Popped in here for our last night in Charleston. We didn't know what to expect but was impressed to see how big it was once we stepped inside. The back opens up to another bar with outdoor seating, very cool. The bartender out back took our drinks, I forgot her name but she was from California originally, La Jolla area? Anyways, very friendly and was attentive even with all the guests in need. We hung out for hours, meeting locals and enjoying drinks. Decided to order food and they had a cheese dip that was spot on. My wife ordered the steak salad and the steak was overcooked, but when asked how things were, they were quick to make it right, and brought out another steak to fix the issue. 5 stars! I hope they see this review and know that they are doing something right. I do wish they had better merch. I wanted to buy stuff but was told their shirts shrink quite a bit after washing. Bummer. read more

Listen, it's a great bar. The courtyard is nice. There is an ample amount of options for drinks. But... What does that matter if you're ushered out before closing? A group of about 8 of us went out for drinks Saturday (5/2/26). We were having a great time (respectful, quiet, not causing a problem). Last call hit at 1:30 so we decided one more drink before we went our ways home. 10 mins later we're were asked to leave the courtyard and head inside - not a problem. We will finish our drinks inside. 5 minutes after that, we were asked to take our last sips and leave. 15 mins before the posted closing time. Again, we weren't causing a problem, weren't loud, weren't disruptive. This was a group of 8, most of us well into our 40s (or older). But they were telling all guests to leave at 1:45a?? Just after we bought drinks? The posted hours say they close at 2a. Not 1:45a. Most of us left half finished drinks. The large bouncer was nice enough, the tiny one in a hoodie with glasses was totally unprofessional. So beware. The Blind Tiger has what it takes to remain a Charleston institution. Their staff, might ruin that chance. read more

Went to Blind Tiger after the Cooper River Bridge Run and had a great time. Place was packed with runners and just an awesome vibe all around. They had a band playing and Gatorade cocktails which were actually a huge hit. I got the tacos and they were really good, plus the portion size was pretty big which was nice. Only downside is the bathroom situation. It's kind of a mess. You're looking at like a 30 minute wait and there just aren't enough stalls for a crowd like that. read more

Our first afternoon in Charleston coincided with the first day of March Madness. What better way to enjoy the games than sitting at a nice bar in a city we'd never been to? Our server, Blythe, was super friendly and made us feel welcome. She also made great drinks, especially the Orange Crushes! Very fun place with plenty of TV's! Glad we found it! read more

Blind Tiger Pub - Beer and wine - American Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I have stopped here a few times over the years. Once during a pub tour, once for a late lunch with some friends, and then again, most recently, for the holiday festivities at Christmas. For the most part, I think you have to have a reservation during any possibly popular time or you won't get a table. The outside sitting area is nice, but when super busy, good luck getting a drink at the bar. Inside is nice, especially during the holidays. On our last visit, snagged the last 2 seats at the inside bar because it was either that, or nothing. It's super cute, the bartender was nice and friendly. We tried a couple of their holiday drinks, which overall, were pretty good. I have only had lunch here once and the food wasn't bad - nothing too crazy or amazing, but solid. It's a popular spot and you'll have a better experience if you make a reservation. read more

This is the first time that I went at Christmas time and it was quite a nice surprise! The entire bar and outdoor patio are decked out and decorated for the holiday. If you're looking for a wonderful place that has character, charm and feels like that local pub you've been searching for then you'll definitely want to make a stop at Blind Tiger this holiday season. It was even more fun because right now they have a special holiday menu that fits right in with everything that's going on. On this visit, I enjoyed a Holliday Mule, which is actually a delicious citrus version of a Moscow Mule. We also enjoyed the super soft and chewy pretzel sticks with the white cheese dip, which were served warm and perfectly salted. We also enjoyed the buffalo chicken dip, which we elected to get the potato chips. Definitely a great choice if you're looking for two delicious appetizers on Broad Street. Pro Tip: I would definitely recommend that you plan ahead a little bit as it can get very busy during the holiday season and some times can be a substantial wait depending on the time of day that you're there. However, once you're in, you'll probably forget all about the wait and actually enjoy yourselves in a special way that is uniquely what the tiger has to offer! ; ) Prost & Guten Appetite! read more

