Alexandra H.June 30, 2013Amazing oysters. Go with friends. Get an oyster shooter. Crab & Avocado Salad is amazing - mainly bc of the shrimp in it. Huge market/local oyster selection. Wait staff is amazing. Highly recommend :)
LilyJanuary 19, 2015Sidle up to the bar to watch some master shucking. If you're looking for good seafood, skip the pricier spots and come here.
Charleston Area CVBMay 1, 2015Pearlz is a member of the Sustainable Seafood Initiative, so the oysters are fresh and environmentally friendly. Order the Oyster Shooter, with pepper vodka and spicy cocktail sauce.
Sara NicolesDecember 8, 2014Plan to go to during happy hour 4-7, Monday through Friday. Dozen raw oysters $10. $2.50 home draft. Expect a wait on Friday night but food and service were great and fast.
Amanda MaukDecember 19, 2015We had the mixed seafood grill and the paella. Appetizer of a dozen oysters and a few drinks!! 100% will come back!!
Mendi ScandlynMarch 8, 2013Community tables are the best way to meet new people. Seats at the bar are first come first serve. The food is always GREAT and I recommend the crab & avocado tower - DELICIOUS!!!
Amol UtrankarFebruary 9, 2017Such a good happy hour! Careful, though: the wait-staff will get annoyed if you're not interested in ordering entrees (ugh)
Bruce TyndallJuly 12, 2015Crowded and expensive, but worth it. The staff and management are some of the best in town. Cocktails and raw oysters are the way to go here.
NealFebruary 27, 2015Everyone was right. The happy hour is awesome. Delicious oysters and cheap beer. I wouldn't miss this place if you're in the area.- Tiffany LamNovember 24, 2012Oysters are a must here. I got the little clams appetizer but they were not very clean. Also, the mixed seafood grill platter is delicious. My corn fritters were over fried (almost fried).
Alex HodgsonDecember 13, 2014Great daily specials! I had a lambs eye and succotash dish that was awesome. House cocktails sounded really good but weren't in my budget
Robert BuiAugust 7, 2013HAPPY HOUR OYSTERS. Went in July and they had a dozen James River, VA for $9 - unbeatable. Try an oyster shooter, you'll either hate it or love it- The Tastes that Make the CityJune 2, 2015The oyster shooters are the best oyster shooters in Charleston, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Charleston.

Eleanor BensonJuly 5, 2013Loved this place - but, definitely want to get there EARLY if you want to have a spot for happy hour. Would definitely go again!
Daria IvanovaMarch 15, 2018We have tried their pasta, calamari, and oyster and tuna tacos. Meh. The only thing which was actually good was oyster tacos. That said, the menu has a lot of variety and other items may be better.
Brandon KeeneMarch 22, 2014Friendly staff. Order a negroni. They had no idea how to make one but when they figured it out I got two since the first try mixed up ingredients

HDcustom1January 19, 2015A scant ten bucks for a dozen oysters during Happy Hour, yeah babee!! Just keep "em coming!
Miha CApril 9, 2011Try the clam chowder and oysters;pair the oysters with a glass of champagne; great happy hour prices!
Try any of the Fresh Catch Fish - delicious! Red Snapper or Scallops are my favorite!
Mary Catherine JamesSeptember 11, 2012You can't best $3 champagne specials during happy hour. Yeah for the bubbly!
Chad DavisJune 27, 2013Don't end your night of heavy drinking with an oyster shot.. Start your night with it.
Halley JPAugust 11, 2016During our 3-day stay in Charleston, I think We went here 7 times. Enough said.
If you want to take it up a notch, get the "Heat Seeker" oyster shooter!
Perri SilverMarch 4, 2017For a place with oyster in its name, the oysters were shucked pretty poorly. Membrane was still attached and tons of shell pieces.
Clay ChastainJanuary 16, 2012Oysters on the half shell are a good deal, especially during the happy hour.

"Excellent hush puppies! Try the vegetable plate and pick four tasty sides - it's a good (but one of the few) option for vegetarians."

"Excellent dinner choice! Delicious food. Key lime pie for dessert a must! But the worst sangria I have ever had...tasted like white wine and ginger ale with an orange slice thrown in for color"

"Lovely place to watch boats with a crisp glass of wine on a sunny day. If you wait a bit and are strategic, you can snag a table within 10-15 minutes. Crab artichoke dip was a tasty pre-dinner snack!"

"Dive bar with a great local craft beer draft list. Fish and chips are great too."
