    White Christmas and Mulled Mead cider
    Lalliet V.

    I recently visited Bar Mash to experience their seasonal holiday menu. The festive decorations create a wonderful, cozy atmosphere. In addition to the creative Christmas cocktails, I highly recommend the Brussels sprouts appetizer--they super flavorful.

    Absolutely a must visit during the holidays! This bar is all decked out for Christmas. The detail all throughout the bar, amazing. Holiday drink and food specials. The small plate of Brussel sprouts was absolutely delicious. The bartenders were fabulous and attentive. Highly recommend checking out this spot.

    Amazing holiday pop up decor! Drinks were to die for. Everyone was friendly. There was trivia going on and shuffleboard was available along with some video games. Lots of people were there but plenty of standing room.

    Classic Daiquiri for happy hour

    1st stop on our Happy Hour Tour of places to try. Bartenders were friendly, prices were great, seating is plentiful. We didn't try any of the food but it smelled wonderful and the portions were a good size from what we saw. There are many different themed nights to try out here. Looking forward to checking out Ramen & Trivia Tuesdays! We will be back!

    Their holiday pop-up was pretty cute, if not a bit cramped. It was pretty popular! They did a great job with their Xmas vibe. Their seasonal cocktails had a distinguishing flair to their normal counterparts like Moscow Mules, Espresso martinis, and mulled cider. Definitely worth checking out this event while it lasts, including the seating space.

    This might be my favorite bar in Charleston. It's dark. It's moody. The service is great, the prices are great and the food is great bar. The bartenders are always knowledgeable about their amazing bourbon and liquor selections. They also often have special menu items for certain themes and seasons. The cocktail menu is diverse and if you're looking for a lowkey hidden cocktail bar this is your place. I love the bocce ball court and the shuffleboard table. It's a great place to go on a date or with friends. It's casual and fun and has something for everyone. They have weekly trivia and other specials throughout the week. They also have a good happy hour menu with drink specials and food specials. The cheese dip is a perfect compliment to the high life pitcher :)

    The best Christmas pop up! Drinks are worth it. There's an extensive eclectic variety in liquors and zero proof drinks. The holiday pop up is always my favorite place to go. Because of social media it seeks to be way busier than normal. A line starts forming around 4:00 as of right now. Be ready to wait because there is security and capacity is 60 ppl. Wait isn't bad though! Definitely recommend it!

    Come here!!!!! Come again! This was hands down one of the best visits we have had in recent months to almost any establishment. Thank you for making a random Wednesday adventure one to shout about. So let's start the shouting!!!! 1st, FREE PARKING in downtown Chas. This great little place has a dedicated parking lot. They share it with a few different businesses but we had no problem finding a spot. 2nd, Such a Vibe!!! The restaurant is attached to the bigger Mercantile but like a smaller, cooler spot. Inside is made for small intimate drinks and bites. We were on a date night but we also saw buddies grabbing drinks and girlfriends catching up. Everyone just fit. Huge props to the two bartenders. Both were kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. 3rd, The FOOD! These burgers were amazing. So good! And the fries......so many fries! All served hot and delicious. You can absolutely tell nothing sat in the kitchen but came directly to table. Also, while chatting with another customer, the bartender overheard us mention Euchre. Guess what?? They hold Euchre tournaments on Tuesday!! No cost, just come and play. I'm absolutely coming back for this event.

    Jazz jamz
    Alicia P.

    4 stars for the cool jazz band that was playing outside and the helpful staff on the inside... The place is spacious, clean and outside, plenty of outdoor seating. I'd even call it community-like picnic tables. I ate a small snack, the falafel was actually pretty good. And my draft beer was also, but I can't remember which one I ordered... This is why I always put notes in my photos...apparently that night I was too into the Jazz Jamz to take too much time away from intently listening. Great spot, definitely would go again.

    Prime rib special on Monday
    Craig S.

    Great chill classy bar with some great happy hour specials on drinks and apps. The vibe is trendy with a bocce court and table top shuffleboard indoors. Some nice picnic table seating outside. They run weekly events/specials: for example, Monday has a great prime rib, Tuesday run club, Thursday bar trivia, etc. The bar staff is friendly and helpful for their large liquor menu options. Parking is usually a breeze with the cigar factory shops and stores. Check it out, Cheers!

    Falafel appetizer
    Amy Lauren S.

    My running club hosts weekly bridge run/walks that start and end at Bar Mash, and we love this venue. Many of us stick around for food and drinks afterwards, as they have outdoor seating. Plus, the service, food, and drinks have always been wonderful. Mash has craft cocktails for refined palates, but we usually stick with beer, wine, and food. During the winter months, Tuesday is ramen night, and in the summer months, Tuesday brings taco specials. Bar bites like curly fries, nachos, pretzels, and brussels sprouts are perfect for sharing with friends. The happy hour is from 4-6 and can't be beat, especially those $5 daquiris. The bar also hosts live music and trivia if that's your thing. The large parking lot is another plus, although spaces can be tight if you drive a large vehicle.

