Word on the street
What locals are saying
The Southern Bar & Grill is the Coleman Blvd neighborhood anchor that Mt. Pleasant locals reach for when they don't feel like fighting downtown — a genuine dive-bar atmosphere with live bluegrass, country, and jazz most nights and a staff (Hank and Angela get name-dropped with affection) that makes regulars feel it. The Philly cheesesteak with extra cheese and hand-battered onion rings are the food signatures worth the trip; the apple pie shots have quietly become a ritual for anyone who visits more than twice. Occasional gripes about over-seasoning and slow service during peak hours are the only real friction in an otherwise well-loved room.
