Come here because it's dark, it's cold, the staff is great, and nobody's judging anybody. Charleston has plenty of pretty bars -- this one has character.

First off I want to start by saying this is a good ole "down home" kind of bar / restaurant. That…read morebeing said if you know, you know. I stay next door pretty often, and I've never came in. Although I have been to waffle House, which I'm sure I reviewed prior. I came in around supper time, 6:00 p.m. or so, and it was probably at 75% capacity. I sat at the bar, after being welcomed by a local fully equipped with his own Skynyrd beer koozie!! Hahaha! They have karaoke, and they karaoke DJ spinning all the good country hits, literally emulating exactly what I play at home. Anyhow, the local that pulled my chair out essentially, told me that the "bartender sucked" But in good ole down home local fashion, she clapped right back, and obviously he was joking cuz she is phenomenal. Despite having a completely full bar, and waiting tables, she acknowledged me almost immediately. Even sat down in the bar stool next to me to take my order and chit chat and go over the menu with me. I think her name was Alicia, but regardless she was outstanding! I ordered hot wings and lemon pepper wings. They came out really fast, really hot, and really good. I kind of wish I had room to order another entree, but it filled me up. As I waited for my food, I was suddenly engulfed by an entire group of locals. Now this place, is the mature crowd, and they were so nice they sort of took me under their wing! This is the epitome of down south hospitality. I've been holding out on coming to this place for a few years now, and looking back, I wish I would have came a lot sooner. I hate using the term "vibe", But this is totally my vibe. Great food, great service, great locals, laid back atmosphere with music playing and karaoke? You just can't beat it. I have responsibilities, so I had to leave really early, but rest assured, I will definitely be back. I mean who else is going to sing Jason Aldean on the karaoke machine? Thank you skynyrd's, thank you Alicia (I hope I remembered your name right), such a great experience and I'm sorry I had to cut it short!

My husband and I sat at the outdoor bar on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone was so friendly; the bartenders, the couple sitting next to us, the dog on the other side of us, the people sitting across the bar, etc. It was a great time! And it was my first time having country fried steak (I am a recent transplant from the North) and I loved it! I picked mashed potatoes & vegetables for my sides and it was the ultimate comfort food meal. Needless to say, we will definitely be back again :)

FYI: It is a private club, with membership at a $1 a year. As my wife and I drank a cold beer (this place is still cash only), an elderly gentleman politely walked up and asked if we were waiting on the band. As it was later in the afternoon and the band would not be starting for a number of hours, we explained that we were just coming back in for some nostalgia. Talk about nostalgia, we found out that the gentleman was Richard who was and is the owner of the place for many, many years. The number of times he said I do like to dance and would start moving quite well to the soul/ Hip Hop mix (which is unusual to be heard in the Sand Dollar). When I polightly asked his age, Richard said that he was 81. He stated that he had kept in shape over the years including by Iron Man triathlons. To see his thin body it was difficult to think of him as a triathlete but I did not ask him how long ago he had done a triathlon. Meeting Richard and buying a $15 t-shirt was quite a great experience. I always will return here. Trust me on that.

From the staff to the crowd on any evening, the atmosphere is friendly, warm and welcoming. This applies to Everyone who walks through the door. Make sure this is at the top of your list when you get to Hilton Head. It may be the your place to go every evening. It is for me. When you get there, ask if "the Captain" is there so I'll get to meet you.
