Charleston gay club

While our community may be under attack, we can gather as our authentic selves to share our dreams, fears, and plans over our favorite libations. Weekends draw lively mixed crowds into Charleston gay bars, so join in!

Charleston's historic downtown begs to be explored and photographed (or Instagrammed)! Since it's the only option in the city, Dudley's proclaims itself to be "everybody's bar" and aims to serve the whole community.

It's a great place to meet locals and visitors alike. Here, the air is thick with the aroma of Southern spices, the chatter of artisans, and the flutter of sweetgrass baskets in the making—a centuries-old craft passed down through generations. The bar and kitchen are both open until 2 a.m., so you can continue drinking without going hungry.
