Republic Garden & Lounge 462 King Street, Charleston, SC 29403

"I came here to enjoy the atmosphere and drinks with my cousin, we were shocked at the prices, $16 for 1 specialty drink?? Crazy. We ordered 1 and figured hey let’s share one before we go to the next bar. When the $16 drink arrived……. I was shocked. So shocked i had to ask the bartender if anyone else has ever complained about how over priced and small the drinks were: no. Apparently not. Apparently people are okay with being robbed. We then walked over to Charleston beer works and were offered great service and amazing friendly staff with more than reasonable prices and (might I say attractive staff) to make up for waste of money and less than worthy experience. Do not waste your money here: seriously: they are scamming you."

"My wife and I frequent Charleston several times a year and we always try a few new places. We stopped by while walking down King St. and my wife saw Joe Bradley come out. She had to get a photo since she watches Southern Hospitality. We got drinks at the garden lounge and the bartender didn't know how to make an Old Fashioned. I get that this is frequented by a younger crowd but come on bro, you never heard of an Old Fashioned??? I wasn't that impressed honestly but the show is entertaining..."

"I visit Republic quite frequently and truly enjoy the experience- both before and after the night gets started. Seeing some of the reviews on here makes me question the integrity of some of the reviewers and leaves me wondering if they know the difference between true lack of service or individual error/mistreatment of staff. Every time I come in here I feel welcomed and appreciated no matter the time of day, especially by people like Shane and Robby— they’re the best! The staff here knows how to make people feel special and appreciated, so it is a shock to me to see others act so negatively as that has never been something I have experienced nor witnessed at this establishment. I always look forward to stopping in and will continue doing so. Keep up the great work y’all!"

"Dipped into this spot before it got busy and then came back once the night had started. We had a great visit. Drinks were decent but great music and the atmosphere was cool. Definitely a younger crowd, but if you like good music - go!"

"What a beautiful garden area. Stopped in for a couple of bevys and wow!! Definitely a great choice. The frozen vodka and lemonade were amazing. Great friendly service!!"
