Dive Bars in Charleston, WV

Fresh reviews:

Big Joe’s is a solid, divey bar on lower Capitol Street. Decent selection of bottled beers reasonably priced, bar food a bit on the right of the quality bell curve, and a sociable atmosphere. Well worth spending at least some of your drinking dollars at when roaming the downtown scene.

Big Joes

Straight dive, West Virginia style. Paneled walls covered in WVU-themed A-B promotional materials and local sports memorabilia, HD televisions playing ESPN on crappy, standard def signals, and both pool tables AND darts.The bar selection is typical WV dive too: a couple of decent labels of each type of spirit…

Doug’s Topside Tavern

Went here back in May 2013. Management is not very customer friendly. Can’t even have a good time and tell a few clean jokes about pussy cats with out getting asked to leave unreal!
