Not sure how I didn't know about this place. No pictures were taken because it's way to awesome of a dive bar to showcase it. Clean, great service, great prices & great company. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Very cute little dive bar right off Charleston. Great place to grab a drink with friends.

Fun, locals spot to grab some drinks. Bartender was nice. Came here to kill some time before the start of our evening and had a good time. Dive bar for sure, but great people and strong drinks! read more

We just went in this morning. We lost money, and got charged for our drinks. Bartender was not very nice. We will never go back!!

The bartender Ryan T is racist towards black people and assumes that if you are black that you will not tip. The guy literally racially profiled me and said," Y'all don't tip anyways!" To me BEFORE handing me my bill. I was confused, and then I realized that he overcharged me for drinks. I told him and he got mad when I asked for my money back. He insisted that I just drink an extra beer or two, even though I was on a strict budget, and I just wanted my money back for two drinks that I clearly never ordered. He eventually slammed $4 cash on the counter as "refund". This all happened on April 11th 2025 at around 2:00 am. I asked two other black people at the bar why they were sending their drinks back, and they told me that Ryan made their drinks wrong. I assume this was on purpose based on how I was treated earlier. I went back around a similar time when the same bartender was there. It was because my friends wanted to go there and because that is one of the few places in that area open so late into the night. He literally double charged me again! I was going to tip him reasonably but never did because of how terrible the service was. I have literally never experienced such terrible service. Never give them your card ever. They have offered to give me the drinks that I paid for but didn't order, but that is not enough! I did take them up on that offer, but those were drinks that I already paid for! Luckily Ryan was not there the third time and I tipped that bartender a reasonable amount. I should have just disputed the transaction with my bank both times to get my money back. They should have given me at least one extra free drink, or at least apologized. I would recommend avoiding this bar, especially if you are a person of color. Realistically though, this bar should be completely boycotted or shut down for how racist Ryan is, how rude some of the bartenders are, and how terrible the service is in general. Do not waste your money here. They will probably overcharge you. read more

Always great cold beer fantastic service ambiance is amazing local bar love this place!!!!!

One of the worst service experiences that I have ever had. The bartender only cared about talking to her friends in the corner of the bar. Unless you are in the clique don't bother going here! read more

Wanted to update my review since my last one. Still a great bar. Located downtown where all the fun happens. Been coming to see the bartender, Melissa. She is so fun! Cold drinks, hot machines. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends. read more

Make sure when you visit this bar, you bring your cash. There are two times I've been scammed using my credit and atm cards. Also it smells badly of cigarettes read more

Love this bar! Owners are Vegas natives. And are great people. Great place with great vibes.

It is hard to find a place that will provide an experience like The Charleston. In an area rife with choices for both daytime fun and interesting nightlife, this bar stands on its own in more ways than one. The bartenders will work to ensure that you feel not just welcomed but like you are in exactly the right place. With Alex bartending, I could not recommend this jewel of a bar as heavily as it or she deserves. read more

Anthony is the primary reason why I'm never coming to this bar again. Number one, he always has a bad attitude every time I come in. I come in and he gives me 2 minutes to buy something or get out. None of the other bartenders ever give me a hard time except for him. I bring plenty of business here but that will stop immediately. He's the doorman and takes his job way too seriously when he's not even behind the bar. Bad attitude and horrible customer service. Don't come here as long as he's employed here. In case you don't know who I'm talking about, he's the man with the tattoo under his eye. read more

Stopped by after going to the odd Haunted Museum on a warm Sunday afternoon. Really nice bar inside with plenty of bar seating and some couch seating. Whimsical and super clean bathrooms. Bar staff and patrons were totally cool and easy to talk with. The people were the best part of the place making it a fun stop. Meant to stop by for a beer and stayed for 2 hours. They can pour all the drinks and have about 10 beers on tap. Great prices and they are fair to you if you are playing the machines and offer some free drinks. To our tender....sorry about that bad beat on the yanks my friend....next time. read more

The Charleston is a great after hours spot. The bartender, Dre, was so awesome and took great care of our whole crew. Truly service with a smile. Five stars! read more