Fun dive bar in downtown charleston! This place is a charleston darling and for good reason. There are 2 bars inside and plenty of outside space as well. It can get a little crowded, but they do a good job with service. They also have a fun Christmas vibe in December, which is when we came. We ordered festive drinks and the bleu chips appetizer. The peppermint White Russian was so yummy, however the Santa's secret punch was a little bland. The chips are always a hit though. Check out this place any time for a great divey vibe, or add it to your Christmas bar crawl! read more

A classic Charleston spot! Blind Tiger Pub is perfect for a martini on a fun night out or a casual bite. Keep an eye on their calendar for oyster roasts, they're always such a good time. I've been here numerous times in the year and a half I've lived in Charleston, but I had to leave a review to rave about their buffalo tots. They're unlike anything I've ever had. I'm a sucker for anything buffalo, and the blue cheese crumbles on top was the perfect touch. The portion was huge, but we still managed to clean the plate in minutes. I always recommend grabbing a seat at the first-come, first-serve bar or enjoying a drink out back on their porch. And if you go during the holidays, try something from their festive drink menu. I've loved everything I've tried! read more

Stop in for a bite or drinks. This old style full servicr pub accommodated our large group as a meeting place for some libations. The indoor seating was plentiful but we chose the outside patio and Joe as our bartender who kept quite busy, making drinks and cleaning up empties. Enjoy! read more

This was our last stop of the day, and it ended up being the perfect way to wind things down. The back patio is pet friendly and surprisingly spacious--plenty of room to stretch out and relax, even with a pup in tow. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like fans to keep the air moving and water bowls set out so dogs could stay cool and comfortable. It had such a laid-back, welcoming vibe, the kind of place where you could easily linger for hours. The only minor drawback was the lack of an outdoor bartender, which meant we had to head inside to order our drinks, but it wasn't too much of a hassle. Once everything was in hand, we settled in and shared the tuna nachos as an appetizer--and they were absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh and perfectly balanced, definitely one of those dishes you'd come back for again. Between the food, drinks, and relaxed atmosphere, it was a wonderful way to wrap up the day. Went again during Christmas time: This spot is always a good time and was decorated beautifully for Christmas, both inside and out. The outdoor bar was fairly busy for a Wednesday evening, but we still had great service and excellent drinks. I ordered the Mrs. Clause's Martini with spiced pear Tanqueray gin, St. Germain, cinnamon, and lime for $15. It was very light, refreshing, and easy to drink. My husband had the Crimson Noel made with Casamigos Blanco tequila, pomegranate, grapefruit, ginger syrup, and soda for $15. He enjoyed it, though he didn't feel it was especially Christmassy. We shared one appetizer, the bleu chips, which are house kettle chips topped with gorgonzola fondue, crumbled bleu cheese, hot sauce, bacon, and scallions for $13. We added chicken for an extra $6. The flavors were great, and it was a very tasty appetizer. My only small critique is that the sauces could be layered a bit better, since once you get through the top layer, the chips underneath are a little bare. Our total bill came to $55. We've reviewed Blind Tiger several times before, so I'll keep this short. They consistently deliver good food, solid cocktails, and a great atmosphere. read more

Came here with a group of 6 on a Sunday. We had made reservations the day prior so we were able to get seated quickly. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. Oysters were very good. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich unfortunately was not hot nor did it look anything like the online menu photos. Was still a good chicken sandwich just not what we thought we were getting. The Parmesan truffle fries were delicious. We sat outside on the back patio and they had adequate shade so no one was stuck sitting in the sun. read more

