Word on the street
What locals are saying
Pearlz on E. Bay St. is consistently called one of Charleston's best happy hour spots, with weeknight specials drawing locals for deeply discounted oysters, oyster shooters, and cold beers in a casual, no-dress-code setting. The oyster selection — spanning local SC, Virginia, and regional varieties — earns strong praise for freshness, and the fried oysters and shrimp are frequent standouts. The no-reservations policy and prime French Quarter location mean waits are common at peak times, and parking nearby is scarce.
