He had some other big bozo with him and I didn't appreciate their aura. As the kids say "they didn't pass the vibe check." Next thing you know somebody pushed the NJ guy into my stool. I am too old for that mess so I settled up my tab and left. Enter Cutty Bar which is indeed in the cut. This was such a pleasant departure from the busy barroom I left at Recovery. As Kris Kristofferson said "friendly shadows." Cutty is a beautiful little bar to take a load off.

I tried to calmly explain that it is out of state, that this is not the case and showed them the holographic overlay (something a fake id would not replicate) but they ignored this, insisted it was too bendy to be real. I eventually convinced them to give it back and left. I wished they understood that this is a college town and that people will have IDs from other states made of different qualities of plastic, bending it is not a reliable way to prove an ID is fake

Popped into rec room last night for a couple late night cold ones and I'm happy to say that it…read morestill feels the same as it used to. It's true that I don't go out downtown as much anymore, but rec room was a regular haunt for me back in the day. While the age of the crowd has gotten younger or maybe I've gotten older the welcoming vibes that rec room offers to all walks of life is undeniable. I remember it being busy in the past, but never as packed as I saw it last night. Still a great time but cutting through the crowd to get to the bathroom was nothing short of Olympic athleticism. That being said, I can't wait to come back.

The only downside was the wait at the bar; I stood there for about 15 minutes before anyone came over. It was busy, but not so crowded that I would've expected such a long wait for a drink. On the plus side, it is pet-friendly, which is always a win in my book. I didn't order any food during this visit, so I can't comment on the menu, but the atmosphere itself was laid-back and easygoing.

Burger was very stereotypical smash burger style but really good, the fries were shoestring which I love, nice and crispy, with large flakes of salt which is soooo perfect. Burger wasn't greasy and had real cheddar cheese and some pickles too. Super well executed. Bad tender who took my order was friendly and the burger came out fast. They do a bunch of live music, have outdoor seating, etc. it's just really good food, dive bar atmosphere, prices were typical for Charleston. Good mix! Oh and free parking! Always welcome in this town where I assume any meal will cost me $5-40 extra for parking. J.Ja

The food was delicious--especially the oysters, which were outstanding and offered a great assortment of options to choose from. Everything we tried was fresh and expertly prepared. The restaurant is located in a beautiful historic building, which adds a lot of charm and character to the experience. While the dining area is on the second floor--which was a bit challenging since my wife is dealing with mobility issues--this is not a fault of the restaurant itself and didn't take away from the overall quality of the experience. It is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere made it well worth it. Highly recommend and would absolutely return.
