A fantastic pub just a little off the path of main Charleston. Great drinks, wonderful food and a staff that makes you feel at home. They know great things about comic books too! We will be back!

The hot buffalo wings were amazing. The flavor was on it! The flight of shots I highly recommend! The load tater tots are a meal for two people. Flavorful and filling.

I was intrigued by the bacon and it did not disappoint. Was so fun to see it fired table side and the pickled veggies were also my fave. The shrimp tacos were also a big hit.

A little walk from the busier French Quarter/ Market street area. Had seating when we got there. Good selection of beer and drinks. We got the loaded tater tots. They were a but greasy, but a very large portion. I got the blackened shrimp nachos. Again the portion was HUGE. Had to take most of it home. The wife got the Greek salad. She said that it was really good. The service was good. The wife also enjoyed the dancing queen mixed drink.

Great atmosphere and outstanding wings and fried pickles. The teriyaki wings were the best I’ve had in the last decade.

We sat at the bar and got drinks. Bartender, Declan, was great. Gave us recommendations to visit in Charleston. He was super friendly to everyone and sociable. Great local beer selections. The staff was wonderful! Would definitely come back again. The vibe was it.

We had a nice lunch here!
The prices are good, the drinks are refreshing and hand crafted. We were taken care of by two gentlemen who were both very friendly . The vibe is very much pub/tavern, but surprisingly warm.
Shoutout to Alec who is from Chicago; we chatted about that a little bit!
Get the shipwreck (drink), the chocen dip with and the burgers , which were cooked to perfection (medium rare).

This place is the best. Bartenders are active and engaging. Food was great and they have a great selection of beers and spirits. I’ll go here every time I’m in Charleston.
