I had my coworker in town and she wanted to check out 167 Raw. Even though it was a rainy weekday afternoon, I knew it was a longshot as she had a flight to catch, but we walked by to check the wait times anyway. It was two hours and we didn't have that kind of time so we opted to find something else. I mentioned Bar167 around the corner and let her know I hadn't been, but we could check it out. We popped in and got a table immediately. Considering there was no wait and you get a similar vibe inside, this was a no brainer. Now you won't get the lobster roll or tuna burger here, but the menu had fantastic options to choose from. We started with the funghi fritti to share and we both loved it. The mushrooms had this super light batter an the pistachio sauce worked so well with it. I don't remember what kind of mushrooms they had in at the time, but they were big like lions mane and very flavorful. I think my friend got one of the specials, but I can't remember because I was enamored with my scallop dish. The dish came with five scallops that were a good size too and they were cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed this dish and would absolutely order it again. I often times have friends who want to try 167 Raw because of it's acclaim (and Yelp rating). That being said, it can be a hassle when it's so busy and they don't take reservations. I'll definitely keep Bar167 in mind as a backup moving forward. read more

Love the ambience and the location of Bar 167. The service is swift and the staff are willing to please. I had a little trouble with the food however. I ordered the Caesar salad with "grilled" chicken. There were some brown old pieces amidst the mix and was an immediate sign to me that things were not going to go well....Then the chicken~ presentation and taste not very appealing. The sliced chicken was served as cold slices! Oh no! But the good news is the kitchen is working on expanding their space and making some menu changes according to GM so that was good news! We Yelpers" need to express our comments and questions to the management of these food and beverage establishments - be it positive or negative - more times than not the management is willing to hear us and do what it takes to make some changes to the quality and appeal of their food. The menu is highlighted here and I have to report surrounding tables seemed please with their choices. The focaccia bread seemed to be a hit. As most of the items on the menu are cold, chilled or raw Bar 167 was really not my kind of place but I would recommend dining here. Around the corner on King Street is 167 Raw -their sister property - has more of a hot item menu of which I will try at a later date. read more

So, we really wanted to go to their full restaurant but the wait was over 1.5 hours. So, we went around the corner to their bar and enjoyed their upstairs bar top service! What we got: funghi fritti, fried calamari and a caviar cone Food review: everything was wonderful! The caviar cone wasn't the favorite but worth the try and a fun twist on enjoying caviar (just too much creaminess for me, personally) What to know: the place is beautifully designed and service was lovely! The menu is smaller than the restaurant though. read more

Excellent! Amazing Food. Waitress seemed to rush us. The Atmosphere is comfortable for the most part, the tables are a bit close together. Hard not to bump into the table next to you. You have a choice of the bar, oyster bar, or family seating. And it's all in the center of downtown Charleston, on King Street. Ordered the oysters AMAZING! and Crudo so delicious. read more

Good vibe in here also. read more

Absolutely love the atmosphere here: the music is perfect and the bar top is absolutely beautiful. The service was solid; we started at an outside standing table and were quickly moved to indoor bar seats. The bartender whipped up some great drinks for my somewhat picky husband, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. Food wise, the oysters and the crab roll were both outstanding and I would order again! The ahi tuna dish and the short rib also looked great, and if I return, I'd try those. My husband ordered the calamari, and the sauce was great, but it was a bit greasy for my liking. Overall, great spot for dinner and drinks. read more

Popular place, but great for nicely crafted cocktails and fresh seafood. The cocktails came out nice and fast, and so did the raw seafood dishes. I was really impressed with the size of the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail. I thought the flavors in the dishes were fun and often nice and citrus forward. Really cute spot! read more

I visited Charleston for the first time to celebrate one of my friends birthdays as well as my own bday. It was a lovely little get away honestly. I am from California so with me never visiting this part of the South before I was definitely nervous. But the food was fire and the places were pretty hospitable. This one in particular was special because it was so quaint and small, but the food was so delicious. We tried the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, Crispy Calamari and Fresh Foccacia! It was soooo delicious. The truffle butter with fresh foccacia was out of this world delicious! I ordered this Scallop Pasta and it was pretty amazing with the fresh Parmesan as well my friend had a parmeasean kale salad and it looked bomb! The oysters were briny and fresh. Since I'm in Atlanta and the oysters can be less fresh this was so tasty. I will definitely be back read more

