The ridiculously eclectic and festive bar brings just the right vibe while you’re grabbing a drink or chowing down on some of the tasty grub – like their extensive hot dog menu – whipped up by lifelong local and kitchen manager Kathleen Gilbert. If you’re anything like me, you’ll go in for the booze but leave with a great experience and box full of food. Stag Erin Pub 1006 Folly Road Charleston Dive bar factor: Newbies welcome Denise: For a casual drink on the way to (or from) Folly Beach, you won’t go wrong with Stag Erin Pub on James Island. I gotta admit, I was shocked to see how cleaned up the place is nowadays. I hadn’t been there in years before Krysta and I stopped in, but it still offers a decently priced drink and attentive bartenders. There’s no smoking indoors anymore, and the crowd might be a little less, uh, rowdy ... but, overall, Stag Erin is still a James Island institution worth visiting. Krysta: Of all the stops we made, The Stag Erin in James Island seemed to be the spot trying the most to leave its description in the past. Outfitted with a brand new look, Stag Erin has traded in its dimly lit space for white-paneled ceilings straight from the design books of Joanna Gaines. While the updated direction may not be what established patrons love and expect, the new ownership team is clearly working hard to provide a fun spot for folks along the road to Folly. 2030 Wambaw Creek Rd. #101 Charleston, South Carolina 29492 843.936.3626 | hardscoop.com REALLY 16 PROOF!
