Last night was my first time here and honestly it sucks that you guys have a manager/bar team leader Beth or Sarah (we got two names from different servers) that is very disrespectful to clients.
I was having a really good time with my friends, drinks were good and our server was really nice.
My problem was with the manager who was drinking and taking shots at the bar, she was very rude and disrespectful to us. You guys should really do something about it because it sucks that u guys have such a good bar with a manger like that.

“Three Drink Fee”?? Like seriously I’m spending money in your establishment and tipping accordingly and you have the nerve to charge our group a fee every time we order? Next time I’ll buy one drink 3 times. Absolutely asinine.

Great bar, friendly neighborhood spot with good local crowd. Some of the cleanest bottles I’ve seen in
They allow smoking on their patio despite the sign. I do not approve.

‘Been coming to Paddock since they opened. Other than the weekend vibe, which can be a bit over the top, I’ve always enjoyed coming here midweek after a long day working in the hot sun. This eve, however, I was served by a bartender I’ve never met before. Instead of the usual smile and banter, he stopped in the middle of processing my credit card, walked over and asked, “you’re not gonna pour this drink into that cup and take it outta here are you?” Cheesus, dude. Paranoid much? I was finishing a cup of watered down lemonade and had planned to find a trash can for it. I’m a professional, and Charleston native. Not that that automatically provides credibility, but I do tip well and I consider myself to be a good patron. Other bartenders would surely agree. I hate to use the phrase “I was offended”, but the accusatory question was definitely out of line. It’s gonna be a minute before I return here, to one of my fave neighborhood bars. I’ll definitely not even bother coming in if this paranoid dude is working the bar. All he had to say to me, if he was that “suspicious” of my scrunchie, would have been, “I’m sorry but can you finish that drink and toss out the cup real quick? I’m happy to give you a fresh glass of ice water, but we can’t allow outside cups in the bar- I hope you understand!” Honestly, I’d forgotten I even had the cup in my hand. It was strawberry lemonade; I was thirsty and finishing it up. That is all. So, thank you rude Paddock Bartender with a mall-cop mentality, for ruining my experience, my evening, and my drink. But because I’m better than that attitude, I still left a 20% tip. I hope the owners train their bartenders in the future to not chase off and insult one of their most dedicated customers. Maybe it doesn’t matter, anymore, once the City Paper gives you an award. It was very disappointing. My company has their Christmas party here every year. I’m going to have to really think about this, before committing this season. I am soured.It’s so sad when a neighborhood bar shows such hostility.

This place used to be sooooo good! But since the addition of a total Jerk bartender, I won’t be back. He was rude, unsmiling, entitled, and did I say RUDE? Save your $ and go to the Pub instead.

As a whiskey hunter/collector this place was an INCREDIBLE experience! Service was great, food was great, and the whiskey selection was amazing.Got to try an OF pick of theirs, 2XO Phoenix Blend, and a Stellum.10/10 would go back again!

What a shame, such a cool bar. You would think enough local & mature adults would support it for ownership to not feel the need to cater to the King Street crowd but I guess business is weak and the need to cater to the King Street crowd is too overwhelming. If you’re thinking of visiting this establishment, do yourself a favor and spend your money at Bar George, a short and valuable few steps from this rager of a college bar. Continuing down this path, the owners will inevitably need to hire a bouncer, possibly a lawyer to handle the underage waste cases flowing through so freely. Any rebuttal from this place, in reply to my post is a sad attempt to save face. Ughhh the place wreaks of desperation and lack of sustainable business plan, stay FAR AWAY from this place.
