The Empty Glass

The best of the best, for all ages, genre’s and all walks of life. This is the place where the «regular» people come to blend and jam to live music, great conversations and they all have a sense of humors. The drinks are great and beer options are vast. The happy hour bartender, Heather, always greets you as you walk in, chats with you when you place your order and remembers you when you come back… week after week.

If you are a Music Lover or a Musician. Your CUP runneth OVER at «The Empty Glass!!»
Every night of the week is something different. The stage will either have local talent (out of town folk too, lol!!) doing «Open Mic,» and a Gig who plays every week who brings the Freak, Funk, & Awesome out EVERY time!!! Thank you Spurg!
ALL other nights the stage is filled with the most diverse, great, different, normal, unusual, old, new, & regular rock, old, new, & regular country, soul, funk, alternative, R&B, punk, hip-​hop, rockabilly, weird, not weird, hard, not hard, wild, soft, silly, serious, from absolutely inaudible, to «that was beautiful!!» and MANY other types of Musical Genres!!!
So, if the fabulous nightly musical talents don’t woo you in… Maybe knowing Chris, «The Glass’s First Class!!» generally tries to have all the «new» and most unusual Beers and Lagers available for his customers to indulge will entice you just enough to come on in. Plus, the kitchen’s open late and they have some really tasty Pizzas and wings, etc…
There is ALWAYS a Doorman here who watches outside and inside. I have honestly never felt unsafe here. If anyone would need an escort to their car, they would make sure that would happen, so «no worries!!»
There are many reasons that I enjoy going to The Empty Glass. I have always felt so welcome, the staff, the owner, the patrons, and the entertainment as well, are the most down-​to-​earth, and friendliest people you could ever meet!!! When you walk in, they instantly greet you and make you feel like you belong.
Another reason I respect The Glass… And this may sound silly to some people… But it is one of my biggest pet peeves!!!
The Glass has a Closing Time and They DO NOT Close BEFORE Closing Time!
1 customer or 135, it doesn’t matter… They stay open…
If the Sign Says: OPEN Monday 2pm-​11pm
Then you can bet your sweet ass… they will be there on: MONDAY: 2pm-​11pm!!!
I have gone to many establishments anywhere from 8:30pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 1:30am, etc… Drove 10 – 50 miles and because they were «slow»… They closed early…. And to add to my frustration… A big sign on the door or lit up on the parking lot with the Bar Hours posted in BIG BLACK LETTERS to CLOSE
like at 2:00AM. & I look at my clock and it’s 10:40PM!!! LMAO!!! To me, that shows total disrespect for your customers & their time.
If you’re going to close early, put ?‘s on your closing time. JS…
So, that’s my spill… Now I guess I have to go get «My Empty Glass» refill!!!

I played a show at this place during my visit to Charleston. The staff and sound guy were awesome and the chicken wings were fan-​fucking-​tastic.
