| Big John's Tavern, East Bay St., Charleston, SC |
Charleston’s oldest and best dive "Big John’s Tavern" has been the last shabang for many local's entertaining nights in Charleston, SC. Lingerie strategically hanging around, Pabst, live tunes, and scandalously dressed women dancing on the bar and letting it all hang out, wrap this joint up. F&B/locals/Citadel cadets dig “Johnny Biggs” and you can bet you will to. Bar food is available and ask about the many shots these talented bartenders and mixologists can concoct. Owner/bartender/father/grand Marnier lover Chris Condon is a hell of a nice guy and will be more than helpful, along with his friendly bar staff, in meeting all of your alcohol "needs". Originally opened in 1954 by “Big John” Canady, an ex-New York Giants Linebacker, Big John's Tavern on East Bay street in Charleston, SC had a popular slogan that stuck...Come as a stranger and leave as a friend. "Cheers"
It does look like the place is due for a paintjob.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is the lighter colors to the left of the door.
ReplyDeleteWell, if it was going to still be "Big John's" I would have to lobby to have it repainted in the original color. If it's going to be something else, however, I think the blue and white is really lovely - fresh and pretty. Looking forward to future updates on this building!
ReplyDeleteA rum bar - that is what it is going to be.
DeleteI hear it's going to be a Rum bar
