Beer isn't really my thing. Pour your own beers by measurement places aren't really my thing. But a recent visit to Pour Taproom last weekend really impressed. There are great views of the city, a wide variety of taps, and it was easy to get started and to close out. They have non-beer options as well, if you really don't want a beer. Charleston has a lot of fancy, upscale places to drink. Pour Taproom is an option for those nights when you want a chill place to grab a beer and watch the game. But it still has plenty of tables for groups. And those views are really what put it over the top for me. read more

Pour is a rooftop bar along King Street in Charleston. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Upon arrival upstairs, you grab a lanyard code for pour-your-own beers or whatever else you may want to order. I had a glass of rose, but my friend enjoyed the beer wall. The vibe was okay earlier in the night, but it was pretty bro-y and a gaggle of bros was highly annoying and kept bumping into me while I was cashing out. It's definitely worth a stop though if you're bar hopping in the area. read more

I hit this place on Saturday with my friends and boyfriend and I can't wait to come back! The drink variety is amazing and the prices make it even better. The area is very spacious and rooftop views are great! I want to try food next time I come. read more

Cool vibe. Great rooftop view. When we arrived, we were told about the self-serve pours and the different beer options. There is also a bar for cocktails. We were issued our wrist bands with a credit card on file to use when we got our beer. My favorite thing about self-serve pours is being able to try small amounts of various styles -- especially local varieties. The Beer Cheese Fries were AH-maz-ing! We went back again on our trip to have them again. read more

For those staying at the Hyatt Place, this is located on the Hyatt House side of the building. In fact, it has its own elevator to get up there. Once you figure that part out (and ignore some of the confusing signs in the other elevators), you'll have a fun time at the main event: Pour Taproom. Cool concept here of basically getting a bracelet and serving your own beer. There's plenty of selection of self-serve pours. The best part, of course, is the outdoor patio with a skyline view that's hard to find in Charleston. Especially since we were on the 9th floor and got to see the entire city. We were here on a Sunday during the late afternoon, shortly before closing. No one was there, which was a bit strange because I'd imagine there would be plenty of visitors at the hotel that would garner interest. As such, the hours are a bit odd, but we enjoyed our short time up there. read more

Great rooftop bar with amazing views. Great process for getting your own beer from the taps along the wall. Easy to taste just a sample or enjoy a full glass or two! Fries were tasty! After you check in, get a bracelet and provide a credit card, the beer is self serve. Large, air conditioned inside space with a large outdoor patio. read more

Rooftop seating is nice, but more than half the taps were empty and a bunch of the beers you can get anywhere. Maybe we're off season, but it was disappointing. read more

The idea of a self serve tap system is novel and we really enjoyed that! Also the Brussel sprouts were freaking amazing! That being said, this picture is what chicharonnes should look like. What were served was the ones sold in bags at the grocery store. Incredibly disappointing and not worth the $ at all. read more

Amazing bar - impeccable service, Colton the bartender was so helpful in choosing what drinks and food to get. He also gave recommendations on good restaurants in the area! read more

This is a fun place to hang out in charleston and I enjoy that there are options for everyone, from beer to wine to ciders and everything in between. I also enjoyed the patio which has cute views of the city and it is a great place to meet up with friends and hang out. I particularly enjoyed the board games available for everyone to use as it provides additional entertainment while enjoying a drink. The food is nothing to remember or to come back for, it is more of a hang out place with good beers and views. I like the self-serve concept and the fact that you are in control of your pour. read more

I had such a great experience at Pour Taproom in Charleston, SC! Before I even reached the front entrance, I was warmly greeted by the bartender (Pat), who immediately made me feel welcome and recommended a refreshing blueberry cocktail made with his own fresh syrup--such a personal and delicious touch. The hostess (Brenda) was also super helpful, taking the time to explain how everything works. Since the bar is located on the rooftop of the Hyatt Place/Hyatt House in downtown Charleston, the views and atmosphere were fantastic--laid-back, scenic, and perfect for relaxing. I loved the self-serve concept! You can pour your own beer or wine, choosing from a wide variety on tap, and also order small plates and tapas to go along with your drinks. It's a fun and flexible way to try different things at your own pace. Between the excellent customer service, creative drinks, and unique rooftop vibe, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Charleston. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This place is heaven for beer drinkers. A huge selection on tap that you can try without committing to something you don't like. The service is always super helpful and friendly- Audrey is the best! Always smiling and cracking jokes. The food here is also surprisingly great. I feel like it's a hidden gem way up high on King Street that more people should know about. read more

Literally the Bartenders up there made our stay the absolute best. I think their names are Kyle and Patrick. They told us all the great places to eat and knew us by names the second night we went up there. We cant wait to come back and see them again!! they are the best! read more

