Word on the street
What locals are saying
Bar167, the 167 Hospitality group's Mediterranean bistro and cocktail lounge at 5 Fulton St, earns its strongest marks for inventive, carefully crafted cocktails and a fresh raw bar, with locals describing a stylish, lively vibe that balances 'NYC cool and Charleston ease.' Food quality draws more divided opinions — Charleston regulars who remember the space as Fulton 5 tend to find the rebrand underwhelming and the decor generic, while newer visitors and some locals praise standout dishes like the Arroz Con Negro and the shared-plates format. The price point is firmly upscale, and a handful of recent reviews (notably late 2024) call the overall experience 'lacking,' suggesting some inconsistency.
