Hide in the 11 Best Dive Bars in Charleston | Eater Carolinas

"While Bangkok Lounge looks like the former Upper Deck Tavern, it now offers a seven-nights-a-week karaoke bar with tiki drinks. Though owner Chris “Boston” DiMattia previously said, “I don’t want to call it a tiki bar, but we will have four frozen drink machines and hope to have a signature punch on tap.”" - Erin Perkins

Karaoke/Tiki Bar Opens in Former Upper Deck Tavern Space Tomorrow | Eater Carolinas

"Reopened on Oct. 9 as a seven-nights-a-week karaoke bar, this newly renovated 353 King Street spot, run by Chris “Boston” DiMattia, emphasizes nightly singing, dancing, and tropical-style drinks. Though the owner resists the tiki-bar label, the operation will feature four frozen-drink machines and aims to have a signature punch on tap; the interior restoration brings back yellow walls and padded bar stools reminiscent of the building’s earlier tavern era. Final decorative touches remain, and the nightly program is expected to include casual food like hot dogs alongside the drinks and entertainment." - Erin Perkins

Recovery Room Owner Purchases Former Upper Deck Tavern Space | Eater Carolinas

"Purchased by local owner Chris “Boston” DiMattia from Brian Wolter, this King Street bar will be rebranded as a seven-nights-a-week karaoke lounge with different nightly themes — think country western, ’80s, and show tunes — and a small back room for private karaoke groups. The owner plans to invite local drag queens to MC several nights with opportunities for duets, and has enlisted bartenders Matt Lane (Dudley’s) and Cullen Baney (formerly of Upper Deck) along with Recovery Room staff to run the bar. The concept will include four frozen drink machines, a signature punch on tap, and a simple hot-dog-focused menu, all designed to create a fun, safe, and inclusive spot for birthdays, bachelorettes, and other celebrations; opening is slated for October. The new venture replaces an earlier attempt at 353 King St. that never fully recaptured the former dive bar’s crowd." - Erin Perkins

Order the mango slush with vodka! This was truly one of the best places we visited for entertainment in Charleston. The vibes were great. The people were kind. Karaoke was amazing. There were no private rooms, but singing in front of a bunch of people you don't know cannot be beat. Got pizza afterwards at the pizza shop just a short walk from here. Came back and sang a little more.

Absolutely love this place! We booked a table for my son's 21st birthday and it was perfect! This is an extremely popular spot, so come early or bring some patience. There will be a line, but it is worth the wait. The staff made sure to make us feel like we had been regulars for years. I don't care if you are a local or a visitor, you HAVE to hit this spot for a few cold beers, frozen drinks and hot tracks!

this is the place you want to be if you love karaoke and having a good time!! it’s not your typical karaoke place. no need to rent a room or call all of your people. go alone and make a bunch of friends or bring your friends too! but get ready to sing to a crowd!! they have frozen drinks which i loveeee, you can add liquor or just enjoy as is! (non alcoholic) not to mention DJ Red makes sure to maintain the vibes every time and NEVER disappoints! feeling shy? she will hop on the mic with you! need a hype girl? she’s right behind or next to you (depending on where you’re standing and singing!) truly the best place EVER. i take all my friends and family when they visit and they always can’t wait to come back to go back!!

DJ Red is a queen. The best karaoke in Charleston. She brings so much fun to every night. It’s insane. And (against the other review), she would never bring bad blood to her karaoke scene. She keeps everything positive and fun!

We came here on our last night in Charleston to get some drinks and do some karaoke. It was a Monday night so the bar was empty but the staff was so much fun and did karaoke with us. Drinks were reasonably priced and had some great happy hour deals. Perfect send off to our Charleston trip

Literally the most phenomenal experience I’ve ever had at a bar! DJ Red made us feel comfortable enough to sing the best(worst) songs, enjoy our time, and amazing drinks! My second time here, definitely won’t be the last!!!

Came here towards the very end of my night and wanted to pop in and see how it was. I signed up but there was a handful of people in front of me so I didn’t know if I would get to sing. I’m sure the vibes change from day to day with the crowds but I’d say there was a variety of people there, older, college kids, bachelorette party, wedding party. It definitely gives dive bar energy and drinks are affordable which was nice. Everyone was quite friendly there and it’s a great place to just be a spectator if you don’t like to sing. lol I actually got called up to sing just before they shut down and everyone was really vibin! I’ll need to come back because I didn’t get to spend much time there but all in all it was a fun time even going solo.

I’m a regular but always love this bar. The staff is amazing from bar staff to DJs. Last night DJ Alicia Red was so great! Total professional and amazing singer in her own right. I have never had a bad experience here. The crowds are always fun and positive and the food is great too and the drinks are priced well. Simply the best karaoke bar in existence!!!!
