Dudley's

The shows were alright , great outfits but I thought the entertainment would dance more to there skit or whatever u call it. The queens were friendly and the staff was nice. The bars a lil too small. The drag queens who perform are definitely having fun. I wish they would be more entertaining and not just lip sing. Not alot of seating and i suggest get there atleast an hour before to see shows .

Karaoke Tuesday night. Mixed crowd of people, good sound system, online song requests and queueing. The host was fun and made sure everyone was welcome/invited to sing. Many people were using vape/ e-cigarettes indoors.

Went here for a sunday night drag show with some friends and also alot of our first drag show experience! We had a great time and all the ladies were great and very crowd involved especially for the couple of Bachelorette and birthday party groups they had. It was a very entertaining and funny show and the drinks although kinda limited as far as selection were great as well! The bartenders that night were super friendly and very quick even while busy. Well deff be back again!

Dudley’s is truly a gem and an essential part of Charleston’s nightlife. As the only gay bar in Charleston, Dudley’s provides a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space where everyone can be unapologetically themselves. The atmosphere is always warm, energetic, and full of community spirit. Broke Collins deserves special recognition for bringing incredible entertainment and heart to the space. The performances are fun, bold, and full of personality, and they consistently create nights that are memorable and uplifting. You can feel the passion and effort that goes into every event. Dudley’s isn’t just a bar—it’s a community hub, a place of celebration, and a reminder of how important queer spaces are, especially in the South. Grateful to have a place like this in Charleston that continues to show up, stand proud, and bring people together.

I always find a gay bar on travel, and this was even more important since I’m traveling in the south as a solo queer female traveler. I’m so glad I did. I had such a good time. Friendly servers, awesome drag show, and fun dance music between shows. I love a good Happy Hour too, three dollar beers. Say less. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🪩
