About Burns Alley Tavern

Burns Alley Tavern, located near King Street, is a popular spot for live music, especially for College of Charleston students. The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable, but the food selection is limited. They occasionally have food pop-ups and offer great live music almost every night. The bar has two floors with plenty of seating. Parking is available nearby, but it's not kid-friendly. Visitors praise the chill vibes and helpful bartender. The atmosphere often features a college vibe with a lively, diverse crowd, and live bands frequently perform on weekends. The upstairs area is a good spot to stand and play ski ball while watching the activity below. The bar also has a game on and shows sports, making it a great place for a relaxed drink. Some guests note that the advertised Happy Hour beer prices may not always be accurate, with one paying $6 for a Bud Light. It’s recommended to visit for its music and chill environment but consider other options if seeking better Happy Hour deals in the downtown area.