This place is a gem! Awesome local taproom. Great selection of beers - IPAs, stouts, sours, they have it all. The bartenders really know their stuff, and is a Bills fan, who helped me pick out some winners. The vibe is chill and friendly. Definitely a cool spot to kick off a night on King Street! read more

I'm not going to tell you that this is the best restaurant in all of Charleston. The chicken sandwich was meh - dry and unremarkable. The burger was tasty but the fries were standard fare. The food is not the draw but it is super convenient to grab and go while staying at the Hyatt. I won't even say the drinks are all that superb. Now, the card beer concept is very cool provided you drink beer or cider. They have a bar for all the rest of us and they make whatever is requested - no menu. The drinks were solid but nothing that drew me in again. It is the highest rooftop bar in the city of a flat landscape and not much to see. The service was relaxed, welcoming, and chill. This strikes me as a place that's great with a group of four or five beer / cider drinkers looking to wind down the evening. This is a place that isn't busy during the sunlit hours but in the late night this place gets crowded! The security guard at the elevator is there largely to keep the place from exceeding capacity. Be good to him, he's a very nice guy. read more

We stayed at the hotel adjacent to Pour. Always nice to have a bar with endless options! Everyone enjoyed trying a variety of beers. Didn't eat so can't comment on food! read more

I really wanted to like this place since it's a really cool concept. You get a card and you can try out any of their many taps of draft beer/cider. This place is in the Hyatt Place hotel. Service (2/5): There was only one guy helping all the customers, so I really felt sorry for him. I was excited to see that there was a happy hour from 5-6pm, according to their website, but when I mentioned this to him, he scowled at me and said, "there is no happy hour here, that website is really outdated..." Well, that's not my fault, and I didn't appreciate the attitude. That's bad advertising on the business' fault. Food (3/5): We got a key card and went around to check out the different beers. It's fun to get an ounce of a beer and not have to pay more than $1.5 or so - it allows you to try different beers. At the time we were visiting, about half the taps were out or not working -- they had a maintenance person coming to fix it. We ordered some truffle sweet potato fries, which were really fantastic. They were crispy and had lovely truffle oil on the top along with parmesan cheese and herbs. They really have an amazing rooftop bar with lovely views, but since it was stormy outside, we didn't get a chance to hang out here. read more

So when we first came, I was bummed that we were only staying in SC for one night. I would have come back every night. A bar like this is the perfect set up for a couple like my husband and I. The "all you can eat/drink" style Esdras never appeal to me because, while my husband can hold his own, I just can't hang. But I like variety. I didn't feel guilty at all here because you only pay for what you drink! I could try a sip of different beers for a few cents until I found something I liked. Staff was nice. We were a little bummed they closed at 9:00pm the night we came but they told us that up front and it was pretty slow because of Covid. All around a good time. Would come back! read more

Kyle was an exceptional bartender! The rooftop bar was a beautiful space to view the city.

I love this concept. Ever a fan of a flight of beer, sometimes I have a hard time picking just four/five, and once in a while you get that one just doesn't work for you. Well, at Pour you can pretty much try the whole tap rotation for $20, if you pour wisely. Your credit card stays with the host, and in return your barcode on a lanyard gives you access to an unlimited amount of self-pour beer and cider, charged by the ounce. I had $1.22 of a hoppy IPA, $1.97 of a lovely stout, and $4.47 of a different IPA that I very much enjoyed--among several other pours. I saw some pretty meh reviews about the food so we opted to keep this a "liquids only" visit--as it seemed most others were doing as well. Well, we were here for just shy of 45 minutes and the bill was a whopping $15. Can't beat that. And, when the weather is nice....theres plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the highest rooftop bar in Charleston. read more

What a neat find. I knew there was a bar on top of the Hyatt downtown but had never been. You take an elevator from the lobby to it. The elevator is only used for the taproom so there aren't stops on other floors or squeezing in with tourists and luggage. You arrive and give your credit card to start a tab. Each person on the tab is given a QR scan card to access the drinks. It charges based on the amount poured. They had a few wines and some liquor drinks in addition to the large, very organized, beer selection. They offer food which can be ordered at the counter you check in at and they give you a number for the table. The charcuterie wasn't bad. There's a section to choose different types of glasses based on your drink choice. They have a few table top games available to play as well. The inside has tables, but the outside is the best. It has a beautiful view of the city and plenty it seats to enjoy it. I recommend checking it out read more

Great selection of beer but limited menu. The food they did have was fresh and tasty.

