16 Best Craft Breweries in Charleston

“Awesome place to come and relax!!! Terrific beer selection. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Great bartenders with awesome personalities“

“Great beer and really good atmosphere. I highly recommend the Trippel!! Even though I don't have a pupper dog, I was slightly disappointed to read that they no longer welcome our furry friends. I overheard the bartender say that nothing happened, the owners just decided one day to stop allowing them. I totally understand but hope someday they change their mind.“

“Great beer, great facilities attentive staff. You can’t go wrong with Bevi Bene brewery!“

“While visiting Charleston for a guy's trip, we stopped by Charles Towne Fermetory for a little day drinking. The bartenders are very friendly and gave good suggestions on what beers to try. I had the Yacht Party, Extra Hellos, and Pacifica Pils. They were all great beers, and we bought beer to go. This is a cool place.“

“I had a splendid experience here recently for the sip and shop! I tried a pilsner, a lager, and a sour, and my friend had the nachos. We loved everything and really liked the staff and the space! Indoor outdoor seating and great safe parking, not too crowded but not deserted, definitely family friendly.“

“Happy that OLSC South Carolina was able to find a new home at the Brewlab! Looking forward to getting to know the super-friendly staff better ✌️❤️⚽️“

“If you are looking for a "Cheers" atmosphere this is it!! PJ is so welcoming and makes everyone feel like family. The beer is brewed with care and so flavorful. It is dog friendly and the popcorn machine is such a treat. If you are looking for a brewery while visiting Charleston, this is the best choice.“

“Great (and consistant!) beers brewed onsite by Ryan. Grab a monster slice and a few pints here in West Ashley!“

“good selection of tasty beers“

“Everything about our visit was excellent! I called a few days before because we had a big group coming and spoke to Will who was super helpful. He helped us with an area where our group could hang out, eat and drink. The kids loved the huge turf area and played out there the whole time. The outdoor seating is great, food and drinks were great! We really enjoyed our visit and Will was a huge help in making our visit successful!“

“I was very happy with our private party experience, from booking to execution. Sarah was great to work with, very responsive and helpful as I was trying to put a party together at the last minute. The event space (the mezzanine) was accommodating, the food was excellent, the bar staff was friendly, and it was a great atmosphere. Bonus that we were able to enjoy the live music during the party as well. Thank you to the Holy City staff for making my husband's 40th birthday one to remember. I appreciate everything!“

“Obviously it's a tiny spot and I'm sure had I been there on a busy night it would have been less enjoyable but this little neighborhood bar is perfect to hang & try some random beers. The option for 3oz pours means you can try everything they have and live to tell the tale. Glad I found it on my trip.“

“Great place! Great service! Great bartender l! Visiting from PA! Thank you for enhancing our stay!“

“Great hosts for our Sunday event. The team couldn’t have been more supportive and accommodating!!! Fantastic setting for the whole family. Tasty beers! Tons of parking. And awesome people!!“

“Overall: A great brewery in the heart of DI.

The good: We went for a trivia night with our 1 year old, and the service was great (as was the trivia). We split the pretzel and fish and chips, and both were delicious. The pretzel was fresh, chewy, and salty while the fish was hot, tender, and had a very flavorful (yet light) breading. Plenty of seating both inside and out. And last but not least, the beer hit the spot.

The not-so-good: The entire restaurant was freezing, the cheese that came with the pretzel was a miss (the mustard was great though), and the amount of fries that came with the fish and chips was a little small (especially given the price).

Food/drink: 8/10
Atmosphere: 8/10
Service: 9/10“
