Re: “The Craftsmen was well worth the wait

"Too many times I've been served beers in a glass caked with residual soaps or lipstick stains"

I know, right? Whenever I consume toxins that kill cells in my body, I always make sure it is out of a sterile container.

Re: “Hey Bartender posting up at the Terrace for weeklong run

Well, seeing as the Terrace doesn't have a full liquor license, the only "drink" we'll be able to have with them during the Q&A is beer or wine.

Re: “The beach dining scene gets an update at Station 22 on Sullivan's

I am local and brought a bunch of friends from Asheville. And yes, the Dorado app was to die for. And I thought the McClellenville Little neck clams Linguini was pretty darn good although a bit salty. 3 of the guests got the fish and chips and were in heaven! Could not have been much happier with the food but the server was my guess a regular there for years and she was just not very customer service oriented. Most of us won't go back due to how she really almost worked hard to not help us out on anything. No bread to dip in the linguini, no toast points, or anything. Not much in the way of vegetarian(not that I cared, but one of my guests...). And it finally got just downright funny how she would deny us simple requests. She got the wine deal wrong and disappointed several at the table and would not make it right. I will go to the bar to eat when I go next time but doubt my out of towners will ask to go back and doubt I will bring a large group again.

The freshly baked pretzel bread sounds nice to me.

Re: “Anticipation is building for Warehouse

Funny. When these guy's presented this project to the neighborhood association they claimed to want to be a 'neighborhood restaurant' with a 'small bar' and not go after the 'college drinking crowd'. It was also agreed that the St. Philip St. entrance would be an emergency exit and not be used as an entrance to keep noise down out of respect for the nearby homes. A bar adjacent to & surrounded by residences, no off-street parking, and open 'til 2 am...Bad precedent for any neighborhood. If one used the same arguments neighbors recently expressed about Burbage's which killed that deal, the double standard in Charleston is glaring. Beer & sandwiches 'til 7 pm 6 days a week is bad(South of Broad) but drinking 7 days a week til 2 am is OK(Elliotborough). The City made an effort to keep establishments(including this one) from staying open past 11 by changing the Zoning at the request of residents but it was killed by City Council fearing litigation.

Re: “Drinking Pappy under the live oaks

If your budget includes taking straight pulls off of a $90 (and hard to find) bottle of 107-proof whiskey, you're a far wealthier man that I am, Mr. Moss.

Me? I'd savor it, probably over an ice cube... if someone else was buying!

Re: “Drinking Pappy under the live oaks

In my experience there is no "standard" way to "how it is done down here." Undiluted hard liquor in this heat is a jam good time for some, hot death for others. Besides, at the insane prices Pappy has reached recently the best way to drink it is on someone else's dime

Re: “Drinking Pappy under the live oaks

Oddly, I don't think that is how it is done down here. In my experience in the heat, people mostly drink their alcohol mixed with water or something else. Undiluted Hard liquor in this heat, even with food runs people down pretty fast. Different in the winter.

In addition to the aforementioned salmon colored shorts and ubiquitous boat shoes, may I also visualize the multiplicity of sunglasses-not-worn-at-night display methods?

It'll be a great place to escape the crowd, along with the crowd of other people escaping the crowd.

Re: “Rita's may well define the new Folly Beach

Visited last Sunday after a much too long sabbatical from the Beach. We ordered the Pork Belly BLT. WOW! All the flavors mingled together to form a wonderful tasting delight. Domestic draft was cold and welcomed in just a few minutes. Dogs are allowed on the patio, and the restaurant has dog bowls with ice for your canine friend. I kinda liked the fries, which I usually skip due to my overweighted frame. The experience was wonderful, and I'll go back soon. Walking down the beach is quite calming, and having a nice meal afterwards is a nice reward.

Re: “Anticipation is building for Warehouse

What a great idea. I hope the prices are not prohibitive, however. And, are there any provisions for parking, or will it be just curbside in the neighborhood? I don't think they have those stupid residential parking restrictions, but I bet it is coming. Great idea to have Charleston expanding in that direction. Gentrification is gonna happen, folks, and I hope the city fathers keep it from exploding. Still a bit dodgy when you get only a block or two away from there, so be careful at night when going to and from. And don't irritate the locals by pissing in their yards and trashing up the streets.

Re: “The Craftsmen was well worth the wait

Interesting...asking about the size & the number of fries in an order? Sounds like you need to stick to the places that will "biggie" size it for you.

Re: “Rutledge Cab Co. pulls into Wagener Terrace

The burger is AMAZING here. Top notch. Loved the picked veggies too. Could eat a whole plate of those.

Re: “S.C. beer geeks rejoice at new tasting law

I'm so happy that this finally got passed. I like hanging out at the breweries much more than going to bars, as the atmosphere is cooler, and I know that my money is going directly to support the local beer scene. Cheers!

Re: “The Craftsmen was well worth the wait

Approximately how big are the discs, brewengineer?

How many discs does one get per order?

Re: “The Craftsmen was well worth the wait

So the fantastic, visionary architect saved the "glamorous copper" from the "grimy old bar" ? Eric, were you still too young to go to the old Johnson's, too hip, or are you just shilling BS for a new bar?
