The Roost Bar N' Grille - The Big House Salad with Grilled Chicken (cheese & bacon on the side) with Jalapeño Ranch! - Sports Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

End of the year party and the roost was the chosen spot which was my first experience there. Cozy place with friendly folks working. Creamy Mac and cheese, buffalo chicken dip, chicken nuggets, not the ones from the fast food place, chicken strips, salad and chips. Everything was good! read more

Great neighborhood bar. The drinks are very well priced and the DJ ALWAYS plays the bangers. The bar staff is also super quick and friendly even on busy nights. Big fan of this place read more

Great sports bar with a great atmosphere and very cheap happy hour! I've come here multiple times and the food is always hot and fresh. If you want to watch NFL, It is definitely an Eagles bar, but they do have multiple TVs, which play all of the games on them. Happy hour has four dollar wines with some great pores! The parking situation is terrible so if you can Uber here, I highly recommend it. There is a handful of parking spaces in the back alley and a handful of parallel parking spaces along the main street. I have only ever seen one server here, but she is very friendly, bubbly and outgoing. read more

The Roost Bar N' Grille - Grilled chicken sandwich. My wife ordered it with extra Swiss and jalapeños, ranch on the side - Sports Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We stopped here after a 12.5 hour drive into Charleston looking for a drink and a snack and this place was close to our hotel so it was the winner. My wife and I really enjoyed it here and we were lucky we found it! We had the nachos which were very good and I had two local beers. The service was friendly and fast and the place was exactly what you want in a late night bar. It was large and had good music playing. It had a very neighborhood bar feel to it, I'm glad we found it! read more

The Roost Bar N' Grille - Nachos with chicken - Sports Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We had a St. Bonaventure University watch party at The Roost on March 7. The owner and staff treated us like kings for three hours! We had a semi-private room with two wide screen TVs. Food and drinks were terrific...service was excellent! AND The Roost has the best burgers in Charleston, bar none! Highly recommend! read more

All staff members were nice and helpful as soon as you walk in. Our waitress Meredith was very attentive. Tuesdays are steak night - steak of the day (NY strip pictured), baked potato or other designated side, & veggie (broccoli or asparagus) for $16.99 The steak was so good! Very tender, well-seasoned, and cooked exactly the way I ordered. Loaded baked potato was also good - bacon and cheese inside, yum! The broccoli was my favorite part. Steamed, but not mushy with a buttery, garlicky flavor - so delicious. I only wish my bowl was filled more ha. Atmosphere is typical for a bar, the lighting is nice inside. Seems like a place where locals like to hang out. Would go again! read more

I'm new to the whole state so yeah, it was a cool restaurant restaurant restaurant I unfortunately didn't get to try their food because the kitchen was closed but at least their drinks was good read more

Absolutely love the roost! I have frequented this bar a lot over the past few years! Lately my friends and I have been going to the music bingo on Wednesday nights at 7 and it's a blast. The vibes are great and I always meet someone new while there. The bar tenders and servers are amazing and the chefs know what they're doing!!!! Don't sleep on the food! Buff chicken dip- YUM (friend group favorite) Seared tuna-YUM Pork quesadilla-YUM All their food is delicious! Hope to see you on the dance floor! read more

A group of us decided to hit up The Roost for Sunday brunch summer 2022. It brought back a ton of memories as I used to live in West Ashley years ago and we were here all the time. I love a brunch spot that has lots of egg dish options because that is my go to. The guys got burritos and the girls got the hangover bowl. I wasn't starving so I had tons of leftovers that heated up great. The price was reasonable for drinks and food. 6 of us ate and drank for $140 before tip. The vibe is super chill and they have tons of TVs with sports on which is totally my jam. If you are looking for a laid back bar vibe brunch in West Ashley, The Roost is a perfect option. PS They have a location on James Island too so be sure to specify when meeting up!!! read more

It may seem weird that a bar n grill would receive a 5 star rating but here is why. I went with my wife to watch the Carolina Gamecocks take on the LSU tigers. I had heard that the roost was a gamecock bar n grill. We showed up late , 5 minutes into the game. No tables. A group of SC gamecocks fans invited us on one of their tables. Let the fun begin. Draft Guinness and all types of drinks for the asking. Fun times! The food was better than expected. The patty melt was excellent. The staff were attentive and fun. Even the owner was working his tail off and having a good time. I just wish I could watch my Man U game there as welll. read more

If you are ever in the area please stop by the Roost! The food and service were impeccable! We got there late and the made us feel welcomed and not rushed. When the food came it was hot, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The staff was patient and attentive. We will surely be back on our next visit! Loved our experience! read more

