    2.8 out of 5 Stars -- Arts Bar & Grill (Mt. Pleasant, SC) Arts Bar & Grill definitely brought the vibes--I'll give them that. The atmosphere was lively, upbeat, and felt like a place where good times should happen. Bonus points for actually being open when some places mysteriously aren't these days. The sandwich I ordered was solid, and the menu had a decent variety of bar food options, salads, and comfort-style eats. Now... let's talk about the experience. I ordered a grilled chicken salad... and it showed up with no chicken. Not a little chicken--zero chicken. It was basically a motivational salad. The wait time was also surprisingly long, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. I had enough time to question my life choices. When the salad finally arrived (still chickenless), the dressing was so thick and sweet it felt more like pancake syrup than salad dressing. And unfortunately, this ended up being one of the worst salads I've had--not something you want to be known for. On top of that, the portions were noticeably small compared to other places charging similar prices. Service didn't help much either. The server wasn't very friendly or attentive, which made the whole experience feel even more "meh." Final Thoughts: Arts Bar & Grill has potential with its fun atmosphere and decent menu variety, but the execution just wasn't there. Between missing ingredients, long waits, overly sweet dressing, small portions, and lackluster service, it's hard to justify a return visit. Would I recommend it? Unfortunately, no. Rating: 2.8/5 stars -- good vibes, but the food and service need serious improvement. www.weststayedthere.com

    8/19/25- quaint lil spot. Dog friendly. Waiter brought a dish of water AND served up some grilled chicken for my Bella. Very thoughtful. We ordered a few beers and salads. The chicken was very moist and well seasoned. Lettuce/veggies very fresh!

    Delicious burgers, good drinks, and good service. Had a nice patio for outside seating.

    We were in town to visit the historic sites so stopped in for lunch. What a great local bar! Wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Was early afternoon so bit a lot of people but the ambiance was great. My friends had peel and eat shrimp and shrimp and grits. I had the crab cake sandwich and my husband had the chili dog. Everything was delicious, including the local brews we washed it down with!

    We had a great time and enjoyed their delicious seafood and especially the stuffed crab hush puppies! Love that the owner is from Ohio as so am I

    Overall: Nice spot for some beers with outdoor seating to watch a game. The good: If you go in expecting a bar and bar food (which we did), it's a good spot. Good-sized menu and a good amount of outdoor seating (with umbrellas). Service was friendly and quick. The inside seems like a good dive, but we stuck with the outside on a nice day. The not-so-good: The food's good, but not great, which is fine given what it is. Whether you're a fan or not, smoking is allowed on the patio (which we aren't). Food/drink: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 9/10

    A small place with great food. N service was great. I had the fried flounder. Witch tasted fresh. And steak fries.

    Ladies and gentlemen- Arts has taken their happy hour menu to the next level. On Tuesday and Thursday all day Arts features the Dog Days of Summer. Four of the best hot dogs ever. The new happy hour menu (4 to 7) feature chips and dip, sliders and Shrimp scampi. Wait there is more. We brought our not so social dog with us and she was greeted with her very own water dish and a cookie. Thank you Jess! The bottom line is Arts just keeps getting better. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and now a new happy hour menu. Well done!

    Crab cake sandwich, delicious
    Donna S.

    After driving by many times, we decided to give this place a try. Since being vaccinated and COVID restrictions eased, we've been trying new places. The food first: huge portions, cooked to perfection. No needless fillers or over seasoning in the crab cake which tasted like fresh crab. The flounder sandwich was similarly cooked just right and seasoning did not dominate the fresh fish flavor. Portion size was very generous and a great value for the price. Service good, the beers came out promptly and were nicely chilled. Server was well informed about the menu. We would have been happy to sit at the outdoor area, but apparently smoking is allowed. Deal breaker. The place could use a few cosmetic updates, such as torn vinyl on almost every seat, but not a big factor when considering the general atmosphere is pretty casual. Only one small disappointment with food - the steak fries tasted like they came out of a freezer bag. Hand cut fries would have put this meal over the top by a mile.

