Every time I find myself in Charleston I must stop here. Not your average bar at all. I like that they change up their menu so every time I visit there is something new to try. 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. read more

The last trip to Charleston, we made a reservation for Doar Bros to pop in for a cocktail after dinner. 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! read more

We sought out this place due to it's good reputation for cocktails. Absolutely wonderful ambiance. And our service was also above average. The drinks were fantastic. We had 2 fine bourbon drinks (a Manhattan and one with whipped cream on top). I had the Paloma. Great options and a lovely hour in a beautiful setting. read more

So good. We went every day we were in Charleston. Get the bourbon and Clyde obviously. Also get the clarified milk punch. Total favorites. The Tatas is good too, very refreshing. Ticket to paradise is delicious but more grapefruit forward. The mole drink I think is good if you like mezcal and consider that you're drinking mole. I think a very craft quality drink just wasn't for me. The smoked drink was also delicious. The popcorn is so so good and the cheese board is really nice. The staff and owners are lovely. Loved it. I think this is a can't miss in Charleston. It's awesome. read more

We ended our night at Doar Bros for a couple drinks before calling it a night. It looked like you could order food as well but we didn't as we had already ate. Drinks were smooth and refreshing! If you are looking for a place for a night cap I would strongly suggest you take a look here! read more

Before dinner cocktails. We had a great corner booth. Amazing cocktail menu obviously very well planned with seasonal offerings. Would definitely go here again for before dinner drinks before it gets too crowded. Great service and atmosphere. read more

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon right when they opened, grabbed a seat at the bar, and had a great time. I had the Doar Bros. Manhattan and it was delicious, perfect with a maraschino cherry. My companion had the Bourbon & Clyde and it was equally delicious. The foam on top was more like a merengue; outstanding. To munch on, we had the brown butter truffle popcorn... wow! So good and perfect with the parm cheese on top. Had we not had dinner plans right after, we would've ordered a second bag of popcorn to go. Doar Bros. has a warm ambiance with modern cocktails that won't disappoint! read more

Do I remember what this was? No I don't. But I remember the sweet tang that hits the palate with a sour note initially, followed by a citrus refresher that cools your sensations like a cold lemonade on a hot southern day. AMAZING! Unlike any cocktail I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Try them all and start your night here! Cheers read more

Doar Bros. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I visited Doar Bros. with a couple people from work to have an after dinner drink. It is a small, intimate cocktail bar that quickly fills for a very good reason. The cocktails here are exquisite. The problem with Charleston is how many great places there are to drink and eat, it is hard to stand out but Doar Bros. manages to succeed well! Despite the number of people, it was very easy to hear everyone in my group which caught my attention. This place was packed and yet no issue carrying on conversation with ease. The service was amazing. Our waiter kept the drinks coming, discussed the various alcohols, and managed to somehow deliver very full cocktails without spilling a drop. I was hugely impressed. The cocktails are where they shine though. I ordered a gimlet. It was one of the best gimlets I have ever drank - perfectly balanced, silky smooth, easy on the stomach. It was brilliant. read more

This was my 4th time here... and it just keeps getting better! I honestly could say you could basically order any of their craft cocktails and be completely satisfied. I've tried 5-6 now and even the ones I was skeptical about were my new favorites I will always love my first drink there the best Hahns Provisions, but all others I have ordered were outstanding. I also enjoyed the caviar service and most all their small plates they offer. Make a reservation... it's a tiny place. But so worth it. Enjoy! read more

Delicious cocktail bar! It's small and intimate, so expect a bit of a wait during peak times. But it was worth it! The cocktails are extremely well crafted, with unique spins on classics. The Warm Burrow had a delicious spice and freshness. Bourbon & Clyde was like a dessert and that pistachio topping blew my socks off. We also were fortunate enough to taste the hot toddy. They all were divine. Our bartenders were fun and knowledgeable. We did not order any food this time but others around us did and it looked wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

This little cocktail bar is such a gem! This is my second time visiting because the first time was such a great experience. Their cocktail menu is extensive and very well done, their bartenders know what they're doing and make what I call a beautifully crafted cocktail.

