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.

That said, I remember having an absolute blast. The bartenders were super friendly, welcoming, and stayed on top of everything even though the place was busy. I just ordered vodka sodas, so I can't really comment on the cocktail menu, but my drinks were exactly what I expected every time. I didn't try any of the food, so I can't speak to that, but if you know me, you know I'm a sucker for a good photo booth. They had one, and I definitely used it more than once. It was such a fun addition to an already great night. Between the friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and the photo booth, this ended up being one of my favorite bars I visited in Charleston. I'd absolutely go back the next time I'm in town.

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.

Our bartender was very nice and provided fast and efficient service. We had beer on tap and it was served cold with just a tiny bit of a head. Country music was playing in the background. The price was reasonable and the experience was relaxed and comfortable. I would recommend if you are looking for that country bar vibe or some jamming country music on the weekends.

F*** THIS BAR! THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!…read more If you are a woman or care about women's safety DO NOT entertain this bar at all, our friend got shoved by the insanely aggressive bouncer who clearly abuses his position of power, when we weren't in his way at all, then we had to leave because none of the bouncers were listening to us and just acted like we were messy drunk girls. We couldn't be any more sober. This is a genuinely hellhole that attracts all the aggresive creepy men that at least have assaulted 6 girls in their life. This sorry place for a bar should've been shut down years ago and hasn't responded to one review ever because they know they can get away with calling girls B****'s and assaulting them as long as they keep their prices cheap for college students. This place is filled with innocent people just trying to enjoy the dive bar vibe but don't know how sick the management really is, or just toxic red-pill make abusers that get off on doing whatever they want on a night out. STAY AWAY or keep reporting this place please! This place can be used for something way more useful in Charleston and stop being the spawn of creepy charleston men that only ruin the city.

It's got 3-4 pool tables. It's got a bar. I'm pretty sure they serve food. They weren't playing any music when we walked in. That's because they have a juke box so people have to pay if they want to hear music. The perk is that if you do pay, you get to choose what music plays. Someone in my group played some music. After that, an older gentleman used the jukebox and my friends were not digging the music he picked. Anyway, it seemed like a pretty clean place. It seems like it's more a bar than anything. They do have those pool tables though! I would come back if my friends wanted me to.

After several searches we found us a good western bar that would complement the fits. If you've ever been to Cotton Eyed Joe's in Knoxville, Tn, then you can expect the same here. Very mixed crowd, great bar food, incredible wait staff, phenomenal Dj, exceptional libations, large dance floor, and plenty of fun to be had. Tip your Dj and servers. They did an amazing job here and made sure we had THE BEST time. They definitely knew we weren't local to the area, but ensured we achieved the mission for going. They stop serving food at 1am, I believe. This was amazing considering we didn't arrive until around 11pm and hadn't eaten since earlier. Thank you, Honky Toni we enjoyed you.
