Bar Polari

This is the place Dudley’s should inspire to be. So welcoming for even non LGBTQ+ and their drinks are amazing. So is their service. I love it here and as a woman I feel safe as well. I’ve been here a few times and will keep coming back!

Ordered the Nanti last night and it was, hands down, the best take on a old fashion I've ever had. Superb job to the bartender. Will be back.

From out of town but come to Charleston regularly. Was excited to see another gay bar option in town so checked it out. Asked and found out it's only been open a year but it was obvious it's already become a neighborhood staple. Everyone seemed to know each other but we felt very welcomed. House cocktaila were great! Highly recommend as long as you are willing to travel a bit from downtown.

Oh my gosh, I can’t say enough good things! Bar Polari is a home and safe space for all! The staff and drag queens are so friendly and welcoming, they make you feel like you’re part of the community. They always greet you with a smile and a kind word, and the drinks are always strong and on point. And let me tell you about the Sunday brunch events - they’re to die for! If you’re looking for a place to feel at home, this is the spot for you!

Trying out gay life near Charleston, and I'm happy to see something new! The vibe is chill, the drinks are delicious, and Rachel, our bartender was phenomenal!

Great little neighborhood bar! A little dark but your eyes will adjust and the dim lighting will add some ambiance to your cocktail experience. The bartenders were good, especially the young woman behind the bar who was happy to chit chat while maintaining the long line of customers- very friendly- would recommend for a chill night or a Happy Hour around the bar with other locals!

It's a very relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor patio is a great, comfortable, and clean space.