Great concept, but needs work on the execution. We attempted to enter through the Kings Street entrance, only to find it closed despite the website saying that they opened at 3PM and we were there after that time. Tried calling their phone number to ask how to find the entrance...only for no one to answer. We ended up walking around through the Hyatt hotel entrance and I noticed a man with the "Pour Taproom" shirt on, so I approached him to ask what the best way to enter the taproom would be, but was met with a very rude "I have no idea, I'm trying to get up there." After figuring out which elevator to take up to the ninth floor, we later encountered the same man working there. It's a pretty small space right when you get off the elevator. We received our QR codes to use and they were pretty easy to pour from the taps that were working. They like to boast that they have X number of taps when only about 2/3 of them were working. I did like the range of beers from meads and ciders to IPAs and stouts. Unfortunately, they couldn't get any of the TVs working, which was a bit of a bummer on a summer afternoon with several major sports tournaments happening, but oh well. Again, great idea and I have been to several bars that have the "pour-your-own" concept, but this wasn't a great time, unfortunately. read more

Decided to try the place out since it was attached to our hotel. Quiet place. Only downfall was we were new to this place so not sure how it all worked. Would have been nice for some guidance. Good selections but seemed to close early. read more

Grab a short rib sandwhich and drinks. View is great and low key place to chill. Worth it.

Great experience. This was our first visit here. Sierra (not sure if I'm spelling that right) was absolutely great! She welcomed us immediately and explained how it all worked. Great opportunity to try types and styles of beers you may not try otherwise. Great view from the rooftop bar! If you're in to beer, I highly recommend it! read more

after 2 foam pours we left.. what are the odds with 50 taps even if the beer was perfect no reason to go back, so many nice place to sit and eat nearby lots of people coming in looking around doing 1 and done. great views outside at high tops, couches available, inside is noisy read more

Okay not bad! To be honest I would not have found this place if it wasn't for someone inviting me to check it out. You take an elevator in the Hyatt hotel to seek out Pour Taproom where you encounter a self-serve by the ounce type of beer spot. They also have a bar for cocktails and wine but I went with a blueberry wheat ale where the tap wasn't that crazy pricy / maybe like $11 for the night(?) the beer was good, the views were nice with the outdoor area, and plenty of seating for a Friday night. I sampled some of the pretzel bites and cheese and it was pretty good! Lightly salted bite sized and the molten cheese was divine. Neat spot to checkout various local beers and some other well known brands. read more

Im in love with this place! Perfect sunset view in Charleston while drinking wine or beer or cocktails! They are the tallest rooftop bar in charleston and the place is just impressive. They check your id before you can open a tab and they give you a qr code to use when you select your beverage. So the code they give you is assigned to your open tab. They charge per ounce of whatever beverage you want. They have a lot of selections. From wine to cocktails, cider, ipa, light beer, dark beer and sour beer. They also serve food and not expensive at all. From chicken wings to nachos and more. I started off with redwine then beer and ended the night with their smoked peach cocktail which was really good!!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone going to Charleston. read more

Food is just ok. Location is great but only one side of the rooftop bar has good views. If you aren't a beer drinker the other drinks are just ehhh. If you are a beer drinker then you will probably like this places as you pay by the ounce and not the glass, so you can try many different varieties. read more

Pour is a great concept and it was a neat experience, I feel like it could have been better though. The concept is that you start a tab and are given a card that will open any beer tap you wish to try. You pay by the ounces so that way you can try as much or as little as you'd like. This is a great concept and I love this idea, I just wish there were more options available! I'd say there were about 20 or so, several of the spots were occupied by domestic drafts which was silly in my opinion because they're so readily available. I get that there are always going to be people that don't like craft beer but don't waste a tap spot in a craft beer bar on something like bud light! Have it available in bottles or cans behind the bar. Overall the beer selection was okay, I would have liked to have seen more local selections and a few less big name breweries. We opted to sit inside (they have a really neat patio that overlooks the city but there was no shade and it was lunchtime) and order some snacks to go along with our beer. I got the sweet potato truffle fries and my friends got the sliders and pork rinds. All of the food was spectacular. I think this is a great idea, I felt it was geared more towards beginner craft beer enthusiast, not the clientele that is well more versed in craft beer. read more

Best view in town! Pour taproom overlooks King St from the top of the Hyatt hotel. The taproom is accessible from King Street near Coming St. Look out for a sign out on the sidewalk which will direct you to the elevator that takes you up to the taproom. Once in the taproom you will check in and get a QR code card to use on the self serve tap. Everything is self serve and pay by the ounce. This can be dangerous! Pay attention to what you are spending The beer selection always changes and is quite the variety. Everyone will find ones they like. Also have wine, cider, and hard drink options. read more
