"The Blind Tiger is nothing fancy, but has been a crown jewel of the French Quarter neighborhood since 1992. Maybe it’s the on-the-house oyster roasts and crawfish boils. Maybe it’s the secret latch-door to the once-buzzy Prohibition era underground tunnels. Maybe it’s the ghost stories, too. Either way, this iconic neighborhood watering hole hums with locals, who readily order pitchers and the El Tigre, an Astral tequila drink with a kick of jalapeno and dash of pineapple." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Lovers of speakeasy lore, this is the place to be. Some locals know Blind Tiger for its packed-to-the-max oyster roasts, some know it as an oasis from crowded King Street, and some know it for the legend of its back-door access to the Prohibition-era underground tunnels beneath Broad Street. The name itself, Blind Tiger, is a nod to early speakeasies hosting illicit drinking and gambling. Today, the merriment at Blind Tiger is very much legit, and very much a local’s go-to since 1992. Expect some surprisingly fancy fare for an old-school pub, like ricotta gnocchi or a truffle duck sandwich, and a Lowcountry crowd ready to roast and toast like no other. With a kick of jalapeño heat and a layer of sweet pineapple, the El Tigre Spicy margarita is fit for a post-beach mood or a game-watching kind of night. Blind Tiger accommodates both vibes, and lots in between." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Broad Street bar Blind Tiger has its decorations up and ready to welcome diners on Christmas Day for burgers, beer, and merriment." - Erin Perkins
"If you want to mingle with the locals from nearby offices and historic homes head to the Blind Tiger, a classic pub in a building dating from 1803. Located on Broad Street, you can catch a drink at the bar after doing a walking tour or have dinner in their incredible brick-walled garden. Get local beers to go along with your local dishes like chargrilled oysters or fried chicken. But if you want to order like a true Charleston patron, you’ll get their popular pub burger." - Vox Creative
"The Blind Tiger Pub came back to life in 2016 after significant renovations and has quickly regained its position as a standby local bar on Broad Street. The sunlit courtyard in the back almost feels endless, and portions of this space can be reserved for private events. Pub food reaches another level at Blind Tiger, with indulgent options like the truffle duck sandwich and smoked chicken wings among the offerings." - Parker Milner