Rare for us to go the same place twice on a vacation, but we loved this cocktail bar. Beautiful, intimate space. Service was very friendly. And, most importantly, the drinks were killer. I had a great paper plane on one visit, and a couple of their signature cocktails on another. The one called "A Warm Burrow" was excellent, sweet, both spiced and spicy. Great balance. The bartenders were also very accommodating about making my wife a range of mocktails, all interesting and tasty. Pro tip - definitely order the brown butter truffle popcorn to go along with your drinks. Perfect elevated bar snack. read more

Small intimate bar. Visited Doar Bros during a Bar Crawl with The Cocktail Bandits. We had 2 drinks that were delicious, and charcuterie board, and garlic popcorn. All were tasty, but the garlic popcorn will hold a space in my memory for a long time. It was so good. Otherwise the service was great, and they provided good information about the drinks and food. Will be visiting them again. read more

We decided to stop by Doar Bros for drinks before our dinner reservations. They seat you as a first come first serve basis, including at the bar. We were lucky enough to be seated immediately upon arrival. It's a small spot with limited seating, standing, and outside space. The vibes were moody and elevated. I enjoyed both my drinks that I ordered and would definitely recommend this location to smaller groups wanting to check it out! read more

After Adam Doar reached it to explain that the State also charges a 5% liquor tax ( which I did not include in my review) -- the bill ( taxes etc. ) was accurate . Go enjoy a cozy little cocktail spot - that serves inventively tasty drinks! read more

We loved this place in the past, so we took 4 friends there last night after dinner. Terrible experience; we won't return. The female bartender was beyond rude. Nothing will ruin a great place like terrible service. So many wonderful places in Charleston with amazing service. Sadly this is no longer one of them. read more

I love visiting a new city and checking out the best cocktail bar in town. In Charleston, that's Doar Brothers. And unlike most bougie cocktail spots, it also manages to stay comfortable and approachable at the same time. I had the Bourbon and Clyde, which was a delicious dessert cocktail, and another drink that is no longer on the menu and whose name I can't recall. Both were well balanced and delicious. I also had the bread pudding, which took a few minutes to come out but really hit the spot. I ended the night with a carajillo, which is a coffee drink that they make with Licor 43. It was a little sweet with a perfect shot of caffeine to perk me up before heading home. I'll be back at Doar Brothers whenever I'm in Charleston! read more

The drinks were amazing! The service was excellent. I recommend the popcorn which was a great snack with our drinks.

I don't know what it is about Charleston, but the restaurants here have been nothing but amazing! This bar was not only super cute, but had delicious cocktails and amazing snacks. We loved the popcorn and couldn't get enough of it. Their cheeseboard was also very tasty. We each got different cocktails, and liked every single one. I would highly recommend this bar. read more

If you know and appreciate, cocktails, you will love the house favorites. They are a well cut above the average. That's because the mixologists know what they are doing. It is worth every penny. If you don't know cocktails that much, ask for a recommendation. The staff wants to serve! read more

Best part of my Charleston experience! I got a classic clover club (they have a full service bar regardless of what's on the menu) and my friend had a delicious espresso martini. The clover club's raspberry syrup was homemade and was spectacular. The drinks were such a great start to the night. The area is on the smaller side but if you can get a spot it was very homey, with enough space between tables, and some outdoor seating as well. Perfect place for drinks!! read more

I remember visiting when they first opened, and I'm so happy to find them still around! An odd location for such an amazing cocktail bar in my opinion, but once you step inside the vibe is amazing. The bartender (Erin) let me have a taste of licor 43 after I asked about it as one of the ingredients of my cocktail. She makes a great drink! I went with a friend this time but it's also a place I love to sit alone and chill or people watch the pedestrians. My favorite drinks so far are the truly madly swiftie and bourbon and Clyde. I also love a menu with a milk punch! read more

Great spot for a pre or post dinner cocktail. We went post dinner on a Wednesday night and we're able to walk in without reservations. Small intimate setting with a handful of tables and about 8 bar seats. We sat at the bar and had excellent cocktails and the cheeseboard. Definitely not a place for dinner but the cheese board was perfect "dessert" for us. Next time I will try the popcorn. read more
