Awesome venue!!!

Classic friendly dive bar, everyone was so friendly and the beers were cold. I was stopping through Charleston on a larger Amtrak trip and this was one of my favorite watering holes I discovered during my time there. I was there for an hour or two during Jazz night too which was an even more fortunate coincidence.

The place has a mean, shabby vibe. The bartenders are rude and unfriendly.

I walked up in this place looking like an out of towner (totally am) but they accepted me for who I was 🥹. The band was TOP NOTCH. And I do mean top notch, sirs 👏🏻👏🏻. Moving to Charleston was a fantastic decision, all I needed was to find a local bar I felt comfortable in & not like everyone around me wanted me to be pretentious like them (*cough*go down the street *cough* a couple turn arounds *cough* you'll find one of the bars I'm not so graciously dogging right now *cough*... *cough*) I mean, why would I want to feel like I was back in Ohio. Ew. Thanks for a good time yall 🫶🏻

I wish I could give a five-star review but I can’t. The bartender really ruined my experience. I haven’t been able to go out with my brother and sister together in a long time and we also went to see my uncle perform there. My brother, sister, and I waited for a few minutes to order food while the bartender had a casual conversation with another customer. As someone who works in customer service I always try my very best to cut a conversation short or come back to it after taking someone’s order but she did not seem inclined to do that. As soon as she walked over to us she immediately asked to see all three of our ID’s in a rude manner. She made it seem like she just did not want to be bothered with us in the slightest. I spent over $36 on mediocre food. Fine. I am also pregnant and obviously cannot order a drink but my brother and sister could. I wanted them to have a good time and maybe have a cocktail or two but they were so disappointed with the service that they did not buy a drink. We only had water and Sprite. The main thing that we were there for was to visit with my uncle and watch his show and to have a good time with family. She just truly made us feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable. The other staff and overall atmosphere of the bar was nice.

I didn't even go inside. Just drove up to pick up someone who was too drunk to drive. Bouncer/security guy was cool though.
