Lowlife Bar

Intro / Overview

Nestled just a few blocks off Center Street at 106 E Hudson Avenue, Lowlife Bar is a vibrant, beachy hangout that feels like Key West transplanted into Folly Beach. Beloved for its welcoming atmosphere, creative cocktails, and flavorful brunch and dinner offerings, this spot has earned a reputation as a local favorite.

Menu Highlights

Lowlife serves up an enticing selection of brunch items, seafood, bar bites, and specialty cocktails. Favorites include the Avocado Toast, Thai Chile Brussels Sprouts, Shrimp Roll, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, and vibrant Poke served over wonton chips. Their cocktail lineup is equally inventive—think Pluff Mudslide, Toni Basil, Dark n Shady, and Slowlife—plus rotating draft beers, wines, and canned selections.

Atmosphere & Experience

Expect a laid-back, festive vibe at Lowlife. The interior features bar seating, high-top tables, and ambient string lights that create a rustic yet beach-chic setting, while the covered outdoor patio offers a relaxed spot to chill. Dog-friendly and community-oriented, it’s a place where even pups are welcomed with homemade bacon treats.

Why It Stands Out

Lowlife Bar stands out for its vibrant energy, standout cocktails, and consistently delicious, approachable food in an authentic beach-town setting. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, cocktails, or casual dinner, the friendly staff and “good vibes only” attitude make it a must-visit on Folly Beach.
