A bar, made from shipping containers (mostly), and co-owned by Bill Murray. What could go wrong? Nothing, nothing at all. Because it is exactly what you expect it to be . A great bar with outdoor, indoor, and covered seating. They have different food trucks onsite every day (up to five), Trivia nights, Wine Down Wednesdays, and an outdoor deck that feels like you're in someone's backyard. They do offer a few cocktails, but they keep it simple and to the point. I loved the location with it being just off the Interstate and in a neighborhood. The main building is an old body shop and the three containers form the bar and covered seating. The bar team is friendly, knowledgeable, and heavy with their pours. My only let down was learning Bill was there the night before for their one year anniversary. Heart breaking. More...

This place gets 5 stars for AUCE Oysters on Sunday! They keep them coming hot from steaming and have the crackers, cocktail sauce and tabasco on the table ready to dress your freshly shucked Oysters. $10 pitchers of Yengling and Bud Light make this a perfect spot for Sunday Funday! More...

I loved the bar but was appalled when a small glass of Bailey’s and a craft beer was over $25. Watched the bartender pour 2 short shots of Bailey’s for $14! Highway robbery!

Great little spot right in wagener terrace. They offer a full bar with several local beers on draft. Â There is a rotating food truck that comes by daily. With ample indoor and outdoor seating it is a great spot to meet large groups of friends. Â My bartender was Maranda and service was gracious and prompt! More...

I was super excited when I heard Container Bar was opening right up the road from me. Their patio is dog-friendly and equipped with games like Jenga. I have been a couple of times and I get different vibes every time I go. One time it was basically a biker bar, another time it was mostly families from the neighborhood there, and lately it seems like there's been mostly young professionals. They have a great selection of beer and cocktails and they have specials on different nights. Monday is Industry night, Tuesday they have trivia, and Wednesday is "Working Womens' Wednesday" with $2 off wine (holla). They have rotating food trucks, but their resident one has a damn good burger! If you're looking for a chill place to soak up the sun on the patio and play some games, Container Bar is the move.

This is a newish spot owned by Charleston native and local celebrity Bill Murray. It has a large bar, outdoor seating a few couches and rotating food trucks serving food each night. The beer specials were fabulous and the Vietnamese food truck hit the spot. I had dumplings and drunken rice noodles with chicken. Great addition to the Charleston food scene. More...

How can you beat an industrial neighborhood bar on My. Pleasant Street that has seriously good drink specials, free warm caramel corn and peanuts, live trivia Monday evenings, several TVs, and lounge chairs set up in a converted shipping container? $2.50 Tecate, $3 well drinks, blood orange hard cider on tap, nice wooden tables with sturdy chairs outside, and good music on the radio.

Container Bar is a cool place to hang out and have drinks. Like the location that is tucked away, but still convenient to get to and has parking. They have a nice open indoor and outdoor space with plenty of room to lounge and move around. Friendly staff that makes sure that everyone is happy and taken care of. Plenty of fun and good times available at Container Bar. More...

One of my new favorite bars near downtown. It's perfect to sit out with the weather getting nicer. They have a variety of cocktails along with food trucks on standby. The atmosphere is awesome. Â Plenty of outdoor seating illuminated with palm trees adorned with lights. It makes for some good ambiance. The parking is decent. The service has always been good when I've visited. I can definitely see this being a go to when wanting to sit outside and relax on a downtown patio bar. More...

Finally got around to trying this place. I saw they were having a St. Patrick's Day event so we decided to check it out. The parking lot is super small--maybe it works on regular days but it doesn't work for big events. We ended up parking in the neighborhood and walking. I absolutely love the freight container theme. The bar is bright orange and black so it's hard to miss. There's indoor seating with a combination of high top tables and booths. There's a patio with tables and couches. Some of the bartenders were nice and friendly--others, not so much. Hopefully it was only because of the stress of the event. There were three food trucks on site, Holy City Waffles, Immortal Lobster, and a burger truck--I don't remember the name. Overall, it was a good experience. I plan on going on a normal day to see what it's like. More...

I went for St Patrick's day, which was my first time ever experiencing this bar. It's another hidden gem of Charleston that's for sure. The bar is literally made from containers. There's an indoor and outdoor seating area. The out door seating area has a ton of cool group games like corn hole, large connect four, and Jenga. The part that I think is even cooler is that they have various food trucks that come out every weekend and set up shop. This particular weekend they had a lobster truck and holy city waffles. Â They also had a burger and hot dog truck, but we won't get into that. Lastly, the bar had several drinking options and Jell-O shots! My only complaint was that the music was to loud so you literally had to yell at your friends to talk, and that it was extremely difficult to find parking, which may have been in part with it being a major drinking holiday.

