There’s a lot happening on James Island. In addition to the retro movie theater and live music venue Pour House, there’s Bar George in the Riverland Terrace neighborhood. Like much of the surrounding area, it’s got a fun vibe: you can relax and play some pinball or stare at their vintage TV-turned-aquarium in the lounge area. The food doesn’t take itself too seriously, with a mix of things like daily crudos and oysters alongside hot dogs and Peruvian roast chicken. The cocktail menu here is also not to be missed—order the rum-based Passion Fruit Painkiller or one of the excellent martinis.
