Backstreet Pub

No food, no credit cards so the bartender can keep throwing those IPAs right at ya. Right in the middle of the historic district, this converted bakery is a gem. The fireplace is stoking and there is an outside courtyard.  Locals flock here, so a little crowded on Friday nights.

I have to say that the 5 stars are given totally because they let dogs in this bar. Coolest place in Beaufort, hands down!

Hubs and I ventured in after the Vin de Mer Saturday during the Wine and Food weekend. This little place is such a cool pub! The bartender seemed like she had probably worked there forever and greeted us like we were a couple of locals. We snagged some IPAs and took in the atmosphere. It is dark, small, old looking, very Irish Pub-like, duh. Out back is a little tiny courtyard with stairs that go to a top area where a live band is usually playing in the evenings.

Backstreet shares the building behind Clawson's and is a historic building and clearly looks that way. It's old, somewhat dingy but oh so very cool!

I lived for a year in Beaufort and this was my friends local hangout. The crowd is always really diverse and really friendly. You'll see yachters having drinks next to locals next to students. The bartenders are all super friendly, and you'll often see them hanging out here when they're not working. There's different specials each day of the week and frequent parties, special events, karaoke, and live music. Super laid back. Come as you are!
