"King Street Historic District A tiki-themed karaoke bar in the heart of King StreetWhen The Upper Deck Tavern announced it was closing, many Charlestonians wept. Luckily, Recovery Room owner Chris "Boston" DiMattia saved the space and transformed it into a seven-day-a-week karaoke bar. Although the new owners gave the interior a bit of love, all the charm of UDT (and at least one of its bartenders) stuck around for the transition, infusing a great mix of nostalgia and newness."

On the weekends, there can be quite a line so be prepared to get there early if you want to get in and sing."
