Re: “Wolf Track Inn”
Always liked the Wolf Track but since I quit smoking, can't do it anymore.
Re: “Wolf Track Inn”
Was a truly fun evening when the Wiggins Brothers played about a month ago maybe late June or early July 2012. I hope the 'Track' will have them back soon.

The Only Premier Jazz Bar in Town. This is a true experience!

Re: “Hippodrome”
I attended the Sara Jarosz show this past weekend. The music was great, but the venue logistics were amateurish at best. My tickets, purchased at the Hippodrome, actually had the seat number scribbled on with a pen. There was no seating chart published online and many people found their groups separated once inside.
Did I mention that they began letting patrons in prior to the show without taking tickets? Not a problem until they pushed everyone outdoors into the July heat only to re-admit an hour later. It was my impression that the Hippodrome managers had never actually managed a show before.
The caliber of the performers warranted a better showing from the venue. Personally, I won't be returning and hope the promoter finds an alternative before booking another talent such as this. Disappointing.
Re: “Hippodrome”
Sara Jaroz and her band were fantastic. The rest of the evening left much to be desired. 7pm was the starting time of the concert, with an opening band prior to Ms. Jaroz. We arrived at 7pm and waited almost one hour, standing up outside in the heat...why could we not be seated, cool and settled for the concert? Slow at the ticket counter (only one)...another wait inside.
After 8pm we were finally admitted only to discover it was dark in the auditorium....
NO HOUSE LIGHTS to help find your seat. One or two staff were available but none of them helped anyone to their seat.
HOUSE LIGHTS are used to help people get seated SAFELY and so they can scan to find personal items prior to leaving...what is so hard about flipping a switch?
And then there was the alcohol...selling before the performance, no problem. Selling DURING a performance is cheesey...increase your profits, did you? Throughout the entire evening people were walking to and from the bar/restroom....right in front of the performers (SO RUDE) and the rest of us...very distracting.
Other than the performances, it was a miserable evening.
Re: “Stono Breeze Waterfront Bar”
the view is amazing there and it can be such a nice place to grab drinks with friends. But unfortunately the service is terrible. I have never been so disapointed in an establishment before in my entire life. Unless you are friends with the staff, a slip owner, or even just an attractive guy with the boat. You are not going to get the treated properly.
Re: “Pearlz”
Pearlz is great for happy hour. The menu is very reasonably priced for the quality of food. They have a tuna tartar dish that is a stand out, and the shrimp are perfectly fried. The fish tacos are unremarkable. I'm not an oyster person, so I can't speak for those, but people seem to love them. In addition, the draft beer is always really cold, and the bar tenders and servers are friendly and efficient. I've never had a bad experience at this place.
Re: “J. Paul'z”
The bar at the new place in Mt Pleasant stinks. Disinterested and ignorant head bartender (Patrick), bimbo assistant bartender (Liz) ...... warm beer.
Stay away.
Re: “Laura Alberts Tasteful Options”
Close drive from airport. Friendly and outgoing staff knowledgeable on craft beer and wine. A quaint gourmet cracker-barrel (shop and eat: half wine/beer shop, half southern cafe)! Modest but stellar beer selection in back. Growler and bomber fills. I definitely will be back!
Re: “Pearlz”
I must admit that I have enjoyed Pearlz may times in the past. This trip was not the experience that I was hoping and have enjoyed iln the past. The waitress’ recommendation on oysters was totally off base, I don’t think she actually eats oysters. Secondly, grilled Mahi fish taco was mostly a cabbage taco with little chunks of fish on top. It’s not at all what I’ve come to enjoy on my previous trips. I think I’ll just stick to the gulf oysters and skip the rest of the menu.
Re: “Alluette's Jazz Cafe”
over priced, run down dump. poorly kept
Re: “Diamonds North”
Whatever!!im bitter...bout what?? Lol its the truth.but ok.im done.its bullshit anyways
Re: “Diamonds North”
There is nothing worse than a bitter fired employee. I work at a plant near there and go there after I get off. I have always been treated with courtesy and respect. The girls there are nice and nice to look at. They have a good variety and private dances are reasonable(they run a 2 for 1 every hour or so). There drink prices are competitive with ANY bar in Charleston (not just strip clubs).Before taking some bitter ex dancers word for it go check the place out yourself would be my suggestion.
Re: “Pearlz”
Fantastic service!
We visited on a busy Friday night and the restaurant was packed. Luckily for us there was space at the community table and we were seated right away. Seeing the crowd I figured service would be slow, but I was wrong.
Our server was very attentive and cocktails and waters were provided almost immediately. The food came out quickly as well.
The atmosphere was great, my only reason for removing a star is that I found the tuna and mahi tacos to be quite bland. Still the rest of the meal was pretty good and the service was outstanding.
We will be returning
Re: “Jaguars Gentlemens Club”
I always have a great time at this club, there is no other club in Charleston that can compete with it. The other ones have like 5 girls working but Jaguars always has 25-35 girls every time I come in, even for happy hour they have 10 girls which is 5 more then other clubs on Friday night!! Drinks are what you would expect your at a strip club so your gonna pay but they offer daily specials and if you stick with them your good.
Re: “Diamonds North”
i went to diamonds last week for the first time and saw two hott chicks on day shift and black girl named envy and a asian chick name lulu or whatever.really i only stayed for awhile to see the black chick cause she was very professional and talk with a good head on her shoulders. she was very sexy n knew how to get a man to come out his pocket..lol..but what i can say is that ..the only reason i came in the first place is cause i heard about her from some friends i work with and she is the only girl in there is worth coming to see on day shift now far as the asian chick cant dance but nice to talk to. but i think they can use more professional entertainers,instead of hiring any girl with a pretty face. i might go tonight if she is there.
Re: “Juanita Greenberg's Nacho Royale”
Juanita Greenbergs is a jewel on King St. Its got a sign out front that invites a dog friendly atmosphere. The staff enures that the restaurant is kept spotless and sanitary, and food is delivered promptly to your table in virtually no time. Its a place where you can let your kids run around out back and play hide and seek, while you enjoy your favorite margarita in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. The patio area smells of Carolina Jasmine, as it is growing on the walls around the outdoor seating. I would recommend that anyone and everyone come enjoy this place. Also every Wednesday night one of the best female vocalists in town performs free to anyone who will listen, So come out and see Jordan Igoe and Friends. It will change your life. If you dont like the atmosphere clearly stated on the chalkboard out front, then go to McDonald's...lookin at you, Beth.
Re: “Stono Breeze Waterfront Bar”
Great place to enjoy a burger and a beer or mixed drink and watch the Stono River boat traffic. Good live music and nice cool breeze. Very friendly folks!

Re: “Wolf Track Inn”
Wolf Track will be smoke free soon, thank you Charleston County. Question is, do they deserve our business since they didn't go smoke free voluntarily?
