    Great selection of beers and some cool T-shirts too. It was a hot humid day and the fans helped. This place seems like it's out of the way but it really isn't. Nice selection of craft beers. Could promote some munchies that go well with beers. Will be back.

    Had a great time at Pawley's Island Brewery yesterday. They were sponsoring a craft fair for the Holiday. Stopped into the brewery area and spoke with one of the employees. He suggested the Gray Man. It was delicious! Nice brewery and great people here.

    Fabulous find for those of us who like craft beer and friendly people !! My first visit was this Saturday Spent most of the day on the rockers !! Love it. There are umbrella tables , picnic benches and plenty of rocking chairs to enjoy your visit !! And Dave the bartender is awesome and so friendly ! This is their first anniversary and I see many more years here for this quaint N Charleston brewery!!

    I finally made it to Pawleys Island Brewing Company today, and I am glad I did! I tried a flight of four of their more refreshing/fruit-forward beers: Coquina Wheat Ale (pale American wheat ale) Juicy House Mango (IPA) Coquina Mango (fruity wheat) Bomb Island Berliner (Berliner weisse) All four were excellent, but the Bomb Island Berliner was my favorite. We also had a pretzel with spicy beer cheese; it was quite tasty. They have plenty of parking in a large lot, and the brewery is dog friendly. I'd love to come back on a day where they have a food truck.

    Pawley's Island brewery is great addition to Charleston's growing craft brewing scene. Recently opened, and located in North Charleston, we stopped by one lazy Sunday afternoon and checked them out. Located like most breweries in a warehouse type location, they have ample parking and the open feel with covered patio is nice. There are some picnic tables very close to sit in the sun. The beer menu had 9 beers that should please all with lagers, pilsners, IPAs and more. Be sure to ask for samples, as I tried the Bashale (red imperial ale) and found it just too hoppy for me. But Big Sandy lager & Pawleys Pale ale had the staple crisp beer and flavor that was enjoyable. We limited to just one beer this time, but really like the set up and will return. Welcome Pawley's Island brewing!

    Great logo and a crisp fresh pint of IPA

    A little hard to find but that gives this brewery an "in the know" vibe once you arrive - a little like a speakeasy. It's in an industrial area (heck - it's located on Industrial Ave!), with garage type doors that open, exposing the taproom and brewery. We ordered two flights which included each beer on tap (8 I think). Here's the skinny - the beers were all very good. My table of old (and I mean old) beer drinkers were impressed that each brew was so tasty, especially for a new brewery. I liked the IPA and my wife liked the pineapple and grapefruit brews - neither of which was sweet. She enjoyed how "flavorful and fresh" they both tasted. The vibe was very laid back, and the price was a winner for us at $5 a pint. It's dog friendly - there's a ton of parking but there's no food yet (ownership says it's in the works). The only recommendation I'll make is improving the music selection. They need to find some tunes that match the coolness of the place (no Journey). Overall - it's a winner and we wish them much success! Looking forward to returning soon!

    For my first time I wasn't overly impressed. The beer wasn't as cold as it should be, we were the only people here and the staff didn't talk to us except to get our drinks. I'd like to try this place again on a different day in hopes this was just a one time thing.

    Been trying to get here since they opened as I'd heard good things about them. Stopped by on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy which suited us fine as we like to talk to the barkeeps at the breweries we visit. The gentleman that was on duty that day was engaging and knowledgeable about their beers and the flight of IPAs I had were excellent. Will definitely be back to visit soon. They have a couple of TVs in the bar area so you can catch whatever sport/game is on.

    Beer!

    This place has a great relaxed atmosphere and they are always trying new things with beer. The brewer and owner are in a lot of the time, so it's fun to catch them and see what this place is all about. Update: they always have a lot of beer on, normally between 9-12, all very well made and distinct from one another. Everyone can find something to like here.

    First time here and wasnt overly impressed. Beer wasnt as cold as it should be. The staff wasn't talkative except to take the drink order. I hope this was just an off day and next time I go back it'll be better.

    Awesome beer and staff!! Super friendly!! David and Frazier were spectacular! They were very informative on the surrounding area and other breweries. Will definitely return to this great watering hole!

    Good beer and good vibe

    Beer was great, friendly staff and dogs allowed inside which is always a plus. Small-ish but great gathering spot for good beer and company!

    Great people and great beer. They have closed this location. I am so sad. I hope another brewery opens up here soon.

    Loved the stout. Another brewery to add to Charleston's brewery repertoire. Near Holy City and Freehouse. Make sure you don't miss it.

    The atmosphere is very enjoyable. The beer is great especially the stout. The location is a little odd but worth the trip.

    The staff here is wonderful - I just want to point that out. I have had the same bartender the last…read morecouple of visit. He's so friendly and personable, and also helps provide some suggestions if you can't decide what you want. The space itself is cute - bright, plenty of seating inside and out - and they have plenty of parking nearby. It's also clean, which is a bonus. They have a selection of beer, as well as cocktails, which are interesting. I haven't had much of the food, but what I have tried is tasty.

    Wow! This place is amazing! As someone who recently discovered they have a soybean oil allergy,…read morethis place is a gold mine! That's one of the reasons my husband and I came here on a Saturday before the Stingrays game because it's near the collussium. It looks like it's kind of hidden off the road pulling up There is also a huge parking lot across the street. Lots of tables outside and by the downstairs grass area, but they fill up quick. Also very dog friendly and kid friendly. They had Cornhole and frisbee for games. Inside there is a large bar and table seating. You order up at the bar area. Btw they don't have soybean oil in anything, not the buns or sides and they even fry in beef tallow. So I ordered a single cheese burger with the special sauce as well as a side of crispy potatoes. I also got a glass of wine, which I was happy they had wine as an option ...not all breweries do that. My husband got the double cheeseburger with a side of crispy potatoes and a beer. We came around 430pm and sat by the benches below because the upstairs tables were full already so come early. They give you a number so they can easily find you. The food came fast, and it was delicious. The burger had lots of flavor and was the perfect size. The potatoes fried in beef tallow were crispy and delicious. It was my first time trying something fried in beef tallow and I can confirm it does not make it taste beefy Needless to say we will definitely be back!!
