After several days of mediocre conference food, a stroll took me past Big John's. Exactly the…read moreantidote I was looking for after lukewarm shrimp and soggy cracker appetizers. (entirely elsewhere, let me be clear!!) There I had a crisp cold local beer and a fantastic burger, just screamingly hot and fresh. The bartender was friendly, and there was Scooby Doo on the overhead tv along with the usual offering of sports. Bliss!

Our first stop on this Charleston trip & it wasn't on my list but I'm so glad we stumbled upon it!…read moreWe sat outside in the outdoor area, where you order at the bar and the bartenders will bring your drinks, and food out. It was easy & we loved our lunches! I chose the double smash burger which was so delicious and filling! Loved it! Hubs chose the Cobb chicken salad and he loved it! Ate every bite & reports that the chicken was fried perfectly without too many clumps or batter lumps. We would absolutely come back for brunch items! Cool things: the bathroom wallpaper was epic, outside they have a water cooler with cups for self help access & a dog bowl for those who bring their pups. Loved that!

Listen, it's a great bar. The courtyard is nice. There is an ample amount of options for drinks…read more But... What does that matter if you're ushered out before closing? A group of about 8 of us went out for drinks Saturday (5/2/26). We were having a great time (respectful, quiet, not causing a problem). Last call hit at 1:30 so we decided one more drink before we went our ways home. 10 mins later we're were asked to leave the courtyard and head inside - not a problem. We will finish our drinks inside. 5 minutes after that, we were asked to take our last sips and leave. 15 mins before the posted closing time. Again, we weren't causing a problem, weren't loud, weren't disruptive. This was a group of 8, most of us well into our 40s (or older). But they were telling all guests to leave at 1:45a?? Just after we bought drinks? The posted hours say they close at 2a. Not 1:45a. Most of us left half finished drinks. The large bouncer was nice enough, the tiny one in a hoodie with glasses was totally unprofessional. So beware. The Blind Tiger has what it takes to remain a Charleston institution. Their staff, might ruin that chance.

Service was a bit slower since we were the only guests outside, but our server was very friendly. We ordered the Bookmaker and the Irish Club along with our pints of Mangers and Guinness. The Bookmaker was a French dip type of sandwich. it was touted as a prime rib sandwich, but could have used a lot more beef and a lot less gristle. The Irish club was very tasty and had lots of turkey but not a lot of corned beef and the meat wasn't evenly distributed throughout the sandwich. We substituted side salads for the fries, and it was an extremely substantial portion of salad-very nice!

The food is typical American pub food. The wings; either bone in or boneless, are great with plenty of flavors available. The smash burger is the absolute best! They would also recommend the pub favorite French Dip. The drink prices are very reasonable. They have a large selection of local brews as well as popular brands.

Stopped in mid day on Saturday and didn't have a reservation and had to wait about 15 minutes which isn't too bad. You can walk around the hotel while you wait. They had a specialty fall cocktail menu which was super cool. I ordered the Haunted Market Street Margarita and it was amazing. It had charcoal simple syrup and lava salt which gave it such an interesting flavor. We shared the Pimento cheese appetizer and I am so glad we ordered. It was so good and the presentation was beautiful. I don't normally enjoy pimento but I did here. My parents shared the turkey club and said it was great. Will always stop by when I'm in Charleston. Great place to watch a game if you can get a seat at the bar.

The service was warm and friendly, and their attitudes couldn't have been more pleasant. The pimento cheese was spot on and delivered by the executive sous chef herself.

Parking can be a little tricky though, so you'll probably need to find street parking nearby. Only thing I'd say is the whole "best burger in Charleston" claim feels questionable at best.

Our service would have made this 5 stars but we have lots of other choices on King Street that will have staff more excited for our business.
