    Decided to celebrate a birthday by doing a private tasting. We were created as soon as we came in multiple times and was taken to the tasting room within minutes. The room is small but a very nice space that takes you away from the noise of the bar. The quality of the bourbon and the information shared by CJ made this a great experience and one I would recommend. It was fun to chat with CJ and learn more about his experience working in the industry and Charleston. It was great to also be able to try their oysters, new slider, and wings. All of the dishes we got were unique spins on classics and flavors we wouldn't be able to get anywhere. All of the whiskeys were very smooth but we could definitely tell the higher proof ones. I also tried their house made ginger beer to have in case a chaser was needed and honestly it is the best ginger beer I've ever had! I can't wait to come back to try more of their drinks especially something with their ginger beer and other menu items.

    We came here after leaving a very crowded bar. This was our first stop in Charleston and it started us off well. The smoked fish dip was chefs kiss. The locals were friendly. We loved the music and the waiter had great drink suggestions. I'll keep this place in mind.

    Lovely little place with the perfect ambiance to drink cocktails. The staff were pretty cool & service is very quick. They have some damn tasty drinks too!

    Stopped here during the Rockabillaque festival. Great service and the bologna sandwich was particularly good! The burger I wouldn't eat again as it wasn't my favorite. Great bar and feel to the place.

    Paddock and Whisky has an inviting hip vibe. And an amazing selection of whisky. The menu is a few cuts above standard bar fare and highly recommended as well. We were lucky enough to sample some of the discounted whiskys that were being moved out for a seriously reduced price. The kitchen is open late and it is right in the vibrant heart of E. Montague Street in Park Circle. Highly recommended for some light food, excellent cocktails, and a great bourbon.

    This place so beautiful and very clean with a lot of beautiful wood features resembling wooden barrels for bourbon. Our bar tender was super friendly and helped us pick out perfect drinks to our preference. We didn't eat, but the food looks and smells amazing. Definitely will be back soon!

    One of my favorite places in park circle to have a nice cocktail. Great drinks, amazing atmosphere, and incredible staff! We are by no means regulars, but we've been to this location several times and are always impressed. This time we came on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of seating and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Their drinks are perfection and beautifully presented. We did get a basket of fries as an app this time and they were so delicious! Served very hot and the bearnaise sauce was good enough to lick the ramekin. They have a vast whisky and bourbon collection and bring the bottle to the table along with the glencairn. They have a full bar with nice wine options as well. I haven't had dinner, only a few apps but they are always excellent. We've never been disappointed here!

    This bourbon bar in Charleston is a favorite of ours, and we are sure we stop in at every time we are out that way. It's a relaxing place to have a drink and if you can get there for happy hour, do it! They have $9 Old fashioned featuring Elijah Craig. Bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable about all the bourbon offered and are happy to answer questions. There is a large bar area with seating but also little tables and booths inside the open concept. Plenty to look at as there is shelf after shelf filled with practically any bourbon you have heard of

    Park Circle has its own vibe and Paddock and Whiskey certainly add to the appeal of the street. Way cool floor-to-ceiling brick bar with some of the finer whiskey displayed on the higher shelves. Food is not only good but reasonably priced. I highly recommend the quartered chicken, which is roasted and then flash-fried P & W also has a happy hour that is truly a great deal. Reid one of the co-owners came to check on the table and made everyone feel welcome. Thank God I don't live that close or I would be there every day.

    we went here late night on monday at 10:30 and it was empty inside. we absolutely LOVED the ambiance inside. The music was amazing, the lighting was low and relaxing. The bartenders that night were nice and cordial but nothing more. They didn't try to talk to us at all, and we tried to strike up a convo once or twice but I guess they weren't feeling it. My friend got the Terrace Sour, and didn't enjoy hers that much unfortunately. As for me I got a specialty drink, the name I forgot but it had the word pirate in it. It was pretty good! I'd go back.

    Great little bar with very friendly bartenders and general manager! We had a great time and the drinks were awesome! We will be back!

    I am obsessed with Paddock & Whisky! My boss loves this place and I kept wanting to go but never making it...when I would pass by I assumed it was an Irish bar. It is totally unassuming. And then I went in and fell in love first with the aesthetics and ambiance. Then really enjoyed the drinks - love trying the weekly special. And by the third time I went I tried the food and fell even more in love. The fries are the best fries on earth with the sauce. These people even know how to make a veggie plate one of the best foods you will eat. It's soo good. Highly, highly recommend.

    We went to the Terrace Theatre's special showing of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me for my birthday…read moreand wanted to grab a bite first, but I wanted to stay REAL CLOSE to the Theatre on Maybank Hwy. I asked my foodie group for recommendations and read reviews here and chose this place because they have a Sushi Ninja popup on Wed-Thur-Fri. We LOVE SUSHI! And hubs loves whiskey! Traffic was SO BAD it took an hour and a half to get to the Terrace from Goose Creek. Left at 4:45, parked at 6:15. Show at 7:30. This is why I stick close to home. But we hit Paddock & Whiskey and had the best time, great drinks, and excellent Sushi Ninja sushi! Best in Charleston? That's a high bar. But wow. This was excellent sushi. I ate a piece before the pic, it looked so good. We got the Nigiri Mori at the recommendation of the amazing bartender, and I also got her favorite gin and tonic. Local, very fruity and naturally sweet. Lovely! The drink was good too LOL Seriously, though, the Tropical Gin from Beyond Distilling Company is sweet and fruity-good. The Aburi scallop is not to be missed! I swear I got an almost Bleu cheese taste from it, in the most pleasant and pungent way. The A5 Wagyu was also a hit. The Bluefin Tuna, Hamachi, and regular scallop with smoked sea salt were all so fresh and delicious. It was all so good. The sushi chef came out since he was told it was our first time and was so kind and genuine in his appreciation for the fish. I am impressed. The sushi was gone in a minute so we ordered another round and hubby was offered a discount dram (or 2) of a special bourbon and of course he couldn't say no. It was worth it. The space is tight but that makes it cozy and sincere. I would totally hang out all the time if I were local. The outdoor seating is great, too. This is an incredible locals bar tucked away in an art theater strip mall with an amazing sushi meal three nights a week. Where do I sign up? If you're in the area, check 'em out! If you're on the way, be patient and turn up the music. It's all waiting for you. Would brave the horrific traffic again for it.

To start Abigail, our waitress, was attentive, helpful, super sweet and just about the best waitress I have ever had. My wife and I ordered a round of cocktails, expecting the usual great description with subsequent lack luster drinks. Last night was different, midnight bloom which is their take on an old fashioned, but really in a different league; Smooth complex, and satisfying. My wife got the Ruby Ruby which is sort of a pomegranate martini with champagne. Refreshing and vibrant. For appetizers we had the blue crab fritters and the pork belly. The fritters were crispy, light, and full of crab flavor. Virtually no filler. I could have eaten a hundred. The pork belly was crispy, and rich without being too heavy. They also serve it in a white sauce that I was still thinking about the next day. For entrees we got the Roasted grouper and the pork shank. The grouper was maybe a bit overcooked and dry, but the accompanying butter beans stole the show. The were rich, and layered with flavor. I will never see the simple butter bean in the same way ever again. The pork was fall off the bone tender without being dry. The sauce it was served in was a masterpiece. There were hints of apple, berry, cinnamon, and many other notes, I would drink it by the glass if it was available. We split the gelato for dessert. Pure delight. Smooth, bursting with flavor, and leaving you wanting for more. All in all, except for a small misstep with the cook on the grouper a near perfect dinner. I would go there soon because a Michelin star can not be far off, and then getting a table will be a near impossibility.
