Amazing service. Fun games in the back! Great stop for a scavenger hunt!
This is hands down my favorite bar. The vibe is always fun and welcoming, the drinks are solid, and the staff make you feel at home even if you don’t know anyone. The free pizza with drinks is such a clever (and delicious) idea—it really sets this place apart and keeps me coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual night out or bringing friends, you can’t go wrong here.

I love this bar!
The pizza is really good and cheap. The music is usually a mix of genres and so fun. Drinks are reasonably priced and the restrooms are pretty clean! Security is also very polite and on point.

Bartender was great. Pizza man is always mad for some reason. Gave me a burnt cracker w a light sprinkle of cheese today 😭 Went to Alligator Lounge after for a proper pizza.

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.

Great bar with outside area deffinatly reccomend checking it out. Games and karaoke as well. Plus free pizza with drinks.
Eric is super cool! 😎
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 ?
