4875 Tanger Outlet Blvd., North Charleston 566-730
If you are near the airport, or the Convention Center, you should swing by this hotel bar with a vibe. Everything from pints to Pinot Noirs including a list of quite tasty, not overly sweet drinks. Twilight everynight, and lots of special events. There is a pool table and lots of other loungy games to enjoy while listening to mood music. website

Daring to wax South Beach while positioned on rumpled Upper King Street, this full-blown nightclub attracts beautiful locals who dig, or at least tolerate, the thump-thump music and the wrap-around bed in the dreamlike back room. The bar becomes particularly festive after 11.

This staid cigar bar serves great martinis and other libations in a refreshingly unpretentious manner and is a great spot for a drink before or after dinner. The thoughtful owners have taken care of everything, including the air—a state-of-the-art cleaning system removes any annoying smoke effluvia. Altogether, the good feeling is contagious.

Charleston Place Hotel. The two hotel bars of Charleston Place both offer live music nightly in an elegant, quiet setting. Food is served until 11 in each, and the desserts and after-dinner drinks are also a draw. The Thoroughbred Club offers tea from 2 to 4.

Chai’s Lounge & Tapas

Serving up tapas, wine and jazz, this scene-thick/scenester-rich bar draws a 30-something crowd who come for the vibrant refreshment and refreshing vibes reverberating from the lovingly lit room. The live music on Sunday is highly recommended and the newly opened outdoor patio has been quite the rage.
