Chicken Fingers
Justin J.

Stopped in with the kids on Sunday to grab some food. Good local bar with tons of locals who know each other, pool tables, some TVs, friendly staff, decent bar food on a limited menu, and phenomenal prices. Really refreshing to pay what I would consider normal prices for a burger and fries. Food was fast despite us being there an hour before Super Bowl kickoff. Typical local bar ambience... everyone seems to know each other, folks are there to talk, hangout, and have a drink or three. J.Ja

Nachos with Chicken!

Brianna our server was amazing! She easily handled the whole bar plus the tables. We asked a lot of questions because we're not locals. And she was very gracious. This is a total local spot with great food and great ambience. Excellent music! Hail the 80s!! Nachos were GREAT with the chicken added.

I came to pub on 61 for trivia as I found it on the trivia website I was surprised by how cool the bar is. Is everything you wish on a dive bar, cold cheap drinks, fun games and amazing service. I had a couple of beers and snacked on the pretzel with queso which was very enjoyable and yet simple. Great neighborhood joint

A great place to hear live music or play pool, or both. There's an extensive beer menu on tap and a friendly staff. Sunday Low Country Blues jam is my favorite time.

Get rid of the dj who can't sing nor choose good music. Allow real Tito's in the Toto's bottle and get better cooks.

Our first stop on this Charleston trip & it wasn't on my list but I'm so glad we stumbled upon it!…read moreWe sat outside in the outdoor area, where you order at the bar and the bartenders will bring your drinks, and food out. It was easy & we loved our lunches! I chose the double smash burger which was so delicious and filling! Loved it! Hubs chose the Cobb chicken salad and he loved it! Ate every bite & reports that the chicken was fried perfectly without too many clumps or batter lumps. We would absolutely come back for brunch items! Cool things: the bathroom wallpaper was epic, outside they have a water cooler with cups for self help access & a dog bowl for those who bring their pups. Loved that!

Listen, it's a great bar. The courtyard is nice. There is an ample amount of options for drinks…read more But... What does that matter if you're ushered out before closing? A group of about 8 of us went out for drinks Saturday (5/2/26). We were having a great time (respectful, quiet, not causing a problem). Last call hit at 1:30 so we decided one more drink before we went our ways home. 10 mins later we're were asked to leave the courtyard and head inside - not a problem. We will finish our drinks inside. 5 minutes after that, we were asked to take our last sips and leave. 15 mins before the posted closing time. Again, we weren't causing a problem, weren't loud, weren't disruptive. This was a group of 8, most of us well into our 40s (or older). But they were telling all guests to leave at 1:45a?? Just after we bought drinks? The posted hours say they close at 2a. Not 1:45a. Most of us left half finished drinks. The large bouncer was nice enough, the tiny one in a hoodie with glasses was totally unprofessional. So beware. The Blind Tiger has what it takes to remain a Charleston institution. Their staff, might ruin that chance.

I love this restaurant because it's right by the Charleston market and is great for people watching…read moreand the interior is decorated beautifully. Stopped in mid day on Saturday and didn't have a reservation and had to wait about 15 minutes which isn't too bad. You can walk around the hotel while you wait. They had a specialty fall cocktail menu which was super cool. I ordered the Haunted Market Street Margarita and it was amazing. It had charcoal simple syrup and lava salt which gave it such an interesting flavor. We shared the Pimento cheese appetizer and I am so glad we ordered. It was so good and the presentation was beautiful. I don't normally enjoy pimento but I did here. My parents shared the turkey club and said it was great. Will always stop by when I'm in Charleston. Great place to watch a game if you can get a seat at the bar.

This gym is just inside the Charleston Place. It has a comfortable vibe while also having an…read moreupscale feeling. I loved the fresh roses on the table and the gentlemen wearing a seating us. The service was warm and friendly, and their attitudes couldn't have been more pleasant. The pimento cheese was spot on and delivered by the executive sous chef herself. I have never had a Smashburger before, but if this is what I compare them all to this one is definitely a winner.
