Burns Alley

Burns Alley is a historic alley tucked away down Burns Lane between Meeting Street and King Street. Known for its atmosphere and local charm. At its heart sits Burns Alley Tavern, a neighborhood dive bar that opened in 2006 and has since become a staple for locals and visitors seeking an authentic Charleston experience. The bar is known for its eclectic decor, friendly staff, and welcoming vibe, making it a true microcosm of the city’s diverse community.​

Burns Alley Tavern is famous for its affordable drinks, live music on weekends, and a rotating selection of craft beers on tap. The bar’s unique location—accessible through a hidden entrance off King Street—adds to its speakeasy-like appeal. Whether it’s game day, a quiet weeknight, or a bustling Saturday, Burns Alley offers a place to relax, socialize, and enjoy the local scene.​

Historically, the alley itself has roots in Charleston’s working-class past, once serving as a commercial and industrial thoroughfare before evolving into a community-focused space. Today, Burns Alley is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Charleston’s hidden gems and lively nightlife. Located at 354B King Street 843.723.6735 https://burnsalley.com/
