Henry's Bar & Restaurant

This review is just on the night life here.



I've never had their food here and I've never been here before 9pm.



This is where I went go to party, dance, drink and listen to live music. I loved coming here on the weekends. The first floor is a large bar with lots of seating and tables. The second floor has a mini bar with a small area for bands/musicians to play live music. There are tables to sit and enjoy the music and a little dance area. The third floor has a large and small bar and a dance floor with a DJ playing hits. There's always people dancing on the dance floor. There is also a VIP area on this floor away from all of this.



There is a staircase that leads to the roof top where there are tables and chairs to drink, lounge and hang out.



I enjoyed coming here late night on weekends because of all these options. I could dance to a DJ or listen to live music or just relax and drink while looking into the sky. It was always a fun time. There were so many different people that come here. There were older people, dressed up females, dudes in casual and fancy clothes, hippies, etc. You could find anyone here.



The bar tenders and other staff members are really nice and friendly.



One night at bar close, I was standing a few feet away from Henry's waiting for my ride. Some creepy drunk dude comes up to my friend and I, right in my face, almost touching me and starts to ramble obscene things. The bouncer at Henry's came between me and this dude and told him to go away. Thank goodness that happened, I was so relieved. I didn't even notice there were bouncers around. Apparently, he just saw the situation, how uncomfortable I was and intervened. I was grateful that he was around watching the crazy crowd of people.

It was my first night on charleston and I wanted to go out for dinner. I walked into Henrys and was blown away by the place. Beautiful gold leaf paint on the ceiling, billowing red curtains, a friendly staff to greet me and what must be charleston's most hip clientele. Sat at the bar, had a great chicken taco and a couple of drinks. A great band started to play in the corner as a waitress told me there was an exterior deck on the roof. I headed up to what has to be the coolest deck in the city and looked over at what looked like another bar. To my enjoyment I proceeded into what is known as NV Dance Lounge. This place was amazing, cool lighting, big oriental rugs everywhere and a pumping system with one of the best DJs I've ever heard. All in all it was an incredible night
