"Lamar’s Sporting Club (570 King Street) now offers an over-the-top presentation of fancy street meats on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The wiener tower includes a 'PB Wiener Time' dog made with peanut butter, crushed pretzels, and bacon, as well as 'The Wurst Wiener' with bratwurst, caramelized onions, and yellow mustard. Lamar’s, part of the Republic Hospitality, is a super upscale sports bar on Upper King courting large parties, like the bachelorette and bachelor groups roaming the area, so this wiener tower might be the ticket to draw them in." - Erin Perkins

Lamar's has quickly become a go-to for me and my friends here in Charleston! Whether you want to host an event or pop in for cocktails and a quick bite, you can't really go wrong. Aside from the incredible cocktails, bites, and service, the atmosphere at Lamar's is what really shines — the space feels like something you'd experience in a bigger city like New York, very upscale and perfectly curated. Highly recommend Lamar's if you're looking for a fun, yet refined spot to stop in for a drink!

We committed the cardinal sin of not checking reviews before we walked in. We were headed to another bar but were drawn in by the cozy decor. The decor and the music vibes do not match at all. Decor was really classy but the music was loud dance music. The bartenders were nice and attentive but didn't know their cocktail menu, their liquors, or literally how to make basic drinks. I asked for something on the cocktail menu and several bartenders looked at me confused. So I ended up going with an old fashioned. They messed that up pretty good. Was almost undrinkable. My final conclusion was that this is a college bar designed to make college kids feel fancy with the classy decor, but college bar everything else.

Really cool high end sports bar on King Street. We made reservations for a Friday night with some friends. The atmosphere is fantastic. We all were interested in checking out this Weiner tower. We started with a meat and cheese board which was excellent. The weiner tower is really good and definitely worth a try. The downside was the service. Maybe it was just our server, but the service was very poor on several levels.

Came here for brunch, we were the only people in there for 30/45 minutes and the staff was nice enough to put music for us instead of football!!!!! We got the wiener tower and it was delish, came with a ton of fries. Christmas decor is stunning! Can't speak for the nightlife but the brunch vibe was great

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. There’s likely a reason it’s not featured on many Charleston restaurant lists and often has open reservations. If you have any food allergies, I’d advise caution—someone in our party had a peanut allergy, and our order was mixed up. A 20% gratuity was automatically added, which may have contributed to our waitress’s passive-aggressive attitude and inattentiveness to our table.

Very cute Christmas bar! Ron was a great Bartendar, very personable. Maddy was an exceptional server and very accommodating of all our requests. We will be back!

Absolutely love everything about this place. The decor, the food, the cocktails and even the secret door. The cocktails are delicious and they have great holiday themed ones this time of year I'm a big fan of the peppermint espresso martini. If you don't get the hot dog tower, you're missing out.

Very cool bar, however it was a lot smaller than what we expected. We went on a Saturday to watch college football and they had multiple games on across 6+ different TVs which was cool. We ordered the chicken and waffles on the brunch menu which were AMAZING. Definitely more on the pricy side but we expected that.

We opted to have pre dinner cocktails and snacks at Lamar's instead of Bourbon and Bubbles. We made a great choice. We had a party of 9. Service was perfect. The cocktails and food were delicious. Caviar deviled eggs are a must. Espresso martini another must. Cheers Lamar's!!! We will be back!!

Lamar's is a fun spot to start a night out on king st! Grab a Weiner tower to try their 5 different hot dog flavors and their truffle fries! The PB time wiener has an insane Asian peanut style sauce on it that will make you want to hog that dog all to yourself!

Nice atmosphere. Great servers and bartenders. I've been here for a few events and wouldn't mind visiting on a normal evening. The vibe is laid back and upscale. The staff are very professional and attentive. Bartenders seem experienced and able to satisfy all requests.

Really nice spot and great service! But probably one of if not the worst chicken and waffles I've ever had. The batter tastes like funnel cake batter and the "syrup" is like a thick caramel sauce so just beware if you're gonna order that. Im sure the other food is great but after wasting $20 I wasn't really wanting to try anything else

Connected to bourbon and bubbles by a cute hidden book shelf as a door. Waited here at the bar til our table was ready at bourbon and bubbles. Highly suggest doing this! Got the meat and cheese as we waited. The bar is sooo cute. The hostess was so nice she even got us free champagne

Looking for a sports bar that gives a speak easy feel? Check out Lamar's! This place opened in August and def is a place to pop into if you are walking down King Street. They have TV's so you can catch football or basketball on Sunday's. The drinks are strong and they have a variety of options They do serve food but did not get anything on this visit.

Lamar's was an unexpected but good stop while waiting for our table at Bourbon n bubbles ! We went for what they're known for the "Espresso Martini" which was delicious and strong. Keep in mind it is $20 for one. My husband and I both got one so $40 for two drinks and they already add gratuity which came out to $58 total! Yikes, definitely a big tip for less than 60 second interaction but at least we got a good drink.

If I could give Lamar's more then 5 stars I would. Amazing vibes, AMAZING staff, amazing fun drinks! Also handicap accessible! Thank you Lamar's for making my 21st so special!

This was a strange experience. Encouraged to come into the club after dining at Bourbon and Bubbles. Gorgeous staff, cool space. Waited for night to fall and the DJ to start spinning, then got up to dance. Immediately got served our check... though we thought dancing was what was encouraged (chairs removed... loud, bumping music, etc.) Maybe we read the vibe wrong. Would have stayed but felt kind of shut down. Hope we misread things. Didn't stay to find out. Also. gratuity was added to our check for three drinks. Wasn't prepared for that, so heads up. Overall, cool space, just didn't know what we were getting ourselves into and left disappointed.

Had an interesting experience with one of the bouncers. The other employees reacted well and logically, which we appreciate. Overall, be careful and aware. Appreciate the response from some of the employees. Hope they all follow through.

My husband and I visited on Saturday Jan. 6, 2024. We had reservations at 6 to sit at the bar. The bartended was nice and helpful. I was so happy to see the plaque on the wall in remembrance of the late Attorney David Aylor. The drinks were really good and the atmosphere is gorgeous!! We also enjoyed the oldies tunes. Great job with this bar. I can't wait to return to try the food. -Nakeia Pinckney
