Word on the street
What locals are saying
Locals largely welcome Firefly's move from the remote Wadmalaw Island original to the far more accessible 25,000 sq ft North Charleston facility, with one longtime local on TripAdvisor noting the old location 'made it impractical' to visit regularly. The venue is praised less as a bar and more as a community event destination — food trucks, live music, lawn games, and Saturday yoga draw families, pets, and regulars alike, earning a 4.7/5 on Google (nearly 500 reviews) and 4.5 on both Yelp and TripAdvisor. The expanded, more commercial-event feel is a departure from the intimate Wadmalaw roots, but the sweet tea vodka legacy and broad spirit lineup (rum, moonshine, whiskey, gin) keep the brand identity intact.
