The vibes are just right here. We just went in for one drink on a Saturday night, but we were able to get a small table and got served right away. I want to return for their happy hour, as all of the food that we saw coming out to other tables looked great! Their James Island location is nice too, but I would prefer this one over it. read more

Pleasantly surprised. I was not expecting to be as impressed as I was, but here we are! My husband and I came in to grab a drink and something to eat. We ordered the pork rib tips and shrimp skewers. Both were excellent! The rib tips were so tender that you didn't need teeth to eat them! And the shrimp were some of the most flavorful ones I've ever had. I'd definitely come back here again and would recommend checking this place out! :) read more

Service was really focused on locals. We sat at the bar during happy hour. We had been here a few years ago and I remember their beef tartare being good. Wow what a disappointment! We should have said something immediately but we're in a hurry but my husband and I each both got a tartare. It came out brown looking. Even when biting in.. the egg was partially cooked which is suspect too. It was bad. Cool inside but nope on tartare and given how bad it was will hesitate on part III here. read more

Good drinks and food, nice selection of both. More upscale than other places in parc circle.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

I had the best time! The food was good and Zach the bartender made the best drinks! It was on a Thursday evening and we sate at the bar for hours! The ambience was very laid back and cozy. read more

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. read more

The best food - service is amazing ask for Franklin all of his recommendations were amazing. Go to spot now, 10/10 recommendations.

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. read more

The drinks here are fantastic, and I love the atmosphere! Only knocked a star because I've eaten here twice, once for small plates with cocktails and once for brunch, and the food hasn't been my favorite. While I personally probably won't come back for a meal, I will happily come back and try more of their cocktails! read more

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. read more

I'd come back here even if the service was bad and the drinks were overpriced because it is GORGEOUS. Luckily, the service was stellar and the drinks were... well, drinks are expensive but totally worth it. I had what is being advertised as basically an Orange Julius with bourbon. Yup. I'll take two, thanks. We split the fried chicken sandwich and the brussels. We cut off the extra chicken and brought it home with the side salad and brussels to make lunch the next day. I'll be back, for sure. read more

Cool spot and gorgeous decor! Met friends here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Maggie was and excellent server and we never wanted for anything. They have a huge selection of bourbon and whisky if course, plus all the normal liquor options, wine and beer. Fried chicken sandwich was generous and large. The salad greens it came with were awesome, almost stole the show. Crispy mix of cabbages and lettuces in a creamy dressing with some cherry tomatoes was the perfect side. The French fries were crispy, hot and perfectly seasoned with a side of béarnaise. Brussel sprouts were roasted, well seasoned and topped with sesame seeds. Shrimp lettuce wraps had a small slice of a red pepper on top for a great kick in flavor, but easy enough to take off if spicy isn't your thing. Tables in the dining room are made from thick slabs of wood and just beautiful. The bar cover almost the length of the dining room and had many folks stopping in for drinks. The sign inside the gender neutral restrooms on the back of the door cracked me up. Go check it out! read more

I was so excited for them to open and now they're finally here. A whisky bar in my very own neighborhood! I was out of town when the opened so I came in a week after. I didn't know what to expect because I hadn't been to the one in JI, but whatever expectations I did have, they were blown away. The inside is so cool and way bigger than I imagined it to be. They have whiskey and bourbon on shelves up to the ceiling and use a library ladder to get different bottles. You feel like you've been transported to downtown and I don't even mean Charleston. This place has the vibe I get from the whisky bars I've visited in San Fran and Boston. They were packed but luckily a small table opened up for the three of us to sit and have a cocktail. I had a sazerac and it was excellent. They served it with a little side car of the rinse in a shot glass instead of dumping it which was a nice touch to sip along side the drink. We wanted to order off the late night menu, but found out it was starting the next day so I'll be back for that. Plus I'd love to do a tasting or dinner in the private room which used to be the vault at Wells Fargo and is now covered in charred wood for a private evening with a small group. I also heard they're doing lunch too so I have countless reasons to go back aside from the booze. What an excellent addition to the Park Circle neighborhood! read more

I've heard great things about Paddock & Whiskey and was excited to get a drink. I wanted to try something different so I went with the A Foolish Pleasure cocktail that came complete with Cheese Gin, Egg, Welch's Grape, Cognac, Maple & Cream. It was definitely an interesting drink that was sweet, creamy, and boozy. We also ordered the brussel sprouts and they were amazing. This bar has great ambience and service. Definitely recommend! read more

Went to brunch this morning with some friends. The chicken sandwich was stellar. The chicken was cooked perfectly and so large that I had enough meat for almost another sandwich. The chicken was so tender I was able to cut it with a fork against the grain. The only issue was my friends biscuits and sage gravy was not to their liking. It was oddly more oily than the fried chicken. She eats here regularly and say it is extremely unusual for anything to be less than stellar and I take her word for it. The waitress removed it from the bill without even being asked. read more

