Word on the street
What locals are saying
Uptown Social is a high-energy, tourist-leaning sports bar and entertainment venue on Upper King Street that draws mixed opinions from locals — praised for its lively rooftop, consistent live music/DJs, and standout bar bites like smash burgers, wings, and Anthony Falco's thin-crust pizza, but criticized for inconsistent food execution (burnt pizza noted more than once), occasionally weak or slow bar service, and a crowd that skews heavily toward visitors rather than Charleston regulars. It functions best as a group hangout or game-day destination, with the rooftop offering a slightly calmer escape from the intense main floor energy on busy nights.