Very good service and nice atmosphere. I got a Caesar salad and fries and my boyfriend got a grilled chicken sandwich. My salad was very good but the star of the show was the fries. So crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These fries were the best fries I've had. read more

I f#cking love this joint. I do, i really do. Disclaimer: I don't live in or anywhere near Charleston or South Carolina for that matter. So why go to The Roost, Brad? Great question! I have some friends that relocated from San Diego to Charleston that I visit about twice a year and The Roost has definitely become part of our usual routine. From watching playoff baseball with a cold drink in hand to throwing down an order of those delicious chicken tenders, this is my kind of place. The kind of place that I'd be happy to stroll into dead-ass sober during the daylight and crawl out the front door piss drunk as they're closing the doors. The Roost is a great little bar. Hardly a dive, but kind of a dive... does that make any sense? It doesn't need to make sense. Just roll in, grab a drink, have some fun. Is that so hard?! read more

Can't say enough about this place. We visited for 96 Wave, and loved the food, staff and the band. It would be great to have the band one hour earlier, would have loved to stay to see it all, just too late. read more

As a band member playing at The Roost, I can say this is a very fun place. However, when it gets busy, you should have a waitstaff keeping an eye on your drinks instead of having to bug the bar (who only pay attention to the ones seated there-no 'shoulder serivce'). Also going to the bathroom is a chore working through the crowd, but I always like playing here! They have been pleasant and generous to us multiple times as a band. read more

Service was terrible. Waited over an hour for 2 appetizers. Good ambiance was only positive.

Definitely the best spot for brunch on the south side of Charleston. The whole group loved everything they got, and between service, food quality, and drinks, it was an awesome time. I had the hangover bowl which would definitely be my go to recommendation to get a whole lot of food and so many tastes and flavors to enjoy. The atmosphere was also really awesome inside as well! The sports bar scene, open area. and cool and joyous vibe made it a place I wish I could've stayed at all day to keep the party rolling! Can't wait time fo back and definitely looking forward to heading there for a dinner one evening too! read more

The Roost is a comfortable and casual spot where locals go to watch football and enjoy time with friends. The buffalo chicken wrap, fried with fries, can cure just about any ailment. The service is always timely and friendly, especially at the bar. If you're looking for a cozy and casual hang out, The Roost is the place for you! read more

Mathematical approach to finding good tidings without going to the beaches for Friday afternoon lunch and a pint The number of bars in a given area divided by the space you need to travel to achieve them, answer West of the Ash, 800s block. The Roost is a personal favorite of mine for the simple reasons that I always find myself hoping for. Good food, good drink, good service -- (No earth shattering news there) but consistency being the wildcard at other bar and restaurant eateries. Bartender Brian whips up some super fast beverages with a sincere smile with southerly sincerity that keeps me returning each and every time. Dry rubs rule my roost as to wing preferences, The Roost proudly offers a choice if seven, three to four more than the norm. Garlic Sirracha and Old Bay came to me within minutes and again, were consistently scrumptious. No need to have that question mark lurking being menu items that suggest a poorly prepared dish. Dontcha just feel better knowing that? I for one certainly do. read more

Merissa was the most amazing server/bartender. me and my fiancé would comeback to just hang out with her. Thank you to Merissa!!

Came here to watch the football games which was awesome since they had tv's everywhere! The food was good, ordered the Buffalo chicken dip and wings to start! Loved the Buffalo chicken wrap and French dip. read more

Best chicken tenders I've ever had in my life. Crazy fun college football scene. Sort of an elevated, upscale dive bar type of setting. But SERIOUS about the chicken tenders. read more

Ambiance is great! Really comfortable sports bar with great food. Service was great too. Everyone was really friendly.

This local bar in Avondale is the place to watch all things Gamecock as well as your favorite team. The beer is cold and the bartenders are fast and friendly. I had chicken wings and their version of loaded tots. I crave the tots. The ahi tuna we had as an appetizer and was fantastic. read more

I joined friends at the Roost for lunch today for the first time in awhile. Upon entering, I noticed the same thing I have noticed before-a smell that reminds me of sewage. I believe I noted this in my previous review. I chose to ignore it today as my friends had chosen Roost for our lunch. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I split the Buffalo chicken wrap with my friend and I ordered sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were absolutely delicious. I would go back just for those. We were both disappointed in the wrap and didn't think it was very good. It had too much sauce which made the wrap soggy. It took awhile for us to get the check and then to pay it. Evidently, there was a big party in the back that was causing the delay. I think they were understaffed today. I like Roost, but am deterred from going due to the smell. Otherwise, I would return more often. read more

