"Post-work crowds scurry over to King Street Dispensary come 5 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. on weekends. This Upper King classic has snug booths indoors and an airy terrace outdoors for the happy-hour mingling to transpire. Trivia nights here are a locals’ fav, as are the occasional, but can’t-miss, Lowcountry boils on the patio. With a menu of beer and beer cheese, the Lowcountry Margarita, an Astral margarita favoring some spice, is a refreshing option." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Got a desire for live music? An urge for trivia? A need to watch the game? Depending on the day of the week, King Street Dispensary is the likely solution: a come-one-come-all pub, energized by a social, post-work crowd. Named after pre-Prohibition liquor distribution centers, this upper King semi-sports bar serves up a swath of local spirits, craft beers, and a varied menu, from everything-but-the-bagel Brussels sprouts to birria tacos. The jumbo mozzarella sticks are especially delightful. With both an indoor and outdoor bar, guests can float between the booth-studded inside or the string-lit, standing room outside dining areas, both bubbling with conversation and a steady crowd. On that outdoor patio, the spring air is basically begging to be paired with Dispensary’s Apre Margarita, with a touch of apricot and a zing of lemon." - Kayleigh Ruller
