Review The Barrel - Charleston

A. W.

Great place for dogs but if your 1st time there it can be a bit much for you and your dog especially if there's alot of other dogs there. And be careful of the marsh because some dogs have a tendency of going for a swim in the marsh and not coming out as clean as they went in

Positive: Excellent outdoor space. Smart to leverage food trucks for food. Music and band were fun. Negative: Wish there were more seating options. Dog owners aren't really encouraged to maintain order or clean up after their pet. It'd be nice to see more non-alcoholic options.

This is a great place to kick back and relax! Very good selection of beer (local and beyond). The fenced in double-gated outdoor very large courtyard makes it fantastically dog-friendly. Many people bring their dogs and let them run around like at a dog park. The dogs can even go swimming in the adjacent creek. Typically has a food truck present for “pop-up” meal and snack options. There is a stage for live music entertainment. Lots of picnic tables.

This is a great place to go with your dog! The pizza food truck they had was awesome. The entire patio is available for the doggies and there is swimming available as well (for the doggies). Everyone was super friendly. The sunset was really pretty, too.

I loved this place! Super chill, great beer, friendly bar tenders and you can bring your dog. What's not to love?

Awesome place, genious idea. It's essentially a dog park, with a bar in the middle. They offer lots of craft beers to choose. We visited on a Friday night, had some live music to enjoy while sitting at a picnic table and playing pups for entertainment. There's a marsh/creek around the back of the property, so dogs were playing fetch and swimming. There's cornhole for the humans to play. All the dogs were having a great time, and we're all super friendly. The parking was a bit of a chore, mostly side roads, but a small inconvenience. If ever in the Charleston area, it's a must!

Hard to find good places to hang out while being socially responsible during these tough times but this place is great and has a lot of space. Dogs are everywhere and the beer and wine are great. Highly recommend

Loved this experience! We were waiting for a rental to open up on folly beach and had a couple of hours to kill. We found this dog park bar with plenty of seating and friendly customer service. Very cool space.

Cool bar with outdoor doggie park and outdoor seating. Plenty of room for dogs to run around. There is a fence that encloses the the entire area. There’s also a tidal creek that dogs will often jump in. Vast draft selection. Cool building and interior. Nice fold out bar that opens to outside.

Leslie Vanderheyden

It's a dog park and a bar. What more could you want??? Bartenders are efficient and tap list is long. Beautiful setting in the Marsh as well. Just remember to bring towels if your dogs like to swim!

Joyce Choi

Great atmosphere, great beer selection. My dog had just as much fun!

Amazing spot. Pups had such a good time making friends while my sister and I drank some delicious beer. How can it get better? It’s a perfect hybrid of dog park and bar. Lots of room for the pups to run, play, and swim, and plenty of human companions to hang out with too. Perfect!

Emily Crabb

Really fun environment and good beer! Our dog had an absolute blast! Only complaint is it smells so strongly of dog pee, but I guess that’s part of going to a dog friendly place like this one. 😂have been here a few times and had a great experience every time. Would recommend!

Nathan Sairam

Great beer selection. The staff members make great recommendations and let you sample beers for free. Prices are reasonable. The outside area is awesome and is perfect for dogs. They have outdoor games like shuffle board and corn hole. They also have many large fire pits for colder nights.

This is such a cool place to bring your dog to get some energy out. It’s surrounded by marsh and fences so dogs are always playing in the water and running around. They just have beer and wine but they have a really selection of beer. On the weekend they often have live music and a different food truck. It’s an awesome view to go hang out with a ton of dogs.

Jenna Leggio

Really cool place for both you and your dog to enjoy. Good beer selection and there is always a delicious food truck. When the water is high enough your dog can even go for a swim.

Arianna Matysiak

Very rustic, casual feel! Great spot to hang out with your dog, huge backyard for dogs to play. Had a wide variety of beer & bartenders were friendly!
