  Blind Tiger

  36 Broad St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA

  The 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.

Following the decline in theaters across the country, the American Theater eventually sat vacant for 20 years. But in 1997 when the vacant building had been all but forgotten, it was brought back to its former glory after being purchased and fully restored by the Patrick family. The restoration of the American Theater spearheaded the revitalization of Upper King Street, helping create what would become the bustling area of Downtown Charleston we all know today. Every September 19th, PPHG celebrates the birthday of a building that keeps on giving. Leaving a profound legacy of preservation and restoration, the Patrick family sits at the helm of an effort in resurgence and development on Upper King Street, continuing to believe in the promise of a once-forgotten neighborhood.
