A Solid Spot with Awesome Bartenders
I love this place. The Charleston has that classic Brooklyn dive bar feel in the best way—dark, cozy, and full of character. It’s the kind of bar you can roll into without a plan and still end up having a great night.
The real reason I keep coming back, though, is the bartenders. They’re seriously the best—super friendly, quick, and just really cool people. Shoutout to Eric, who not only mixes a great drink but also seriously knows how to slice and dice those lemons and limes like a pro. It’s oddly satisfying to watch.
Drinks are strong, prices are reasonable, music’s usually great, and there’s always a good mix of people. Just an all-around good vibe. If you’re in the area and want a low-key, fun night out, The Charleston’s 100% worth a stop.

Pretentious staff - not just the bartender but certainly the bartender that I had too.

My second time at this bar and I have to say if I lived in this part of Brooklyn ( or in Brooklyn at all) it would probably be my neighborhood bar! The service is amazing and all the bartenders have always been super friendly and attentive. They also have a great happy hour and each drink comes with a drink ticket for a personal size pizza. After 7pm the ticket for pizza is only a dollar and honestly the pizza is great for a bar pizza and such a great deal! I also really dig the atmosphere and the layout of the bar. Can't wait to go to Brooklyn to visit again ?

Bartender working 9pm on Sunday 10/6 is terrible. Really inattentive despite there being like 3 ppl in the bar. You’d think they’d want to keep the few customers they get walking in. Guess not lol.

The beer and the $1 pizza 1 topping pizza (add more) is fabulous for that night when you actually don't feel fancy! The bar tender is super nice..
Spot for happy hour and pizza. Reasonably priced and a go-to for a buzz and fresh pizza pie.

There are signs all over stating free pizza with a drink purchase but I was charged for my pizza tickets because "happy hour was over"

I’m gonna start off by saying this we stopped into the bar on just a random walk and then Neighbourhood agreed by the waitress/bartender which I didn’t catch her name. And the thing that really rubbed me the wrong way about this place were a few things we were coming in to buy a fair bit of drinks and the bartender on my first order was like you left the tip line open that’s right I did leave it open because i wasnt tipping on my first set of drinks if I knew was gonna buy a couple rounds That rubbed me the wrong way on top of all that she was telling another customer another story about her travels on the way to work about how she had to randomly just pee in the subway and then call the sanitation people to come clean it up. I don’t wanna be hearing that while drinking and eating, that’s absolutely disgusting. You should keep those stories to yourself, I definitely will not be returning to this place. But their patio is amazing for people watching and seeing what kind of interesting people live in the city, a lot of friendly and beautiful people walk by that area, but I will not be giving any more money to that establishment.

The free pizza is great. Unfortunately the kitchen makes you feel like an inconvenience. I could deal with that since it’s a very short interaction but the daytime bartender is extremely inattentive and unwelcoming. My second time here and I feel like an imposition. I gave them another chance and really tried but it was to no avail. She is incredibly rude and standoffish. If you like poor service and feeling unwelcome you’ll love it here.
