Best & Cool Bars in Folly Beach

"Located in a historic building on Queen Street in downtown Charleston, Husk was conceived by James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock, who opened the restaurant to showcase Southern food created with locally sourced ingredients. The menu is updated twice daily and showcases creative dishes such as Cornmeal Dusted Catfish with sweet corn, peas, smoked tomato and charred squash. While the food is modern in style and innovation, the décor echoes the historic building’s heritage, with rustic walls and a large chalkboard listing the delectable daily specials."

"Husk is the latest establishment from James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock, and it’s certainly no secret – the place is packed and everyone recommends you go there. And you should – the cal their dishes “new lowcountry” and really push tastes to a new level."

"Pastry chef Katy Keefe keeps it classic at McCrady's Tavern. Now that the weather is crisp, it's time to cozy up in a booth with a slice of Lady Baltimore cake or a rum caramel chocolate soufflé."

"Hall’s Chophouse is where you go for a big steak and a few stiff drinks. While this Mazyck-Wraggborough restaurant is definitely a little fancy, it also has nightly live music and a very popular bar, where you can order ribs, nachos, and a really good burger if you aren’t after the full steakhouse experience . If you can’t make it for dinner, make a reservation for their Gospel Brunch instead and enjoy a choir performance over a Chophouse Omelet with mushrooms and creamed spinach."

"Halls Chophouse is the go-to date spot for couples looking to add a little ritz to their night out on the town. Located on buzzing Upper King Street downtown, Halls is ideal for those couples who love a good steak almost as much as their significant other (we all know 'em). Here at Halls, expect the fines steaks in Charleston (maybe the state), along with excellent chicken, pasta, and seafood dishes, and live piano in the background."

"Halls Chophouse presents delicious cuisine in an energetic, visually striking environment. The restaurant features exposed brick walls, leather banquettes and warm lighting true to old-world traditional steakhouses. The 160-seat chophouse is situated on two rustic floors with tables and banquettes available for general dining."

"2011 | King Street Historic DistrictJazzy speakeasy with craft cocktails and a rooftop patio Sometimes there’s nothing better than a classic Old Fashioned to warm you up from your belly to your toes. -- and it’s hard to beat the one found at upscale lounge the Cocktail Club. If brown liquor isn't your thing, the Macho Man Dandy Savage (made with dandelion-infused gin, yellow chartreuse, wildflower honey, fresh lemon, orange bitters 13) is also a great choice."

"The Cocktail Club is a choice spot for Sunday evenings, with live music and well-educated bartenders. Speakeasy style and a rooftop terrace also help make the Cocktail Club of Charleston a truly upscale lounge and bar. Open from 5 pm to 2 am seven days a week, the Cocktail Club has a three hour long happy hour and conventional pub fare perfect for a pre or post dinner accompaniment."

"The Cocktail Club is a wonderful little cocktail bar that is half indoors and half outdoors (it’s a roof!). Go on Sunday nights for half priced bottles of wine and live music. This is one of our most frequented spots for cocktails or wine as it’s great before dinner and then really fun later at night during the after dinner hours."

"Located on the corner of President and Congress Streets (where nothing ever happens), Harold’s Cabin is one of the newest restaurants in the Westside neighborhood. It’s only a few blocks away from Hampton Park. This is a hipster restaurant par excellence: Mason jar water glasses, eclectic furniture, and locally-sourced ingredients including from the rooftop garden."

"Harold’s Cabin is a very casual mercantile and hipster restaurant co-owned by comedy icon Bill Murray– literally!. It’s a rustic-chic neighborhood joint that features a charming rooftop garden that supplies vegetables for the veggie-forward menu. The bar is hip and lively, with lots of students and young adult patrons."

"Neighborhood eatery Harold's Cabin doesn't keep any ho-hum desserts on their list — stop by this newcomer for interesting bites like a sous vide zucchini bread, grilled on order, and plated with parsnip cream, bourbon-soaked cherries, and pecans. And did we mention they have a pie of the day?"

"Liven things up a bit at Silver Dollar, one of Charleston’s most upbeat, energetic downtown bars. Its location is conducive to college students as it is near campus, and guests are likely to be putting a mere dollar down on the bar top come Mondays and Wednesdays. The college crowds are complemented by a dance-inspiring soundtrack and surging social vibes."

"The newest addition to Charleston’s line-up of waterfront dining is Pier 101. Featuring a super casual atmosphere with daily live music, frozen concoctions that are perfect for a hot, sunny beach day, and classic Southern-style fare, it’s a great spot to spend a summer afternoon. We recommend grabbing a table with friends and sharing a plate of fried deviled eggs or grouper bites while enjoying the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean along the Folly Beach Pier."

"A beach lovers ideal restaurant and bar, Pier 101 is located directly on Folly Beach Pier offering beautiful ocean side views. Folly Beach Pier has been hosting beach lovers since the 1930's and it is Pier 101s goal to bring back those carefree beach vibes. The menu and decor is intended to reflect the decades past and allow visitors and locals to enjoy wonderful food and the beach side view."

"Neon Tiger (654 King St.) is a vegan pizzeria that doubles as a cocktail lounge. It’s new on the foodie scene but knowingly embraces key tenets of old-working cooking (raise hands high for their use of zero flour in their pizza crust!). The menu includes specialty and classic pizzas as well as salads, sides, spirits, and sodas."

"The West Ashley Shopping Centre is a gated mall with a great variety of shops, restaurants and cinema halls all in one place. It is situated right alongside the highway and therefore easily accessible by car. Do not worry about parking because there is ample parking space."
