Been hearing rumors of another reopening in 2022.....we've loved Dudley's, but a coat of new paint will not be enough. What this place desperately needs is a change in bar staff and DJs. New faces. Seeing the same people there for this long is depressing. Over the years all of our experiences at this bar are exactly the same. The music is not great, playing the same playlists over and over. The bartenders are sneaking shots with friends, talking about one another when one leaves, it's just old. Dudley's is getting left in the past by all of the other places around it. I really hope they step it up this time!

The Saturday night $5 cover drag show was the highlight of our bach trip to Charleston!!! The queens were fabulous. Bar service was super fast! Only advice would be to get there about an hour+ in advance if you want a table, and sit near the stage and not along the back wall…otherwise people will block your view of the drag show.

Unbelievable door policy. Arrived at 9:45 and at 10:15 security said "the manager said to close the door. No more people allowed in". This is after seeing 12 people depart. I have seen it more crowded. Also, packed by bridal parties who weren't gay. Bottom line: unpredictable service, caters to non core clientele (straights) and doest support the girls on the stage (won't allow people in). Not returning

Love the place, but unfortunately Dudley’s is a frequent destination for bachelorette parties. This bar is the only true LGBT bar in Charelston, SC and the parties are invading the space, which is hurting the community. Some bars have actually banned bachelorette parties. The LGBT community deserve their own gathering place and bar owners have every right to ban groups that are disruptive.

Love. This. Place. Any time we're in Charleston we'll be stopping by. Chris our bartender on Tuesday was the freaking best ❤️

It gets pretty packed but I had an amazing time! Bartenders were nice and patient (especially since I have a soft voice). Went on a Saturday night - came a little late but saw most of the drag show. They’re amazing! Love the energy! Will definitely be visiting again 😊

I the person who is on the door he told he is the manager, he refused me come in because :"I don't like Mexicans" he literally told me. I never was so humiliated, he seem he was enjoying that .

My partner and I thoroughly coming here on occasion! We have the opportunity to meet other like-minded women, and feel like we are in a safe environment.

Came by and was served by Chris, who was charismatic, friendly, and helpful! Bar is clean, though it was quiet (my bad, it was 6 PM on a Wednesday!) I'm there now, a little drunk, and having a great time :)

Very small but adorable atmosphere. We missed the drag show but the little stage upfront looked to be an intimate and fun show. Pati O Furniture was the performer that evening. I don't know if we where there to early but it was pretty empty for a Thursday night.
