Charleston Restaurant News

The Alley is one of my favorite bars for many reasons:

1. Loaded Tater Tots
2. It’s a bowling alley
3. So many arcade games
4. I’m so good at Skee Ball
5. The music is pretty great
6. $4 burgers

Now I can add a 7th reason to that list: $3 happy hour menu (which features the loaded tots). Can it get any better than that??

No. No, it cannot.

Here’s what’s included on the $3 Happy Hour Menu:

• House Liquors
• Domestic Bottles
• Select Drafts (PBR, Yuengling, and Bud Light)
• Boiled Peanuts
• Loaded Tater Tots
• Sliders

Well, looks like y’all know where to find me between 4 and 7 Monday – Friday from now on.

Ok everyone. If you’re a meat lover and you live in or around Charleston, it’s time to mark your calendars for May 27. This is my favorite BBQ joint, Swig & Swine‘s 1-year anniversary. To celebrate, they’re inviting all “swiners” to their anniversary party next Wednesday, starting at 11 am. The first 100 guests through the doors will receive a free rack of their famous, lip-lickin’ ribs.

I’m actually a little embarrassed about the number of times I’ve eaten at Swig & Swine in just 1 year.

You’ll also enjoy $1 Palmetto Amber Ales all day and the first 100 people to order one will also get to keep the pint glass.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! They’re keeping the celebration going on Sunday 5/31 with a “Pig Pickin’ Picnic” in the Swig & Swine parking lot, with a whole hog roast, beer truck, music, food specials, and more!
