Upper Deck Tavern

Charleston
$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Upper Deck Tavern in Downtown Chucktown is the kind of not-so-secret secret dive bar (you have to access it from an unmarked alley on King Street) that’s attracted something of a cult following among hipsters, college students, and young professionals alike. Menu items include all your favorite bar staples— juicy burgers, hearty salads and heaping sides of fries or mac and cheese. Despite the semi-speakeasy entrance, UDT completely lacks pretension: show up in a tuxedo or gym shorts and you’ll still feel right at home.
