Blind Tiger
36 Broad St, Charleston, SC 29401, USAThe term “Blind Tiger” was coined in the late 1800s to describe the illicit drinking and gambling establishments opening their doors as temperance legislation swept across the country. The first “Blind Tiger” in South Carolina sprung up in the Holy City in 1893 as a defiant rebuttal to the dispensary laws. Local lore suggests Broad Street was home to many houses of “ill repute” throughout the years. In 1992, ninety-nine years after the first “Blind Tigers” appeared, the Blind Tiger Pub opened in its current location, paying homage to a historic tradition. Despite changing hands several times throughout the years, the Blind Tiger Pub has always remained a fixture of Charleston society. In 2016, after painstaking restoration, the Blind Tiger Pub was reborn. Striving to continue to honor the legacy of its previous caretakers, we invite you to join us in celebrating this Charleston institution. Hand-crafted cocktails, chef-inspired menus and historic Southern charm will create an event experience unlike any other.
