    Solid sports bar kinda hidden away from hustle and bustle of Charleston King street or the BBQ district--but still within the brewery district. I was surprised with the wings, very good. I went with ranch dip and let my friend take the cheese dip for their fries. Cheese dip for wings must be a style I'm not familiar with, haha! The service was pretty organized and quick, even though it seemed busier than usual with college sports playing. This place has a lot of potential, being next to the music venue and having easy parking options. I recommend for watching your team play here with many different TVs, Go Sports! Cheers!

    Fantastic atmosphere!! Tucked away over by the Refinery venue, this place is bright, and full of energy! They have a full bar with fun twist on drinks as well as drinks on tap, including daiquiris, Moscow mules, and ranch water! They also offer food. We had the garlic waffle fries that were fantastic. This is one of those places you walk and know it was a great find! We will definitely be back next time we are in Charleston!!

    Went in twice for wine events during the Euros and had some beverages and food. Good start for this place! I will go back. The staff was friendly, they have enough space and plenty of TVs to make it a sports bar worth going to. Hopefully, they add more TVs outside or at least speakers.

    Had some great food and drinks here! It's a big open place with an industrial meets sporty vibe. My partner and I were some of the only patrons there on a Monday at 5:30 so everything was very quick. I had the Nothing But Fernet cocktail which is an excellent mix of fernet and Thai tea! I've been wanting to see fernet if more cocktail menus and this was so good! My partner got a local edmunds oast beer and we split the 1lb wings (came with 6 large wings) and the Italian-ish sandwich. I'm always impressed with unique wings. Spicy flavor but not saucy, but also not dry rubber. Idk how they do it but it was great and served with cheese dip?! Why have I never seen this before! The sandwich was good but I wish the bread was grilled since there was a lot of olive oil on it. We didn't even ask to split it and they put it on two plates for us! My partner didn't think there were enough TVs to be deemed a 'sports bar', but I liked it cus there weren't 100 flashing screens in your face. Can't wait to try more of their cocktails and a dawg next time!

    We were super excited to try Cleats! The chicken wings were the highlight of our meal. We would get those again for sure. We both got a pit beef sandwich which was good, but I would try something different next time. We were the only customers there when we came by, so things could have been a little off because of that. Overall I would definitely try it again.

    Decent drink selection, lots of TV's for sports but the place was kind of sterile. No real ambiance

    I love this restaurant because it's right by the Charleston market and is great for people watching…read moreand the interior is decorated beautifully. Stopped in mid day on Saturday and didn't have a reservation and had to wait about 15 minutes which isn't too bad. You can walk around the hotel while you wait. They had a specialty fall cocktail menu which was super cool. I ordered the Haunted Market Street Margarita and it was amazing. It had charcoal simple syrup and lava salt which gave it such an interesting flavor. We shared the Pimento cheese appetizer and I am so glad we ordered. It was so good and the presentation was beautiful. I don't normally enjoy pimento but I did here. My parents shared the turkey club and said it was great. Will always stop by when I'm in Charleston. Great place to watch a game if you can get a seat at the bar.

The service was warm and friendly, and their attitudes couldn't have been more pleasant. The pimento cheese was spot on and delivered by the executive sous chef herself. I have never had a Smashburger before, but if this is what I compare them all to this one is definitely a winner.

    Our first stop on this Charleston trip & it wasn't on my list but I'm so glad we stumbled upon it!…read moreWe sat outside in the outdoor area, where you order at the bar and the bartenders will bring your drinks, and food out. It was easy & we loved our lunches! I chose the double smash burger which was so delicious and filling! Loved it! Hubs chose the Cobb chicken salad and he loved it! Ate every bite & reports that the chicken was fried perfectly without too many clumps or batter lumps. We would absolutely come back for brunch items! Cool things: the bathroom wallpaper was epic, outside they have a water cooler with cups for self help access & a dog bowl for those who bring their pups. Loved that!

    Listen, it's a great bar. The courtyard is nice. There is an ample amount of options for drinks…read more 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.
