Visited on a Thursday evening. To call this place a beer bar is an absolute misnomer. It is a bar, and does serve beer, but certainly not a wide or varied selection of craft beer. The one on tap, Rogue Dead Guy, was overpriced at $6 for a pint, and was severely affected by beer lines that gave the drinker a sense that they’d never been cleaned. Bartenders lack even basic beer knowledge, have little patience for questions, and seem abrasive in general. The crowd is the general frat boy/young professional mix that one would expect from a faux-trendy bar. Overall, laughable.

In general this place is a joke. Who sells pints of Yuengling lager for $6 plus tip. Not much selection on draft or in bottle. Many of the staff are snobby, place is dark, and most of the tvs are old and small. Amazingly this place is usually fairly busy.

Crowded most of the time, especially weekend evenings. Tries to appeal to the business/semi-upscale bar crowd, but kind of fails. Selection is mostly macros. Has a few imports, but basically the stuff you’d expect. Has the West Virginia Appalachian Pale Ale on tap, which is a pretty solid brew. Overall, too dark, too crowded. No live music. Too snobby. Not nearly a good selection. I wouldn’t go back unless I was forced. On a side note, however, is an attached Japanese restaurant, Ichiban. Best sushi in Charleston.