The bouncers were rude and impersonal. At 1:40 when the bar "closed" they were shuffling and shooting people out. Saw one bouncer grab a beer from a girl out of her hand and say "get out" at 1:40, when the bar closed at 2:00. Very terrible service. The bartenders were actually very polite and efficient. Other than that, staff sucks. read more

GREAT place to come after a HOT walking tour. There was a wait for 2; 30 minutes. The bathrooms were nice (they have 4) and the A/c felt amazing lol. We needed a snack before our next adventure. It was around 2:00 in the afternoon. We ordered the orange crush -tequila, FRESH squeezed orange juice, soda water. So refreshing and fresh. Ordered smoked wings and a side of plain fries . You can order truffle fries but my mom is not a fan. The smoked wings had an amazing Smokey/sweet dry rub with a take on Alabama white BBQ sauce, celery sticks, and the fries were crispy and perfect shareable. Overall, a win on this hot Charleston day read more

Fun and famous old pub that is (apparently) haunted! This was the second stop on our haunted pub crawl. Sadly no sightings of anything supernatural but we did spot a few weirdo guys making obscene faces behind our group in a picture, haha. All of the bartenders were super friendly and it's pretty spacious if you go into the section on the right. I had me a yummy pumpkin beer, perfect for October. Definitely a stop for your Charleston trip if you like booze and boos! read more

This place was a solid brunch option for our bachelorette group. We enjoyed a large table outside, mimosas, and the food. The hash brown casserole was sort of gross, I wish it had just been normal hashbrowns. We were also disappointed that they didn't have espresso or flavoring for coffee. read more

We ate a late lunch at The Blind Tiger on April 6, 2026. The food was delicious. However we waited 1 hour to get a glass of wine I had ordered and 1 hour and 45 minutes to get our food. The waitress had written our order on a napkin and apparently thrown it away. She said the computer printed the order incorrectly ...I don't think so. This was around 3:00 pm, so not their busy time. Inexcusable. read more

Good good, fine service. It was a super crowded rainy Saturday afternoon.... No fault of the establishment for sure. Anything to complain about? Not really. Anything to praise? Not necessarily. Definitely solid though- don't be afraid to try it out ... Maybe make a reservation if you have more than 2 people (we had 4). read more

We made a reservation 3 weeks in advance - for the terrace. We had several confirmation reminders which we said yes to. When we arrived with nine people including a toddler at 5:30 pm, they said they had a wedding on the terrace and offered us a table just inside the door, with a view of a dumpster. Zero apology. It was so loud we had to yell to hear each other. It was too late to wander around trying to find a place that could take a party our size. It was my 60th birthday- 6 of us flew in from New Hampshire to celebrate. The food was 3/5, service 4/5, atmosphere 1/5. I feel they had to have known they had the wedding- it would be common sense and courteous to not take other reservations at the same time. Incredibly disappointed with the uncaring attitude. read more

Charleston for 24 hours, and Blind tiger was a recommendation! Ambiance was everything I wanted, gorgeous Christmas decor, and lovely vibe! Very chill, laid back, seemed like a great little local place. Definitely felt the southern hospitality and our server was very kind. Sat at high top, and would've went outdoors but it was pouring so voted against that. However the back garden looked pretty cool to hang out in. Orderd the fish tacos and was not disappointed. They were LOADED with fish and such a great flavor! Also ordered a side of truffle fries, and yum. But they never disappoint. My brother had some kind of sandwich and as you can see, SO good, look at all the cheese! He very much enjoyed it, although said the cheese was a little excessive (how??! :) We just ordered beers so no cocktail comments, but otherwise, all was really stellar! Definitely worth a visit!! read more

Came up early on our "to do list" while visiting Charleston. Hot and thirsty near lunch time, we stopped for a beer. We sat at the bar and the service was excellent. We had a mimosa, crab dip and a cold, frosty beer. Cool, old, dark wood bar, smaller inside bar, nice patio and inside dining. Nick was our bartender/server was great! read more