    A great place to relax with friends and all you can eat oysters doesn't hurt either! Yes for $20 every Saturday until March they have all you can oysters. So after a few buckets of those now I had mivedon to the shrimp and onion rings Deep fried shrimp with a good cocktail sauce and onion rings were lightly battered and kind of sweetness oh so good. I like to try ciders and they had a great one and I cant leave out our waitress who really paid attention to us on a crowded Saturday in Mount pleasant. I'll be back again and again and again be cause when I find a great place like this they get my business and everyone I tell about them.

    Would Art's Bar and Grill allow a minor accompanied by an adult in for karaoke?

    I'm also not 100% sure, best to check with the manager. But,....... I would think so, pretty laid back, welcoming place!

Of course they have a lot of indoor seating as well and you still get a great view. The sunset views here are incredible and they have a lot of outdoor seating available we are here in September and the weather is phenomenal so we sat right outside next to the river. The food was very good. I had the swordfish with German potato salad. It was really on a bed of rested finger potatoes with asparagus and awesome fixings. My wife had the flat iron steak and it was also delicious. Parking was a snap. Beer and wine very reasonably priced compared to other restaurants we've been to and drink prices were comparable to other places we've been to around $12- thank $14 a cock cocktail . Overall, I definitely come back here again with no problems and I recommend you check it out too!

Our table also got the meat board, pimento with bacon jam, and the crab and artichoke dip. I loved the mac & cheese and I'm convinced that if you put that sauce on anything it would be 10 out of 10. I also loved the crab and artichoke dip which is served with warm pita, however, there were mixed reviews at our table. The dip was very crab forward, and the artichoke was barely perceptible. The only criticism of the charcuterie was that there was small portions. The pimento and bacon jam is served with Ritz crackers and one's pleasant, but I felt a little underwhelmed. However, for one of the people at our table, it was the favorite. We sat outside in the covered patio area, and I was surprised by how loud the outdoor seating was. If you're sensitive to overstimulation, sitting inside in the air conditioning would be a much more quiet experience. The service was a little slow, but overall the experience was wonderful and the restaurant is located right next to the water. We were there on a weekend and it was busy even though it was in between lunch and dinner. Parking was hard to come by, but that's to be expected for this location.

The interior has humorous things…read moreon the wall, dollar bills signed and stapled to the bar, and a great vibe in a very clean environment. We had to try the Apple Pie shots since everyone seems to talk about them. This is way more complex than some apple flavor liquor. The ingredients take some prep work, and the result is something that literally tastes like apple pie. If they bottled this, I would definitely buy it. They have two specialty drinks, the Freshy and the Orange Crush, both of which are made with fresh squeezed juice squeezed right when you order. I had the Freshy which is orange or grapefruit juice with your favorite liquor. I chose grapefruit with vodka and even though I am not a huge fan of grapefruit the freshness and tartness of the drink made it quite enjoyable. My wife had the Orange Crush with Deep Eddy's O.J vodka, Triple Sec, Sprite and some of that fresh squeezed orange juice. It was nice and sweet which was good since we were ordering a lot of savory options. The Potato Skins arrived first and they were truly impressive. Good sized skins with the perfect amount of potato, not too thick or too dry and definitely homemade. They had mixed cheese, bacon and green onions served with sour cream also loaded with green onions. As far as all the potato skins I have had these were a standout. Next came the onion rings with an absolute massive serving for just eight dollars. You could tell they were homemade and served with a chili garlic sauce. The best part was the batter coating which was crispy yet didn't fall off when bent or bitten. They reheated nicely in the air fryer. Next, we tried the Toasted Raviolis which were filled with Italian sausage and served with a house made marinara. They were nice and crispy, but the true star was the marinara sauce which was thick and chunky with parmesan mixed all throughout. I wish they had more dishes that used this sauce as it was excellent. On the advice of some regulars, I tried the chicken fingers which were all breast meat, dill brined and hand battered. It was good advice since the chicken was juicy and tender with a flavorful coating. Sometimes it pays to ask. My wife ordered the thing they are known for their Philly Cheesesteak. She decided on double meat, and they were super generous to the point she looked at me and said, "I don't know how I am going to finish this!". This cheesesteak gets nominate for a lot of best of lists and I could see why. I liked that the cheese was mixed in with the meat and not just poured on top. She enjoyed it but said next time she will order it as is. This is a great place to hang out and relax and maybe catch a band or some bluegrass and enjoy a great meal!