The Roost is one of my favorite spots in Avondale. You can always find a crowd there and usually some live music to get the party started. I guess it quality's as a sports bar and I'm pretty sure the "Roost" is referring to the Gamecocks. It does have sports bar attributes, (TV's, Chicken Wings, & Big U shaped bar) but so much more as well. The Drinks are pretty cheap, Sunday brunch, live music, lively crowd, and tasty snacks. I love the Ahi Tuna. It's much thicker than other places I have had it. It makes the dish more filling and you're really getting what you pay for. The peanut sauce is thicker as well and adds a friendly flavor. The Roost is in the Avondale neighborhood so if you're looking to bar hop, you're in the perfect location. read more

The Roost Bar N' Grille - Sports Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

What a wonderful neighborhood hang-out! The staff is super friendly, the drinks are good and strong, the beer and wine selection are WAY better than average, and the food is PROPER! The entire establishment from the tables to the restrooms is super clean, and tidy. as a matter of fact the ladies bathroom was one of the cleanest, most pleasant bathrooms I've ever seen. The Hubs and I showed up at 6:30 on a briskly busy Friday evening. The bar tender cheerfully told us that it was Happy Hour until 7 and handed us a little Happy Hour food menu. We got a pair of beers and ordered the "seared tuna" from the menu in front of us. That tuna was the most proper thing I've eaten since moving here from Los Angeles! It was the perfect size, perfect doneness, and the sauce and side salad were well balanced and beautiful paired with the slices of tuna. Happy, we then asked for Full Menus and we ordered dinner. The hubs got the "fish and Chips" and I ordered the "grilled veggie wrap with a side salad". The hubs fish was fresh and crispy, and he ate everything between exclamations of how good it was. I swear if we were not in public he would have picked up and LICKED the plate! My veggie wrap was actually better than most. It was filled with lots of grilled portabella mushrooms, bell peppers, lettuce, arugula, and cheese. Definitely a "two hander" kind of wrap. I have to say though that I needed to add salt, but I am a bit of a salt-aholic, so if I think it needs salt, it's probably just fine for normal people. The Roost meets all of my guidelines for a great restaurant: 1) they are consistent in cleanliness 2) they are consistent on very good to great service 3) they are consistent on offering amazing food at reasonable prices 4) I would return 5) I would order the same food again read more

After visiting The Roost on a Friday night, I was highly disappointed by not only uncooked food but also a smug attitude from management. I would not advise anyone to eat here if you'd like to avoid salmonella and enjoy fully cooked meals. Sincerely, Concerned food connoisseur! read more

Great specials for football Sunday. The food was good, nothing special but good for a quick bite.

This is the perfect place to go and watch the Gamecocks play. There are ample televisions, lots of seating with tables that can easily be pushed together for big groups, and also plenty of bar seating if that's your preference. Drinks are very reasonably priced along with the food. Food selections are more bar-food, but this is a bar, so... duh. While there isn't much room in their dedicated lot (maybe 8-10 spots?) at least parking in the area is free and you will eventually find a spot. They have different specials during the week nights (food and drink) and the occasional bands that come through. While this isn't the place to come for fancy food and drinks, it deserves a 5 star rating for being exactly what you think it should be -- a great local sports bar. read more

Great hangout. Friendly atmosphere and Sean and Alexhandra behind the bar are excellent at their craft. Extremely social and enjoyable to talk to. Good bar food as well. read more

Local place in the trendy Avondale area, always a lot of activity. Daily drink and food specials, including happy hours, make for nice discounts, like $3 champagne on Thursdays. Multiple TVs for sports enthusiasts and an outdoor area for nice weather, which happens almost year-round in Charleston. We had wings which were just OK, probably would not rush back to order them. We were the first customers in the bar one afternoon and the place already smelled like a dirty bar at 1:00am after a busy night. Service was fine but we like other places in the area better. read more

Really nice place, bar was nice and they had a good selection of drafts. Bartender from NOVA was a pleasure to speak with. We just had a drink while killing some time, so no food. Parking caught me a bit off-guard, when you pull in a guy comes up and days it's $5 to park but you get a $5 off coupon and get your money back. Wasn't sure if it was a shakedown. Turned out to be legit. read more

One of my favorite spots for live music and night life in the Avondale district of Charleston. They also have a terrific menu if your looking to grab a great lunch, dinner, or even brunch! Live music almost every night of the week, multiple TVs for sports, and a kickass burger special coupled with trivia on Mondays makes the Roost a must! I particularly enjoy the outdoor patio where you can escape the noise and strike up some friendly conversations with strangers year round. There is a small area with select arcade games as well. The only downfall of this place is that there is not on site parking, although parking can usually be secured pretty easily in the encompassing neighborhood and side streets. Word on the street is that the place is also a Giants bar, boo Go Ravens. read more