Bar167 - Delicious - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I was blown away by bar167 from start to finish! The service, food, decor, beverages were all 10/10! I came to bar167 on a Saturday for lunch right when they open (12pm). My friend and I were both so excited for our first time and wanted to try a little bit of everything. We got the caviar doughnut, caviar cone, and oysters as starters. All were absolutely delicious. The doughnuts were soft, pillowy, and warm. They had a fresh garlicky cream and then of course, caviar on top, a perfect salty finish. The caviar cone was similar but with a crisp, crunchy, salty cone, a parmesan cream and caviar on top. Two perfect bites. We had to get fresh oysters, and they were just delectable. Fresh out of the water, perfectly shucked with a homemade cocktail sauce and mignonette. Doesn't get better than that. For our main we shared the arroz con negro. A flawlessly dressed tuna tartare on top of a crispy black rice bed with a lemony aioli on top. Citrusy, creamy, crispy, fresh. What else could you want? This was perfect. Our second entree was the scallops, which was 5 exceptionally seared fresh diver scallops on top of a bed of slow cooked white beans. This dish was just as delicious, and we absolutely inhaled both meals. We were hoping for the baklava cheesecake to finish out the meal, but unfortunately they were out for the day, so I will have to come back for that one. Our drinks were their margarita, which was fresh and herby, their pepperoncini martini, which was very briny and strong, and their espresso martini, which was smooth and perfectly balanced. Overall this meal was a 10/10. Our bill came to a whopping $220, but it was worth every penny. Can't recommend it enough. read more

167 Raw and 167 Sushi have made quite the names for themselves in Charleston, I was excited to hear they were opening a cocktail bar. The vibes/atmosphere - 5/5. Think coastal, Mediterranean chic. The entryway was darling and bar was gorgeous. You can tell a lot of detail went into the design. Music was amazing they played four Rufus Du Sol songs while I was there. Love that they had pink pens, postcards with the check, and pink matches to grab on the way out. The food - 5/5. Flavor explosions in every bite. Plates were small but that was expected. Quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations. Drinks - 4/5. They were creative and beautiful but didn't blow me out of the water for being $15 cocktails. Service - 3/5 at best. We were the only people there at 5:15pm on a Monday. Our server attempted to take our menus before we even ordered to leave three of us with one menu (??). I asked her to go over the menu a bit with us and she seemed annoyed. The plates were listed with minimal description and had no indicator if they were meant to share or what. Once our food had arrived, we asked her again for details of what we were eating. With a small menu, it's not that hard to get the customers excited about the plates, especially with the quality ingredients they served. I'll be back for a cocktail if I'm in the area but am in no hurry, as I feel the service makes the experience. We weren't able to check out the upstairs patio due to the weather, so I'd come back for that too. read more

Great vibes! Check in process was seamless- considering the amount of people wanting in on a Saturday evening. Started the evening out with some cocktails- my friend had the Negroni (which was smooth and balanced) and I had the Agean (which contained Skinos Mastiha- a Grecian liquor that I was unfamiliar with, but the drink turned really well. We shared 2 bites- seasonal stracciatella (peaches) and funghi fritti. We were asked if we wanted to add focaccia to our stracciatella order but felt that if it was meant to be served together, the order should include it. Both plates turned out wonderful but the funghi would have been better with a little bit of flaky sea salt. Overall our bartenders were really helpful and knowledgeable and everything we had was worthy of a second visit! read more

This is the probably the new hot spot for Charleston. The place was probably opened for about 2 weeks before I made my trip out here. The host/hostess bar had a constant line. My wait was prob 30-45 min before we got the call. It's an intimate space and at first it was kinda loud - loud music to compete with the conversation taking place in the dining room side. Even though this place was designed more for a cocktail spot, they did offer a couple of small plates. Peach stracciatella offset with fresh basil was really delicious. Fried maitake mushrooms were delicate, crispy with a nice bright green pistachio sauce. The food was really nice, top notch. And the drinks were flowing! We sat at the bar and saw beautiful drinks being created. The team at Bar167 was done with finesse and would recommend for not just being a hot spot, but a legit bar and fine dining establishment. read more

