Another year means another family vacation with my husband's family so that includes my MIL, FIL, SIL & her husband, and my BIL. This year, they chose to visit Charleston, SC because 1) my MIL hasn't been before and had just watched Ken Burns' 5-part, documentary on the American Revolution, and 2) because my FIL has seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and needs to be below the Mason Dixon Line for the winter. So we all converged on Charleston. The first dinner we had together was this place that was right across the street from the hotel we were staying at. I think my MIL wanted to find something that was easy and fast. When we went it wasn't that busy and we couldn't figure out why (although later, it got super busy at 10pm). I guess this place is more of a night town meaning it comes to life later in the night. We were 7 people but the restaurant had no trouble accommodating us and there was something on the menu for everyone. If you've read other reviews, it's hard to find places that we can all agree on that matches everyone's dietary needs. I convinced my MIL to share the Hot Honey pizza. Even though she has low spice tolerance, she said she enjoyed it. I think my FIL got a wrap, my husband got a burger, my BIL got a salad (i don't remember), and my SIL and her veganish husband got the pesto pizza. I say veganish because he tries to stick to a vegan diet but he does consume dairy products at times. And in the South, I guess finding fully vegan foods is really hard he was pretty much veganish the whole time. But everyone enjoyed their food with a minor complaint of something being really salty. Our waitress was also very friendly, very open and welcoming, and even gave her recommendations on where to visit and where to eat. I think this place has good food for a good price and it seems to be a popular place later on in the night. Quiet ambiance if you go earlier in the night if you want to avoid the crowd. read more

Perfectly fine touristy dive on King. The events there can be a lot of fun! Food is mid, drinks are good enough. The crowd can be pretty young. read more

We went here twice while we were in town. The first time was Wednesday night and it was super fun! No cover, line dancing downstairs. A large bar and a big upstairs with a bar and a rooftop patio. We went on a Friday night and it wasn't as fun, I would give it a 3 if we had just went on Friday. Cover was $20 which I think is really high. It was packed inside with a super young crowd. It was still kinda fun but def had a better time on Wednesday. Def a bar and wouldn't eat here! read more

It was as a young college crowd on a Sat night that was mixed in with bachelorette parties and a sprinkle of older folks like us. Cover was $5. The first floor there was a live act until 11:30 pm until another DJ showed up. Roof deck had a DJ and another DJ in another room on the second floor. It was fun to people watch and see how SC parties. read more

I love going to Uptown Social! The food is great, the drinks are great, everyone is super friendly and there's always something cool going on. I love how big this place is and the amount of DJs that can play at one time. The rooftop bar is super fun and there's always a load of people to connect with. They serve cannabis drinks for those staying away from alcohol and still looking for a social experience. read more

Weird there's only one review so far for this place. Anyhow, this was across from the Hyatt and we wanted to grab a quick drink before our dinner reservation at Sorghum & Salt. Pretty huge bar... the first floor is very spacious and there's a much 2nd floor that contains a small rooftop section plus a private room or two for events. Drinks are the standard, but it was pretty enjoyable for a quick happy hour. Plenty of TVs and space for live bands in the evenings. I think this place is quite happening, but we only got to experience it for less than an hour on our trip to Charleston. read more

No wait, fast service and food was good. Staff was friendly. You have to show an ID just going in for lunch.

The food was decent, I do love a good chicken Parmesan sandwich so hit the spot. We were there for a bar call so our drink menu was limited, but for what we got it was really good. I initially got in there. They were playing all the different sports games so it's kind of loud but our waiters and bartenders were very helpful and quick with our food and drinks. read more

Amazing customer service from Julia and the food was amazing. Honestly the best burger I have had in a really long time. It was juicy, seasoned and all the ingredients were proportionate so you could taste every bit in each bite. The fries were hot, crispy, and generously dusted with seasoned salt, they were exactly what I expected. Overall it was a great experience. Not too crowded at 5:00 so the environment was really enjoyable. read more

Good wings. Great sports bar. Friendly service. Wings were massive but super flavorful

The food and drinks are excellent! The price downtown was a little high for retired seniors but the drinks are excellent! The pizza was delicious my first time with honey not sure if it overpowered the Italian pizza! Martini espresso was great could have had five but price is high so switched to ice cold Pacifico, and really enjoyed the atmosphere and service! Thanks Casey ! read more

Fantastic service and with amazing staff, but food is just okay and there's a lot of different music going on at the same time.

Had a great night there last Friday, saw people enjoying happy dads, glad they added them to the menu. read more

I was recommended this place by locals and was excited to bring my friends. We got to the place and was told it was $20 a head even though they closed in 30 mins, but I paid for all of us to get in. I paid the woman and took two steps and the doorman said we weren't allowed in because one of my friends was "stomping too much." While I understand it's up to the doormen to decided who is allowed in, I would have appreciated him to tell us before I paid that we weren't allowed in because on my friends "stomping." He immediately told me to go to another girl to get my money back. Felt like a scam and left a bad taste in my mouth. Never want to come back to this city again. read more

Would not recommend to anyone. While at the bar an off duty employee started multiple fights with my group and when the staff was informed they failed to take the necessary measures to make the environment safer. If you want to be feel and be threatened by both on and off duty employees then this maybe the spot for you but if not i would recommend avoiding this and any bar associated with the uptown group. read more

Good but so overpriced. The staff is all good I just and it's a great environment. I love going when I'm in Charleston.
