The music was so fun, throwback after throwback (early 2000s) and the drinks were cheap! I felt like the crowd was younger (I'm late 20s) so they weren't dancing much but me and my friends were (we knew the songs... it looked like the gen z patrons didn't). There was plenty of room on the dance floor and we even were able to sit down at a booth with a table. So we were able to put our drinks down and get on the dance floor! This place is cute for a date or a night out with friends. Such a fun vibe. I hope more people find out about this place and come check it out! Casual attire is fine. Check out their Instagram, they announce who will be DJing each night so you can know what the vibe is. I saw they have like live bands sometimes too so it seems like a cool spot for all different kinds of music!

We…read moredont go out a lot anymore because I hate packed out bars where drinks are getting poured on me by underage kids. That wasn't the case here. The decor and vibes are immaculate.

The draw for us was Friday evenings from 5-8 I believe, if you order a cocktail you get a free basket of truffle fries! And the fries were really delicious. We love a good deal. The cocktails were great. Probably a little overpriced, but normal for Charleston. And our cocktails were pretty big so... it was a win. And can we just talk about this bathroom!! Swans for sinks! Just makes the whole experience worthwhile.

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 last trip to Charleston, we made a reservation for Doar Bros to pop in for a cocktail after…read moredinner. I loved the atmosphere! It's super cozy, very chic, and pretty small. 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!

BEST SHUCKED OYSTERS IN TOWN. You read that right. Aside…read morefrom fantastic taste and 2/3 being local oysters, there was not one piece of shell in any of them. 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.

Pretty standard drink offerings - what you'd expect at a dive bar. But a little too crowded for this grumpy old lady!

Scotty Doesn't Know might be one of South Carolina's best kept secrets. 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.

The views of downtown Charleston up here were pretty amazing, especially during sunset.
