I don't do nicotine, but they had literally everything from back when I vaped and sooooo much more!

Airavata proves that even great drinks can't redeem a toxic atmosphere. While the concept of a…read moresober bar is admirable and the drinks themselves were artfully crafted--a commendable highlight--the experience was sullied by the staff's glaringly unprofessional conduct and the insular demeanor of regulars. Having lost my father to alcoholism a little over a year ago, I made it clear to the staff that I was coming here in an effort to stay sober. Yet, despite my openness, I was met with condescension and disrespect. From the moment I walked in, it became painfully evident that this establishment operates less as a welcoming community space and more as a club for insiders. Newcomers, like myself, were treated with little more than cursory attention, while regulars were treated with a level of enthusiasm entirely absent in our interactions. Such favoritism not only undermines the inclusive ethos a space like this should cultivate but also leaves a sour taste that no well-made mocktail can counteract. More troubling, however, was the blatant misogyny on display. Comments and attitudes that should have no place in any modern business were casually served up alongside the drinks. As a patron, it is profoundly uncomfortable to watch staff engage with women--particularly those unfamiliar to them--with condescension or thinly veiled disrespect. It was a stark reminder that no matter how progressive an idea might seem, it can still harbor regressive attitudes behind the counter. Worse still, the staff seemed to condone outright bullying. Whether through indifference or complicity, they allowed regular patrons to mock and belittle others--especially newcomers--without intervening. For a space ostensibly meant to foster connection and community, this behavior was not only disappointing but alienating. It's hard to feel welcome in an environment where hostility is tolerated and encouraged by silence. Adding to the dysfunction, the bartenders frequently abandoned the bar to cater to customers of the vape shop at the front of the establishment. Rather than keeping one bartender dedicated to the bar and one to the vape section, the constant back-and-forth disrupted the flow of service, leaving bar patrons waiting far longer than necessary. It was a poorly managed setup that made the space feel less like a haven for sober connection and more like an afterthought to a more lucrative business up front. In short, Airavata serves excellent beverages but fails to serve basic decency. For those seeking a truly inclusive, respectful environment, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. A great drink isn't worth enduring such toxic energy.

I heard her tell him that I "wanted a refund" I NEVER SAID THAT! I actually wanted to know if I was using it correctly, but I never got a chance to ask because the 2nd person (the guy) came at me with an even WORSE ATTITUDE!!! Some people should not work with the public. I never got a chance to explain the reason for my call because I couldn't get past the veil of ignorance that was on the other end. I haven't stepped a foot through their door since that happened! As a weekly visitor this store has lost thousands of potential earnings just from me alone. Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum may not care, but I'm sure the owner of the establishment may care much more. I have since shifted my business to Palmetto Re-Leaf on Saint James in Goose Creek. They are patient and professional! Palmetto Re-Leaf also has higher quality and dosages on gummies so that you get more for your money! Palmetto Re-Leaf has been my new go-to for quite some time now. To the owners: Please use this as teaching moment for your employees.

I stopped by West Ash Cigars this week after talking to Steve on the phone. When I asked if he…read moresmoked a pipe, he said yes -- and told me to come by while he was there since he knows the most about pipes. I'm glad I did. Steve went above and beyond. He took the time to sit down with me and walk through different types of pipe tobacco, blends, leafs, and cuts. Then we got into pipes themselves -- I brought one of mine, and he helped me discover it's an English pipe from the mid-70s made by Comoy, called the Everyday Man Pipe (Canadian shape, model 299). Turns out I've been sitting on a little treasure! I ended up picking up a few different tobaccos, and I'll definitely be back. The shop has a great selection, and the vibe is just as good -- while I was there, they greeted everyone who walked through the door by name. I also met Daryl, another great guy who clearly loves what he does.
