Fatty's Beer Works
Evan G.

Fatty's Beer Works in Charleston is a great place to go for quality drinks in a cool relaxed atmosphere. I really like their selection and everything that they have available here.

Luckily there are two better breweries within a blocks distance to keep patronage alive. Most space is outdoors and there was a food truck and band present. Easily found and adjacent to Edmund's Oast and Munkle. Beer is forgettable, but to their credit not the worst compared to a majority of the Charleston breweries. At the cusp of locality adequacy.

So we did a mini self-guided Chucktown brewery tour/crawl...13 breweries in 3 days. Charles Towne Fermentory on the west side of the city was my favorite if you were wondering at all, but that's likely because they're geared more toward what I like (New England style unfiltered murky IPA's). Saying this, I did really like the beers here and I'll be looking for them at taprooms and bev centers for sure. I really enjoyed their Collaboration #3, which they have available in cans (see my pic) in house and you can find it at various retailers as well. This place is all about the beer, not the frills. It ain't no yuppie prep hangout. Head over to Edmunds Oast if that's your thing. They don't really do food, but they do have some nice seating at which to lounge. You're basically drinking right there in their brew works, so you know and they don't have a.c. It could get hot as a mofo in here during the day, so be aware of that. They no longer have space for live music as they've added some new brew tankage. Again, they are all about their beer. Their Fatty's head recipe master, Ben, is a really cool dude from Providence originally, but he's been all over, most recently at Sweetwater down in Georgia. We greatly enjoyed talking beer and other things with him when we visited on a Monday night after already visiting like 5 other breweries during that day. Pints will run you 6 per and flights are 10 samoleons for a serving of 4...pretty standard prices really. Unfortunately their parking seems pretty limited out front so be ready for that. Of worth noting, would be that they do 1 dollar 5 oh-zee pours whenever a train blocks traffic nearby...wish I knew the train schedule!

I've gone by this place a bunch but always overlooked it for the bigger breweries. We stopped in for the holiday brew pass and were so pleasantly surprised! The environment was just a really cool vibe, the bartender was so nice, everyone was friendly and they had some cool beers on tap!

I've been to Fatty's with several different groups of patrons, and everyone has always had a great experience. The beers are good and Fatty is quite the character. They have live music when they feel so inclined. In fact, you can play or sing while you are there...as long as you don't suck! The instruments and equipment seem to stay set-up for any whimsical performance that might ensue. Fatty is also quite talented. Parking is basically on the street, but this location lends itself to no issues finding a spot. There is a tattoo parlor next door. Jus sayin! There is a nice grassy lawn out front for good weather days/nights, but most of the seating is inside around the bar. They always have snacks and water available, and will let you taste test any beer you might be interested in. Their bathrooms are always clean. Such a weird thing to point out, but also very important. Fattys is open every evening/night so stop by if you're in the area. If not, plan a special outing with friends to check them out. You are surely in for a treat.

Nice spot right out of downtown with the bar right in the brewery as you'd expect. Friendly bartender and live music in their small outdoor space. I tried the First Shot IPA and the About Time Pale Ale on this visit and enjoyed them both. Snap a pic when you go, tag them on Instagram, and you get $1 off your pint. Not bad for minimal effort on your part. Fatty's is on my way home from work, so I'll probably be back a lot more as I'm interested in trying several more of their offerings.

We drove over to fatty after our anniversary dinner. We met the manager, Bryson. He is AWESOME! Super personable and took the time to hang out with us and chat for a little while. The environment is awesome here and we cannot wait to come back. The beers are super great. My favorite was the sour!

Lazy Hazy IPA
Taylor P.

Hatty the bartender was awesome and really welcoming as I am moving from out of state checking out new breweries. The Lazy Hazy is a solid beer. I'm not a huge IPA person but this one is really smooth

Our Sunday Funday included a stop at Fatty's Beer Works, and we enjoyed it. A more casual open atmosphere, with roll up garage doors. The bar is a L shaped and seats about 10 total. We were welcomed by Fatty himself, a friendly guy who was warm and chatty. There is a nice area with a sofa and casual seating, then there is a small green space right out front to drink and get some sun. I liked there were some bar snacks available to enjoy with our beer. There are about 10 different beer selections and they also have a limited wine selection. I went with the Musket Mule, a French Saison, which had a smooth polished taste and made me want more. Then my husband had the Lazy Hazy, New England IPA, and it was exactly that..an aggressively hopped brew. I like Fatty's Beer Works, this is the perfect after work place to stop by for a cold one. Or stop by on the weekend to relax with others. I think our group enjoyed Fatty's and I know we will be back again.

Zero complaints. Solid brewery. Good beers AND good food!…read more My husband and I sat at the bar for lunch. I got the "Out at Third" which is a Belgian tripel beer. It tasted light and was easy to drink despite the high ABV. I loved it! For lunch, I ordered buffalo wings and a side of fries. Both were better than expected; wings had great flavor and fries were crispy. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out :)

Frothy Beard in Charleston has great food, but the service definitely needs some improvement…read more They always seem a bit understaffed, and items are often forgotten. I actually did an event with them where they walk around and take vendor orders--which is such a smart idea--but I ordered an iced tea and never received it. That said, the food itself was delicious. I had a wrap and fries, and both were really good. If I were rating based on food alone, it would easily be a 5/5. Service-wise, they don't bring out napkins or extras, which is something to note. However, they do have plenty of outdoor seating, making it a great spot to bring your pup and hang out. The ambiance inside is really nice--it's a large space with a relaxed vibe, and there's also a big parking lot, which is convenient. Overall, I'm rating it lower for now due to service, but I'd definitely come back and hope to update this review next time!