    Chicken Tenders
    Antoinette G.

    Attended the Halloween Party. Cool venue that also has games for customers to play. Great food! Good variety of beer, wine, cocktails, sandwiches, & appetizers. Bartenders very friendly & accommodating.

    Mash Burger
    Christian C.

    Came here for happy hour with some friends and loved the deals they had. The burger was really good especially for the fact that it was less than $10. I got a side of generously portioned fries too. The burger itself had a delicious bacon jam. One of my friends is a big fan of bourbon and apparently their selection was great and very reasonably priced too.

I have never had a bad drink here. I got the Batata Clarified Milk Punch (description in picture) which was fantastic. The toasted marshmallow garnish was a great touch for the season we were in. My mom got the Bourbon and Clyde and she said it was incredible. Description also in picture. The orange foam and pistachio crumble was a great addition. Another great drink for autumn. My second drink was the Smokin Indo which was probably my favorite. They performed the smoked glass technique with applewood which was not only cool to watch but added a unique flavor to the drink. We always make a point to get the assorted cheeses when we are here because they make a great charcuterie board. They switch up the cheeses just like they change their cocktail menu. Love to sit at the bar because it is truly an art to watch the bartenders make these drinks and really adds to the experience. Everyone who works here is super kind and knowledgeable on their craft. However, if you are able to be there when the two Doar brothers are working it makes it truly special. They give postcards with their check and there's a bowl of matchbooks sitting on the bar. One of the best cocktail bars in Charleston. Debated writing this because I selfishly want to keep it under the radar but it definitely deserves its accolades.

The service was on point and the bartender was killing it at the bar - multitasking making 3 drinks all at once. It was super impressive and I took a few videos of him. I'm giving 4 stars because the first cocktail I ordered was SO SWEET that I couldn't get it down. I tried to drink it but had to send it back. We asked when we ordered about the flavor profile and supposedly it wasn't sweet, but all 3 of us agreed it was way oversweet. My black manhattan was phenomenal and my husband had a mocktail moscow mule that was awesome. Overall, I'd come back again - just be mindful of the ingredients in the drink and modifying as needed for sweetness. Make a reservation if you can!

Also they were completely disconnected from the shell so they just slid right out. The house cocktail sauce is also insane and is actually forcing me to go back to get the shrimp next time. Incredible horseradish spice and a lot of lemon. The tuna tartare is 5 star. Honestly a tie with bar167 for best in town tuna tartare. The dressed oyster is fun but next time I'll ask if there's an up charge for caviar instead of ikura. It was quiet on a Saturday so head over there so we don't lose them.

That side (I believe it's called Landmark) has an even better atmosphere and is very warm and romantic. We were looking though for an '''oyster bar" experience, and the menu's have been merged. If I remember correctly, there was only one variety but the dozen we had were excellent as was the Tuna Crudo. Our daughter"s fish dish (I think it was tilefish - was amazing). My wife and I got the pasta with seafood special. I think the seafood part was really lacking. The pasta shells themselves were perfect, the sauce a little bland. Overall a very nice restaurant and meal, but somewhat pricey for what we got. And definitely not an "oyster bar" any longer.

Tucked away with true…read morespeakeasy energy, it feels like the kind of place you only hear about from people in the know. The moment you step inside, the Victorian-style décor sets the tone. Rich textures, warm lighting, and that unmistakable southern charm create an intimate, welcoming atmosphere that feels purposely hidden. Katie, serving as both bartender and host, elevated the entire experience. She was gracious, professional, and genuinely friendly the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you've even left. Her Knob Creek whiskey sour was exceptional, easily one of the best in Charleston. Perfectly balanced with extra froth, it showed the kind of craft you expect from a top-tier mixology spot. If you're looking for a speakeasy that nails vibe, service, and cocktails, Scotty Doesn't Know should be at the top of your list. A standout gem in Charleston's bar scene.

There's a comprehensive cocktail menu and the French 75ish and the tiramisu martini were both delicious ($18 each). The prices are super comparable with other bars downtown. They have a full bar if you'd like a standard cocktail or any other creation I'm sure they could make it. Our server was great and very attentive. The kitchen stopped serving food at 10pm which I wish we had been told when we came in because I tried to order fries at 10:04 and was told I couldn't. Which I understand I just wish I had known. The place is pretty small and dark and very quiet so the perfect place for a calm nightcap.
