Which Bars & Restaurants In Charleston Have The Best Happy Hour? Part 1
Happy Hour here in Charleston is a treasured tradition loved by everyone. It is near impossible to walk into a bar that isn’t buzzing with laughter, smiles, and a cold drink.
Welcome to part 1 of our top 5 Happy Hours! Today we're taking you through our top 5 picks in Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms, and Sullivan’s Island. For our first round-up, we only felt that it be fitting to have you follow along to our favorite bars that you could find us at any afternoon of the week.
Shelter Kitchen + Bar
Our first stop, Shelter Kitchen + Bar. We chose Shelter because of the true beach bar feel, staff, and happy hour prices. Bring your dog on over to Shelter for free treats while you enjoy a nice cold drink. Shelter offers Bud Light draft for $2.25, domestic bottles for $1.75, Woodbridge house wine (red or white) for $2.50, well drinks for $2.25, and buy one get one half off appetizers from 4-7pm Monday through Friday.
Red's Ice House
Next stop, Red's Ice House. You know we are suckers for Shem Creek and you can’t blame us! The views and the atmosphere are like no other place in the world. To get the absolute best view of the creek, head on up to the top of Red's and hang out in the Birds Nest. Catch an awesome happy hour here Monday through Friday from 4-7pm for $3.50 well drinks, $4.50 wines, and $2.75 domestic beers.

Cabana Bar
To top off our favorite happy hour spots on Shem Creek, we saved the best for last! Head over to the Cabana Bar at Water's Edge for happy hour specials you can’t resist. Enjoy the laid back vibe and mingle with locals on the deck while enjoying $1.75 domestic beers, $2.75 well liquor drinks, or a $4.00 glass of wine! These awesome happy hour deals are offered 4-7pm Monday through Friday!
Mex 1
Next is our favorite happy hour on Sullivan’s Island, Mex 1! After catching some rays on the beach, head on over to this coastal cantina and grab a $5 margarita, $3 Mexican drafts, or a $2 Mexican ashtray! Pair it with their amazing queso that is offered for just $4. You don’t want to miss out on these amazing happy hour specials!
The Dinghy
Last one list is the Dinghy on Isle of Palms. My favorite spot to have a nice game of corn hole. They are the only place in Charleston that you can find $2.50 Natty Light on draft. The Dinghy is the ultimate seaside dive bar loved by locals and tourists alike. They offer $3.75 domestic beers, $5.75 house liquors and $1 off most drafts, not including Natty. Oh, and the Philly cheesesteak is to die for!
