Dudley's - Charleston

Only to answer the question, yes, it is open. I'm just drinking a vodka soda from the inside of this facility!

There is a quieter back room, but it can get monotonous quickly, especially with a random pool table that attracts players from time to time. Navigating the space in a wheelchair would likely be pretty uncomfortable. This isn’t the ideal spot for a simple after-work hangout to relax or socialize; the atmosphere feels off, though the patrons seem eager for a good time. Over time, it becomes apparent that some bartenders are more focused on socializing with their friends than providing service (prepare for a somewhat cliquish vibe). The crowd tends to stick around, worried about losing their spot after paying to get in, so make sure to grab your card from the bar before leaving! Additionally, the mirrors on the walls can be a safety hazard; I’ve noticed a few people accidentally bump their heads against them while watching the performances, as they protrude a bit from the wall. So, watch your head—especially if you’ve been drinking!

What a lovely spot to enjoy a drink and catch a show! The atmosphere is welcoming, the crowd is fantastic, and the bartender is excellent. What more could you ask for?

Currently, I find this restaurant to be a great spot for meeting up. The venue is clean, and the staff is generally friendly. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but the location is convenient.

We were in Charleston over Christmas and wanted to stop in a gay bar to take break. Had a ok time there BUT when we were ready to leave and cash out, their credit card service wouldn’t take any of our Card(s)! We had enough cash to cover our bill. We didn’t have any more troubles at any other restaurants or bars for the rest of our 5 days in Charleston. Guys be careful and carry enough cash there.
