"The city’s sole heavy-metal bar, offering late-night revelry and a distinctive countercultural vibe." - Erin Perkins

"The city’s only heavy-metal bar — recommended as a late-night, offbeat destination for those seeking a different scene." - Erin Perkins

"King Street dive bar Sugey’s Bar is dedicated to all things heavy metal — but even if you don’t listen to Motorhead, you’ll have a good time here. Concert posters line the walls and old slasher movies play behind the bar. The drink selections are more sophisticated than most dives, with a decent wine selection, local beers, and tropical concoctions like the Pantang Painslayer (a take on the Painkiller)." - Erin Perkins


"Dive bars are often owned by people with a devil-may-care attitude, so they’ll open just to spite the storm." - Erin Perkins

"At 638 King Street, Sugey’s—a new metal music bar from the owners of D’Allesandro’s and Cutty’s with former Cutty’s manager Sarah Griffith running the space—markets itself as the only bar in Charleston dedicated to heavy metal bands, ’80s horror films, and tiki drinks." - Erin Perkins
