Word on the street
What locals are saying
Charleston's only country music venue of its kind, HonkyTonk fills a genuine niche in the Lowcountry — and locals know it. The Queology BBQ partnership anchors the food side with credible smoked-meat bona fides, though the kitchen plays second fiddle to the dance floor; the consensus is that the burgers hold up but the food isn't the main event. Free line dancing lessons Thursday through Saturday, a sprawling dance floor, pool tables on Tuesdays, and a rotating cast of beloved bartenders keep a fiercely loyal crowd coming back — even if the airflow situation (fans cutting out by 8 p.m. on a packed Saturday) can make the whole experience feel a little swampy.
