Rusty Bull Brewing Co. (North Charleston) — Restaurant in North Charleston

I visited Rusty Bull Brewery for the Ryan Griffin concert, which was a part of the Nashville Hot Country Concert series hosted by Kickin' 92.5.

The concert was a great deal, because tickets were only $8 in advance ($12 at the door), which included one beer. Since the brewery hosted the concert, the atmosphere was a fairly intimate, with a small stage and seats for everyone.

I'm thankful indoor live music is back in 2022, because I missed it during 2020 and 2021 when most things were outdoors and socially distanced. We had a sudden rain downpour during the concert, so I was glad to be inside.

I tried two beers. The Saltwater Cerveza came with my concert ticket. It was not my favorite, but any free beer is a good beer. The Berry Stomp beer was more my style, and I would order it again. I usually go for sour beers, and while it was not a sour, I can see other sour lovers enjoying it.

For food, I tried the soft pretzels, which were delicious. The appetizers offered are carb-y for soaking up the beer and very traditional- wings, pretzels, fries, tots. They also offer burgers, chicken sandwiches, and hot dogs. The prices are very fair, especially since most surrounding restaurants are chains/franchises. Rusty Bull offers a Beyond Burger for vegetarians too.

The Kickin 92.5 DJs (Hunter, Kush, Jessica, and Brian) did a great job keeping the audience entertained while we waited on Ryan to perform and singing karaoke to one of the songs. The Rusty Bull staff was also wonderful. Even with a packed venue, no one had to wait long for a beer, and they kept the dishes/glasses cleared from the tables.

The brewery is located just behind Chucktown Axe Throwing, so if you're throwing axes, you can order food and...

Looking for a lively spot with a fun and inviting atmosphere? Rusty Bull definitely delivers on that front! From the moment we walked in, the energy was contagious. They've created a space that feels great for a casual night out with friends.

The food was undeniably delicious, with some really tasty dishes coming out of the kitchen. However, we did find some of our selections to be a touch on the salty side, so that's something to be aware of. On the plus side, the drink menu is extensive, offering plenty of options to quench your thirst, whatever your preference.

Where Rusty Bull fell a little short was the service. While not outright bad, it certainly wasn't a highlight of our experience.

One thing to note for families: while we enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, it didn't strike us as the most kid-friendly environment, particularly for younger children. The noise level and overall vibe seem geared more towards adults.

Overall: Rusty Bull is a solid choice if you're prioritizing a fun atmosphere and tasty food with a wide array of drinks. Just consider if the lively environment is suitable for your...

Quite possibly some of the worst food and beverage I’ve had, and for an outrageous price to boot.

Let me break it down: The pretzel and “cheese”—a frozen, then microwaved, mushy, chewy pretzel. The cheese? Curdled and then reheated for probably the 17th time because it was sent back 16 other times.

The pimento and vegetable app—veggies and pita were fine. The pimento cheese—subpar at best. Tasted like a ball of nothing.

Finally, the beers. Tried 3 full beers and left three nearly full beers at the table. The seltzer was flat and tasteless. The saltwater cerveza…wow. Quite musky and sulfury. Reminded me of Monty Python’s quest for the Holy Grail…”Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries.”

And before you reply saying I’ve commented derogatory and hateful comments, please keep in mind that, with the exception of the Monty quote, I’ve tried to remain as factual and unbiased as I can, barring some obvious …embellishments.

I don’t recommend this...
