The Windjammer
Serving Isle of Palms since the 1970s in what can only be described as a beach club capacity, The Windjammer is a lively oceanfront beach bar known for also being a high-energy live music venue and hosting bikini contests, volleyball tournaments, and golf tournaments during the summer season. The crowd here is an eclectic mix of seasoned locals, young college-types, and visitors passing through.

Downtown Charleston
The Royal American
Located in nearby Charleston, The Royal American is a no-frills bar and live music venue with vintage charm, inexpensive beer prices, and a lovely outdoor deck.

The Rooftop
You’ll find the Rooftop on top of the Vendue hotel, boasting expansive and panoramic views of the Charleston Harbor.

A prohibition-style bar nestled above the Macintosh on King Street, the Cocktail Club has an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a speakeasy, with brick walls that give their rooftop deck and garden (where they grow their fresh cocktail garnishes) a private feel.
