The decor is what it is and we don't mind. It is pretty much the only place in Charleston that has an outdoor patio and a rather large one at that. It is also dog-friendly on the patio. Thursday nights in the summer they have a grill night and offer your choice out of two meat options and comes with a couple sides. Very delicious and very reasonably priced. FYI, if you're interested in eating on Thursdays, you should call them in the afternoon to reserve your meal as they usually are reserved up pretty quickly. It's not something you can arrive at the bar and just order. They sponsor the local kickball league so you'll often see young folks in their team T-shirt's hanging out on the patio after the game. You'll see a diverse mix of people at this bar and it's definitely a safe bar to imbibe at. The drinks are very inexpensive compared to anywhere else. Great spot! Locals approved!

The body area had some sport activities that the kids enjoyed interacting with. The lower level had a travel wild kratts exhibit that we did not spend much time at, the climbing area, and an interactive city where we spent most of our time. On the top floor there is an art museum with some hands on play area for the kids. They also were able to paint with water colors. Parking was across the street from the building so easy to get to. They did have a cafe but the food was mediocre. I recommend eating before or after your trip.

They have male and female but always love to see a family bathroom so I am not fighting for my life when my kid needs to potty. It was very clean and well kept but we did go as soon as they opened. 5 out of 5 This place is 3 stories tall they do have different options stairs and 2 different elevators to help anyone explore all locations. Play options: They have a waterworks the roof does leak but they have over covers for kids to protect their clothing over all a nice water station. 3.5 out of 5 Outer space was quite lackluster and not very play forward more informative 2 out of 5 One place we loved and spent most of our time was the interactive village too cute!!! Vet, Dr, theater, mechanic, grocery store, garden, fire pit, and so much more this is by far the highlight! 5 out of 5 They did have an open and active maker space with many different options for crafts! 5 out of 5 They do have a cafe with options of food you can buy so you can play longer. 5 out of 5 The front desk was so kind and very helpful with any questions we may have had. But I wasn't sure about parking if it was free or if we had to pay. When calling back I didn't get an answer. 3 out of 5 Last but not least the price for 2 kids and 3 adults total was under $60 and when leaving for lunch we could came back to play some more. So with that it was very worth the money! 5 out of 5 Over all experience: 4 out of 5

While service as far as bar staff goes is great leadership within this moose is lackluster at best. They play the same music over and over usually involves only 50's-80's style music. The DJ they offer for this location does not like change and has on numerous times went against members asking for newer and more up beat music. The style of bands they offer it's member also fall really short, while some are ok most are mediocre at best. Food is ok, atmosphere though is meh, most patrons are older and as hearsay are rude and obnoxious not as friendly as they portray online. Overall it's not bad if you and a few friends want to hangout and have a few cold ones to pass the time, but this isn't as fancy as it used to be under this new leadership. So I don't recommend this location sadly as it's one of the few close to many areas that can offer a great wonderful experience.

This is the place you go to when you're just looking for a fun place to relax, enjoy a drink or two, enjoy some wings or a burger, listen to some music, and appreciate an attentive and caring wait staff. I picked The Bucket because they're in an RV hospitality program, arriving at around dinner time. I was well served by Jordan who was lovely, friendly and didn't mind me taking this table for about four hours. It's just too hot outside and it's nice and cool inside. They weren't ever busy enough that they needed my table. The only point off is that there's only one table with a power outlet which didn't make a difference tonight. Beers were cold, the wings were perfect, and I had an absolutely perfect evening. [Review 747 of 2026 - 214 in West Virginia - 25928 overall]
