Great views at sunset made for a nice evening as did the live music. Order at bar and food served to your table. Food was just ok. Bar grub selections and we chose the Brussels sprouts as an app which were tasty. For the meal we ordered a burger and a club sandwich each with fries. The burger was standard but good, the club was texture-less Texas toast with plasticized lunch meat. Left feeling dissatisfied. read more

Very quiet at lunchtime and out of season. A conference was taking place so the ambience was different. read more

Very good! Was not expecting much based on so few reviews but was very pleasantly surprised. Poke was good and fresh, salad yummy, tacos were filling but I personally didnt care for the type of fish. Good selection of drinks and frozen drinks. Really cute vibe and open late!! read more

Should be called Fake Bar! I used to be a regular here years ago and decided to return because I have very fond memories here. When you walk up to the "Bar" there are no bar stools to sit down. So whatever, it was kinda slow so I grabbed a nearby by high top stool from a nearby table and dragged it over. The bartender immediately berated me and told me how no one is allowed to sit at the bar ever because sometimes they get busy and they need room for folks to walk up. After being shocked by this I was like whatever and moved my stool back to the table and ordered a burger and fries. After waiting too long for the food, I quickly realized that if I wanted to sit alone in a restaurant and eat a sub-par burger and fries, I could of just gone to any fast food restaurant. I mean the whole reason to go to a bar is to enjoy camaraderie with your fellow bar patrons, or at the very least chitchat with your bartender. You get none of that atmosphere here! it's almost like some manager implemented this policy during Covid, and they never returned to normal, all these years later. Maybe they should change the name to the Reel Snack Shack or something like that because they are definitely not a BAR! read more

Good virgin marg and good appetizers-- we really enjoyed the pretzel bites. I just wish they would use regular cups instead of plastic. You're a seaside establishment, come on. read more

Reel Bar - Appetizers, pretty good - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Very cool hotel\resort bar overlooking the water and right between the pool and the lawn activities. Staff was very friendly, prices are typical of any resort bar, the food wasn't bad (I wouldn't say it's great by any means) but again good for a resort bar right on property so you don't have to go anywhere. When we weren't many groups with kids, I can't see it changing too much until maybe later in the evening however we were there on Wednesday and they close at 9 PM. Keep that in mind if you're going outside of the weekend. read more

Cannot beat the view at this place. Gorgeous outdoor seating on the marina overlooking the water. Inside is small but also very cute. Taco pizza was amazing! I can't stop thinking about it. Bartender was very friendly & accommodating to my needs when my food took awhile to come out. Definitely worth the trip for even if just for drinks & appetizers! read more

The food was terrible. This was off the very limited menu during the day. The bathroom doors were filthy, you could see the buildup of dirt on the doors. The staff was excellent though. read more

Super friendly and great service. Wonderful atmosphere with an amazing view. The bartenders were great and were very helpful. We went back every night. read more

What a find! On the sand, on the water, at a resort, and on the Charleston Water Taxi route. We visited for the first time Memorial Day Weekend and had an excellent experience. The inside bar is cozy with a multiple seating areas - traditional bar, high tops, regular tables, and a couch or two and an oversized chair. The bar spills onto a patio with tables that then extends into a waterfront sandy area and a couple of piers that look directly into the Charleston Harbor, views of the USS Yorktown, and great sights of downtown Charleston. They offer frozen drinks, beer, cocktails, and wine + typical bar snacks and entrees. The bar was particularly busy during the holiday weekend we visited and the staff was super attentive and happy. We will visit again! read more

My most recent few experiences have been less than desirable. One of the bartenders (been here for a while) is particularly rude. They have done away with the sauce that comes on the burger. While I mentioned it to Scott at one point, he confirmed they just took that off their burger ( like, within the last few months), but I could ask for a side of the sauce. So the next time I was in, I asked for the side of sauce, and Scott said, "I have no idea what you are talking about". Listen, the fries suck, because they come out cold. The burger was decent, with the sauce. The salad subbed for fries is 90% lettuce, so we just go with the burger. Just a plain burger for $15?!? Then, the beer taps were down... at this point, I just had to leave because Scott was a jerk and I was not paying for a $15 plain burger again. This place is in a prime location. My feedback to management is to figure out your kitchen and to figure out your bartenders. Well, really, just one. read more

