Word on the street

What locals are saying

Paddock & Whisky is a well-regarded James Island neighborhood bar with a loyal local following, celebrated for its 50+ rare bourbon selection, cozy speakeasy-dive-bar vibe, and the popular Sushi Ninja popup on weeknights. Most regulars love it as a pre/post-movie stop next to Terrace Theatre. The main recurring criticism is uneven service — specific complaints about a rude bartender and a manager behaving unprofessionally have drawn notice, with at least one long-time local souring on the spot over staff attitude.
