There are snacks or food options for purchase if you're hungry too! read more

Stopped here before our show at Charleston music hall. Coast next door offers a full dining experience but we only had 30 minutes. Grabbed a few canned cocktails and "snacks" which are the appetizers off coast's menu. Crab dip with grilled bread, shrimp ceviche with chips, fries, congrejo ceviche (scallop & crab), and shrimp cocktail. All delicious! All 3 of us were full. Great service, great food, and great vibes. read more

Very recently discovered this joint via Yelp! (and boy I'm glad I did...) Couldn't ask for a more perfect hidden gem, tucked between some of the best places Charleston has to offer! Great place to pop over to before a show at the Charleston Music Hall or for a relaxing afternoon cool down. Eddie slings up some delicious drinks while festive music fills the air. He's a good conversation starter and can definitely toss up a good drink! Without much space inside and the entire alley to enjoy your beverages, there are even high-top tables with several games to meet your fancy! So come alone, make a new friend or bring a few of your own... always a fun time here at Charleston's Smallest bar! read more

Stopped here before a night of yelp events. Hospitality was incredible. We got the Hutson Alley Hootch, and it was great! It is not a sweat drink at all. Paired with hush puppies and some Jenga it was a great time! Parking is tough but street parking is free after 6. Perfect place to go before a show at the music hall! read more

If you blink, you'll miss it. While walking down Hutson Alley, be sure to keep an eye out for Charleston's Smallest Bar. It's located behind Rue de Jean and right before reaching Coast Bar & Grill. 4-5 stools at the bar inside what looks like it was probably a storage room for the other restaurants. The bartender was very welcoming and offers a few selections of canned & bottles drinks, as well as 2 frozen premade drinks. There is also a menu of snacks that would be great while possibly waiting for a table at one of the restaurants it's sandwiched between. There are a few bar top tables along the walkway with tabletop games. I had the mango flavored frozen cocktail, but it tasted more like OJ and needed a way more Mango puree. They carry one of my favorite canned cocktail brands, Cutwater. The selection at the time was low, so hopefully, they'll be restocked with the other flavors listed on their menu the next time I stop by. read more

Best Frozen Drinks and #1 Bartender. We Travel from Jacksonville Florida every year just to sit at the Bar and Drink their Hooch

Go see Eddie, where you can join in the fun or just sit back and watch it. This was the highlight of our evening out last night. So much laughter!! Oh, and he was quite resourceful, too! The fire for the s'mores went out and he knew just who to notify. They had a new propane tank installed within minutes. Go see Eddie! And ask him if he can guess your drink. read more

Went here recently and it is so small and cute. It was fun to sit outside even though it was cold out! I would definitely return for the vibes. read more

We found this spot in a cute little alley way. The bartender was awesome and this bar is really small. However, while small, it did have some hard liquor. It was raining when we stopped in so it was a perfect break to get out of the rain. I'd recommend coming here just to say you've been to the smallest bar in Charleston! read more