Never seen a place with so much potential run in such a mediocre fashion. Location is excellent. Overall aesthetics are very good. Stopped in for lunch and a drink. Bartenders were good. Error no1-No waitress for the tables outside. Food took way too long. Runners bring the food on open trays- so the food is cold when it make it to the table. This place should be overcrowded instead it was very lightly attended. read more

Best kept secret of Mt Pleasant. As a local, I love biking over to Patriots Point and coming here. Reel Bar is right on the harbor and serves extremely strong and good tiki drinks, along with an impressive menu. This is a traditional, nautical bar with fantastic cocktails, an amazing view of the water and a "resort like" atmosphere. Can't recommend this place enough: it's not just for tourists or folks staying at the resort! read more

Solid spot to grab a beer and burger. The bartenders are usually pretty friendly. Location is convenient to the marina, and it is never "packed". Busy? Yes. But not packed. We usually get the burger, which is excellent. However, the fries are always cold and limp. So we sub out the fries for a side salad, and all is well in the world again. Yes... the back patio is dog-friendly. (Hotel is NOT dog friendly, but Reel bar out back is :)! ). We'll be back for sure! read more

Honestly I'm just rating 5 star to counter Kate R's stupid, uncalled for 1 star review that makes no sense. We had a good experience and the service was great. You're eating at a gated in resort and getting a bacon cheese burger with fries for $15 so that is acceptable. The fries were actually top notch. Not sure again what she's complaining about. This place overall is a 3-4 star rating. If your girlfriend is sick and doesn't want to go out, this is the place to go. Don't listen to Kate R. read more

We stayed at this hotel last week for a long weekend getaway. We arrived late and in need of sustenance. We dragged ourselves to the Reel Bar and found JD. He suggested his own signature drink and the Lo-Fi local brew. I don't usually do mixed drinks, but believe the husband and I came back to JD for his signature drink non stop. This whole place is a real gem but these folks make it something special. Thanks JD!! read more

By far my favorite place in Charleston. Has the best view you could ever find anywhere where I have visited. Drinks are reasonably priced for the view. And the service is outstanding. Sitting next to the Ravenel bridge and the Yorktown you will be blown away by the views. Sitting outside you see the sea containers come by and the soft sand out on the beach is a must to walk around on. Located at a marina it's fun to go down the docks and see the yachts that are docked there. If you go there see a bartender named Scottie and he will take extra good care of you!! read more

Amazing Bartenders and fantastic drinks! The Bartenders are attentive and they make you feel very welcome. We enjoyed several days at the resort and made sure to visit The Reel Bar every day that we were there and we were never disappointed! Highly recommend! read more

This place has really good food and drinks. We liked it so much we try to take all our visiting company there to eat. Problem is the hours. Every time we go they are closed. Their posted times are not correct. Very frustrating! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! The view is to die for, the bartenders are friendly yet efficient, and the food is great! It isn't gourmet food but it certainly is delicious! Their Cole slaw, however, could win awards. Yes, it's that good. Try it and I'm sure you will agree. I will be back! read more

Forget everything I said. This place is back to its old glory! A must for anyone local or visiting.

Don't know what their new strategy is but the menu and service have been horrible this summer. Great view & vibe. Go to buy your beer from the bar with no expectations of service or food. Shem Creek will treat you much better. read more

10/12/18 Nice place for some drinks and conversation with friends and family. The staff is great and very friendly. The only drawback I found was a woman manager who seemed to be rather nasty to staff and some patrons, without having the respect or courage to approach said patrons herself, but rather to lay that responsibly on her subordinates. read more

Open at 12 and by 2 you only have one thing left on the menu? I've worked in the restaurant industry for over 15 years. If my manager was this slack he would be fired. read more

I'm a Mt. Pleasant local and this place is a hidden gem! Scott Casey is one of the best bartenders in MP!

Great bar with great atmosphere. Bartender, Scott Casey, couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Service outstanding!!! Love this place!!! read more

Had lunch today at this highly recommend restaurant and was very disappointed. The food might have been good if it had been served while it was hot. Every plate was cold and there's not much worse than cold limp fries. I could see no reason for such poor service because the restaurant wasn't busy. read more