Stopped in for an employee party and I have to say the service was refreshing. I'm a retired Service Industry Vet and I know the feeling when you see a large group of people walking into your establishment. .. We walked up and the bartenders greeted us all with smiles and patience. I love the concept of this bar made from containers. It was spacious, open and inviting. AMPLE seating and games to play as you enjoy the snacks and libations available. Wide selection of beer and spirits to enjoy while a free oyster roast was happening... located close enough but far enough away from downtown... I will be back. More...

The first thing I think of when I see this establishment is amazing & efficient use of surroundings and location. My favorite thing about this place is that they have a lot of food trucks that are allowed to come and they give them hookups so that the trucks don't use their generators and make a lot of noise. That goes a long ways towards the atmosphere, especially since this place is mostly outside. Even better, if you are waiting for a table at near-by Rutledge Cab Co. they are super close to grab a quick drink or two. Loved my time here and would be interested in trying it again when I am back in town... More...

Great place to come and have a drink! We went here this weekend while visiting friends in Charleston. We decided Sunday morning to grab brunch at Rutledge Cab Co. Since the wait was an hour, my friends suggested going around the corner to Container Bar. Luckily, it was a beautiful morning, and I was able to really enjoy the atmosphere of Container Bar. We were one of the first people there, being that it was only 11:15am. There was a burger food truck setting up, but he wasn't going to open up until noon. Which is honestly a shame, because the burgers looked amazing, and were a lot cheaper than at Rutledge. Container bar has seating around the bar, outside tables, a covered couch area, and a seating area that is covered. There are also a few TV screens. I really enjoyed the laid-back feel of the place. They had several beers on draft, and even a cider, which is what I decided on. That cider was one of the best I'd had all weekend! We were able to sit outside and just enjoy the day while waiting for our table at Rutledge. When I visit Charleston again, I'd definitely come back here. More...

Hit up the Container Bar with a group of friends a few weeks ago and had a mixed, but positive, experience. First up: parking can be a bit confusing. There is a small lot for CB itself, a shared lot with Rutledge Cab, and street parking. Hopefully they have better signage in the future directing people where to park. Container Bar's venue is awesome. There is a large outdoor space with different sized tables, a good sized indoor space, and a bar dividing the two. The outside space has a cute like cabana spot with comfy seating, too. They have rotating food trucks for lunch and dinner each day, along with a Mexican food truck that apparently lives there. We had ordered from Sap Lai for dinner (YUM) but some friends got the Mexican food and said it was good. There were some mixups -- the bar wanted to keep our credit cards but we needed them in order to pay for our dinners, at least one friend didn't get their food and had trouble getting reimbursed, etc., but that is to be expected from a new place. Hopefully they learn from these issues so things can run more smoothly. The staff was super friendly and even brought out a bowl of ice water when they noticed my pup was with us! All in all -- parking meh, food YES, staff Double YES. I can't wait to go back. More...

A group of yelpers met up for happy hour within days of this place opening. Â They had just received their liquor license, and in fact, they received their first shipment of liquors and were unloading them as we waited. Â They have their own on-site food offerings, of which we were not aware and were not informed at first. Â For now, the menu consists of tacos, queso, and the like. Â Several people ordered from the Container Bar menu and although simple, it was very good. Â Unfortunately, one of our table mates didn't get her order at all. Â There was lots of confusion when it came time to pay, too. Â They didn't comp her non-delivered meal, but rather asked her if she wanted another (free) drink. Â We were leaving, so no, she didn't want to chug another beer right before going home. Â ;-/ Seemed odd. Â Part of the confusion seems to stem around the fact that they have multiple computer systems going at the same time and apparently they don't interface very well (or maybe not at all). Â The servers also didn't seem very prepared for the overwhelming show of patrons that night. Â Not sure why! Â It was a Friday night and everyone who is anyone has been chomping at the bit to try this place out! Â They plan to offer multiple food trucks on-site to provide additional items and to change things up a bit. Â There was only one food truck the night we visited, but it was good. Â There is still parking on-site, too, which is a huge bonus. Â They share with the Rutledge Cab Company overflow parking lot next door. Â There is an inside seating area that is much larger than expected, as well as many outdoor tables on a large patio area. Â There is also a cozy little couch area outside but under cover. Â I look forward to sitting outside again on cooler nights when hopefully they will have heaters set-up around for awesome mingling. Â For large groups or private parties, the inside area is perfect. Â I am curious about the acoustics though.This is a great spot and a welcome addition to this part of town. Â As you probably know, Bill Murray is behind it, so it has to be good. Â I look forward to returning soon! Â I'm sure they will improve their service quickly. More...
