Closed For Business

Copy Link
With 42 taps and a location that's smack-dab in the middle of the King Street action, many readers dubbed Closed For Business an "easy choice." They're also known for their pork slap sandwich, and having a calendar loaded with beer-filled events.

Liberty Tap Room & Grill

Copy Link
Liberty has their own label made by New South Brewery in Myrtle Beach, and a focus on American microbreweries.

Craftsmen Kitchen & Tap House

Copy Link
The latest brew-centric spot to hit the scene is raking in the raves, for their 48 rotating taps. Not just a place to tipple, the early word on the food at Craftsmen has been positive, too.

Coleman Public House Resturant & Tap Room

Copy Link
With a focus on Belgian and American craft beers, their 16 ever-changing taps boast too many possibilities to count.

House of Brews

Copy Link
Let the geekery begin: this Mount Pleasant bar has 700 on offer, and their website has a list of what's on hang at any given time. In-house, there's a white board displaying the (sometimes rare) beers on tap.

The Griffon Pub

Copy Link
It's all about the bills and no-frills beer here. A favorite of the F&B crowd in town (including Sean Brock), even The Griffon calls themselves "unapologetically awesome." No one disagrees.