This might be my new favorite Happy Hour spot! This beautiful restaurant and bar has such a classy ambiance with the dark wood bar and low lighting and shelves upon shelves of liquor. Their Happy Hour is from 4-6 and it is worth the early trip! Domestic bottles are superrrr cheap. They have an old fashioned for $9 with Elijah Craig as the bourbon! The French fries and the brussel sprouts might be the best in the town! I liked them so much I visited 2 days in a row. The bowl of fries is HUGE and plenty big enough to share or eat on your own I won't tell! The bartenders are super attentive and patient. We had great service and really enjoy sitting at the bar and relaxing. Can't wait to try the whole menu! read more

If you go to the North Charleston location you will get an attitude if you don't know your drinks. The paddock in Charleston has bartenders that will inform you of bourbons you don't know about. Highly suggest avoiding North Charleston paddock, bartenders are complete jerks. read more

Wow is the first word I think of with this place! Situated on a corner in Park Circle, you walk inside to a wood atmosphere reminiscent the f an old library. Cute circle booth seating and plenty of bar seating, water served in recycled whiskey bottles. I loved everything about it including the food, drinks and service! We lucked out at happy hour and ordered the fries- to die for- and plenty to share! Also ordered the baked oysters, nestled in beer cheese, different and tasty. The table ordered old-fashioned drinks, absolutely delicious. They do a nice job here and the vibe was relaxed and comfortable. 6 stars! read more

This place was cute. It had great ambiance the minute that you walk in the door. Staff was wonderful. We got to sit in the back by the back door that doesn't get used. Food was delicious. Both sandwiches had a lot of bread but delicious none the less. Old Fashion was perfectly made. The Sazerac was made wonderfully. So glad that we didn't have to go downtown for this type of quality food and bev establishment. Would def recommend. read more

A must try for any bourbon enthusiast! Too many bourbons to count on the menu. You could probably come here 100 days in a row and try a different bourbon each time! A lot of store picks that are unique to Paddock & Whiskey too. They bring out the bottle of bourbon to look at it when you order it. Good selection of beer and wine for non bourbon drinkers too. Very reasonable price for domestic beer. I haven't tried any of the food on the menu but everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. read more

Love the ambiance here! Would make a great place for a reception or event with the exposed brick walls and the laid back, classy atmosphere. The drinks were delicious and very strong (in a good way).

A perfect place to enjoy with friends and happy hour is daily 4-6 pm. read more

I've been here a few times. Stopped in after a show at the coliseum. Their liquor choices are vast, especially the Whiskey. The late night menu only has 4 choices, Oysters, a burger, a chicken sandwich, and a bowl of fries. We wanted something, but nothing too heavy. So the fries were satisfactory. The specialty cocktails are unique, and the wine list has a good variety to choose from. Nice atmosphere. read more

1st impressions: - I loved the couch sitting but wish the area was bigger for more. - The DJ was a little loud but once 6pm hit, the regular music came on, ambiance set in and more people seemed to come in afterwards. The Playlist was great. - The drink creations were unique. A little something for everyone. Both of my Tik-ish Delights were wonderful. Unfortunately, the two Paddock Old Fashions had inconsistencies. The second was very strong compared and was almost like the maple was left out that time. - The service was great! Very friendly, conversation from all and helped with choices. - The New Revamped Burger was pretty tasty. I really liked the Apple Onion Jam and could eat that on a lot of things. Brioche has always been my bread of choice! The Pickled Green Tomatoes were a bit strong and took away most of the flavor from the whole burger though. I had to take them off after a few bites so I could taste everything else. - Waygu Eye of Round Steak is only served medium rare so make sure you like it that way just in case! This was also delicious. The Chimichurri is a nice touch. The baby potatoes were kind of hard and crunchy though and would have preferred them softer for sure like the sweet potatoes. The collard greens had a nice flavor. All in all I was happy to finally try out this restaurant/bar and look forward to coming in at different times of the day/night to try the other menu options just for then. read more

Paddock & Whisky - Part of the menu!! - Whiskey Bars Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

We decided to come to Paddock & Whisky in Park Circle for drinks Friday night after our trip to Van Gogh in N. Charleston. What a cool trendy spot right in the heart of Park Circle, with an impressive selection of whisky on their menu, along with other cool cocktails and specials. The place was busy but we scored a cool semicircular leather couch right by the window to sit chat and enjoy our cocktails. To be honest I could have stayed there all night. The staff were friendly, helpful & efficient and the cocktails were on point. They did have a happy hour menu with some food in it. I didn't Pat much attention to be honest but they have one. It's an ideal spot to meet before dinner or after work. It can be cozy and or intimate depending on where you sit. Definitely check it out. It's cool and not too loud!! read more

I wanted to like this place, but I sat at the bar with only 7 patrons and it took 15 minutes to get served. The bartender ignored me and did everything behind the bar except serve me. Eventually the nice lady from the other end of the bar noticed and gave me my first drink. Once it was empty, the guy on my end of the bar still never served me. He took everyone else's order that came up. Maybe I didn't appear like someone he wanted to serve? This was the second chance I gave them. The exact same thing happened last time. The nice lady served me but the guy ignored me. I will never return again. Apparently they only serve if they know you or you "look" the part read more