My wife and I stopped in on the recommendation of a merchant while we were touring Charleston by foot. Apparently, this is the oldest tavern in Charleston. Must say we were so happy when we sat down and were able to sample their terrific, cocktails and menu! My wife and I both decided on their honeysuckle old fashion. It was a delicious concoction! We decided on their blue chips and followed that up with their tuna poke. Our meal was absolutely delicious! Our server did a terrific job of answering our questions. She was friendly and personable! Although it is known as Charleston's oldest Tavern, it is certainly one of the nicer ones we've visited. Well, worth the hike! read more

Our hotel recommended this place to us. Of course my husband looked on line before we decided to go there. He noticed the outdoor patio was the best place for us. For a relaxing time with a great vibe I'd definitely eat out on the patio. It was beautiful, shaded, tv's, a bar and you could hear the live music well from the inside bar and eating area. Our server was Avery....she was AWESOME!! She was so friendly and helpful by giving us great insight to choose our drinks and food. She was spot on with all her recommendations! She checked on us at just the right times. She had impeccable server skills!! Our cocktails were the El Tigre and the Rum punch(can't remember the exact name it it) Both were so good. The drinks weren't weak at all. Our appetizers were the Voodoo wings....beyond delicious!!!!...and the boiled peanuts as we haven't had them before. We didn't care for the taste, but that's just a preference thing. For our main dish, we split the Nashville Hot Chicken, Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. Those were the best brussel sprouts ever!!! The Mac and cheese was very good. Loved the green onion and bacon on top. The chicken sandwich did not come out like the picture on the menu from their website. The chicken piece was small and a bit tuff. Maybe we just got the little piece that night. On a positive note we never waited long for anything to arrive to our table. Avery was always on top of it. Overall, we loved this place and would eat here again. It was a great experience!!! read more

It was alright. It is bar food so go in expecting that and not super elevated food. I had the Burrata which I added shrimp to, a dirty martini and a half dozen oysters. The oysters were great - hard to mess up - but still great. The martini was solid, I asked for very dirty and it was not so but thats okay from a pub. The biggest let down was the burrata, it wasn't runny as burrata should be it was more of a chunk of mozzarella. The salad wasnt bad by any means but it just wasn't as good as I hoped or it could have been. I do have to say though that the service was impeccable! Our waitress (unsure her name but it was her 3rd day on 05/08) was phenomenal she genuinely elevated our experience so much and deserves a raise! Overall would come back for lunch or a more bar focused meal but wouldn't return for a sit down dinner. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner and all the food was excellent. As is expected, it was super loud and rowdy, but of course it is. The chicken dip is very good as are the chips. Will definitely be back for food! I'm pretty sure the coke I ordered was a pepsi which isn't the end of the world but i wish they would've told me lol read more

Overall, a solid bar experience. I wish they had flights of beer or at least smaller pours, but they don't. Service was great sitting at the bar and though I thought I was going to have a burger coming here, someone recommended the Shrimp & Grits - Pan-seared shrimp, andouille sausage, peppers, and caramelized onions, in a sherry cream sauce served over a fried grit cake. That is not my go-to dish, but when I looked at the online menu and heard their recommendation, well, I needed to try it. What really changed it up was the fried grit cake part. Yes, come here for that if you've never had it served that way before. Otherwise, it is a friendly bar experience with quite a bit of seating inside and a lot of foot traffic for not being on the main drag. read more

We chose The Blind Tiger for our Christmas dinner, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the festive holiday décor and cozy ambience set the perfect tone for the evening. The service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and seamless from start to finish. The fish tacos were absolutely phenomenal, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The Christmas cocktails were creative and delicious, and the wine selection paired beautifully with our meal. As Charleston natives who don't visit downtown nearly enough, this was a wonderful reminder of how special our local dining scene truly is. We enjoyed every moment and will definitely be returning--often. Highly recommend for great food, excellent service, and an inviting atmosphere. read more

Always solid food and the back patio is gorgeous! Their cocktails are also fun and tasty. For a downtown spot, you can grab parking in a couple garages that aren't too far of a walk.