We stopped in for cocktails! We had made a reservation and we're seated in the downstairs bar. There are a couple different seating areas inside/outside. The very cool blue counter oyster bar (upstairs apparently) is why we wanted to come, we unfortunately didn't get seated there (we were bummed about this). We wanted it for pictures with our drinks! I think that should be an option during the reservation! We had a variety of cocktails Jungle Cat, Maiden Lane, Fulton Street Rickey, and Fool's Gold. Very great spot for cocktails, recommend trying to sit at the oyster bar upstairs! Per the response below. We didn't not go to the wrong location. We knew which location we were going to. We didn't want to go to the Oyster bar as stated in the comments. We wanted to sit at the blue counter oyster shell bar upstairs at this location, we made reservation 1-2 months in advance we were bummed that wasn't even told to us that we wouldn't be seated there. It should be listed as an option when putting in a reservation. read more

A Charleston Native visiting home, wanted to try a place I haven't visited downtown, and we chose the Bistro and Lounge of Bar167. It sits on a little side street with no parking. It is downtown Charleston after all. Either street parking or risk being towed because of private parking. It was a nice day so we ended up finding parking on Queen St. and walked over to the restaurant. It's a cute and small Bistro, boasting about 12-14 tables and a 4-5 top bar. We sat by the window with beautiful plants, although that caused the gnats to fly out to survey our food soon as it came. A slight inconvenience, but only slight. Our Server was Mark. Nothing bad to say about him! He provided recommendations and suggestions on what to stay away from, checked in on us frequently, and was very personable. For appetizers, we had the Calamari. It was a little chewy, but the sauce was delicious and saved the dish. We split a Caesar salad at the recommendation of our server, and the dressing was light like a vinaigrette rather than a thick, traditional Caesar dressing, and added chicken. For lunch, I had the fish of the day, which was tempura battered and fried, and was supposed to be served with mixed vegetables, but none accompanied the dish. The sauce that came with the dish was great and the fish wasn't overcooked. My aunt had the seared scallop dish and the scallops were great, but the bed of field peas, mushrooms and artichokes were less than appetizing. It tasted heavily like a chimichurri seasoning but to be fair, our server did say that dish wasn't a fan favorite. We had mocktails for drinks- the Apollo and the Hera. The Hera was tangy! It has hibiscus, rose, and pineapple, but it was refreshing. My aunt said the Apollo was good. For dessert, we had the Baklava Cheesecake, and it was the best part of the meal. The Baklava was light and flaky and the cheesecake was fluffy and delicious! Overall, pretty good dining experience, but wouldn't be a frequent guest. read more

Such a cute new spot! First of all, their music was amazing; I'm alll about the vibe they have created here. The decor makes you feel like you're in a Mediterranean town! Now let's get started on the food... I went with two friends and we shared a bunch of appetizers and tried a couple of cocktails. All of it was delicious! I do think this is the perfect spot to go before a bigger dinner.. stop by and have a cocktail, share a couple of apps, hang out, and then head out to dinner. Or, if you're into sharing appetizers, get everything on the menu haha, it was so delicious! Check out the pictures to see what we ordered :) the arroz con negro was the winner... so many flavors, so delicious! read more

Charleston is a city filled with exceptional dining and cocktails. This sister bar to Raw Bar 167 and Sushi Bar 167 did not really hit the mark for me. The drinks are very pricey (most wines are $17 or more per glass) and the food was extremely bland and disappointing. I had the salmon crudo and it came in a sea of buttermilk and some green delicious looking oil that comically would not adhere to the fish - it was literally like oil and water trying to fry some of that onto the fish to taste it. The caviar and crispy bits added a nice texture to the salmon but overall, for me, this was a huge miss. It's frustrating to eat such tremendous food at Raw Bar 167 and then have this experience just down the street. The trance music playing was sort of ugh too ... The bar is really beautiful upstairs and the bartender was nice. read more

Let me give you the scoop. If 167 Raw is too busy try this variant. It is not the same but equally as good and a similar menu. Staff is great and service to match. Take a look at the pics below and you can easily see how great the food is. Everything is fresh and just wonderful. If you have never wanted to try caviar and have been apprehensive the cone is the way to go. Not overly salty or fishy, clean mild salty flavor. Bite size and delicious.

YUM!!! This tapas place was probably my favorite place we've gone to. Originally we were trying to go to the sister restaurant but it was an hour and a half late. We got in in less than half an hour.

Overall, would definitely come again. read more
